THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD. N. C FRIDAY. MAY 27, 1938 PAGE SEVEN P 4 A' 1) New York, May 23. Bustoess- While pricei continue to weave an un cerUin course, with no riear-cut dis trend discernible, - inanjr economists and buaineai men believe ' wt the lows have been touched. Food nrices. after sinking tfr a four-year low two weeks ago, moved slightly upward last week, with recovery in oats. lard, cms, potatoes, steers, hogs and lambs. Chicago July wheat, however, slumped to 76 cents a bushel, lowest since April, 1984, as traders anticioated bumper crops in fcoth the Uk S. amT'Canada. Prices of steel for third quarter delivery will be unchanged from the current quarter, thereby enabling mainte nance of present wage scales. But copper, which has held at 10 cents a pound since January, was cut one cent a pound. Anthracite coal will go up 25 cents a ton on June 1. Washington. With congressmen becoming increasingly anxious to get home for their re-election campaigns it looks now as if Congress will wind up between June 1 and June 15. The chances for wages and hours legisla tion, in the opinion of many observ ers, now appear slim. On the other hand, the lending-spending bill, as ousHned by President Roosevelt over the radio last month, is believed er tain to go through with only minor amendments. The increasing se riousness of the railroad situation, with the unions threatening a nation wide strike if proposed pay cuts of 15 go into effect July 1, is being viewed with real alarm in the Capitol. Play Safe. The current drive to increase motoring safety by replac ing worn tires is meeting real suc cess, according to the Rubber Manu facturers Association. More than 59,000,000 auto tires are smooth or will become so during 1938, the asso ciation estimates, and the new tires needed to correct this situation will mean half a billion dollars worth of sales. Numerous car owners, it is said, are replacing tires, which though not worn out, lack the greatly improved tread designs introduced this year. One manufacturer, for in stance, now makes a tire with a novel tread design consisting of bars set at 80-degree angles which simu late the action of a windshield wiper in drying pavements. Luxuries. While demand has fall en off for certain luxury and semi luxury goods this year, the Ameri can public has not curtailed its buy ing of sporting goods and pianos, according to a survey conducted among ""36 department stores by Northwestern National Life Insur ance Co. In the first quarter, output of cameras and lenses was op more than 20 per cent, reflecting continu ance of the candid camera hobby. Far East Trade. Foreign trade figures for the first quarter indicate that China is a booming market for American goods. Exports to China, including goods shipped via Hong Kong and Kwantung, increased 22 per cent over the first quarter last year, while shipments to Japan drop ped 19 per cent. China bought more automobiles and parts, gasoline, cop per and cotton. Japan, on the other hand, reduced its purchases of Amer ican cotton, scrap iron and steel, oil, scrap copper, autos and lumber. Do You Know That World pro duction of shoes is estimated at one billion pairs annually, while world population is more than two billion persons. . . State gasoline taxes amounted to $761,998,000 in 1937, eoial to $25.74 for each car and truck registered At the year end. . . .Cast year 60 per cent of the money paid out by U. S. Life Insurance compan ies went to living policy holders and only 40 per cent to beneficiaries of dead ones. . . . Annual expenditure for national advertising made by manufacturers of drug and toilet products is equal, it is estimated, to about $2,200 for each retail drug store in the U. S. Graduation. "Soda jerkers" are becoming "Fountaineers," in the drug and candy stores of America. Soda fountain operation requires both skill and sales- ability, say backers of the movement to improve the position of the druorsrist and his employees in public esteem. A Cleveland chain, with 45 fountains, celebrated the "graduation" of its employees with a Fountaineer Sundae. Made with coconut-pineapple ice cream, frozen fudge and whipped cream, 25,000 of these sundaes at 15 cents each were sold in two weeks, it is reported. Headlines. Cotton spinning indus try operated at 85.7 per cent of ca pacity in April compared with 146.7 per cent a year ago. . . . National Power & Light Co. agrees to sell its subsidiary, Tennessee Public Service Co., to TVA and Knoxville for $7,900,000 .... Railroad cirloadings rise 1.1 per cent .... Average weekly wage paid by chain grocery meat and fish stores in New York State increased 3.9 per cent in March from March, 1937 .... Early busi ness recovery in U. S. predicted in annual report of International Labor office of League of Nations. Jones, of week-end CENTER HILL Mr. and Mrs. J. S.
