July 8.—Rail loans Infused life into the bond market today by continuing their upward run for fresh gains amounting to as much as 4 points. Corporates generally ruled a little j higher near the final hour. Buying in rails was a carryover . from last week’s brisk run-up, stim- J ulated in large part by expanding \ freight movement. More than $500,000 of Republic 1 Steel 4’is changed hands at frac- j tional advances. Brokers felt the heavy turnover represented a deal by an institutional investor. Gains and losses of around '» point were evenly balanced among United States Governments. For eign dollar loans were neglected as the market tried to keep up with foreign developments. Domestic gainers included Mis aouri-Kansas-Texas 5s of ’62. Bal timore & Ohio stamped convertibles, Western Michigan 5>2s, Southern Pacific 4!2s of '68 and Nickel Plate 4'2s. v New York Bank Stocks Gain During Week Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK.

The Agriculture Department esti mated today that cotton in cultiva tion July 1 totaled 25,077.000 acres, or 101.6 per cent of the area in cultivation a year ago, which was 24.683.000 acres. Abandonment of cotton acreage between July 1 and time of picking has averaged 1.9 per cent in the last 10 years, the department said, and the average abandonment applied to the estimated acreage in culti vation indicates 24.616.000 acres for harvest this year. The acreage picked last year was 23.928,000, the smallest since 1899; the yield of lint cotton was 235.9 pounds to the acre.

Aviation Gasoline Needs To Force Expansion By the Associated Press. NEW YO?tK, July 8— Oil's con tribution to national defense was viewed with such optimism by the Lamp, published by the Standard Oil Co. tNew Jersey), that only one difficulty was confessed. Even that was called simple of solution. ‘‘A survey of production possibili ties for aviation fuel of 100 octane or greater indicates that a sufficient supply could be developed to meet the fueling requirements of the larg est air fleet called for in any de fense program so fai made public,” said the Lamp. ‘"This cannot be done, however, with existing facilities, for the large quantities of high-quality fuel that will be needed will naturally be far in excess of commeicial peacetime requirements. Additional capacity for manufacturing blending agents as well as certain other facilities will have to be constructed. "Given reasonable 'breaks,’ how ever, there is no reason why the oil man cannot lay adequate supplies of aviation fuel on the line before the planes themselves are delivered.” The Lamp dismissed as presenting no problem raw material, ordinary refining capacity, oiling the defense machine, fueling the defense line, supplying certain necessary chemi cal and man power in the industry. Peach Crop Surprise In Fifth District Wheat and peaches are the only crops for which 1940 prospective yield figures have been issued the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond reports. Total wheat yield this year for the fifth district is forecast at 24.440.000 bushels, approximately the same as 24.480.000 bushels in 1939 but less than the 10-year average pro duction of 25.169,000 bushels. Mary land and Virginia are expected to excell last year's wheat crops, but West Virginia and the two Carolinas apparently have smaller crops this year. Peaches are turning out better than was expected, and the district's prospective crop of 4,793.000 bushels is higher than either the 1939 yield of 4,708,000 bushels or the 10-year average crop of 4,624,000 bushels' Wool Prices Uneven As Demand Slackens By the Associated Press. BOSTON, July 8 (United States Department of Agriculture) .—New business was very slow on the Bos ton wool market during the last week, and quotations on domestic wools were somewhat irregular. Graded territory wools were mostly very quiet and quotations were in clined to ease. Original bags, fine territory wools, were sold at prices below those generally quoted the previous week. Demand was slow on fleece wools, but prices were fairly steady. Graded combing bright fleece wools are quoted mostly 34-36 cents in the grease for fine delaine, at 35-37 cents for half bloods and at 40-41 cents for three-eighths and quarter bloods.

BECKLEY, Associated Press Statistician. NEW YORK, July 8.—A new world order in business, if Germany should subdue England, was foreseen today by Business Week magazine. Germany, the publication pointed out, already dominates continental Europe, claiming a consumer public of 300,000,000. The British empire, by comparison, has nearly 500,000,000 consumers; the Soviet Union more than 100,000,000; the Japanese bloc about 400,000,000, and the Western Hemisphere around 225.000,000. If Germany should succeed in co ordinating and directing the ship ping of all her new “partners,” its fleet would surpass the giant mer chant marine of Great Britain. It would have more electric power at its command than the United States, a textile empire second only to the British, and would be king pin in a market for our goods which is only a little smaller than the huge Brit ish Empire. This is only a tentative appraisal, Business Week said, of the way trading bloos may shape up after the 21 American republics have dis cussed their scheme for a Western Heisphere cartel, Germany and England have settled their argu ment, and Japan has established her new order in the Orient.

Gain in 1939 Farm Income Is Reported by Bureau By the Associated Press. The Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics reported todav that gross farm income in the United States ! last year was $9,769,000,000, as against $9,362,000,000 in 1938. The total for 1937 was $10,569. 000.000 and for 1936. $9,915,000,000. Gross income includes cash in come from sale of farm products during the calendar year, the value , at average prices of products re ! tained for home consumption and Government payments to farmers. Cash income from marketings in 1939. the bureau said, amounted to $7,733,000,000, compared with $7. 590,000.000 in 1938, an increase of about 2 per cent. The value of products retained for home con ! sumption declined from $1,290,000. !000 in 1938 to $1,229,000,000 in 1939 because of lower prices of many important products. Government payments under the agricultural conservation program were $807, 000.000 last vear, as against $482, 000.000 in 1938. Loan Rates on 1940 Wheat Fixed in Maryland The loan values on the 1940 crop of eligible soft red winter wheat stored in approved warehouses or acceptable farm storage in the counties of Maryland are an nounced by R. O. Stelzer. State : executive officer for the A. A. A. For Baltimore. Caroline. Carroll. | Cecil. Frederick, Harford, Kent, ! Montgomery. Queen Annes, Talbot and Washington Counties the loan rate is 75 cents a bushel for No. 2 | wheat. The rate for that grade of wheat in Dorchester County is 74 : cents The rate for No. 1 wheat is 1 cent higher than for No. 2 wheat, and the rate for No. 3 wheat is 2 cents lower than No. 2. Deductions will be made from the loan rate for the applicable grade at the rate of 2 cents for “light garlicky," 6 cents for “garlicky." 3 cents for “light smutty" and 6 cents for “smutty." For additional information re garding wheat loans, farmers are advised to get in touch with their county agent or county committee men. Rains Benefit Crops In Western Canada Special Dispatch to The Star. MONTREAL, July 8.—‘Tn the prairie provinces of Canada, crops on the whole have benefited from light to heavy rains.” the Bank of Montreal states in its current crop report. "A large percentage of yie wheat is in shot blade, with early-sown fields heading out, and coarse grains are growing well. Moisture condi tions in Manitoba are satisfactory for the present. In’ Alberta and | Saskatchewan, generally, good rains are needed to maintain present prospects, particularly in Central and Northern Saskatchewan and Southern Alberta. “Grasshoppers are prevalent and have caused serious damage in Southeastern Alberta and South western Saskatchewan. Pastures are in good condition in Alberta and Manitoba, but are only fair in Sas katchewan.” Loans on Securities Reach Record Low By the Associates Press. NEW YORK. July 8.—Federal Re serve member banks in New York City loaned *262,000.000 to brokers and dealers in securities during the week ended July 3, the lowest amount on record. The total was more than half of the comparable week last year and *14,000.000 below the preceding week. Since mid-May brokers’ loans have been steadily contracting. Security dealers said the decline was due largely to the desire of stock buyers to maintain their ac counts in as liquid condition as possible. In other words more pur chasers are paying cash and buying issues outright rather than buying on margin. Dividend Is Declared NEW YORK, July 8. (Special).— Directors of Allegheny Ludlum Steeel Corp., have declared a quar terly dividend of *1.75 on the pre ferred stock, payable September 3, to holders of record August 15. Steel Rate to Climb Y To 86.4 Per Cent in 0 Current Week H Sharp Recovery From Holiday Lull Seen By Institute By th« Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 8—Steel mill operating schedules will rebound to 86.4 per cent of capacity this week after the Fourth of July holiday had reduced output to 74.2 per cent In the preceding week, the American Iron & Steel Institute estimated today. The current week was a shade un der the 86.5 rate prevailing before the holiday week. A month ago operations were 84.6 per cent of capacity and a year ago, 49.7. CLEVELAND, • July 8 OP).—The magazine Steel said today "some small buying for defense purposes is being done but full weight of such requirements is still in the future. "Many steel consumers are seek ing to increase inventories to fur nish a supply In case <governmental» priorities are put into effect.” The July 4 holiday cut last week’s steel operations 14 points to 75 per cent of capacity. A rebound this week to the previous rate of nearly 90 per cent is likely. Many mill schedules are stepped up to meet delivery requirements and to make progress against mounting order backlog. "Deliveries in some products, nota bly bars, are falling several weeks behind,” the magazine said. "Most low-priced sheets bought last spring have been delivered and this makes way for new demand, which is heavy.” This year's pig iron output to July 1, totaling 21.042.643 tons, was the highest first-half production since 1937. when furnaces made 22,143.895 tons. The industry turned out 14 - 023,668 tons in the first half of 1939. Active blast furnaces on June 30 totaled 181, the highest since last December, when 191 were in blast. A new schedule for structural steel extras, effective July 1, includes changes in size, quantity and length extras, new classifications and list ings. The new schedule, supplanting that of 1938, was announced by Car negie-Illinois and "is expected to be followed by other producers.” Steel’s composite of steelworks scrap is off 24 cents to $18.83, the iron and steel composite down 4 cents to $37.72 and the finished steel composite steady at $56.60. Store Volumes Remain Steady During June Bj the Associated Press Reports to the Federal Reserve Board indicate that department store sales during June remained at the May level, contrary to a cus 1 tomarv decline, raising the board's adjusted index to 93 for the first six months of this year, sales were 4 per cent higher than for the first half of 1939. -.
