New York Cotton

NEW YORK. June 10N.-Uncertaint
over Government policy on farm price
supports had . mildly depressing effect
this week on the cotton futures market.
With the exception Of nearby July, all
contracts were down from the levels Of
the previous week. Closing prices on
the New York Cotton Exchange ranged
from 10 cents q bale higher for the
spot month (July) to $1.45 bale lower
for distant october.
Nearby contracts were aided by price
fixing and short covering, while the spot
month showed the effects of switching
of shorts into more distant deliveries.
Combining with the price support
question to discourage active buying in
the new crop months were reports OF
continued good weather in the cotton
belt and of declining cotton consumption,

in May averaged $4,000 bales against
81, 900 in April and 81, 900 in May a
year ago. Use for the first 10 months
of the current season came to only
7.257.000 bales vs.. 7,941.OOO 0 year
Exports for the week ended Tuesday
amounted to $4,000 bales compared with

Few Markets GIuited
By Walter Breede. Jr.
Assoeiotsd Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, June 19.-Three
basic business indicators pointed
upward this week.
Mine and factory output
moved higher for the first time
in 10 months. Stock prices
surged to new 25-year highs.
Figures on construction activity
set new records.
The week also turned up new
evidence of glutted markets
particularly in automobiles,
petroleum and textiles.
Other economic signpoSts:
Retail trade inched ahead, hut
continued from 2 to 6 per cent
below year-ago levels.
Electric power output was the
largest in four months; freight
carloadings-heaviest since No
vember-were up IA per cent
from the previous week but
nearly Is per cent below last
year.
Steel production was scheduled
at 1875 per cent Of capacity
highest operating rate since
February. There were hints
that U. S. Steel Corp. and the
CLIO might soon come to 'erms
on a trend-setting wage agree
ment calling for an increase in
workers pay. Steel customers
were expected 10 balk at any
resultant rise in prices.
There was no sign OF a slump
in the construction business, F.
w. Dodge Corp. reported.
Inventory problems persisted
In some lines. There were re-
ports from Detroit that finance
companies were putting pressure
on the big auto makers to bring
their production into line with
dealer sales.
The continuing slump in iron
ore, coal and grain production
showed up in statistics made
public by the Lake Carriers

|Corporates Advance
On Rails Strength;
u. 5. Bonds Also Firm
By Arthur MeFims
Assoeiosed Press Finoneiol Wriaor

NEW YORK, June 19.-Rail-
roads pulled the corporate bond
market upward this week. Gov
eminent securities also were In
demand.
The end Of the bitter proxy
fight for control Of the New York
Central Railroad produced q
furry of speculative interest in
the carriers bonds. Other road
obligations trading below par
value, such as Baltimore & Ohio,
New Haven and Pennsylvania,
began changing hands quickly
and at higher prices. too.
Investment quality industrials
also participated in the advance.
But most utilities, competing
with q large amount Of new util-
ity financing, leaned to the down.
side. Convertibles generally fol-
lowed the stock market upward.
It took only q one-eighth gain
over the week to nudge the
Treasury's 3O-year 3Hs to ITO
1882 bid, a new peak. At this
quotation, the 3HS yield only
2.67 per cent interest. Victory
21as and bank-eligible 21as Of
1912 climbed 1882 at SO
1852 bid. The 21as Of 1861 rose
half a point at 102 1882 bid and
recently issued 17ss of 1859 were
up 5/32 at 100 1882 bid.
Foreign liens were mixed.
japanese and Greek bonds
tended to ease. German and Ital-
ian issues were cratic, but some
what higher. Most South Ameri-
can bonds also improved.
Contributing to the f1rming Of
the secondary bond market over
the past 10 days has been the
success Of new flotations. Alu-
minum Corp. of America had no
trouble distributing 500 million
Of 3 per cent 25-year debentureS,

Added Funds Sought
For Rise in Welfare Load

Congress today received a
White House recommendation
for supplementary legislation
authorizing the use of 100000
available funds in the District
Welfare Department to meet in
creased demands for public re-
lief payments.
The request, started by the
District Commissioners. is for a
bookkeeping transaction involv-
ing transfer of funds from the
departments budget for protec-
tive institutions to the agency
services section. The money is
expected to provide for addi-
tional relief payments during
May and June, the last two
months of the current fiscal year.
Recently, the welfare depart
ment earmarked another $4,000
for increased public assistance
needs during April.
Officials have blamed rising
unemployment here for the ex-
ira drain on relief payments.
