u. 5. Bonds FIuctuaie
Widely in Week as
|Corporates Drift Down
By Arthur Merims
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK. May 81. - The
corporate bond market took a back
seat to over-the-countef trading
lin United States Government
bonds this week as the Treasury
Department completed its latest
borrowing in the money market.
While corporate bonds drifted
lower in holidays shortened week.
Government issues fluctuated
widely. Corporate bond traders
awaited Supreme Court decision
that would affect the steel-wage
dispute. Consequently. investors
made few commitments, price
changes were narrow, and bond
sales never approached the So mil
lion par value level on any day.
Short-term Treasury bonds were
steady this week, but the long
termers spent the first two trad
ing days dipping sharply and final
days regaining lost ground.
Books closed Thursday on the
new 2A per cent non-marketable
bond which the treasury initiated
to raise about SIS billion of new"
money, The new issue could be
purchased in exchange for one of
the long-term restricted 21as plus
rs per cent cash.
An informed source estimated
the Treasury will fall far short of
it's original goal of raising SIS bill
lion in the operation. The best
guess in bond circles at the mo-
ment is that the Government will
gather in a little more than half
billion additional dollars.
Foreign liens were quiet this
week. Brazilian issues climbed as
that country continues to reduce
its outstanding dollar debt. Japa-
nese bonds were neglected.

Labor Picture Improves.

A million men were involved in
strikes that started last month, in
cluding the three-day steel walk
out. The Labor Department said
the only month exceeding this was
January, 1916, when 100000
were idled.
The labor picture frightened
considerably during the week as
additional agreements were signed
in the oil industry.
The point was reached where
the Government ordered the bans
off air travel, effective Tuesday
morning.
Looking back to last month, the
Commerce Department said there
continued signs of a slight pickup
in business in April.
Cash dividend payments by cor
porations in April were reported
2 per cent above April, 1851.
And for the first four months, the
department said dividends showed
a per cent increase over a year
ago.
Seasonal Rise Seen.
Private sources saw a mild sea-
sonal rise in retail trade this week.
Dun & Bradstreet, the business
reporting service, said most mer-
chants said their receipts about
equaled those of a year ago.
Many merchants, especially
those selling automobiles and ap-
pliances, said the stimulating
effect of the lifting Of credit curbs
was more in evidence than it has
been.
But 1t was taking aggressive
promotion, extended shopping
hours. and easier credit terms to
spur the shoppers interest.
One storekeeper said too much
OF the volume is due to promotions,
markdoWnS or special sales. He
added he wsan't making enough
on these sales to compensate for
higher overhead.

NEW YORK. May 31.-Fore-
casts Of better business ahead per-
sisted this week. But the fore
casters said competition is getting
keener.
It's going to take hard work and
aggressive selling to capture the
consumers dollar, they added.
Manufacturing plants rolled out
their goods at a better rate than
the totals for the holiday-short-
ened week indicated.
For some industries the figures
were a week behind and the Me
mortal Day break left an unfair
