Corporate LIST Gets
Boost From Utilities;
Federal Issues Ease
By Arthur Merims
AsSocioted Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. Utilities
continued to push the corporate
bond market upward this week.
But Government bonds eased
slightly under the Treasury'S
latest financing.
Demand for high-grade issues.
particularly utilities, provided
firm tone in the corporate list.
Though railroads and industrials
also tended to rise, profit-taking
in these groups was evident dur
ing each session. Convertible
obligations followed the stock
market upward.
The Governments new inter-
mediate 234s, trading on
"when-iSsued" basis, established
a peak of 101 bid on Monday.
BY the close Friday, they had
dipped to 100 1882 bid, still up
1882 from the previous Friday
finish. The Government an
nounced subscriptions of $12.5
billion for the $2.2 billion issue,
indicating surplus of invest
ment money available in the
economy.
Other Treasury bonds did not
fare so we'll this week. The 30
year BIAS lost 6/32 at 1O3 "a 80
bid. Victory loan 21as of 1867
1912 were down 4/32 at 95 1882
bid. And the 23ss of 1858
slipped 2/32 at SO 1882 bid.
Foreign liens were fairly quiet.
japanese. Italian and Greek dol
lar bonds worked forward and
back with little net result. Some
South American obligations i'm
proved, especially those of Costa
Rica and Chile.
For the third time in five
weeks, finance companies reduced
the interest rate they pay to
those who lend them funds via
commercial paper. This time,
the rates dipped to 2-23s per
cent from 21s-212 per cent for
30-day-to-n o-nine-month notes.
Earlier this year, these same
firms increased their rates three
times.

Higher inventories,
Tagging Sales Shave
Prices, Cut Output
By Walter Breede, Jr.
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. THE
boom lost a little more of its
zoom this week. Confronted
with mounting inventories and
tagging sales, manufacturers in
some key lines resorted to cut
backs and price reductions.
The Detroit motor boom final
ly started slowing down as the
big three of the industry-Gen-
eral Motors. Ford and Chrysler
applied the brakes.
Other Signs Cited.
Other signs of declining ac-
tivity:
Business failures were more
numerous than at any time since
early in 1850. =
Scheduled steel output fell to
92.9 per cent of capacity. A week
earlier the actual operating rate
had been 94.6. Freight car load
ingS and paperboard output
drifted lower.
One major exception was re-
tail trade. Merchants felt, how
ever, that the pickup was long
overdue. Mostly they credited
the rise in sales to the belated
arrival of seaSonably cool
weather.
Results of the elections were
expected to encourage more
receptive attitude by the admin
lStration toward mildly inf1a-
tlonary credit management pol
1cles and high farm price sup
ports.
Auto Production Dips.
Auto production for the week
was estimated at 117,573 cars
and trucks against 125,776 the
week before-a dip of S per cent.
Manufacturers of television
sets were also having overpro-
duction troubles. LayoffS of TV
assembly line workers were re-
ported by General Electric Co.,
RCA, Raytheon and Crosley.
Some of the TV makers cited in
ventory buildupS, slow sales and
"abnormally high" production.
Total unemployment in the
Nation as measured by official
United States reporting agencies
was still just a shade above the
peacetime low.

Two Million in Java

BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, April 3.-The
New York Times, in a dispatch
from Jakarta. Indonesia, said
today that two million persons in
Central Java are endangered by
the activity of Merapi Volcano.
Reports from Central Java
said there is a lava stream along
the northern ridge reaching a
width of so feet. Dispatches
from Surakarta, on the east
ward slopes of Merapi, said
rumbling noises could be heard
and that lava streams are de-
veloping rapidly on the eastern
and western slopes.
The dispatch said DR.. G. De
Neve, chief of the Indonesian
Meteorological Service, described
the situation as very serious. He
said many persons within the
danger area had failed to real
ize this.
He described Merapi-Which

Jogjakarta, the former In
donesian revolutionary capital
as one Of the dreaded volcanoes
of the world because of its

He said that during eruptions
in 1880 and 1881 these clouds
claimed a high toll of victims
because the extreme heat in the
clouds exploded in the lungs of
persons within the area.
Dispatches from Serang, on
the tip of western Java, reported
continued activity in the Kra-
katau volcano complex. The
times also said that reports were
that the island of Lombok, be-
