Curtailment Talks Shift to 75 Percent Output Pact
New York Aug 15 The day’s Broad street curb activity centered on high interest rate short term notes with quiet overall turnover. Major brokers anticipated a 75 percent curtailment of passenger car manufacture rather than 100 percent as urged by the War Industries Board, a move likely to push larger auto firms toward airplane production as seen in England and France. Market quotes lagged, with Aetna Explosives weak and Curtiss Aeroplane sale noted at 36, while United Motor and other industrials displayed modest activity amid fluctuating stock prices.
