First Faint Strings
OF Seasonal Pickup
Clearly Discernib|e
By Wolter Breede, Jr.
Associosed Press BUSINESS Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-Faint
STRINGS of a seasonal pickup
were clearly discernible on the
Nations business scene this
week.
Steel production started pull
Ing out of its long summer
slump.
Business loans by leading New
York banks moved sharply
higher - the first gain in five
weeks.
Check clearings swelled in
volume: the number of new
claims for unemployment insur-
ance declined. There were en-
couraging predictions from
makers of furniture. TV sets,
automobiles and heavy electrical
equipment. Volume of applica-
tions for CT mortgage loans was
just below the all-time record.
Still sluggish were such vital
sectors of the economy as Pc
troleum production, auto output
and rail freight traffic.
&. The lag in auto manufacture
ing was expected to continue for
about three or four weeks.
Spokesman said it would take
the industry that long to get
into production of 1855 models.
Retail trade which had bounded
ahead, the previous week, de-
clined slightly. Market analysts
blamed the weather-cold and
rainy in the East, uncomfortably
warm in some Western regions.
There was some grousing
among merchants at reports that
customers were putting record
sums of cash into savings &C
counts and Government bonds.
Be that as it may, 1854 was
shaping up as still another rec
ord retail year.

Federal Bonds Firm,

Display Weakness
BY Arthur Merims
Associated Press FinoneioI Write,

NEW YORK, Sept. l8.-Gov-
ernment bonds ended on q
firm note this week while invest
ment quality industrials and
utilities tended to pull the cor
porate bond market lower.
Significantly in the background
of bond market activities was the
vast amount Of new financing
expected before Christmas.
Treasury officials were report
ed holding private conferences
with members of the business
and financial community, dis
cussing methods to raise new
cash. Congress recently per-
mitted the administration to bor-
row an additional So billion over
the $275 billion national debt.
Early in the week rumors in
Wall Street regarding those
Washington talks pointed to the
issuance of an intermediate or
long-term bond. These rumors
sent prices of Government secu-
rites slipping.
But by midweek the financial
district whispered that tax
anticipation certificates or pos
sibly a note maturing in less
than five years would be the
Treasury's Embarrassing instru-
ment. Thereafter more distantly
maturing Government bonds
firmed.
The Treasury,s 30-year 3hs
ended the week unchanged at
110A bid. Victory and bank
eligible 212s of 1967-72 advanced
2/32 at 100 bid. And the 2as of
