Government Buying Keeps Business Vigorous and Earnings Dip
Last week industrial production revived with strong output while government seizure of steel mills dominated discussions. Bethlehem Steel posted first quarter earnings of 1.80 a common share, typical of a pattern of higher sales with lower profits across many firms. Oil earnings outpaced year-ago figures as Dun and Bradstreet noted a broad production rebound aided by government orders, though consumers remained cautious and retail trade held near the prior week. Price cuts by General Electric and Brown Shoe accompanied a modest rise in the cost of living led by rents and services.
