REAL ESTATE. TRADING 1S QUIET ATD. C. MARKET Business Reported Dull by Merchants at Local Whoie- sale Market. : Marketmen and commission mer- chants all over the city suffered great losses curing the past weok, they re- ported today. Disappointment was expressed in but- ter, egg and poultry sales for the holi- days. A brisk trade had been expected 2nd dealers ordered a large. stock of goods, but business was slow, due to| cautious buying. One dealer stated that most of the <¢ity’s money must have gone toward the purchasing of Easter frocks and suits. Inclement weather is thought to have | much to do with the business slump. People trade at their neighborhood groceries when the weather is bad, the merchants said. Then, ¢gair, during | Lent business always takes a “sad drop, as one of the commission men put it. Trading Slow. Shipments of butter are all in for the week and business in this com- modity was unusually dull. Merchants in pork and lard reported a dull week, with business picking up slightly yesterday. They reported that housewives are buying no more than they possibly need. The first part of the week was slow, they announced. A | dozen carloads of pork were shipped in | curing the early part of the week, and | dealers expect this shipment to I throughout the week if business m: & steady rise over Monday and Tuesd: No change in the business slump w reported at the poultry and egg mar- kets. “We have no comment to make, cther than that last week was a pretty bad one, and that we're hoping trade | will pick up next weel If_business | does rise, the dealers said, they will order fresh shipments. The sale of eggs was much lower this Easter than sales | during Easter of 1927-28. Merchants along B street southwest reported a_brisk business the last few | days, but declared the early part of the | April 6 were higher for both periods. | Alied Po INDUSTRIES REPORT CONTINUED GROWTH U. §.

For the week ending Saturday, April 6, check payments increased over both the preceding week and the same period last year, says the Department of Commerce. Stee) plants are buzzing, many work- | ing day and night. They are on a high- er plane than either last week or the corresponding week a year ago. Bi- tuminous coal shows a drop in output, fig\lrlng against either the preceding week or the same week a year ago, while lumber production moved ahead over #he preceding week, but was lower than 1 the same weck of & year age. Another important factor in pros- perity’s balance, the distribution of goods, showed a gain over.a year 8go, if car loadings are an accurate measure. | Prices, the wholesale ones, went down | during the week to about what they were a year ago. Iron and steel, how- | ever, are in heavy demand, and aver-| aged higher in price than either last week or a year ago, while prices for cotfon and copper were lower, but much higher than a year ago ! In the much-discussed field of bank- ing and credits the Federal Reserve| members showed -expansion in both loans and discounts, as compared with | both last week and the same week a | year ago.

BALTIMORE, April 13 (Special) Reports are current here that the Sea- board Air Line will announce within |bo the next few wecks a recapitalization plan. Executives of the road and bank- :rs are said to be working upon a pro- posal to improve the credit of the sys- tem. Last year the road was forced to discontinue interest on its 5 per cent adjustment bonds. Seaboard is faced with the problem of meeting more than $20,000,000 in bond maturities in the next three years and in order to accomplish such re- fundin tem’s financial structure may have to be_revamped, it is believed. Net income of the Seaboard last year was $101,293 below that of 1927. Im- proved methods of oferntlun and econo- mies are credited with this showing in the face of a $4,544,000 drop in gross.
