Wall Street Trade Agreements Have Important Bearing on General Business. BY KALFti UfcNDtKhUOl Tim.* lintirul Writer
■f IT ALL Street anxiously awaited W and has been waiting ever since congress adjourned—lor a clear expression of the administration's policies by President Roosevelt. It is hopeful aiso that the Pre ident will toss out the olive oranch to business now that terms demanded earlier have been
nearly all enacted into law. The President holds an un u s u a 1; amount of power over the nation’s financial and 4 business poll- t cies. this pow- ; er having been given to j him by con-j pta Cone-: q u e n t ly his | every word , and action is | c o irmanding i

most attention in the hope that hey will provide some clew as to his leanings a a a , POME months ago the big issue O seemed to be to get commodity prices back to 1926 levels. This has not been accomplished, and of late' little has been said about it. Wall Street Ls wondering whether the idea has been abandoned or further inflation will be ordered in an attempt to carry out the original intent. The President’s international trade plans also are eagerly awaited. The raising or lowering of tariffs and other trade agreements always has an important bearing I on general business. It is quite dis- ' ficult for many companies to lay j plans for the future or to make credit arrangement* so long as such questions remain unanswered a m a IN all probability the President’s, plans will be made known before the fall elections roll around. In fact this would seem quite necessary. Whether the Chief Executive wishes to get mixed up in local politics or j not the public will be voting on the i New Deal to a very large extent j when it casts its ballots for congressman. And those who are run- j nmg for office will be put in an embarrassing position if they are j unable to tell their constituents what it is all about. Some silver advocates have be-! come cis itisfied with the wa; the | treasury department has been car- j ryuig out the dictates of congress J regarding the white metal. Thej point is ntide that silver for July j delivety is selling nearly 100 points j lower here than in London, indicat- j ing, it is claimed, that buying is not! going ahead here, as was promised, j In fact, charges have been made! that the government has been sell- j ing some of its silver.

MOTOR SHARES HIT NEW LOWS IN FINAL, TRADE Profit Sales Force General List Down Fractions to 2 Points. BY ELMER C. WALTER tinted Pres* Financial Editor NEW YORK, June 30.—Prices j eased fractions to more than 2 i points in a dull session on the Stock Exchange yesterday. Lows of j the day were made in the last half hour of trading. Meanwhile, sugar , was about steady, while cotton lost a few points. Rubber and silver gained. The dollar firmed. Probably the principal reason for the lethargy was the attitude of the financial community over President Roosevelt's speech delivered over the radio last night. Traders had anticipated remarks that would be bullish on the markets. Instead the President omitted all reference to future acts, especially pertaining to the dollar and to commodity prices. Steel Issues Weaken Steel shares were weakest in late! dealings, influenced by posting of reduced prices on many steel products. United States Steel lost a point and the preferred more than a point. Others of the group were down correspondingly. Further selling came into the automobile shares. Auburn Auto made a record low aroufid 22, against a previous close of 25. Nash made a new low for the year at 15 x ft , off %. Chrysler lost more than a point and General Motors nearly a point. Proit-taking in silver issues brought the group down from 1 to more than 2 points with United Smelting the heaviest loser. Silver futures were fairly active at times at rising prices. The latter market has little influence on silver mining companies since they can sell their product direct to the treasury at 64 1 * cents an ounce, against current market quotations around 46 cents. The railroad had bullish news in the form of a $50,000,000 bond offering for Pennsylvania railroad and a rise in car loadings caused mostly by heavier movement of grain. They declined with the general list, however, with New York Central. Atchison and Southern Railway off more than a point each. Utilities Off Slightly Amusements were still under the! influence of summer decline in at-! tendance at the movies, although I losses were smaller than in recent! sessions. Loew s was steadied by a | report that its earnings were holding up well. American Telephone lost nearly 2 points and Western union a point in the communications. Utilities were slightly lower. Stock sales yesterday aproximated 440.000 shares against 640.000 shares Thursday. Curb sales were 114 shares against 176.000 shares Thursday.

Public Bank Deposits at Highest Point in History
Increase of $1,000,000,000 Shown Since End of February. BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 30.—A 1.000,000,000 increase in the public’s bank deposits since the end of February was claimed yesterday by government bank authorities. This four-month gain was believed to have been one of the largest in American banking history. It does not Include a sharp rise in government deposits or deposits of banks in one another which may bring the gain in total bank deposits in this period to nearly $3,000,000,000. In other words, the $1,000,000,000 gain in the public’s deposits reflects "real” accumulated savings of American individuals and corporations. Bank “Call” Expected. Official figures on the huge gain will not be available for several months when federal and state officials compile figures from the end of June calls for condition statements. It was regarded as virtually certain today that comptroller of currency J. F. T. O’Connor would issue a ‘-call” for the condition of the country’s national banks before the end of this week. For the past twenty years the treasury in each year has called for the condition of national banks at the end of June. The March bank '‘call” was resumed three months ago in an effort to publicize improved banking conditions. It showed that banks were regaining hundreds of millions of lost deposits. Even better showings are expected in this week’s call for condition. The gain in “real” deposits since March in the country’s 15,600 operating banks was believed today to have brought the country’s savings backlog in deposits to around the $40,000,000,000 mark, or $320 for every man, woman and child in the country. Rapid Recovery Shown Including deposits of banks in one another and nearly $1,000,000,000 in deposits of the United States government, it was estimated today that bank deposits have reached $46,000,000,000, compared with less than $39,000,000,000’ at the close of the 1933 banking holiday. The rapid recovery of the public’s bank deposits exclusive of deposits of banks in another, since the March. 1933, banking holiday is shown by the following official figures: Total nate Banks Total Deposits Dec 31 1929 24.630 $55,289,000,000 June 30, 1930 23,852 • 54,954,000,000 Dec 31 1930 22,769 53.039.000,000 June 30 1931 21,903 51,782,000,000 Dec 31 1931 19.666 45,821,000,000 June 30. 1932 19,046 41,963,000,000 Dec 31 1932 18,390 41.643,000,000 March 30. 1933 12,800 38,000,000,000.

GRAIN MARKET SLUMPS UNDER LATE ASSURE Profit-Taking and Hedging Sales Reduce Prices Near Close. BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Financial Writer CHICAGO, June 30.—Hedging pressure and profit-taking swept through the wheat pit on the Chicago Board of Trade yesterday and most of Thursday s advance wa3 reduced. Wheat finished weak, off 1% to 1% cents, corn was off 2% to 2% cents and oats was : ;s to a cent lower. Wheat opened firm, but when tha hedging pressure became heavy prices slipped below the previous finish. Tire forecast for lower temperatures and showers brought sellers into corn early and this led a downturn in other grains. Scattered Rains Reported Aggressive buying of wheat, corn and oats by commission houses, so prominent yesterday, was lacking today. Although scattered showers were reported over parts of Illinois, intense heat generally prevailed over the belt. Crop comments from the American and Canadian northwest were decidedly spotted. Liverpool closed to % cent lower in dull trading. A tentative estimate on the United States wheat supply, made by th bureau of agricultural economics, showed a prospective total of 765,000,000 bushels for the 1934-35 season. The estimate, based on the crop outlook as of June 1, was viewed with some interest by the trade. Oats in Fair Demand ' Supplies for the 1933-34 season were 918,000.000 bushels, while two years ago they were 1,129,000,000 and three years ago 1,257,000,00. Scattered selling cropped out In the Winnipeg wheat market and the export demand was slow. Although a fair class of buying was in evidence in oats, this grain and rye and barley eased with other grains during most of the day. Provisions were somewhat firmer early, but lost much of their gains. FIRM REPORTS PROFIT Beatrice Creamery Net Earnings in Quarter Total $148,077. By 'l ime* Special CHICAGO.

Sales in the quarter were $12,389,486, an increase of 20.91 per cent In dollar value over the same period last year. U. S.TtEEL PLANNING NEW WIRE, ROD MILL' Four Sites in Chicago Area Being Considered for Project.
