Business —and— Finance

By Un’t"! Prut DETROIT. .Tulv It.—Walter P. Chrysler, president of Chrysler Motors, predicts ‘marked developments in the decentralization of American industry,” in an interview in today’s issue of the financial magazine, Money Markets and Investments." ‘‘Rent, taxes, labor and sources of raw material are the economic forces operating to bring about decentralization—the establishment of units of large corporations in smaller communities throughout the country,” said Chrysler. ‘Manufacturing plants with practically all their units now centralized in large urban localities, with high rents, taxes, and labor costs, are beginning to see the wisdom of cutting these costs by moving to smaller and cheaper communities where they are also closer to raw materials." Chrysler continued. ‘Cotton mills, have gone from New England to the rural south and printing plants from their New York stronghold to small mid-west towns. "California is dotted with innumerable small industrial plants and in the automobile industry the value of assembly plants at places remote from *he factory is not only feasible but has proved a sound economic principle."

Chrysler predicted new automobile production records of 4.750.030 cars this year and estimated United States and Canada will export a million automobiles during the year. •VTT WTMC TON. Del..

KNIGHTS URGED TO IMPROVE POLITICS

Revision of Juvenile Crime Code Also Suggested at Convention.

Calhoun, international director. Atlanta. Ga.. in addressing the sixth international convention at the Lincoln today. “I am led to believe that members of local tables, working as individuals, may be able in time to improve political standards and. render service that can not be estimated in community value." he said. At* the forenoon session William C. Knoelk. Milwaukee, told of the influence of historic Arthurian legends on present day idealism in an address on "The Influence of the Ideals of Round Table Upon Literature and Drama." Ross Lockridge.

WHEAT RALLIES TO REGAIN LOSS; CORN, OATS UP Heavy Selling Forces Prices Down Despite Low Crop Estimate, By United Pret CHICAGO. July 11.—Wheat rallied to above its extremely low prices, and closed with most of its gains today, when reports from all parts of the Cana'dian and American wheat belts indicated conditions, more bullish than as estimated in the official statements. Corn and oats regained strength as wheat reversed its trend. At the close wheat was ■% to If higher; corn was up to 'Sc. and oats were '* to , ' v c higher. Provisions were little changed. Although the official reports on the Canadian and the United States wheat crops indicated a decrease of 275.000.000 bushels from the total North American output in 1928. Liverpool showed little, excitement over the figures. After a fractionally higher start, at Chicago, selling. persistent, and heavy, forced prices down so that stop-loss orders were uncovered before mid-session. Rains in Kansas did not retard movements and hedging pressure attracted more attention. Cash prices were 1 to 2 cents lower. Receipts were flfi cars. Corn was higher early on an estimated decrease of nearly 200.000.000 bushels in the domestic crop, but soon fell below previous closing level as wheat suffered sharp reductions. No country sales were reported overnight. Shipping sales early were 75.000 bushels at prices unchanged to •% cent lower. Receipts were 123 cars. Oats were the relatively strong grain most of the time, although experiencing minor fractional losses due to weakness in the major cereals. The government's report was considered bullish. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were 44 cars. Chicago Grain Tabic - Jll IV 1 * WHEAT Prev. Hmh Lot. '9:09. '•lost.

MOTOR INDUSTRY, SEES RECORD YEAR

O'CONNOR L'n'ted Press Staff Correspondent DETROIT, July 11.—With the first half of 1929 breaking all production records, the automotive industry this week looked with confidence to a year which probably will establish production schedules which can not be exceeded for another two or three years. The first, six months output, of 3.500.000 units equaled Ihe first eight months production in 1925. After an expected midsummer slump, retail .sales unexpectedly jumped in the last week of June, according to automobile topics magazines and the sales of used cars also increased. But while manufacturers are counting greater profits than ever, dealers’ problems rapidly are approaching a critical situation. “Profitless prosperity" was the report of one dealer and general dealer opinion is that interest and storage charges on overstocked cars are making deep cuts into profits already slashed by used car allowances. One factory is co-operating by not shipping any cars in July. The sales records are mainly those

The school, with an enrollment of 125, is directed by Mrs. G. R. Mitchell. On a report of a “murder'’ at 936 West Michigan street today, police found Mrs. Sarah Seewall, 33. Negro. that address, had made the call when, she said. Lucius Jaddis. 35, Neero. of 1046 Holborn street, threatened her after an argument. Police arrested Jaddis on charges of a=sault and battery and vagrancy, and Elmer Thompson. 22, Negro, of 453 Agnes street, on a charge of vaerancy and interfering with an officer.

of Ford and Chevrolet, bus, Auburn, Packard and the new Marquette also are booming. The Ford company, with a daily output, of almost 9.000 units, looks for further increase in July. Many companies are closed for inventory or vacation periods. In others a slower rate of operations is effective, owing to seasonal conditions. During June the tots! production was around the 600,000 mark. Many Unfilled Orders Unfilled Ford orders on books are reported to exceed 275,000. Chevrolet built 151.297# units in June, which exceeded by 20,000 the best, previous June in the history of the company. The Chevrolet sixcylinder output on July 1 was 845,469 cars and trucks. Following Ford and Chevrolet in Tune production order were Chrysler. Hudson, Willys-Overland. Studebaker. Oldsmobile. Graham-Paige, Packard. Auburn. Reo, Hupp. Cadillac and Franklin. Production for the last half of the year is expected to exceed 2.500.000 units. New models bv one of the oldest and largest manufacturers will be announced soon. So confident is this company that the new line will be received enthusiastically that, its normal output of 10.000 cars monthly is being triplea this month.

South America Studied Besides production, interest, now is centering on the hearings on the automobile tariff before the senate finance committee. Asa pavt of the program for internationalizing motor transport, the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce is sending the manager of its export department. George p. Bauer, on an extended trip to South America and Africa. Starting at Panama, he pill pass down the west coast of South America, visiting Ecuador. Peru. Bolivia, Chile and Argentine and from there go north to Uruguay and Brazil. Bauer also will go to Berlin to confer with tlie German gasoline tax commission and sail from Cherbourg for the United States about Christmas. The sale of the Willys-Overland company by John N. WUlys was regarded with interest here. WiUys' return of $24,000,000 represents an investment of slightly more than SIO,OOO he made in the old Overland company twenty-two years aeo. He never has driven an automobile, but his company has developed many automotive improvements. The Willys deal may be the first step information of another huge automobile combine.

In the Stock Market

ißv Thomson & McKinnon 1 NEW YORK. July 11.—Futher relief in the already improved credit strain is clearly forecast, not only by the views of bankers who regard the mid-year strain as over, but also by the treasury department 's decision to purchase. $75,000,000 in government bonds. It is quite illogical to suppose the government would reenter the bond market unless easier money was clearly foreshadowed. Although some authorities anticipate a moderate recession in the loans statement, today, even should they advance we would not be inclined to take them too seriously. There can be no doubt that investment trusts have been materially adding to their holdings. This is clearly revealed in the listing application of the United Corporation, showing substantial additions to stockholdings. Bearing in mind that the foremost bankers of the world guide the policies of this company, we can not sec any reason for investors to do otherwise than maintain a confident attitude toward the market.
