Automobile Output
Reaches Low Point
For 1910 Model
Production Rate Expected
To Rise Rapidly
During Rest of Month
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Aug. 1.-THE 1855
cars and trucks the Nations auto
mobile plants assembled last week
brought assembly volume to its low.
est point of 1910, according to
Wards Automotive Reports, but
from this point on the production
rate will be steadily upward, at a
rapidly accerelating pace through
the remainder of August and Sep
TENDER.
The trade publication estimates
that this weeks assemblies should
jump about 10000 and at least that
much again next week, with a total
of $4,000 a week more than probable
by the end of the month.
Wards estimates the production
of 1910 model automobiles at 4,164,-
693 units-3,386,637 passenger cars
and 778,056 trucks. Chevrolet, it
says, accounted for slightly more
than 25 per cent of this total, with
1,051, 700 units, of which 81l,95o
we're passenger cars. Following
Chevrolet came, in order, Ford, Ply
mouth, Dodge, Buick, Pontiac, Olds,
Studebaker, Packard and Hudson.
These totals are for passenger cars
and trucks together.
For passenger cars alone, the
ranking was: Chevrolet, Ford, PlymS
outh, Buick, Pontiac, Dodge, Olds,.
Studepaker, Packard and Hudson.
The 1889 model year production
totaled 3,390,382 vehicles.
Dealers generally" says the in
dustry survey, ARE moving stocks
today at extreme sacrifices in profits,
in order to have their floors clear
for new model reception. %
Volume has slowed from the
very rapid pace Of July, which is
entirely natural, but the expecta-
ton Of higher prices continues and
is a stimulant to business. Occa-.
Sionally, in some areas, sales are
currently falling off because of in
adequate stocks. which is indeed
healthy at this time.
"A remarkable reduction in field
stocks took place during July, born
of the furry in retail business and
the tapering in manufacturing ac-
tivity. 1t may be tentatively fig
ured that cars on hand in dealer.
and factory possession and in transit
decreased by 10000 units during
July-bringing the total down to
around 100000 at the start of Au-
gust-about 5000 lower than on that
date last year.

Figures
What TheyMeon
By JOHN L. BECKLEY,

NEW YORK, Aug. l2.-Railroad
securities are still in the doghouse
with many investors, but bond deal
ers say the improved showing of the
carriers has caused a steady in
crease in the number of institutions
willing to nibble at the rail list.
General Encouragement over the
future of the rail industry reached
its nadir early in 1888. The COL
lapse of earnings, after low and
difficult climb from the depths of
the depression, wiped out mucn of
the confidence in the carriers, and
most banks and insurance COM
panies continue a policy of not buy
ing any rails whatsoever. AS Homer
& Co. comments in its latest bond
bulletin, many prefer the open-end
mortgage on an obsolete electric
light plant in prairie village half
submerged by dust, which enjoys d
working capital deficit and an earn
ings coverage due principally to sub
molecular amortization, to a first
mortgage on the main line OF a
prosperous transcontinental carrier
covering its charges many fold with
enough Government bonds and cash
in the bank to meet maturities for
ten years."
The steady improvement in rail
traffic and operations over the last
year or so, however, has been bring
ing more institutions back into the
market, bond men say. Some will
take only prime short term obH-
cations, others only best long-term
bonds, and still others want low
priced first mortgages on border
line systems.

Cotton Prices Hold
Level in Spite Of
Loan Announcement
Day to Day Movements
Of 5 to 6 Points Seen
During Lost Week
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Despite
two events of major Importance,
the first Government report on the
current crop, and announcement
of the loan rates, price changes
last week were small. Except on
Thursday, when the crop report
was issued, day to day movements
were to 6 points, or less.
In the cotton exchange, active
futures contracts showed net
changes for the week ranging from
a decline of II points on the
October delivery to an advance
of points on distant July.
The estimate exceeded trade ex-
pectations. The market did not
decline on it because of the over
shadowing Importance of the Gov
eminent loan rates which we're not
announced until later in the week.
The loan rates were 81 to IS
points higher than last year but
not nearly so high as had been
rumored in some quarters. 1t wGs
believed that the Commodity
Credit Corp. had resisted pres
sure for higher rates partly be-
cause OF the prospect that the
Government will have to take into
its loan stock a substantial amount
of cotton from the new crop, to be
added to its present huge holdings,
and partly because it is realized
that high loan rates would threaten
domestic consumption. now the
mainstay of the industry.
There was an almost complete
lack of exports. except to Canada.
The oldest members of the trade
could not recall when there has
previously been such complete stag
nation in the export field. Trade
ideas of total exports in the season
just beginning range from 100000
to 100000 bales which would be
the smallest movement for the
greater part Of a century.
Trade interest in futures was very
light, partly because of lack of
export business and partly because
of slow sales of cloth by domestic
mills. The cloth market has been
dull since early June except for brief
spurts on a few lines of goods.
Mill activity, however, has not de-
clined greatly, and there are still
hopes in the trade that mill opera
tons will be at high average
level during the current season.

Trade was largely professional in
character, with some buying at

from hedgers. Spreading activity
also was in evidence, but on the
whole trade was quiet as dealers
awaited development in Europe.
Evidence that large quantities OF
wheat are going into storage pre-

helped to strengthen buying sentl-
