September Output Gains
Best Since Last October
By the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Septem-
Der showed the best increases in
production since last October. the
National Association of Purchas-
ing Agents has reported.
Fully so per cent of the COM
panies reporting to the Business
Survey Committee Of the asso-
citation indicated increases in
production schedules. against only
10 per cent showing declines.
Purchasing agents opinions
could be rated as optimistic. the
committee said. "were it not for
the shadows of gloom cast over
the general business picture by
present strikes and the possibility
of others"
Here are some findings Of the
committee for September:
New orders continued to ad-
vance at the August rate; prices
firmed for the second consecu-
tive month; inventories were re-
duced further; turnovers i'm
proved: employment was up,
although it Jagged behind pro-
duction increases.
while. foreign currency de-
valuations have caused some pes
simistic speculation" the report
said, "the predominant belief is
that it is too early to determine
the probable effect on business
and prices"
Most of the prices taking an
upward trend in September, it
noted, were rejecting recent
freight increases. Several re-
ports indicated that increased
sales volume was yielding lower
profits.
Industrial commodity items re-
ported in tight supply were
aluminium, brass mill products
burlap. pipe and some steel items

New Car Sales Slip,
But Auto Executives
Remain Optimistic
By Dovid J. WiIkie

DETROIT, Oct. 3.-New car
sales are tapering off but the
auto makers still are optimistic
about the months ahead
Perhaps it might be said there
never was an auto manufacturer
who wasn't optimistic.
Most of the passenger Car
builders continue to claim that
demand exceeds supply. The re-
mark has become almost common
place among the industry heads
that "our dealers have only
seven-days' supply of cars"
Or you can hear that the size
of the field stock-the unsold
vehicles in dealers hands or en-
route from the factorehas been
greatly exaggerated.
But In nine. months this year
the factories have assembled more
passenger cars than they built in
all Of 1948. This years nine
months total comes to about
$3.50. .000.-s In all of last year
the turnout was s.sos.27o pas
senger units.
New Orders Tighten Up.
This years output has absorbed
a lot of demand. The car makers
know this. Those whose output
is only seven days ahead of de-
mand - if there really are any
such-feel it in tightening UP of
new orders. Others feel it in
piling up Of unsold cars.
OF course there is an accumula-
tion Of unsold new cars. Exact
figures on the number aren't
available. but authoritative esti-
mates place today's total at more
than 100000 units.
That isn't the spread between
this years production and record
sales. It includes a couple of hun
dred thousand vehicles that were
on hand last January /.
When the final sales figures for
August of this year are computed
they probably will show total in
excess Of 100000. Perhaps that
would seem to justify lot of
optimism. But unofficial surveys
show the September total will be
substantially below the August
figures.
How large the field stock of un-
sold units will be at this years end
will depend to a great degree upon
the sales effort put forth by the
merchandising division. But unless
there are protracted shutdowns at
the factories the total will be con-
siderably higher than it. is today.
Dealer Profits Reduced.
All this isn't intended to draw
too pessimistic a picture of the
car industry's outlook. There isn't
any reason for pessimism. But
there is reason for appraising the
situation realistically.
Scores of dealers, on the
strength of lush profits earlier in
the postwar period, have invested
heavily in new buildings. sales
rooms and service units. Perhaps
mostly these have been paid for
out of the earlier profits.
But in many instances dealer
profits are going down. New-car
dealers are trading high-offering
high trade-in allowances to ia
cilitate new-car sales. That means
they have considerable money
tied up in used cars. To cash in
on these vehicles they often have
to wholesale them to used-car
dealers at considerably less than
they allowed for them.
Many phases Of this situation
are typically seasonal. Sales
usually fall off after Labor Day;
they usually remain at lower levels
through the winter months.
Production scheduling during
the next three months will dis
close much about the industry's
situation. It should show espe-
cially which producers have more
than normal field stocks and
which have only a seven days
