Few industrialists and specula- tors appear to have called the turn of events precisely .in the business world as a result of the struggle, Much of the first half of 1940 was spent in a readjustment| - to the fact that European purchas- es of war supplies did not come so fast or in such big volume as had been expected. Ten Billion Lost This was reflected in the move- ment of the stock market, which reached a peak in its first reaction to the war late in October, then moved sidewise and, later, down- ward to a bottom early in June. When the first impact of the total war hit the market, with the invasion of the Low Countries, prices crashed in one of the most severe bear movements in the his-| tory of Wall Street. Total quated value of shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange lost more in less than securities many billions more The Associated Press average of 60 stocks declined 20 percent in value in ten trading days, stocks steadied. The course of industrial activ- ity had followed a roughly sim- ilar course, Many lines of activity had been speeded in autumn on the theory that Allied buying here would be on the scale of 1916, al- though it took the collapse of France, at the end of nine months to their peak.

Dodge Corpoartion for 37 eastern states. with the rush to rearm America, and gave heavy industry its great- est push since 1937. The aircraft and steel plants of the nation were whirring along at or near capacity as the half-year came to a close, and motorcar factories were boom- ing in unusual resistance to the normal summer down-trend. This activity appeared to be spreading rapidly to other lines of | business as the second half of the year began. Retail trade seemed to be catching up with the rush in factories, after a spring lag. Most observers felt that still further improvement lay ahead, though not minimizing the dis- ruption of many normal channels of trade as a result of the war. The rearmament race here was expected, for the time being, to take up most of the slack caused by the loss of customary foreign markets. The Bureau of Agricultural Eco- nomics in Washington said: | “If the European war continues active, it seems fairly certain that industrial activity during the lasi half of 1940 will be higher than during the first half.” The trend of share prices ap- peared to lend weight to this point of view. Measured by The Associated | Press average, the market reached |its lowest in two years, at 37.0, on June 10, whcn it had become [mrly third with a snappy stretch drive. Portsider Al Milnar won 14 games for the Tribe, but is a sophomore | | and must prove he can do it again. EHm'ry Eisenstat, acquired from De- | troit, was especially valuable in re- lief roles.

Arms Plan Starts Rise | The course from then on was investors | generally upward, as | and speculators appeared more and more interested in the effects on busincss of the many billions of dollars the U. S. Government| was planning to throw into its] arms effort. The steel industry, operating at,\ around 90 percent of theoretical| capacity, was generally figured 'n‘ near its maximum practical ac- tivity as the half-year ended. The production of automobiles and the movement of freight byg the country's railroads likewise were the greatest since 1937. | Commodity markets swung with the war tide in much the same way as stocks. There was an autumn| bulge as speculators and industrial | consumers rushed to buy. But when it became apparent that the con-| flict was getting a slow start, prices| quickly subsided, though to levels | a little better than at the outbreak | of hostilities. Wheat nearly doubled in value to above $1.10 a bushel in the autumn buying surge, but is now under 80 cents. Cotton got to nearly 11 cents a pound, but now/ is only a bit above 9. Typical of imported commodities was rub-| ber, which rose from 16 cents a| pound to above 21, and is now in TAX DELINQUENT PROPERTY T0 BE 0LD AUGUST 9 Order of Sale Passed as Resolution of Juneau ‘ City Council .
