STEEL MILL LABOR ROLL EXCEEDS 1529 .Youngstown Plants Add to Employes Despite New Factory Methods. By the Associated Press. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, May 30 Figures released by steel companies disclosed that Youngstown district steel mills are employing more work men than in 1929. One of the largest steel companies, the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co., has nearly 12,000 men on its pay roll, the figures showed, more than It em ployed in 1929. This condition has been attained in spite of the displace ment of old hand-worked sheet mills by the company’s new continuous strip mill, virtually automatic. In some classifications there is an actual labor shortage. This appears chiefly in the highly skilled work at open hearth furnaces and in rolling mills, where five or six years’ ex perience is needed to turn out a com petent workman. One employment agent said he could use "skilled mechanics of al most all kinds," and another said that his company experienced a shortage even in certain kinds of common labor. we nave recalled virtually every man we ever carried on our pay roll whom we can get now,” one steel offi cial said. "In addition wre have hired hundreds of new employes, mostly young men.” These young men Include college graduates who have begun at com mon labor wages In apprenticeships, which will lead eventually to higher pay at skilled jobs. Groups of young men still are seen around employment agencies, but ex ecutives said many of these are not physically adapted for mill work. While re-employment of steel work ers is virtually complete, many of the men still are working only two or three days a week. These are men in departments which require special skills, but have not enough orders to work full time. The men on these crews, officials said, have not the kind of skill required In other departments and so cannot be shifted. In busy departments, crew's are be ing worked more than the standard 40-hour week. “We hate to do it.” an employer said, "but we can’t find the skilled men to make up another shift in these departments.” 100 STOCKS CUMB 4.6 PCT.

WINNIPEG, May 30.—The upward trend continued as the Winnipeg Grain Exchange operated on its own with most outside markets closed. Wheat prices finished %a34 cent higher, May at 76 V4, July 77 7i, and October 77 % cents. Speculative demand for futures continued as high temperatures again were reported from the West's grain growing area. Crop damage was feared in many sections with no relief from the five day heat? wave in sight. With the Chicago market closed and the Liverpool Exchange on holiday over the Whitsuntide, local operations were restricted. A minimum of buying sufficed to send prices sharply higher at the opening. Despite occasional flurries of profit taking, particularly in the late stages of the session, most of the early gains were retained and the close was strong. Reports from North Saskatchewan told of an urgent need of rain over a wide area. Though it was too early in the season to estimate possible damage to wheat just showing above ground, deterioration was feared un less moisture was received within a , few days. The result of the holiday in Great Britain export sales of Canadian wheat was small, estimated at only 200,000 bushels. Cash and coarse grains were firmer. Prev. Wheat—Open. High. Low. Close. Close.

TRADING IN COTTON QUIET BUTSTEADV Increased Activity in Cloth Markets and Weather Bring Firmness. Ey the Associated Press. NEW YORK. May 30.—While com paratively quiet, cotton has been gen erally steady during the last week on trade buying and covering. Reports of continued unfavorable weather in the South and increasing activity in the cloth markets brought in some commission house buying. Prices reached the best levels of the week and month in most instances during Friday's trading, when October sold up to 10.60, or about 47 points above the low level touched toward the end of April. Buyers showed hesitation in follow ing advances above 10*2 cents for the new-crop months, but made their ap pearance on moderate declines, and the bulge late in the period was evi dently promoted by crop complaints from the droughty Eastern belt sec tion and apprehensions of increased insect activity or grassy fields in the Southwest, where rains have been per sistent. The pool holdings of futures for July delivery, understood to be in the neighborhood of 317,000 bales, are said to have had a stabilizing Influence on that position. Weekly Cotton Statement.

Considerable activity centered in October which gained a point to close at 10.54. December was net un changed at 10.46 while other options showed little net change on the day. The scattered buying that did de velop was based mostly upon con tinued dry weather in the eastern por tion of the belt.

Since March the Treasury has withdrawn about half its “working balance” deposits in Federal Reserve banks to meet the deficit in expendi tures over receipts. But its deposits in the reserve banks remain larger than usual and are expected to be augmented substantially from the proceeds of June financing, notably the mid-month sale of securities to raise $1,000,000,000 in cash for bonus and relief needs. Deposits held by the reserve banks for the Treasury's "general account” compared as follows: Week ended May 27_$544,183,000 Preceding week_ 513,104,000 Same week last year_- 74,472,000 LOANS AT5'/2% 1st Trust Construction Loans on Residential Properties.
