Cotton Textile Trade
Slows Before First
1947 Crop Forecast
By ths Assceloted Press

NEW YORK, Aug. s.-Business
quieted down in the cotton textile
market during the past week while
buyers and sellers waited for the
Department of Agriculture's first
1947 cotton crop forecast.
In, announcing an estimate OF II,
GA, 1000 bales Friday. spokesmen for
the Agriculture Department said
the crop should be more than ample
to cover expected domestic needs
and export requirements of between
8,500,000 and 100000 bales.
. Scattered sales Of print cloths and
sheetings during the week were at
prices unchanged except for some
shading on the popular 80-square
print cloths which led the recent
sharp advance.
More interest developed in heavy
duck and tent. twills for the fourth
quarter. This slow section of the
market, however, ran into more

ings and higher prices for spring
lines of woSted goods set by some
leading mills were high lights Of the
week in the wool goods market.
Merchants felt those developments
would sustain high prices in wool
goods and it was expected that wool
ems might gain some competitive
favor in relation to worsteds since
demand for the woolens has been
less keen and prices have been rel
atively unchanged. Mill allotments
for spring are expected to be smaller
than q year ago.
Some garment manufacturers were
reported as saying they had con-
tracted for spring worsteds at prices
10 per cent above those of last
spring.

DETROIT, Aug. 9.-The Nations
automobile industry currently is
filling orders that were placed as
much as year ago and most Of
today's new orders will not be
cleared off the retailers books until
midsummer of 1948.
But getting an order on a dealers
books has become a problem in it.
self for the average individual; most
dealers, despairing of catching up
with their waiting lists are discour-
aging would-be new car buyers or
fatty refusing to take additional
orders.
There are many among the in
dustry's top level executives who be-
lieve the situation, especially in the
popular price classification, will be
little different five years from now.
That's what, nearly four years of
war and its aftermath did to the
Nations peacetime automobile
transportation. From February 10,
1912, until June i, 1945, no peace
time passenger automobiles were
made. Since the wars end the car
factories have turned out about A.
250.000 passenger units.
Efforts to estimate the number Of
untitled orders now on hand involve
considerable guess-work as to how
many are Implications and how
many might be classed as "uncer-
tain" because Of price considera-
tions.
But this is certain: The suspen-
sion of passenger automobile pro-
duction during the war cut at least
100000 cars from the supply of
peacetime transportation. To these
may be added another 4,000, 900, the
number of cars by which the indus
try fell short Of that total that
should have been produced since
VI Day.
The number of untitled orders
upon which dealers have accepted
deposits currently is estimated at
around 100000.

Leasing Oyster Beds
To Industry Proposed
To Legislative Group
By jones Birehfield
Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 20.-The
Chesapeake Bay and Tributaries
Committees of the Senate and
House had for study today pro-
posal by the Tdewater Fisheries
Commission for leasing bay oyster
beds to private enterprise as a
means of saving the industry from
extinction.
The lease plan was one of two
proposals to reclaim the Maryland
oyster business explained to the
joint committees yesterday by Ed
win Warfield, jr., commission chair
man, during a cruise down the bay
on the yacht Potomac.
Under the second plan, the State
would attempt a conservative pro-
gram of oyster replanting covering
a 25-year span and costing approx
mately 100000.
Would Continue Planting.
A third plan would be for the
commission to continue planting a
few beds each year, as it now does,
in a feeble" attempt to prevent
extinction of Maryland's oyster re-
sources.
The lease plan Immediately drew
opposition from committee members,
who said the arrangement would
place the bay in the hands of "big
business" and would eventually
ruin" the tongers who work the
bay tributaries.
Mr.. Warf1eld, who said he had
come to the committees for counsel
on ways to prevent the loss of one
of the States most vital assets, said
his group had given careful study
to the plan and believed legislation
could be worked out to protect in
dividual oyster dredgers and pre-
vent "big business" from taking
over the bay"
Suggests Co-operatives.
Mr.. Warfleld said he believed CO.
operatives, similar to farmer groups,
might be formed to help finance
individual replanting of the oyster
beds. He said he saw little differ
ence in farming under water and
on dry land.
Delegate Wells w. Todd of Cris-
field said the plan would play into
the hands of the large seafood in
terests, would destroy the indie
pendence of the individual dredgers
and would destroy the markets for
the tongers. He said he felt it
would be better to continue under
the present free fishing plan.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 20.-A bill to
