1S WHEATSHES | HELPWEST COAST Shipments to China Revive Trade Despite Lull Elsewhere. ' - n the face of & heavily depressed financial market last week, a survey made by the President's Committee on | Unemployment Relief and conditions | affecting business and employment throughout the country showed one bright spot, a movement of wheat sold ( by the Federal Farm Board.to China, stimulating the milling trade, shippers | and related lines in Seattle and Port- | land, Oreg. | The survey, based on reports received | from 37 cities, was made public today | b{ Fred C. Croxton, assistant director of the President’s relief group. At the same time the Commerce Department released its official magazine, Survey of Current Business, which summarized conditions as “extremely dull and the | seasonal increase which usually occurs | st this time of the year has been slow 4n developing.” % Two Strikes in Force. Two strikes, one in Rhode Island and | the other in Lawrence, Mass, the lat- | ter affecting 8000 workers, failed to! offset an increase of seasonal activity in the New England textile and jewelry trades.
