WV jr si i ttmmm whrnmihtifrftiwif tiiiiiivniin nvrrt'mhitii mm lie By DOROTHEA M. BROOKS New York (UPI) The promise of rigid plastic piping in home plumbing should be realized to some extent this year and by 1970 all-plastic installations should be common, according to the trade. The pipe and fittings already are available. How soon they can be installed in most U.S. homes is going to depend not so much on the manufacturers, who are geared for production, but on the speed with which national standards groups and state and local building code authorities act to facilitate its use.

A LOUISVILLE fittings manufacturer, Tube Turns Plastics affiliate of Chem Corporation, says some installations of all-plastic piping in home plumbing will begin to appear this year in areas where special building code exceptions can be obtained. "Best guess by manufacturers is that city-or state-wide REALTOR HONORED William W.

The Associated Press average of 60 stocks was up .8 at 223.6 with industrials ahead to a slight premium. This week's corporate calendar shows little major new financing to be opened at competitive bidding. THERE WAS more news in government financing, however.

The Treasury said its latest and biggest advance refunding was a big success, with public investors accepting of new securities ma turing in five to 10 vears. The Canadian government also entered the picture. For the first time in 12 vears it made a direct entrv into the New York bond market and negotiated a 25-year, 5 per cent, $250,000,000 issue. The money will be ued to reinforce the country's exchange reserves. Milk Surpluses Up Rut Production Down Washington (AP) Milk production per person in this country is declining and yet surpluses continue to pile up.

An Agriculture Department report showed yesterday that August milk production was the equivalent of 1.77 pounds a dairy per person, compared with 1.81 pounds a year ago and 1.99 pounds for the 10-year August average. Total production of milk during the first einht months of this year was 87.940,000,-000 pounds or about 1 per cent mor than in the like period last year. But the increase in population was more than this, reducing the per capita supply. Steel Profits May Fall New York (AP) Steel's financial picture will get worse before it gets better, but improvement should not be too far off, says Value Line Investment Survey. It said earnings will fall in the September quarter and that some dividends may be endangered.

But modernization programs should begin paying off in better profits in years to come. Airplane Sales To Get New York (AP) Trading generally was dull. Price changes were small, and by the end of last week the gains and loses in the bond markets had nearly averaged off to a standstill. It was, nevertheless, a lively week. IN AX AREA of finance characterized by traditions a tradition was broken.

The United States Treasury announced it would offer bonds on a competitive basis. Heretofore the Treasury itself fixed interest and other terms and sold the bonds on a subscription basis. Under the new plan, an experiment, a block of in long-term bonds will be put up for competitive bidding within the next six months. The announcement caught bondsmen by surprise, and much of Friday's activity was concerned with talk of form ing syndicates to purchase the Treasury issue whenever offered. Little trading was done.

FRIDAY'S corporate vol ume on the New York Stock Exchange fell to $3,440,000 par value, lowest of the week. The entire week's total was only $19,940,000, compared with $16,430,000 in the pre vious holiday-shortened trad ing week. Prices gave this appearance: Among governments, most of the distant maturities closed around 1232 higher than on the previous week's close. The 3'2s of 19P0, for example jumped to 92 632 from 91 2632. In the corporate sector, the Associated Press Averages showed rails up 0.3 at 77.7, industrials unchanged at 9S.3, utilities lower bv 0.2 at 88 and foreigns down 0.1 at 86.8.

IN NEW financing, an issue of $50,000,000 AA rated Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Company 4 38s due 2002, offered at a 4.27 per cent basis, received only a mild re ception. The offering of BAA rated Tennessee Gas Transmission 5s of 1982, offered at a 4.90 per cent basis, was sold out and went trading. Monday it was late buying that cut earlier losses to produce a mixed day. Tuesday there was a late sinking spell. Almost all of Wednesday's gain was recorded in final trading, while Thursday's market turned lower in final trading.

Friday's rise wasn't established until the closing minutes. There was some major business-economic news but in general it failed to influence the market to any important degree. Analysts were hopeful the week's gain meant the start of the widely expected post-Labor Day rally. Many weren't any longer so sure there would be one. The government reported that before-tax profit of corporations hit a record annual rate during the June quarter, that personal income in August was $1,000,000,000 above July on a seasonally adjusted basis, and that total August cash dividends paid by corporations issuing public reports exceeded a year ago by 6 per cent.

On the minus side the average weekly pay of factory workers and seasonally adjusted factory work week wore both down in mid-August. VOLUME failed to exceed 3,100,000 on any day, compared with the eight month daily average of almost 3,800,000. For the week volume totaled 14,634,055 shares compared with 12,095,568 in the four sessions last week. Of 1,455 issues traded, 679 advanced and 596 declined. There were 62 lows for the year and 12 new highs.

Oils, motors, electronics and growth stocks made some of the week's best gains. Polaroid was the most active stock for three days and run-nerup the other two. It also was the most active for the second straight week, gaining 1 1 5 at 128 on 292,600 shares. far more severe than home conditions, without incurring pinhole leaks or rusting at the joints. IN ADDITION, the plastics are light in weight, running around one-sixth that of metals.

They will not conduct electricity, can be joined in a manner that makes them permanently leakproof and impervious to encroaching tree roots in outdoor locations. They have low heat conductivity that minimizes possibility of accidental burns and moisture-dripping, and smooth internal surfaces that reduce the likelihood of clogged waste drainage lines. Although initial cost of materials probably will run slightly higher than for comparable metals, Tube Turns estimates that this will be offset by immediate savings of 30 to 40 per cent in the cost of installation and further by reduced maintenance costs. Lower over-all costs will reflect in good measure the ease and speed with which new pipe and fittings may be assembled. For instance, Tube Turns pointed out.

a plumber, working from scratch, can make a joint in less than one minute, in sharp contrast with the difficulties that often arise in the threading of steel, sweating of copper or caulking of cast iron joints. 10 Are Named Youth Advisers Ten Marion County young people have been named as members of the Youth Advisory Committee, a state-wide adjunct of the Governor's Youth Council.

In a statement, the association said its traditional position has been that the factors of supply of cattle and consumer demand for meat should be permitted to determine livestock prices. The association said any recent downturn in beef production largely reflected producer sales of cattle at lighter weights than a year ago. The association said it was not concerned about temporary upturns in meat prices. It said later increase in marketings of heavier animals would bring price acceptance of plastics will begin snowballing in a year or two, starting in areas that have been most progressive in the past about recognizing new building materials," the company said. Most recent developments, and the ones that have made complete plastic piping systems feasible, are those of the first plastic pipe that can handle hot water economically, and a line, of fittings that are slimmed down from bulkier industrial proportions and designed expressly for household hot-and-cold water service at municipal water supply pressure, Tube Turns said.

Hfhouse-, Chief benefit of the thermoplastics aa far as homeowners are concerned, is the likelihood that plastic pipings probably will outlive the house as far as corrosion is concerned. According to Tube Turns, all are capable of withstanding indefinitely industrial corrosion attacks the Lincoln Hotel.

Boars over 300 pounds $13 to sM, boars 200 to 300 pounds $14 TO Grain Report Chicago (AP)-Selling pressure was almost constant and sometimes heavy in all the grain futures pits except soybeans last week on the Board of Trade. Losses ranged from a small fraction In corn to almost 6 cents In wheat, while soybeans ran toward strength and posted gains running to well over 5 cents. Then only bullish fador during the period was The governments September crop report, Issued Tuesday, which brokers said contained the surprise ol the year with Its estimate of soybean yield.

The Department of Agriculture fort-cast the soybean crop at only bushels, far below any previous prediction. Only few days earlier, a private survey estimated the crop would be about 700,000,000. Even that figure was believed by some brokers to be too low in view of numerous advices during the month which Indicated prospects had been rather well maintained. The government's September figure was off obout 33,000.000 bushels from the August outlook, due principally to deterioration of the crop In the Mid-south. The new estimate, If materialized, would be very little above requirements for the next crop year and could be less, brokers said, if demand should become unusually heavy any time during the year.

The report sent prices broadly higher In Wednesday's trade and they held well aqainst flurries of profit selling thereofter. Additional support came to the September contract as tenders on commitments in the pit dwindled. Conflicting reports and opinions on progress by the House and Senate conference committees toward oqreement on the 1963 farm program kept wheat and corn on the defensive most of the time. Speculators expressed fear that Congress might adourn without enocting a new low and thus allow next year program to revert to the one in effect in 1958 If that should happen, they said, price supports would be reduced. Speculators, therefore, were inclined to shun tbe long side of the market.

Wheat was 4Vj to 5i cents a bushel lower than a week ago, September corn '4 cent hiqher to l1 cents lower, September oats to 1 cent lower, September 64i cents; rye cent to T'-i cents lower, September soybeans 2J4 to S5 cents higher, September 1.19"r RANGE OF PRICES FOR THE WEEK Close WHEAT High Low Sep.14 Sep 7 September 109.4 204 204 i 209 2 December 215.7 210.1 211 215.7 March 270 5 214.1 215 270 6 May 211 211 211.1 311 CORN September 108 5 104 4 1077 107 5 December 108.6 1067 107.S 1077 March 112.1 110 4 111.1 111 May 1141 111.1 1114 114 5 July 117.4 V5.1 115 117 OATS- Seotember 45.1 41 64 1 65.1 December 44 2 66.4 47 1 March 49.2 47.6 68 1 69 May 49 4 48 68 St i July 47.7 45 7 66 6 47.5 RYt September 120.1 114 119.4 120 4 December 121.1 117.4 1201 121.4 March 121.4 119.4 172 124 May 124 2 120 121 1 124.4 SOYBEANS September 244 234 1 242 4 M7.1 November 240 4 234 4 138 1 135 4 January 244.1 237.4 241.6 238 7 March 247.4 341.4 241.1 May 350 2 142 4 247 7 244 4 July 250 6 344 4 348.4 3447 August 348.4 344.2 346.4 LARD (Drums!
