M. Mooney, Washington | postmaster. ‘The decline of 4.02 per cent, however, is explained in the fact that March of this year contained an extra holiday and an extra Sunday over the situation last year, which has a definite effect on the amount of busi- i mess transacted. A marked increase in local retail trade was recorded here last month, when the index figure was computed by at 121, as compared with 114 for last March. Some of this increase should be attributed. however, to the fact that the whole Eastern buying season CHECK TRANSACTION 1923. $94,226,703 79,749,776 92,552,626 90,702,240 101,408,088 101,208,121 90,996,351 81,618,588 84,064,271 94,922,808 93,475,020 97,234,378 $99,846,145 103,703,090 100,970,204 111,728,231 WASHINGTON CLEARING HOUSE 1924. 1925. $109,562,616 93,021,370 110,920,979 112,360,952 115,295,665 124,366,758 122,575,468 101,429,229 105,318,309 116,844,670 117,857,183 123,724,889 ~1926. $112.853,440 99,026,075 120,498,787 115,978,408 118,968,666 128,361,071 121,511,514 104,912,119 105,608,791 119,532,824 118,066,537 127,262,714 88,455,424 93,035,755 96,340,577 98,587,918 87,986,668 89,003,939 99,752,086 97,988,384 | officers of the Federal Reserve system | during the past month was 670,000 as | February and with 145,279 in March of » THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Trading was quiet. The rails and miscellaneous list of in- dustrials and utilities were inclined to uneveness, although as a whole the market tended to consolidate the xalnsl it made the last few days on strength of expectations of easier credit. Gains of a point or more among the foreign obligations were made by San Paulo 7s and Salvador 8s as in- vestors looking for higher yields than the domestic issues afford came into! the market. Cuba sugar cane 8s, which have| weakened steadily on news of the hard | times facing Cuban sugar producers, | continued to sag. | New York City traction issues ap- | peared to have touched bottom on the | sharp break following the United | States Supreme Court decision against | a higher fare, but still were ragged. { What little trading took place in! United States Government obligations was mostly at sligthly lower levels. this year was in March. The index was well in excess of the index of 97.9 at- tained in February. The number of kilowatt hours of electric power consumed in the Dis- trict during March of this year was | 21,520,790, or an increase of 3,048.695 over the total for the corresponding month of last year. The March total also was approximately 1,500,000 in ex- cess of the figure for February, but | was less than that for January. ‘The number of telephones in service in March was 153,274, this figure com- paring with a total of 152,381 during last year. The average number of daily calls compared with a total of 595,652 origi- nating calls per day in March of last year and with an average of 658,391 | in February of this year. 1927. $117,074,963 103,348,052 121,510,442 124,139,370 120,850,495 127,516,336 108,600,949 103,580,305 104,579,350 116,851,774 114,264,134 123,581,252 & 1928, 1929. $114,408,832 $129,438,291 103,495,524 109,649,040 122,284,990 131,795,923 120,019,886 i 123,796,402 126,930,689 114,273,668 107,049,844 113,117,412 137,660,693 122,706,244 129,981,412 31,102‘,156,97! $1,167,398,426 31,353,—278,092 $1,392,580,051 $1,385,897,426 $1,435,725,602 1922-23 $299,807.70 281,365.26 304,733.56 331,521.39 348,685.49 495,443.44 349,643.41 523,234.37 380,845.64 391,823.26 328,974.00 297,790.64 Month July August September October November POSTAL RECEIPTS Reported by Fiscal Years 1923-24 1924-25 1925-26 $317,581.74 $314,171.01 = $361,177.16 288,450.08 325,707.10 330, 287,922.33 356,610.99 404,421.01 469,513.11 390,539.16 394,496.62 518,909.59 551,324.73 389,948.61 387,730.52 363,399.96 357,128.69 430,375.66 414,944.87 412,258.66 428,53 378,964.63 384,923.20 337,259.78 373,644.07 446,0. 3 627,252.88 438,573.00 407,873.78 498,967.48 485,013.24 426,834.06 422,098.21 1928-29 $391,428.44 | 412,757.49 | 469,250.28 | 545,649.13 494,103.07 | 672,162.47 480,663.77 467,238.68 505,179.65 1926-27 $380,996.07 371,654.56 447,804.14 541,876.96 505,417.39 686,869.38 452,798.09 460,256.72 521,939.24 498,290.44 424,724.09 -426,669.19 1927-28 $388,568.16 397,809.26 476,465.09 506,969.09 511,040.11 687,795.65 473,473.51 466,626.95 527,486.19 506,543.44 470,110.35 447,490.35 -l_l.,lfl,BM.lC $4,520,031.21 $4,758,734.06 $5294,315.78 $5,729,296.27 $5,860,378.15 KILOWATT HOUR OUTPUT FOR DISTRICT 1923 10,506,616 9,778,368 9,450,875 9,369,463 9,951,005 10,981,107 10,704,374 10,957,601 11,290,753 10,284,223 10,680,731 November 11,052,499 December TELEPHONE SERVICE IN DISTRICT CHESAPEAKE & POTOMAC TELEPHONE CO. 110,569 110,938 111,629 POTOMAC ELECTRIC POWER CO. 1924 1925 1926 11,124,071 12,925,647 15,049,208 10,819,661 12,289,072 14,570,549 10,623,588 11,990,809 14,038,461 10,611,230 13,005,484 13,990,862 11,217,227 12,924,002 15,081,528 11,842,940 14,159,728 15,157,253 12,176,571 13,883,518 15,248,254 12,221,674 13,966,085 15,576,137 11,607,167 14,630,733 15,515,505 11,047,593 13,421,422 15,713,113 11,345,775 13,887,687 15,861,946 12,183,606 14,554,861 16,442,705 Number of Telephones in Service 1934 1925 1926 109,599 116,944 127,411 118,563 128,128 119,601 129,544 120,422 130,352 111,908 111,915 111,903 115,767 Average Originating Local Calls Per Day 124,152 125,360 126,501 135,780 1924 1925 1926 463,807 441,668 446,493 487,258 542,050 1927 17,036,730 16,154,758 16,275,840 16,266,198 16,413,356 16,740,188 16,427,149 16,330,080 16,293,226 16,796,510 18,131,429 19,030,145 1928 1929. | 18,655,125 22,016,010 | 18,479,857 20,009,602 18,472,095 21,520,799 18,031,834 18,852,464 | 19,484,101 19,555,847 19,470,453 19,710,347 19,286,368 20,256,623 20,663,298 1927 136,506 137,285 137,992 138,281 138,468 138,457 138,563 138,730 140,177 1928 144,036 144,757 145.279 145,657 145,962 145,264 145,292 145,414 146,837 148,608 149,501 150,360 1929. 151,285 152,381 153,274 1928 590,024 601,839 595,652 602,004 597,723 590,428 507,693 474,550 535,762 571,495 598,216 598,398 1929. 664,306 | 658,394 670,000 | Wholesale Market ‘Yesterday’s, dally market report on fruits and vegetables (compiled by the Market News Service Bureau of Agri- cultural Economics) sal Apples—Supplies light; demand light, ine | market steady; barrels, no sales re- ported; boxes, Washington, medium to large size, extra fancy Winesaps, 2.75a 3.00, mostly 3.00; small size, low as 2.50; ‘bushel baskets, Virginia, U. 8.
