MARSHALL. $pecial Dispatch to The Star. EWICAGO, March 29.—Spring has ©rme, but so has the ralny season, #ua business has not yet begun to feel the impetus that normally at- $eads tle new season. Nevertheless fhe big retail stores are going ahead WIth their fashion exhibits, and wom- en are turning out for them equipped with umbrellas and galoshes.. The stores are making an especial appeal this season to women who are mak- ing their own clothes. Not only are colorful fabrics being shown, but al- most life-size drawings are provided, showing how they may bé made up into attractive costumes. Men's wear® stores are pressing their advertising campaigns, but with less response than in the women's lines. Suits of a quality which com- manded $50 each last year are being sold generally at $35. Jobbers and ‘wholesalers continue to receive en- couraging reports from men on the read. “fhe industrial situation in this dis- trict is little changed this week, al- though the steel output is increasing.

New Orleans Jobbers Feel Effect of Floods’ Menace BY L V. SBHANNON, Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW ORLEANS, March ,29.—The growing menace form floods along the lower Misstssippl river is beginning to curtail business throughout the threatened sections. New Orleans jobbers are feeling its effect and ex- pect its influence on trade to grow greater before the danger is over. Notwithstanding this, there has been & perceptible improvement in the dis- tribution of merchandise. Retail trade still is quiet except in lines suitable for Easter wear. pe Finanoclal canditions are improving in this district. The Louisiana state banks have reduced their bills pay- able from $§1,000,000 to $11,500,000 in the period between January i and to date. During the same period their customers have reduced their loans $16,000,000, and deposits have in- creased $4,500,000. Figures available so far indicate a large increase in imports here this month., Revenue collections are esti- mated at about $3,000,000 larger than any sum collected here. Heavy im- portations of sugar, for which there has been a revival of demand, are largely responsible for the increase. Orders for southern pine lumber have increased 28 per cent within the week and 30 per cent since March 1. The new business is now running about 20 per cent above production. Notes.

BOSTON, March 29 (Special)—Tan- neries of American Hide and Leather Company, makers of upper leathers, are running from 50 to 100 per cent of capacity, with the average about 70 per cent.

NEW YORK, March 29.—Unusually ‘heavy. buying of, Mberty bonds was the outstanding feature of today's bond market, the demand being credited to investment interests. At midday the entire group was ‘higher by € to almost 40 cents per one hundred dollars. The first and second 4s and all of the 4i¢s rose to best quo- tations for a year or more. Today's market picked up further strength and, if anything, was broader than yesterday's market. Renewed activity occurred in many of the in- | dustrial issues. Railway mortgages, on account of the favorable February traffic’ reports, worked still higher. With few exceptions, among them the Duvh Municipal As, Mexican 5g,and Sao™ Paulo 8s, foreign government loans were unchanged. A recovery in Mexican 58, followed the rather sharp decline toward the close on the preceding day, d the Danish and Sao Paulo bonds reached record highs, New Top for Steel. The optimistic news from the steel centers found some reflection in the advance to & mew top in the United States Steel Corporation sinking fund 5s and the steadiness of Midvale Steel 5s. Sugar bonds again gained frac- tionally, and special buying came into Packard Motor 8. Kelly Springfieid 8s sold off. In- vincible Ol 8s got to 97, and the fer- tilizer and public utility issues were fi rm. Public Service of New Jersey bs broke their previous high record. United States Realty and Improve- ment §s ran Into profit taking, and so did the speculative Atlantic Fruit s. Ralls Also Score. New highs were made in the rail- way group by Southern Pacific col. lateral 4s, Southern Rallway 63s, sgain an outstanding feature, Iron Mountain 4s, Long Island refunding 4s and Norfolk and Southern B6s, while Frisco incomes, Baltimore and Ohlo 58, Pennsylvania s, Detrolt United Rallway 4%s, Illinois Central 5%, Northern Pacific prior 4s and Erie and New Jersey 6s all went up a _half point or more. - New York city traction bonds were irregular. New . Financing. Among the important new financing today was ang issue of $8,000,000 Manati Sugar Company first (closed) mortgage twenty-year Tl per cent sinking fund bonds, April 1, 1942. The bonds are non-callable, except as a whole or for sinking fund at 110 through 1936, and decreasing 1 per cent annually thereafter to 105. The sale of the issue was very satisfao- tory. The_ offering price was 100 and in- terest yielding 7% per cent. The heavy oversubscription of a block of 54.000 shares of the capl stock of the Standard OfI Company of Kentucky at $25 par value, was reported.

COTTON MARKETS. NEW YORK, March 29.—The cot- ton market showed the influence of continued steadjness in Liverpool and unfavorable ehstern belt weather conditions during today’s early trad- ing. The opening was steady at an advance of 2 points to a decline of 1 point under scattered southern sell- ing and there was also some selling of May by houses with Liverpool con- nections. These offerings were readily absorbed, however, with New Orleans and some of the local spot houses amohg the buyers on the advance which carried May up to 17.83 and July to 17.24 or about 3 to 7 points. Futures opened steady, May, 17.78; July, 17.18; October, 16.76; December, 16.63; January, 16.56. NEW ORLEANS, March 29.—Further rains In the belt caused a rise of 1 to 5 points around the opening of the cotton market today, but scattered selling met this slight advance and at the end of the first half hour of ‘trading prices wers 1 to 4 points un- der the close of yesterday. May traded up to 16.54, and fell back to J6.S. Futures opened quiet; May, 16.5 July, 16.39; October, 16.0 15.86; January, 15.72. DULLNESS IS UNCHANGED. Dry Goods Sales Are Slow—Sheet- . ings Feature.

Be- sides, some authoritles were predict- Ing an improvement soon in export demand. It was contended that Eu- ropean stocks and breadstuffs were unusually small. The opening, which varied from unchanged figures to % advance, with May 1.32% to 1.32% and July 119% to 1.19%, was foliowed by a slight setback and then by a mod- erate general advance, which, how- ever, was not well maintained. Corn and oats fluctuated in line Wwith wheat. After opening un- changed to % higher, May, 58%, the corn market scored some further gains. : Oats started a shade off to a like advance, July, 39% to 39%, and later showed a little more strength.

Setbacks in the price of wheat took place near the end of today’s session of the board of trade, the market being influenced to a considerable extent by optimistic reports about a probable big yield in Kansas this sea- son. Word" was received, too, that mills at St. Louis and Alton were shutting down because of lack of range is ttled, 3 May 1.31% to 1.32 and July 117% to 118, Talk of high winds in Kansas and of green bugs in Oklahoma re- ceived a good deal of attention for a while. but were more than offset by bearish advices later. under heavier selling st and closed weak, Republic of Chile Denmark 6e 1942 Dept. of Seine 75" i Dutch East India 6s 1947.
