U. 5. aid Corporate
BondsClimb Sharply;
Reich Issues Traded
BY Arthur Merims
u
: Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Gov-
ernment and corporate. bond
prices climbed sharply this week.
And German dollar bonds
changed hands for the first time
since Pearl Harbor and found
solid support.
. Long-term Treasury bonds set
1953-54 peaks while United
States intermediate and short
term debt certificates held firm.
The 30-year 31as rose half a
point over the week at 1O6 2/32
bid. Victory Loan 21as of 1867
u were UP 26/32 at 81 1882 bid
and the 234s of 1861 advanced
6/32 at 102 20/32 bid.
Utilities led the corporate list
higher. But medium priced rail-
roads were also in demand and
quality industrials improved.
Volume on the "big board"
jumped to $26, ,728, 800 par value
this week against $16,65O, 900 last
week.
Heavy trading in German dol
lar bonds helped increase VOL
ume. After a 12-year absence,
the Reich issues were admitted
to the New York Stock Exchange
on Tuesday. Original Dawes Is
opened at 821s and finished the
week at 8834. The old Young
5l2s due 1865 began at 1914 and
ended at 8034. Greek bonds also
made progress. japanese issues
f1uctuated narrowly. Other for
eign liens were calm.
Bankers are concerned over
the decline in business loans.
The Federal Reserve reported
that business loans declined a
record $438 million at member
banks during the week ended
January 6. Yesterday, Allied
Chemical & Dye Corp. an
nounced it will repay a $50 mil
lion loan to group of banks
next week. The loan was not
due until August. 1855.
Other companies are also cur
failing their debts. Business
loans by New York City banks
dipped another $32 million in
the week ended January 13. The
previous week. local loans fell q
record 1921 million.

Scattered New Signs
OF Easing Business
Activity Are Noted
RY the Asseciated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Scat-
tered new signs of an easing in
business activity were noted this
week, but the average American
businessman Steadfastly refused
to be depressed.
There were, in. fact, develop
ments here and there that tended
to support the confident views
being expressed by the majority
of business leaders:
New plant investment is eX-
pected to reach a record for the
quarter at $6.5 billion dollars.
Retail sales are good-the Ma
tons department stores did z
per cent more business last week
than they did year earlier.
Second Wage Rates.
Wage rates are at record levels.
And there's an awful lot of
money in American savings ac-
counts.
Counter balancing these fac
tors were cutbacks in some key
industries and further layoffs in
others. However, even where the
outlook was poor, it could hardly
be called black.
The most tangible evidence
that business is slipping from it's
high plateau was provided in
new layof announcements. Pack
ard Motor Car Co. announced it
will close down auto assembly
operations on Monday for a week
and furlough about $500 work.
ers. 1t blamed a parts shortage.
The Aluminium Co. of America
said it has laid off $50 men in
the last six weeks Ito meet
changing economic conditions in
the aluminium industry"
Pennsy Drops 600.
The Pennsylvania Railroad an
nounced that 900 to TOO heavy
repair workers will be furlougted
because of a continued drop in
business. In the ailing rayon
yarn industry, American Viscose
Corp. laid off $50. Chance
Vought Aircraft at Dallas said it
planned to drop 1000 employees
Immediately and another 1000
later because of a cut back in jet
fighter production.
A note of warning was struck
by Harold B. Dorsey. head of the
Argus Research Corp. of New
York. He said many executives
are overly complacent about the
business outlook, assuming that
prices of their own products will
maintain present high levels de-
spite ample evidence of over
supply.

THERE IS A safety suggestion to

An old river man advises that if waders
would always walk upstream and not
down they will not be so likely sudden

ton of running water on the bed of a
stream is much the same as wind
blowing snow into drifts, leaving hol-
