for any May in half a century. The

WEATHER HELPS
MARYLAND CROPS
Warmer Temperatures and Heavy
Rains Do Much to Correct
Backward Season.
Bj the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. June 3.—Warm weath
er and heavy rains last, week did much
to correct Maryland's backward grow
ing season, the United States Weather
Bureau said.
The bureau's weekly crop report,
covering the seven days ending June
1, described last week as “warm, with
abundant rain during the first part
and with abundant sunshine during
the second part.” Sunshine was 10
pier cent above normal.
"Grains, other growing crops,
grasses, pastures and fruits made rapid
progress, and are mostly good to ex
cellent” the report said. "Wet fields
during the first part of the week inter
fered with farming operations.”
Wheat is heading or is in head ex
cept in the Western Maryland moun
tains. Rye is filling out in the south
ern counties and blooming in the
northern ones. Early potatoes are also
blooming, except in the northern
counties.
Peas are maturing and are being har
vested in the southern counties; in
the central counties the pods are de
veloping; peas are in bloom and pod
ding in the northern counties. There
is a bad infestation of aphids in the
Easton district.
In the Allegheny Mountains peach
and pear trees are setting fruit and
apples have finished blooming.
FINANCING INCREASES.
NEW YORK, June 3 (^.—Domin
ion Securities Corp. reported bond
offerings in Canada in May totalled
1113.518,500, compared with $19,651,
500 in the same month last year. Vir
tually the entire increase was due
to a $113,500,000 Issue of Dominion
of Canada bonds.

STEEL INGOT RATE
HIES YEAR’S LOW
Strikes Reduce Operations
to 771/2 Per Cent Mark
During Week.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 3 —Production
of steel ingots has declined to the
lowest point thus far in 1937 due to
strikes at plants of three major pro
ducers, Iron Age said today in its re
view of the industry.
The rate of operation for the coun
try at large was given as 77'2 per
cent of capacity, against the revised
figure of 85 per cent last week. The
high for the year was 92.3 in the
week ended April 26.
"The Youngstown district, where
average operations are down to 45 per
cent from 84 per cent before the
strike, is the hardest hit," the review
said.
"There has been some diversion of
orders from companies affected by
strikes to those that are not, but the
amount of this so far has not been
large. If the strikes are prolonged, as
appears to be likely, a further tend
ency toward the placing of business
with plants that can take such busi
ness for reasonably early shipment
undoubtedly will develop. Meanwhile
many customers' stocks are simple In
many cases for some weeks, and Job
bers' stocks are also plentiful.
"The volume of new steel business
had been declining rather sharply just
prior to the strike, but specifications
against contracts were and still are
holding up In good volume. Orders
for steel for construction purposes
have been outstanding
"Despite the influence of the steel
strikes, steel scrap prices ^iave shown
no further decline at Pittsburgh and
Chicago, but a drop at Philadelphia
reduces the Iron Age composite price
to $17.75, the year's low.”
CLEVELAND. Ohio, June 3 <>$>>.—
Daily Metal Trade today says
Reflecting furnace suspensions oc
casioned by strikes at important Mid
western steel plants, steel ingot opera
tions have taken a nose-dive since a ;
week ago.
At midweek the national ingot rate
is estimated at about 75 per cent of
capacity. This compares with 91 per
cent one week ago and 79 per cent
prior to Memorial day.
Except at points where plants are
closed by strikes, production is being
maintained at a high pace. Pressure
for deliveries is easing, however, and
new business is not developing in the
volume of the recent pace. Strike cur
tailments are most noticeable at Chi- 1
cago, Cleveland and Youngstown.

New York Total Mounts,
While Other Centers
Shew Decline.
Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 3—The bank
clearings exhibit for the past week
presents a very irregular picture. The
total for New York, despite the Dec
oration day holiday and the stock
market closing on May 29 and May 31,
showed a gain over the preceding
week, while the outside centers de
clined.
This was partially due to heavy
first-of-the-month settlements. On.
the other hand, contrast with the
same week of 1936 revealed a de
crease for New York, while the total
for the cities in the rest of the coun
try was higher.
Aggregate volume of clearings for
22 leading cities of the United States
for the week (five days) ended June 2,
according to Dun Ac Bradstreet,
amounted to $5,276,296,000. against
$5,541,939,000 in the same week (five
days i of 1936, This represented a
decrease of 4.8 per cent, the first such
decline reported since the week of
May 5, last.
Clearings for New York City aggre
gated $3,304,945,000, a loss of'l0 8 per
cent from the 193S comparative of
$3,704,025,000. At the outside cities
the clearings volume for the week was
$1,971,351,000. as compared with $1,
837.914,000 last year, or a gain of 7.3
per cent.
Besides the drop at New York, de
creases from a year ago were reported
bv Boston, St. Louis and Omaha,
while all other cities showed gams,
the largest of which were at Louis
ville. Richmond and Atlanta.
The week’s clearings represented a
loss of $7,845,000 from the preceding
weeks total, whereas in the compari
son for the similar weeks of 1935
there was a gain of $823,937,000
Bank clearings at leading cities, to
gether with percentage losses and
gains compared with those of 1936,
