Led by Autos
And Steels
New York, Jan. 31 OJ.B Outlook
for further curtailment In automo
bile production eent the stock mar
ket lower today In the face of an
otherwise favorable situation.
Thla week'a automobile output
showed only email decline from
the previous week 5.41 unlta.
against 85.735 but Ward's said
"weekly assembly totals In Febru
ary would probably be somewhat
lower than those of January."
Rumor circulated that Chrysler
corporation planned a two week
shut-down between January 35 and
February . Chrysler stock which
had sold as high as 1!4. fell to
59 'i where It was down 3 '4 points
from the previous close. General

off IS net
Selling came Into other sections,
Including steels, farm shares, some
utilities, coppers and rails. Most
issues registered losses ranging to
more than a piont. There were ex
ceptions. Including oils, which firm'
ed on news of curtailment of opera
tions in Texas.
A few other unfavorable news
items had been discounted. De
cember railroad net operating uv
come for class one roads showed a
decline of 87.3 per cent from a year
ago. Several dividend reductions
were made.
On the favorable side were a S.l
per cent in car loadings; news
from Detroit that Ford was contin
uing rehiring of men laid off
around Christmas; the president's
press conference where he said his
holding company statement did not
apply to all holding companies but
only to the non-operating variety
and outlook for a rise in steel op
erations next week. -
Utilities eased small amounts as
traders awaited the decision on the
case of a group of utilities against
TV A.

Retail Sales
Show Gain Over
Previous Week
New York, Jan. 21 (U.B Spread of
cold weather, special promotions and
further price reductions combined
to Uft retail aalea this week 1 to 4
percent above the preceding week
and S to I percent over the cor.vs
pondln, 1(37 period, Dun tc Brad-
street said today.
Activity was revived In more bran,
ches of wholesale markets by spring
buying and trade shows the g-iln
over a year ago rising to 3 to V
percent.
Snow and cold weather pushed tt-
tall winter merchandise to the top
01 shoppers' lists, the review said.
The Impact of this unanticipated
demand and the sustained lnt-at
In the aggregesslvely-conducted
clearance promotions made deeper
inroads on retailers' falling inven
tones."
There was more uniformity noted
in this week's advance, following the
uneven Improvement In the first
half of the month.
Retail sales In the New England
district rose about 2 percent over
last year, largely through drastic
price reductions, while the gain for
the east was widened to 3 to 10 per
cent.
Despite the slow upturn of em
ployment in most industrial districts.
the middle west area recorded a S
percent gam. Purchases of winter
sports merchandise lifted volume n
the northwest 4 to percent over
last year, while slackening demand
In some parts of the south pulled
down the gain for that section to S
to 9 percent. The gain in the south
west narrowed to 3 to 5 percent, not
withstanding sharp price cuts. Bust
ness on the Pacific coast dipped be
low the preceding week and was 2
to 5 percent below the 1937 period.
Pork Yieidlor
Year is Heavy
Two tons of pork per sow per
year! Here is a goal that every
practical minded 1938 pork produc
er might well shoot at. That this
goal Is within reach of every up-and-coming
hog raiser, is shown by
the 1937 production record of John
F. Allan of Sullivan county, Ind.
In his strictly pork reducing herd,
Mr. Allan raised 102 pigs from 12
sows, and in 180 days they aver
aged 240 pounds a total weight of
24.480 pounds, or 12 tons, 480
pounds.
This remarkable record was not
an unusual one for Mr. Allan be
cause he breeds his sows twice a
year and markets a ton of pork
from each, every six months.
Mr. Allen's pigs are raised from
purebred Duroc sows and their sire
is always a registered Duroc boar.
Neither are his pigs pampered and
given more than ordinary attention
Mr. Allan lets his pigs run through
a creep when they are a month old
and help themselves to all the grain
they want. His ration: 300 pounds
ground corn, 300 pounds ground
oats, 300 pounds shorts, 100 pounds
tankage, in a self-fedder. The mot
to of this great hog man Is "keep
them healthy and keep them grow
ingthat's all there is to getting a
ton of pork from a sow that will
save eight or nine pigs."

Farmers Busy
For Seeding
Washington, Jan. 21 (P) Chicago
meat packers and representatives of
western livestock producers and mar
kets told the Interstate commerce
commission today farmers would
have to bear the costs of a proposed
15 percent Increase In railroad freight
rates.
George E. Putnam, economist for
Swift and company, declared the
increase would add $15,000,000 to
transportation charges on meat and
by-products and would "consequent
ly reduce by that amount the reve
nue which farmers get from their
livestock-
The public, he contended, would
not stand for higher meat prices.
Putnam testified the loss to farm
income from the rate Increase might
run as high as $50,000,000.
Paul E. Blanchsrd, counsel for
Armour and company, testified he
believed livestock and meats should
be exempted from any rate Increase
until other commodities carried by
railroads began again to contribute
their normal shares to maintenance
of rail services.
The ICC ended hearings yesterday
on a proposed passenger railroad rate
Increase from two to two and a half
cents a mile.
J. O. Daly, representing the Unit
ed Commercial Travelers of Ameri
ca, asserted the increase would drive
business away from the railroads.

week to Pacific Hopgrowers at l&V

conference of value to women a
well as men.
Four major questions will be before
the conference, Mullen said: They
are:
What is the outlook for agricul

years?
In view of the outlook, what crops,
numbers and kinds of livestock
should be produced In the county?
What kind of land use program will
