Production Increases
But Consumer Debt
Is Causing Concern
By Walter Bussewitz
AsSoeiofed Press Businesx Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-ReportS
from most SegmentS of business
and industry for the first week
of August made pleasant read
ing, but new figures on record
inventories and mounting con-
Sumer debt caused concern in
some quarters.
Industrial production rose this
week as activity in many lines
recovered from the vacation dol
drums. Steel output climbed
more than 4 percentage points.
Electric power production set
an all-time high for the second
straight week. Increasing con-
sumption for air conditioning
and refrigeration helped boost
the summer load.
Vacation spending was a factor
as money in circulation increased
sos million during the week.
Retail trade showed a slight
gain. with special promotions
attracting many shoppers. Dun
& BradStreet said clearance sales
of seasonal goods were more
common than in recent weeks.
Civil engineering construction
volume advanced 10 per cent this
week and heavy engineering con-
tracts for the year to date re-
manned ahead of 1952-the rec
ord year.
Passenger car output dropped
to 1899 from 131,879 last
week. Several plants were closed
for inventory or retooling for
new models.
The 4-millionth automobile of
1858 will come off the assembly
line of some United States plant
next week.
In the remaining AZ months,
the industry expects to build 2
million more cars and make 1858
its second biggest production
year.
There has been some dispute
as to whether there is a market
for 6 million cars this year.
The president of Studebaker
Corp, H. S. Vance, declared this
week the industry can sell that
many automobiles if statesmen
use pre-war initiative" Spokes-
men for some finance companies
said they could not see a market
for SIS million cars, let alone
6 million.
The automobile picture is tied
In closely with the matter of
consumer credit, which includes
installment credit, charge ac-
counts and personal loans. Con-
sumner debt advanced to a new
peak of SGT billion in June. an
increase of $4.6 billion in IL
months, according to the Federal
Reserve Board.

Brisk Demand Grows
For U. 5. Bonds; Rails
Help Spark Market
By Arthur Merims
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Brisk
and persistent demand for
United States Government bonds
developed this week end and the
Treasury's recently issued long
term 3AS climbed to a record
high. High-grade railroads and
utilities also spanked the corpo-
rate bond market to higher
ground.
With new financing activity in
a traditional summer slump, in
vestors turned increasingly to
outstanding issues, especially
those Of established high caliber.
Also, the effect Of the Federal
Reserves action in lowering
member bank reserve require
ments last month is still being
felt. Not only is investment
money more plentiful these days,
in many parts of the country it
painfully overshadows the avail
able supply of investment op-
portunities. 1t must be noted,
however, that investment capital
is not so plentiful as to force
interest rates to decline.
Treasury Secretary Humphrey
this week offered holders of
nearly SO billion of maturing 2
per cent certificates a new one
year note bearing 25s per cent
interest. This is the highest rate
Uncle Sam has paid to rent
money for a year in about two
decades. Some Wall Streeters OBJ
served that Treasury borrowing
rates usually establish a floor for
interest rates throughout the
economy.
The Governments 30-year
3As climbed % of a point this
week to 100 1882 bid, highest
quotation in its 16-week history.
They are now priced to yield 3.21
per cent interest. Long-term Vic
tory 21as rose 1892 at 80 30/32
bid and the bank-eligible 212s of
1967-72 advanced a quarter of a
point at 80 26/32 bid. Intermedi-
ates were fairly steady. The
