a a a JUNE 25, 1934 THE EAGLE NEWS PAGE SEVEN BUSINESS SEES HOPEFUL SIGNS Activity in Trade, Industry It above Expectations of A Few Weeks Ago 6 NEW YORK, June 24 dustry, and trade have approached the end of the quarter of 1934 with A volume activity substantially above that expected some weeks ago, The movement of railway freight has risen close to the spring peak reached in March, with merchandise shipments reaching the best levels for this time since Electric power production statistics showed a small gain registering the highest figure since close to the year's peak. Steel, automobiles and electrical appliances still well in the lead of in Industrial activity, while several the consumers goods lines such textiles and shoes, which enjoyed such spectacular recovery year ago, somewhat under the levels of this time 1933. The third quarterly period is usually substantially below the second, and business is now wondering how well operations can be maintained before the stimulus of autumn is felt. Outlook Better On the whole, the summer outlook Is regarded 1 more cheerfully than it WAS A few weeks ago. A substantial letdown in steel mill activity seems clearly indicated, in view of the rush of business under expiring second quarter contracts, which has almost swept the order books bare.

The steel makers themselves must don considerable manufacturing to out their own depleted inventortes. and automobile makers are now planning somewhat output for July than they contemplated A month or two ago. Nevertheless, some authorities estimate that July steel production may drop to 40 per cent of capacity. Lowered prices have stimulated auturers tomobile are keeping production, up and their output remarkably for this time of year. Carloadings and electric power production are still holding above 1933, but the margin gain is narrowing, because of the abnormal early summer boomlet of last year.

Freight carloadings as reported for the week ended June 16 were up 0.3 per cent from the previous week, and 4.2 per cent over the like week of 1933. Electric power production likewise gained slightly over the previous week, and WAS 5.5 per cent over 1933. New England taken alone, however, fell 22 per cent under last year. I. B.

Fruit growers in the western part of the state have started the Arst cover sprays which were continued throghout the first two weeks of this month. Information on codling moth spray programs for various sections of New York is given in Circular No. 140 issued by the station and available upon request. "Because of sectional and local differences in the degree of codling moth infestation, it is not possible to recommend single spray program for this pest that will be applicable to all parts of the state," says Prof, 8. W.

Harman, in charge of the codling moth investigations at the station and author of the circular. "For this reason, the orchards of the state are classified into the three groups of light, average, and heavy infestation. The spray program to be followed in any one orchard will depend upon the class in which that orchard falls. Experiences of the past few years should be taken as a guide for determining the classification of the orchard." Lightly-infested orchards according to Prof. Harman's grouping include those plantings in which fewer than the recommended number of cover sprays have, afforded protection against the codling moth.

These orchards will be found chiefly close to Lake Ontario and in the Hudson Valley and Lake Champlain district. Orchards with infestations require applications pounds of lead arsenate for all of the first and second brood sprays. Severely infest-. ed orchards are represented by plantings in which satisfactory control has not been obtained during the past few years with the recommended lead arsenate sprays. many cases, says Prof.

Harman, control of the codling moth would doubtless be HONEY OUTPUT GOOD IN VALLEY Unlike Rest of State, Crop Will Be Nearly Normal Here, Joyce Says The honey crop in the Hudson valley will be only slightly below normal despite predictions of an extremely short crop in the rest of state. John H. Joyce, president of the Dutchess County Beekeepers' association, said last night. Good rainfall is responsible for the favorable conditions in the Hudson valley, Mr. Joyce said.

Although there are fewer bees this summer, because of the severe winter, there is more honey per colony than in the last five years. It 1s actually fact, he said, that because there are fewer bees the insects have more room in which to work and accomplish more, than when crowded. Mr. Joyce said that the small aptary on President Roosevelt's estate doing well and producing good crop of light honey. Most beekeepers have replaced with new packages the large numbers of bees which failed to esurvive the winter.

At present there is a good honey flow from clover and basswood and it is expected that there will be A good flow right through the summer to the golden rod period. Describing conditions in the state, Professor George H. Rea of the New York State College of Agriculture described the situation as "real calamity since it comes at a time when honey is being more widely used than ever and when the beekeepers might have gathered the honey and sold it a cash crop." He said that this year hundreds of beekeepers will have no crop. Mr. Joyce recalled that there was no crop in the Hudson Valley last year because of the drought.

ACCUSED OF VAGRANCY Experiencing quiet week-end, police recorded their first criminal arrest of the two-day period at 11 o'clock morning when Charles 'Gurevich, 18, laborer, of Nanticoke, WAS booked on a charge of being a tramp.

Congress Shuts Up Shop No. 3 President Keeps Up Leadership This is the third in a series of five daily articles. seventythird congress concluded its work under circumstances which left President Roosevelt even more strongly entrenched in national leadership than he was when the dramatic special session ended a year ago.

Months will pass before a new congress is elected and assembled, and meanwhile Mr. Roosevelt is armed with broad powers designed to make it certain no additional session of. the -third congress be necessary for any emergency short of a war. Only one major defeat marred the President's leadership record in the seasion just closed- the passage over his veto of a measure liberalizing veterans' allowances and restoring federal pay reductions. In only one case the senate refused sanction to his foreign relations plans, declining to ratify the St.

Lawrence waterway treaty with Canada. He was compelled to withdraw only one presidential nomination of even secondary importance due to senate objections. Presidential Victories Against that, congress wrote an exceptional record of concurrence in presidential desires. It spread on the statute books such controversial acts as those authorizring presidential "bargaining" in foreign trade through negotiated agreements not subject to senatorial review; nationalization of gold, and gold dollar devaluation; a silver bill hailed as a long step toward remonetization of the white metal; a code of federal regulation of stock markets to guard against excessive speculation. After a year's experience with the national recovery administration and the agricultural adjustment administration, congress left them virtually unchanged, except that it added compulsory feature for cotton crop I control at request of cotton growers.

June 24- -The unsettlement of secondary loans, apparently in sympathy with stocks, brought a late decline in the bond market averages last week, but prime investment issues continued to hold near their best levels of the year or longer. Aside from the firm demand for the best grade corporate categories and U.

S. government securities, dealers were highly encouraged by the quick absorption of the new $131,400,000 15- stie of per cent Federal Land bank bonds. Cash subscription books on this offering were closed shortly after the sale started on Monday. The new Joan was offered at and immediately commanded a premium of half a point or more which it held during the remainder of the week. With heavy oversubscription of the new land bank issue forcing the scaling down of allotments to 5 or 10 per cent of the requested amounts, and low record interest rates being re ceived on best names among the municipal borrowers, the financial district was further impressed by the growing movement of excess funds toward investment media of highest quality.

While various speculative corporate liens were subjected to intermittent pressure, it was considered noteworthy that some bonds of American Telephone, Consolidated Gas, Chesapeake Ohio, Santa Fe, Kansas Oity Terminal, Union Pacine and similar companies bettered their best prices for 1933 and, in a few instances, reached their highest levels since 1928.
