• NEW YORK, May 12—The bond
•narket followed a steady course in
ijuiet trading today, with further re
covery in French government dollar
bonds the feature.
U. S. Governments were from l-32nd
lo 3-32nds higher; the domestic cor
porate list was narrow and changes
tor the most part were confined to the
fractional variety. Gainers included
Western Union 5s. Postal Telegraph
5s and Erie 5s, while Alleghany 5s
were lower.
French 7s of 1949 were up 5 points
and the 7>,?s of 1941 gained 2'-a, in the
final hour, both on light sales. Other
foreign bonds were only slightly
• thanged.

SHOE FIRMS SCORE
BROAD RECOVERY
Production From 3 to 6 Per
Cent Above 1935 as
Sales Mount.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 12.—In spite ol
one of the most severe Winters In the
past decade, which called for greater
use of rubbers and overshoes, all
divisions of the shoe and leather
trades reported substantial progress
during the first four months of 1936,
according to a survey by Dun Si Brad
street.
“Production ranged from 3 to 6 per
cent larger than In the comparative
1935 period, wholesale volume was
ahead by 8 to 11 per cent, while the
Increase in retail sales ran as high as
15 to 20 per cent. Volume buyers
have come Into the market for larger
quantities since mid-April, and some
of the cutting rooms have worked
close to capacity.
“This improvement has given an
auspicious start for continuing the
uninterrupted advance of the shoe
trade for the fourth successive year,
with indications that new high ground
may be entered. In 1935 a record was
established for shoe production, which
reached 383,761.499 pairs, a rise of 7.5
per cent from the 1934 total and 6.2
per cent from the previous peak
reached at 361,407,000 pairs In 1929.
In the first quarter of 1936 this high
level was maintained, as output of
98,158,110 pairs surpassed all totals
for the comparative period In the
trade’s history.
“Consumer resistance had not de
veloped thus far to the moderate
mark-ups which retailers have made
on some grades of shoes, as manu
facturers have been slow to pass along
their higher materials and production
costs. Inventories, while well In hand,
are heavier than last Spring. Some
concerns do not regard the outlook
quite so favorable as a year ago. but
the general consensus is that a larger
volume will be recorded for all
divisions than in 1935.”

BY TEXTILE FIRMS
Mill Agents Favor Action,
but Wait in Vain for
Producers’ Plafo.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 12.—Because the
recovery which has come to so many
industries In the last six months has
almost entlre’y eluded it, the cotton
textile industry is turning again to
the task of self-analysis to determine,
If possible, its shortcomings.
There has lately been a circular
flow of discussion regarding the need
for curtailment of production. It
travels from the manufacturing cen
ters of the South and New England
to the local offices of mill selling
agents and then back to the source.
The agents readily agree that the
situation calls for action, but they
have so far waited In vain for a sign
that the producers have a definite
plan.
Question Complicated.
Textile Interests who are familiar
with the problem say the Industry Is
the victim of a highly Individualized
make-up. There are high cost mills
and low cost mills; and by groups
they specialize in the production of
varied lines of cotton products.
Throw them all together and it
becomes patent immediately, the ex
perts declare, that a production
trimming scheme acceptable to one
group would be regarded as unfair,
if not ruinous, by another.
Nevertheless suggestions offering
methods of organized curtailment from
sections of the spinning industry itself
and from other divisions of the trade
have been receiving increasing promi
nence in many of the cotton trade
journals.
Margins Unsatisfactory.
Most of them take the position that
since the industry, in spite of im
provement in general business and
wider and better markets for finished
cotton goods, has been unable to show
satisfactory operating margins, the
logical solution of the problem lies
in concerted action to retire enough
spindles to effect substantial reduc
tions in output and inventories.
Only by such action, the sponsors*
of the plans declare, will the primary
markets for cotton be lifted out of
the present depression.
One proposal, outlined recently, and
said to have some support among
certain of the producers, would have
the manufacturers adopt a plan some
what along the lines of the spinning
redundancy act, under which British
manufacturers are now operating.
The objective of this act is the
reduction of a substantial, but fixed
percentage of productive capacity.
But whereas the British act was
created by Parliament, it is proposed
here to have the cotton manufacturers
form a corporation of their own to
lease at a certain basic figure a speci
fied percentage of spindles and take
them out of production.
