NEW YORK, July 2.-The buying
side of the stock market had a
better following today and such
groups as steels.. rails, farm imple-
ments and industrial specialists
pushed ahead fractions to a point
or more.
Helping to generate the rally i'm
pulse was a general acceptance in
trading circles of the idea that the
slow downward drift of prices the
last few days had left the list in a
good position for a modest come
back.
Some sections were unresponsive
to the turn and volume of around
100000 shares, while an improve
ment over Tuesday, failed to indi-
cate a break in the apathy of buyers
and sellers.
At the same time the recovery
gave speculative circles an oppOr-
tunlty for more hopeful conjecture
on immediate trends. since it came
in the wake of new German claims
OF disastrous defeats inflicted upon
the Russians. Furthermore, ANALYSTS
pointed out, there had been no signs
of urgent selling as the market ad-
justed itself TO the run of adverse
reports from Berlin over the last
several days.
Apart from the continuing un-
certainty as to how much additional
tax burden industry will have TO
assume for this year, the domestic
business news picture was favorable.

Civilian Steel Needs
Are Certain 10 Meet
More Drastic Cuts
Some Mills Estimate
so Pct. of New Orders
Are Directly for Defense
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 2-Defense re-
quirements of steel are assuming
such proportions that civilian needs
will probably be curtailed far
greater than anticipated only a
short time ago, Iron Age said today
in its weekly review of the industry.
The publication cited four prin-
cipal factors bearing upon the
urgency of the defense require
ments. They were:
/. A statement by Chicago mill
that it can no longer ship fiat rolled
products which are not for defense
use.
2 A meeting of automobile man
ufacturers and Office OF Production
Management officials called for to-
day at Washington to study the
further slash in car production.
8. Indications some plants short
ly may close for lack of pig iron.
4. Signs that the steel industry
does not have an orderly flow OF
scrap to furnaces after u weeks of
Government control of iron and
scrap markets.
Civilian Angle of Situation.
Of the civilian angle of the sit
uation the survey said:
"Highlighting the growing pres
sure on civilian steel consumers to
find enough steel and some other
materials to maintain anything like
normal operating schedules is the
effort to curtail automobile produc-
ton. Automobile manufacturers,
singled out because of the size of
their industry, its great consump-
ton of vital materials and its added
Importance after conversion into a
defense industry, insist that the in
duStry'S planners and schedule max
ers have only one interest, and that
is an orderly transition from auto
output to full defense production
Already orders for automobile
manufacturers and other require
mentS classed as non defense are
being set back, and curtailment in
civilian steel shipments far beyond
anything imagined a short time ago
is being forecast at steel centers as
the percentage of new bookings car
rying preference ratings increases.
Some mills estimate that as high
as so per cent of new orders are
linked directly or indirectly to de-
fense needs. With mills tightening
up on commercial shipments the
outlook for complete fulfillment of
such commitments appears obscure.

DC. Postal Receipts
Break All Records
For Month Of June
HuIf-Yeur Revenues
Also Set New Mark
For Thut Period
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Postal officials reported today that
receipts at the City Post Office in
June smashed all previous records
for that month in the history of
the Office and that total revenues
for the first six months of this
year also scored a new mark for
that period.
June postal revenues totaled $762,-
tl5.49 in comparison with $623,-
1896 in June, 1910, surprising
gain of s138,8l584 or 22.6 per cent.
Comparisons show that the June
receipts were higher than the
Christmas holiday total in
December. 1884.
Postal officials are very much i'm
pressed by the June upsurge in
revenues. The gains were steady and
not caused by any special jumps due
to number of new stamp sales
such as was the case when the
Presidential Series was placed on
the market. This leaves substantial
business expansion as the main
cause of the advance
In the first six months of this
year postal receipts totaled s4,526,-
35443 against $4020,881 in the
corresponding period year ago,
an increase of S505 ,472.78.
Today's report on postal revenues
follows the statement on bank
clearings which also showed new
record for June and a new peak
for the six months, the gain in the
half year over 1910 being s166,822,-
535 As.
BY months, postal receipts in the
District compare as follows with the
corresponding months year ago:

Larger Corn Yield
For 1941 Forecast
By Crop Experts
Moisture Conditions
Expected to Boost Crop
Despite Cut in Seeding
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. July First private
estimates of the 194l corn crop today
indicated present prospects promise
larger harvest than last year de-
spite earlier indication of decreased
seedlings.
The average of four estimates
made by crop experts H c. Donovan,
c. M. Calvin, Nat c. Murray and
Mrs. E. H Miller, after survey of the
belt through thousands of reporting
agents, was 2.488,00O 900 bushels
Such crop would be 100000
larger than actual harvest last year
and 1S1 100000 larger than the aver
age for the decade from 1880
through 1899.
Excellent Moisture Conditions.
Mr.. Donovan said the corn pros
pect was due not only to excellent
moisture conditions at present. but
also to evidence of increased plant
ing of hybrid varities and narrowing
of rows in many fields.
Mr.. Calvin placed the crops con-
dition at 863 per cent of normal.
compared with 83 per cent a year
ago. The preliminary Government
estimate of acreage seeded was only
87.656,000 acres, compared with So
143,000 planted last year and 10
year average of 101, ,081 900 acres.
The average of experts estimates
of spring wheat production. includ-
ing Durum, was raised 100000
bushels, compared with a month ago
to 234,O0O.00O bushels If this sized
crop materializes, it will be the
largest since 1882, with the exception
of 234.569,000 produced in 1898.
Harvest last year totaled 227.547000
bushels.
Rains Hurt Wheat.
A reduction of 100000 bushels
in the winter wheat estimate, due to
rains, rust and insect damage the
past month particularly in Kansas.
Oklahoma and Texas. lowered the
forecast to 665 100000 bushels. Thus,
combined spring and winter wheat
production was placed at 899 ,00O, 900
bushels, largest since 1881, with the
exception of the 1873 crop. A month
ago the Government forecast a crop
of GIL 900 900 bushels.
The experts estimated oats produc-
ton at 1,155 100000 bushels, COM
pared with 1896 100000 last year;
rye at 44800.000 bushels, compared
with 40,601 900 last year, Donovan
placed the wheat production in the
Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan
provinces, Canada, at 100000 900
bushels, compared with $4,000, 900
last year, due largely to a sharp
reduction in acreage.
Mr.. Murray forecast domestic cot
ton production at 10.75OOOO bales,
compared with 1856, 900 last year.

of Wrangell from his father, ". L.
Paul, Secretary of the Alaska Native
Brotherhood. forwards an announce
ment made by officials of the Alas
ka Railroad of openings for fifty
Southeast Alaska Indians to work
as section hands on the railroad. It

The wire explains each man is
guaranteed As hours OF work per
week. at 81 cents an hour and the
work is expected to last until about
September Is, or until the winter
freeze-up. A man should be able to
earn around $3.50 clear during the

room while on the job will be under
a cooperative arrangement and men
are expected to pay their own trans
portation costs to the Westward.
A meeting was held last night to
determine the number Wrangell can
furnish and any others interested
should contact Livingston Desmond
