. PULSE OF BUSINESS _ TUESDAY, MAY 27, 1924. PAGE SEVEN. Oil :: Finance _ISCLOSELY WATCHED Manufacturers More Interested in Buying De- mand Than in Tax Legislation; Steel Holding Up Well. ' By J. O. ROYLE, Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune NEW YORK, May 27.—Undoubt- edly the action of the president on tax legislation will be closely watch- ed by business and industry during the coming week, but other factors re expected to be more potent in the business situation. If demand for products is satisfactory, plants producing those products will run at an increased rate without pay- ing much attention to what is donte with tax legislation, according to many thoughtful financiers. A re- duction of taxes undoubtedly would be esteemed of benefit to the heav- fer taxpayers, but it is held it would have littie effect on the ac- tual purchasing power of the coun. try as a whole, on which the ac- tivity of business mainly rests. For this reason, close students of business are watching the steel, automobile, building and agricul- tural situation more closely than) the action of congre: In the first- named industry, it is notable that prices have held better than might have been expected in view of the ght demand. Steel mills have re- cognized that of late years cond tiona have changed. Productive pacity is so large at present that prices do not rebound easily after they have been forced to low levels. ‘Producers; therefore, -have kept their production costs strictly in mind and have avoided developing fn unprofitable market. Steel men gay there still may be some addi-| gay tional declines in some products ‘which have not as yet suffered @ropsa but indications are that the ymarket is not engaged in a continu- ous decline. In fact, many believe the bottom has. been reached. Bars, shapes and plates have held ‘well for the last fortnight and the stiffening in tl attitude of inde- pendent producers of sheets is re- garded as having aided sentiment to @ marked degree. Two blast fur- maces and one merchant stack have ‘been closed down in the. Chicago district and ingot prodyction is down to 60 per cent of capacity for the large producers and 60 per cent Automobiles. ATLANTA.—The slump in auto- mobile sales here is attributed to used car congestion which has be- come acute since the liquidation of ‘the motor mart, which attempted to fact as a used car clearing house for retail dealers. CLEVELAND.—The Peerless fac- tory is steadily maintaining the prodtction schedule which was fol- lowed last month. While shipments for thé year so far have been a most as heavy as those of last year. SAN FRANCISCO.—The present prices for automobiles are about as low as they can be bought and still maintain American building stan- @ards, according to A. F. Sloan; president of General Motors. Live Stock. BT, PAUL.—As a result of ex- periments by farm experts of the University of Minnesota, Marl, a mineral found extensively in this state, will be used in large quan- titles to fatten hogs and as a@ cor- rective of acid soil. The mineral has been successfully substituted for air-slacked lime or ground Im: stone as part of the diet for grow- ing hogs. Textiles. BOSTON.—The Pocasset Manu- facturing company of Fall River has closed down indefinitely and the cotton division of the American Printing company which operated in full last week is idle this week. Silk. SEATTLE.—Japanese silk ship- ments valued at $15,000,000, which arrived here on the steamships President Grant and Arabia Maru, for the smaller plants. Neverthe- less, small but numerous orders are keeping producers in fair shape. Announcement that the Ford company will close down on’ Decora- tion day and next Saturday, May 31, is taken by many in Detroit to indicate that the. company may discontinue Saturday work through- out the summer. This action, it is felt, 1s a precautionary measure to insure balancing sales and output. Present sales volume would hardly make curtailment by the Ford plants necessary, but company of- ficlals are understood to have thought it best to take this action. Sales based on actual deliveries the first three weeks of May and with the last of the month estimat- ed, are expected to exceed those of the corresponding period of last r by 125,000 vehicles. Dafly sales are surpassing those of last year by one thousand cars. The Ford check, however, puts practic- ally all the plants in the Michigan district on reduced schedules. How long they will be kept on such Schedules depends largely on the weather. Should sales show’a jump in June, production would be speed- ed up at once and materials now being ordered for fall delivery indi- cate beyond question that heavy fall schedules are being prepared for. All eyes in the automobile trade are on the price situation and a dozen makers are ready to announce ad- vances if further restriction . of quantity production becomes Neces- ry. Bullding activty does not seem to have been affected in Detroit, but in many other cities, the main completion of structures already undertaken in time for the fall renting period rather than in laying out and starting new building pro- grams. Cotton estimates which have been announced by private statisticians do not give great hopes for a heavy crop and the amount of raw cotton which will be available later in the year {s. rendered more uNcetain by continued heavy buying from abroad. Trade -News special trains. These were the two most valuable silk cargoes ever to reac this port. . interest seems to be in “ready [| * Flour. PORTLAND.—China again {is in the market for northwestern flour paying an advanced price in line with wheat quotations, Portland mills are receiving fair orders from Shanghi and Hong Kong. Railway Equipment. PHILADELPHIA.—The local chamber of commerce has received numerous inquiries recently from Mexico for box, flat and tank cars, knocked down, ready to assemble. Wire. WEST BROOKFIELD, Mass.— The Wheeldon Wire company has | been so rushed with orders that it has been necessary to put night shift at the local plant. on a Fruit. ¢ HOUSTON.—The first peaches from the Rio Grande valley have made thelr appearance on the mar: ket here. The raising of this fruit in the Rio Grande section was an experiment this year. Strawberries netted growers in this county $500 an acre this season. ST. LOUIS.—Howell county is receiving a large number of home seekers under colonization schemes which involve extensive grape growing. ONANCOCK, Va.— Strawberries in tremendous shipments will be moving from the Hastern shore of Virginia to northern markets by the end of the month. Northampton county will have the largest crop in its history. The crop in the Del. marvia peninsula will total 35,000,- 000 quart: BUSINESS BRIEFS ST. PAUL—Tho gross receipts of the St. Paul City Rallway for the first four months of this syear amounted to $1,658,151, a decrease of $74,850 as compared with. last epring.

ST, LOUIS—The ‘gross earnings of the United Railways here for the first three weeks of this months showed a falling off of $60,000 as compared with May, 1928. About $40,000 of this loss is attributed to motor bus competition.

A telegraphic error was made in the estimates of dally average domestic production of crude ofl for the week ended May 17. The daily average production was estimated nat 1,986,000, whereas the correct fig ure is 1,972,650 barrels, indicating an increase over the previous week of 18,300 barrels per day instead of 27,560 barrels. The error related to the production of the Mexia field in central Texas which was 32,850 barrels, instead of 47,100 barrels as originally stated. The production of central Texas should be changed from 206,500 barrels to 102,250 barrels per day, a decrease in this district of 4,600 barrela per day in- stead of an increase of 9,650 barrels per day. ——_~——.

Powell was_con- vieted of second degree murder and was pardoned after serving a few months of her 20-year sentence. It is necessary to go all the way back to 1829 to find a first degree murder conviction recorded. In that year, the notorious Patty Can- non, celebrated as the principal character in George Alfred Town send’s novel, “The Entailed Hat, or Patty Cannon's Time: was sen tenced to hang for the murder of a peddier. Before the date of the hanging, however, the fair Patty, renowned as a beauty, died in pri son, according to the records. She was spirited away by the band of #lave kidnappers which she headed, if you prefer to believe the romantic traditions of Sussex county. pa hla ceanataiatid Foreign Exchange NEW YORK, May 217.—Forelgn exchanges, irregular.

There was scat- tered selling on the part of com- mission houses and by pit specu- lators. On the declines, however, houses with eastern connections did some purchasing. . The initial fig- ures, which ranged from %c decline to %4c advance, with July $1.08% to $1.08% and September $1.09% to $1.09%, were followed by a general setback. Subsequently, weakness at Winni- Peg and slowness of export demand prevented any decided rally. The clese was heavy %c to %c net low- er, July $1.07% to $1.07% and Sep- tember $1.08c to $1.09. Favorable weather tended ‘to ease down corn and oats. After opening unchanged to %c lower, July 77% to 77%4c, the corn market continued to sag. Covering by shorts brought about price upturne later but mostly of a transient sort. The close was un- sett'ed %o to net lower, July T1%*@%c to 77% O%e. Oats started at a shade to %c off July 44% @%o, and later showed a little further loss. Provisions were inclined to drop owing to iower quotations on hogs. Open High Low Cl WHEAT.
