PHILADELPHIA.—Many manufac- turers of clothing here are entering the month with a fairly heavy carry- over of Spring merchandise on their hands. This, however, is not operat- ing to check production of Summer goods, which are in fair demand. DETROIT.—Parts_producers report in ed orders. The Motor Wheel Corporation states that new business has taken a spurt in the last 10 day which forced an increase in work: ing hours and number of workers engaged.

But carrying over the supply of corn on the farms for another year would involve crib losses and ex- penses, while there is no assurance that prices will be better then, pro- vided production this year is heavy. Grain for Lambs. The season for feeding lambs is about over. but the movement of | California lambs to central markets has fallen short of that of a vear ago since weather conditions in some sec- tions prevented the animals attaining the ial growth. A large number are expected to be offered as feeders later. There is every indication that the | Southwest will have a bumper Winter wheat crop, but the Spring wheat outlook in some sections of the North is not bright. In Texas hu reds of new “combines” as the h vester-thrashers are called, are on their way to the north plains wheat district of Texas in preparation for the harvest which will begin in the | panhandle about June 20.

During most of the month hog prices averaged more than 10 per cent higher than in the same period a year ago and almost double the prices pre- vailing in May, 1923 and 1924, when hog production’ and marketings were at a peak. Demand for beef was fair, with steady prices. Hide values showed imprenn MON TGOMERY WARD SALES.
