The equipment is used in vent sets, roof venti¬ lators. bifurcators and for cooling internal combustion engines.

Other equipment in the line is designed for impact and hardness tests. Under a contract with Vickers. Ltd., of England the company is sole United States agent, for sale of Vickers hardness testers. Customers for the company's testing equipment include metal working and producing industries, foundries, highway departments, private and Government laboratories and educational institutions. Way-time, production has. brought about increased use 01 precision testing machines as nroduction tools for etep-by-steu. checktesting in metal working industries and this may lead to more general post-war use in manufacturing and construction work. .-v.

The relatively poor showing in the recent month was not unexpected and,. actually, the volume of sales was in line with the reduced output that has been in evidence throughout the war period. The unusually high total recorded for the month of May was largely the result of ihe disposal in that period of several issues of strikingly large propor¬ tions. These included offerings of $56,000,000 by the California Toll Bridge Authority and $41,533,000 by the Consumers Public Power District, Neb. In addition, the market was called upon to absorb a number of other loans of important size, such as $11,000,000 by the Chicago, 111., Board of Education, $6,400,000 Erie County, N. Y., $6,040,000 Chattanooga, Tenn., and $5,738,000 by the Memphis Hous¬ ing Authority, Tenn. During June, however, there were no sales in the $5,000,000 category, although the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York concluded a liquidation operation embracing various blocks of State and municipal bonds having an aggregate par value of $15,356,000. Offerings of this nature are not included in our tabulations, although they have become an important factor in mar¬ ket operations and serve to compensate for the reduced volume of financing negotiated by States and local taxing units per se because Rate Council 2571 of Co. & Name Cook 2572 Midland, Ont. : No. 2583 or ONTARIO,.' • Page In June And For First Toronto, upon surrender thereof with Aug. 1, 1944 and sub¬ sequent interest coupons attached. 279* Royal, _____various Que. various ___various _______ 1 to 20 years 1945-1964 of) Sillery, Que.___ 100.20 2.36 Total Canadian municipal 100.03 2.36 'Temporary financing; 225,000 1945-1954 10,000,000 3 1945-1964 64,000 1.46 100.03 bonds sold during June-— $14,455,160 not included in above tatal. 2.73 1,400,000 1945-1964 2Vs» Que.
