The Agriculture Department an
nounced yesterday it was discon-
tinuing for the time being the
purchase of some types Of pork

Products affected were cured and
smoked regular and skinned ham,

salt American cut bellies.
The department said greater
quantities Of these products would
thus be available for domestic con-
sumption at q period when hog
slaughter declined seasonably, and
when domestic demand for cured
pork is strong.
The department said purchases Of
frozen pork loins, trimmings, cured
Wiltshires, barrelled pork, lard
canned meat, fat back, jowls, plates
edible tallow, oleo oil. and hog cas-
ings for lease lend requirements

Steady Deterioration
OF French Economy
Is Reported
Agriculture Handicapped
By Serious Shortages,
MAGAZINE Reveals

Under the cumulative effects OF
the German occupation. STEADY de-
terioriation" was evident during
l941 In nearly all branches Of French
economy, according to an article In
Foreign Commerce Weekly.
Increasing scarcity of raw ma
terials, coal, motor fuels, foodstuf1s
and curtailment of transportation
facilities have reversed the recovery
trends operating from the end OF
1910 to the middle of 194i, the article
stated.
Supplies Dwindk.
French agriculture has been seri-
ously handicapped by dwindling sup
plies of fertilizers, draft animals,
fuel and adverse weather conditions.
Especially detrimental has been the
continued absence of large propor-
ton of farmers and farmworkers as
prisoners in Germany" the article
pointed out. Moreover, the develop
ment of a very substantial black
market" the inadequacy of trans
portation facilities, and factors re-
sulting from the division OF France
into zones have produced even great
er local shortages than would be
justified by the meager agricultural
output"
OF the 2,300, 600 motor vehicles in
France, it is estimated that more
than half were destroyed in 1910,
and it will take five years to make
I'D for this loss. At the present time,
practically all automobiles made In
France are for the use of the Nazi
forces Of occupation.
Coal Output Small.
Domestic production of coal aver
aged only 2,800,00o tons a month in
194l, as compared with normal re-
ouirements OF about 100000 tons.
Equally serious is the shortage of
petroleum.
"Tne average working week was
50 hours per week at the end OF
l94l as against 351a hours week
. year earlier, and the number OF
completely unemployed was sub
stantially reduced" the article said.
"This activity, however, was based
primarily on the execution of Ger
man orders-work done by French
industry as a whole for the occupa-
ton authorities being variously es-
timated at so to 80 per cent OF the
total"

Grafton says that the problem OF
financing imports, for small,
highly industrialized country like
the United Kingdom. lis not a
matter of economic theory but a
matter of economic life and death" ;"
Much depends on American
opinion" the report concludes.
In the past the abnormally high
tariff policy of the United States
has been a fatal bar to the de-
velopment of a reasonable system
of world trade.
TT is true that in the recent past
spokesmen of the American Gov
ernment have recognized this, but it
Is impossible to anticipate what the
postwar tariff policy of the United
States will be.

Lease-Lend Praised.
Acknowledging that inauguration
OF the lease-lend program was "a
major turning point in the war; the
report says:
The problem, however. of making

Years Auto Production
Estimated al 5,081,967
BY the Associated Press.

Dy tllc hSSOCldteC PreSS.
DETROIT, Jan. 3.-The trade
publication Automotive News in its
year-end survey of the motorcar in
dustry said today that despite the
numerous adverse happenings that
beset the automotive industry dur
ing the past year, total production
of new cars and trucks in the United
States and Canada reached 5O81 ,e67
units"
This was the highest output since
the banner year of 1929 when $751;
IT'S units were assembled. In 1887
the industry assembled 5,015,974 We
hicleS.
Although many observers have
estimated that the market for 1941
model cars had been oversold by
about 30 per cent" the trade publi-
cation said, "it is more than prob
able that production would have cas-
lily surpassed the 1929 figure in the
1941 calendar year, if the automo-
tive industry had been free of any
restrictions"
Automotive News estimated pro-
duction for the past week at 17,203
units compared with 23,l31 the pre-
vious week and 1888 in the COM
parable week q year ago.

Huge Increase Predicted
In 1912 Food Sales
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. Paul 8.
Willis, president Of the Associated
Grocery Manufacturers Of America,
today predicted food sales would
reach 5000 900 900 in 1912, an IN
crease OF $2,225 100000 over last
year.
Total retail food store volume in
1941, Willis estimated. was $l2,750,-
100000, or $3.50 0,OO0, 900 above the
record high of 1929.
Willis said that Government fig
ures indicated food prices as OF De-
cember Is were 1871 per cent Of the
1859 average The figure was
about Is per cent below 1929 and ap-
proximately 73 per cent below the
summer of 1920, Willis said.
Because management and Gov
ernment," Willis declared, both
clearly remember the inf1ationary
food price spiral from 1917 to 1920,
they are determined such an un-
bridled rise will not occur again."

Hosiery Firms Show
Spring Lines With
Silk Missing
Finer Threads Make
Royon Stockings
Unusually Sheer
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3-Manufac-
turers of women's hosiery have
started to introduce spring lines,
notable for the virtual absence OF
all-silk stockings, trade quarters said
today.
New types of rayons. using finer
threads and knitting up into un-
usually sheer hosiery, were includ-
ed at prices to fit into the old re-
tail silk-hosiery brackets of 81 and
sl.15 a pair. Only few lines in
cluoed silk In combination with
other f1bers.
Nylons were generally unchanged
from fall prices, but more were Of
fered. While al-nylon construc-
tions were available, it was believed
in the trade that later there would
be switch to nylons with rayon or
cotton tops to conserve the limited
supply Of nylon yarn.
Lisle stockings also appeared, one
type woven from English-spun
Egyptian cotton.
Textile Markets Quiet.
Another holiday left its mark in
textile markets this week. Activity
in all divisions was light. giving
further opportunity to study new
conditions created by the ever
tightening Government control OF
supplies.
Top ranking was given the o. p.
M. announcement drastically re-
stricting the usage to which new
wool can be put in the first 1912
quarter.
Under this latest dictum civilian
users will have supplies cut to so
per cent of the amount available
in the first quarter of 1941. Rapid
readjustmentS and calculating were
the order of the day in the woolen
piece goods where buyers resorted
to picking up anything in the way
of wool goods they could get their
hands on.
Military Needs Studied.
Probable Government needs in the
coming months occupied most at
tention in Worth Street, where
there was an urgent demand for
heavy goods suited to the manufac-
ture of bags.
Very little business from civilian
quarters was accepted owing to fears
that if the Government needs were
not readily accommodated, rigid
control of the manufacturing ma
chinery would be resorted to.
There was little business in rayon
goods as the trade awaited the
opening of spring lines.

Leon Henderson.
The schedule provides that maxi
mum prices for stoves must not be
more than IL per cent above the
lowest figure quoted by manufac-
turers between January l and June
! of 194l.
Henderson said the ceiling was
necessary to prevent possible in
f1ation resulting from q recent

ton Of new stoves during the first

manufacturers not to reduce the

Market Closes
Best Week in
Two Years
Advances Of Fractions
To Around 81 q

BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,

BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,
Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The stock
market today ended its best week in
more than two years with a wide as
sortment of advances ranging from
fractions to around 2 points.
The list continued to operate
without the benefit of much good
news and brokers credited the ris-
ing trend mainly to the reinstate-
ment of commitments by sold-out
shareholders who had liquidated
their holdings at the year end in
order to establish sizable losses for
income tax purposes.
Battle bulletins from the Philip
pines and Far East were far from
bullish. but bidders, for the most
part, ignored these, as well as fears
OF mounting taxes and spreading
governmental controls over industry.
Average Again Rises.
The Associated Press average Of
go stocks added 0.5 Of point at 1885,
to Fridays run-up Of 90, and on
the week showed a net gain Of %
points, widest for any week since
mid d-September, 1899. While the
turnover Of 516,84O shares compared
with 1,162,ll0 last Saturday, it was
larger than most short sessions of
1941. The market was unusually
broad for a week ender, 698 indi-
vidual issues being traded. OF
these, 533 were up, Sc down and 100
unchanged.
Prominent on the forward tilt to-
day were American Telephone
Union Pacific. Woolworth, j. C.
Penney, Westinghouse, Owens-Illi-
nois, Douglas Aircraft, j. I. Case,
Montgomery Ward, Sears Roebuck,
Chrysfer, Western Union, Fajardo
Sugar, South Puerto Rico Sugar
and Loew's.
Steels, oils, rubbers and coppers
were narrowly mixed. Bethlehem
was of a shade, as were Standard
OIL IN. JD, Anaconda and Kenne-
| colt.
Further strength Of agricultural
commodities provided a prop for
securities. Staples still were aided
by the expectation they would be
favored in price control legislation
now being framed. At Chicago
wheat was up l to IA cents q
bushel, corn ahead 4 to "a and
hogs steady. Cotton advanced 40
to go cents a bale. Rail loans led
another push in the bond depart
ment.
