RISE IMPRESSIVE IN PAPER INDUSTRY Sales and Earnings Make Better Showing Than in Other Lines. 8peclal Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, May 4 —Sales and earnings enjoyed by manufacturers of paper to date far exceed for 1937 the progress of most industries, ac cording to a new report in Poor's In dustry and Investment Surveys. This experience is in line with the trend j of 1936, when production of paper amounting to 12,000,000 tons was not only about 8 per cent above the 1929 peak, but also sold at a more favor able price level than in 1935. "Impressive earnings were recorded last year by producers of kraft and board paper,’’ the report states. "Best of all were the profits of those units specializing in containers. Cartons over a period of years have made vast inroads into the business formerly held by makers of wooden and jute packages, an there is every indica tion that this trend will continue over the long term. Because of a further lift in demand during the first quar ter of 1937, prices of such paper were again boosted. As a result of earnings ran far above the level of the open ing months of 1936, with all evidence pointing to continuation of the pres ent trend.” -— • BANK DEBITS SHOW DROP OF 7 PER CENT Bj the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 4.—Despite crop deterioration in the United States Winter wheat belt last month, Chi cago experts Indicated today, 1937 production still promises to be the largest since 1931. The average of six crop experts’ estimates of Winter wheat harvest this Summer was 652,000,000 bushels, which compared with an average of 655.000. 000 a month ago and the April 1 estimate by the Department of Agriculture of 656,000.000. The 1936 harvest totaled 519,000,000 bushels. The crop experts estimated the area seeded to Spring wheat in the United States, including durum variety, at 22,614.000 acres, which compared with the Government's preliminary esti mate of 20,918,000 acres a month ago. Last year, because of the serious drought, 11,212.000 acres of Spring wheat were harvested. Reports reaching the grain trade today from some sections of the Winter wheat belt, particularly in Kansas, the largest wheat producing State, indi cated serious need of rain. This was in contrast to heavy rainfall in much of the corn belt, where an abundance of moisture actually has retarded field work preparatory to the seeding of corn. The heavy Spring moisture in the corn belt, which has delayed opera tions as much as two to three weeks in some sections, is also a striking contrast to last Summer’s drought, which killed so much corn that the Nation's total production was the second smallest in a half century. Rains fell over the Winter wheat belt yesterday, but precipitation gen erally was light and many traders said much more moisutre is needed. Sec tions of Oklahoma and Nebraska also are in need of rain, crop reports indicated. During April, Winter wheat pros pects improved in Ohio, Indiana, Il linois and Missouri, the experts said, but declined in Kansas and Ne braska. -• REICHSBANK STATEMENT. BERLIN.

Mortgage Loan Correspondent for Six Insurance Companies Steel Rate Likely To Hold Levels For Ninety Days By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 4.—Dally Metal Trade today says: Iron and steel production will con tinue heavy for the next 90 days. The industry is at or has just passed the peak; a progressive tapering ofT can be expected, but the descent will be temporal and less than seasonal A lull, not a slump, is in prospect for the Summer and it will develop later than usual. Extension of sec ond-quarter prices into third-quarter has relieved the tension of buyers. Some shipments have been re scheduled, permitting more prompt delivery on some shipments by ex tending mill backlogs. Practically no tonnage has been canceled Only the collapse of general business and a more repressive program in Washing ton can torpedo a good market over the remainder of the year.
