IMPROVED LABOR I l CONDITIONS SEEN / Seasonal Outdoor Activities Absorbing Some Surplus and i Situation Looks Better. BY J. C. BOYLE. 1 Seasonal outdoor activities are rapidly ; absorbing the surplus In certain types i of labor, but in the industrial and man* ufacturlng fields only small changes are in evidence. However, the labor situa tion is plainly becoming better. Perhaps the most significant note was struck by the announcement by financial interests 1 In the steel region that the automobile , manufacturers had already made defi nite and comprehensive plans to in crease output and to put on more men from this time onward. 1 it is quite true that automobile , production this year has been well un , der that for 1929, but there is every reason to believe that from this time on production, which Is closely adjusted to sales at present, will equal or exceed that for the last half of last year. In the case of one of the two largest pro ducers, sales to customers were 10,000 , cars in excess of sales to dealers. Parts Major Factor. The improvement along this line, to gether with the requirements of the ag ricultural implement concerns, public utilities, construction, electrical equip ' ment manufacturers and pipe line pro grams, are expected to keep the steel industry at a high rate of output throughout the remainder of the year. The railroads are Increasing their car loadings, and this is giving them addi tional revenue with which to purchase new equipment. These purchases are always a major factor in the steel Industry. . x , Building construction has not sliown the life and vitality which were ex pected of it when Midsummer ap proached. It is today about on the same level as it was In 1913 and is far under the peaks which were attained in September of 1928 and 1929. However, the volume of construction increased approximately per cent in the last month. BONDS ON THE CURB MARKET. gales In DOMESTIC BONDS thousands. Hißh. Low.

BY JOHN L. COOLEY. Associated Frees Financial Writer. NEW YORK, July 18.— With the ex ception of k few issues, price move ments Were more or less of a routine nature on the Curb Market today. Re actions on week end profit-taking in the general list proved small and prices on the whole exhibited further firm ness. Trading wpa moderately active. Tranaatnerica's application for listing in the New York Stock Exchange brought an initial advance of more than 2 points in the stock, but part of the gain was lost. Investment trusts as a group were firm. Bhenandokh attracted some attention on an unoffi cial estimate of an increase in its as sets. Ooldman-Sachs trading was firm. United Founders, a holding company with a large Investment in trust stocks, was under pressure, reacting nearly a point before support was forthcoming. The utilities were dull. Niagara Hud son was strong on talk of merger pos sibilities with Consolidated Gas. Re ports that the company had concluded an agreement for an interchange of power with New York Edison, a prom inent Consolidated Gas subsidiary, were denied, although it was admitted that negotiations for the project had been under way for some time. Tampa Elec tric was run ud several points and Con solidated Gas of Baltimore rallied, but the more active utility shares moved listlessly. There was some irregularity in the in dustrials. Driver Harris, a recent fea ture, reappeared on the tape several points below the previous sale. The company announced that it had ac quired rights to manufacture under the Krupp-Nlrosta stainless steel patents. Deere moved up and down with some uncertainty, united States Gypsum broke more than 2 points, and New mont was off a point or two. Aluminum of America made a broad upward move on limited buying. Dresser Manufactur ing “B” sold higher. A rise of kbout a point In Cities Serv ice was the outstanding development in the oil group, which otherwise was quiet. Call money renewed at 2V 2 per cent. DRY WEATHER SENDS WHEAT PRICES HIGHER Corn Also Up, bnt Oats and Pro visions Are Ir regular. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 18.—Persistent com plaints of hot, dry weather over the Spring wheat belt resulted in early higher prices today for wheat. Renewal of anxiety as to the Canadian crop outcome in particular was apparent. Opening at a shade to % gain, wheat values later showed additional upturns all around. Com prices developed In dependent strength, starting 3%a3% up and subsequently rising still more. Oats and provisions were irregular. WHEAT— Hi*h. Low. Close.

FINANCI AE,~ COTTON OPENS STEADY IN VIEW OF DROUGHT By the Associated Pres*. NEW YORK, July I*.—Cotton open ed steady at an advance of 5 to 9 points today on reports of continued dry weather in the Central and West ern belts. There may have been a little selling or) the relatively easy show ing of Liverpool, but offerings were comparatively light and the market showed increasing steadiness after the publication of the weather map, which according to local map readers held out no promise of a break iri the Cen- | tral and Western drouth. At the end of the first half hour, the market was about 5 to 16 points net higher, with the more active new crop positions showing net advances of 8 to 16 points. Notices estimated at 1,900 bales caused a little liquidation of July which sold at 13.03 during the early trading, while the new De cember was selling at 13.20. Liverpool cables said that continental selling had offset local and foreign buying In that market. Buying increased after publication of the official forecasts, which pointed to continued dry weather ih Western and Central belt sections. July was rela tively quiet, but advanced to 13.12, or 15 points net higher, while new crop positions sold about 20 to 24 points above yesterday’s closing quotations, with the new October advancing to 13.10. Realizing by recent buyers checked the advance at these figures and caused some irregularity, but the market was steady at midday and within 2 or 3 points of the best on the more active new crop positions.
