:, Contracts from October, forward on

when 1t went of the board on Wednes-

Selling in nearby July was prompted
by heavy Withdrawals Of cotton, from
the Government loan. Meanwhile. on
the bullish side. the Improvement in
the new crop months was attributed to
a higher. volume Of export sales and
cold weather in portions of the cotton
belt. Low temperatures necessitated
some .replantins particularly in Arkan-

u. 5. Bonds Continue
Drop During Week.;
Corporates Irregular
BY Arthur Merims
Asseeiossd Press Finoneiol Writer

NEW YORK. May 15.-Gov-
ernment securities continued a
decline begun a fortnight ago
while the corporate bond mar
ket this week drifted aimlesSly
Dealers of Treasury bonds re-
ported much switching by banks
from intermediate and long
term issues into the new 1%
per cent f1ve-year note. This "di-
gestion" of 50 billion of new
obligations partially accounted
for the general decline.
Another factor was the an
nouncement by a Treasury off,
cial that the Government will
renew its efforts to lengthen the
maturity of the national debt
during the second half Of 1854
while at the same time greatly
increasing that debt.
The Treasury's 21as of 1861
lost 22/32 this week at 102 bid.
The 23zs of 1861 were down
24/32 at 103 20/32 bid. Victory
21as and bank-eligible 21as of
1967-72 slipped 1882 at 80 1882
bid. The 30-year 3As declined
4/32 at 100 20/32 bid and the
new Ia per cent notes ended
off 1892 at 100 1892 bid.
Corporate activity was highly
selective. Weekly volume declined
to $16,999,500 par value from
$18,371,50O the preceding five
days. Most actively traded bonds
were Third Avenue SIS up 23s
points at % on sales of $1,038, 900
par value.
German, Greek and Japanese
dollar bonds were generally low
er. Berlin city IS fell seven
points at IS and Tokyo Electric
Light stamped 6s were of ~
at 831s. Peruvian liens climbed.
Colombian and Italian bonds
were mixed.

count was 23.2 per cent above
February and a rise of 8.9 per
cent over March, 1853.
In the first three months Of
this year. an eye-stopping 28,590
new businesses were incorpo-
rated. This was the highest for
the three-month period since
1947.
What does it mean? To us as
individuals, and us as a Nation
1t means that despite the
1854 recession the country is
still vigorous, still growing at a
powerful pace.
There are more than AZ mil
lion firms of all types in our
land today, the highest total
ever and almost a million above
the total of firms in existence
at wars end, the Commerce De-
partment estimates.
It means that even though
some of our basic industries are
dominated by a few giant cor
porationS, we still are a Nation
of many little firms. Our giants
are surrounded by small stores

Business indicators
Show Modest Upturn
In Some Major Lines
By Walter Breede, JT.
Assoeioted Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, May 15.-Signs
pointed to a modest upturn this
week in several major lines Of
business.
Improvement was noted in
sales Of farm machinery. new
and used automobiles and un-
finished cotton textiles. Dollar
volume of retail trade inched
ahead and the 1854 construction
pace continued. F. w. Dodge
Corp. said contracts awarded in
April in 81 Eastern States were
up II per cent from March and
within 8 per cent Of the all
time April record last year.
While steel production has
been a little higher than ex-
pected in the past two weeks,
the big spring pickup has not
materialiZed. Men like T. M.
Girdler, chairman of Republic
Steel Corp. are talking now
about an upturn in the fall.
With union contract bargain
ing scheduled to start on Tues
day. some consumers are ex-
pected to increase their buying
as hedge against a possible
strike. Steel production in the
week ended May 9 was the best
since early March.
Automobile production was
pretty much dependent on De-
troit's big three" companies
which accounted for SO per cent
of the weeks output of 142,179
cars and trucks.
Despite cold and rainy weather
In many areas, department and
other retail stores achieved q
small advance in volume, al
though sales continued slightly
below the level Of q year ago.
Biggest gains from the previous
week were scored by outlying
shopping centers.
A Commerce Department flash
report" showed April retail vol
ume up 8 per cent from March.
