Forecasters report that Federal Reserve banks in seven Pacific Coast cities lent $336 million in the week ending August 31, with production at year highs in July. Auto plants prepare to push 1939 models off lines at 50 000 to 60 000 weekly, spurring steel demand and broader economic activity through October. Further gains depend on purchasing power, housing growth, and policy stability.
