Federal Bonds Decline
In Week, With Some
Losing 7-S Of Point
By D. A. Willioms
Associated Press Finonciol Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Gov-
eminent bonds declined this week
with losses running as much as
7s of a point.
The showing for the Govern
ments was the worst in any one
week since an upswing started in
late June from lows touched in
the decline set off by the removal
of fixed price pegs by the Federal
Reserve Board in March.
The largest losers were the re-
stricted issues-bonds ineligible
for purchase by commercial banks
Seven dropped below the SO bid
level-more than two points be-
low par 1000.
Dealers said activity for the
most part was light and the price
changes reflected lack of de-
mand rather than excessive sup
ply of offerings. Financial circles
said investors were hesitant about
moving into the Government bond
market pending final decision by
Congress on terms of the new tax
bill.
Meanwhile, corporates were
slightly on the downside in an
other week of dull trading as the
summer f1ve-day session came to
a close.
Par value of sales for the week
totaled $13, 100000. compared with
$14,243,000 last week.

Stock Market Passes
Third-Quater Mark
Close to21-Year Hiqh
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 29.-The
stock market is passing the three
quarter mark of 1851 with average
prices still close to 21-year high.
Some ground was lost in listless
trading this week. But the move
ment had no decisiveness to it.
When the exchange wound up
its summer closing schedule and
prepared to resume the 512 day
program with Saturday session
added next week, stock prices were
within striking distance of the
years average high.
Trading patterns of the week,
however, gave little indication
whether they might surmount
that high in the near future or
whether a corrective movement
may be getting under way to cut
sharply into the markets recent
gains.
A. P. Average Declines.
The 21-year high for the Asso-
ciated Press 60-stock average was
established at $100.60 on Septem-
Der 20. From a point 80 cents
below that at the start of this
weeks dealings, it declined to
$3.50, at the close on Friday, fall
ing in four of the five sessions.
Whether the selling came from
10 nfNtiniYNo finY1 nf
further declines, it was of a
skinny character and was alb
sorbed without great difficulty.
Only on Thursday did an appre-
ciable speeding up of trading ac-
company a price spill, and even
then it didn't get out of hand.
Prices steadied at the lower level.
In view of the slow nature of
the weeks dealings-only 1885,
600 shares changed hands COM
pared with 10.179,780 in the pre-
ceding Week-some market OBJ
servers said there had been no
real attempt to test the level at
which new buying would come in
to support prices.
Rails Drift Lower.
While the rails, which some
followers regard as critical indi-
Gators of the probable course of
the market, drifted lower, they
avoided any runaway decline.
But strong support likewise
failed to concentrate behind any
particular section of the market.
Spurts for individual issues were
the rule.
Three of the five most active
stocks on the exchange were rail-
road issues. Pennsylvania Rail
road topped the list, up Is at
1894; New York Central was sec
ond, down "a at 1924. and Balti-
more & Ohio fifth, off % at

Industry Holds Pace
Despite Shortages
And Labor Troubles
By Richard Fiske
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Labo1
troubles, material shortages ano
slow consumer buying harassec
business and industry this week
but overall production remained
high.
Walkouts threatened more thar
a billion dollars in defense pro-
duction. Material shortages re-
suited in layoffs in metal-using
industries. Slow consumer buying
brought idleness to textile centers
Defense orders and plant ex-
pansion in many industries, how
ever. sent overall industrial and
financial figures to record of neal
record heights.
The dark spots in the economic
picture included labor troubles in
varying industries in scattered
sections.
More than $4,000 aircraft, rubber
and oil workers were affected in
key New Jersey defense plants
A maritime strike threatened.
Material shortages were hitting
an increasing number of indus
tries.
The Pratt and Whitney aircraft
assembly floor at East Hartford,
Conn.,, was down to a two and
one-half day week because OF
parts shortages.
Many of the larger automobile
manufacturers planned temporary
closingS for inventory.
Lack of consumer buying
brought idleness to some of the
large textile centers.
Jacob Potofsky. president OF
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers of America, told President
Truman there was a great deal of
unemployment in the clothing in
dustry because people aren't buy
ing as expected.
The recovery from the summer
lull was not coming as swiftly as
many expected but economists
said this week that recent soft
spots should be about terminated.
They took the view that the up
turn during the remainder of the
year would not be pronounced.
But. they added. it probably at
least will be seasonal in proper
lions and in some cases a little
better.

New'York Cotton

NEW YORK. Sept. 80 0P.-The cotton
market was active and nervous today. A
late covering movement, however. caused
prices for the entire list to move to or
above Fridays closings with final prices
8 cents bale lower to 81. cents higher.
On or shortly after the opening the
market was called on to absorb heavy
volume of profit taking and hedging. This
was a carryover of selling which was in
progress on Friday. and caused prices to
morning selling dried UP and a reappear-
ance Of trade buying and commission
house demand found q darth Of offerings
and the rally was started.
Traders said that the setback on Fri
day presumably resulted in a halt in
farmer offerings Of spot cotton and
this was partially responsible for the
late buying movement today.
Traders had additional news Of large
volume of cotton going into the Govern
ment loan During :he week ended Sep
TENDER 20 official figures revealed that
loan entries were up sharply and traders
vey will show further large impounoing.

more than 100 old automobiles at

the carriage trade.
Today's influx of gentlemen

The tour started yesterday from
Schenley Park, Pittsburgh. The
assemblage of the old cars brought
a sizeable crowd of early Sunday
strollers to the hill top on Fifth

They were all "oh" and "ahs'
