BY VICTOR EUBANK, Associated Press Financial Writer. NEW YORK, April 1.—A sharp rally ©of;German obligations was the feature of an otherwise uncertain bond market today. JIssyes of the Reich, which slumped precipitately yesterday to new lows for the year, came back 2 to 6 or more pbints at one time, although the rebound ‘was not accompanied by the heavy trad- ipg of the previous session. German government 5'2s, the most active of tgis list, recovered more than 2 points, the s were up around 3 and some of the Gentral agricultural bank loans retrievea around 6 points. TUnited States Government securities Were relatively steady, but dull, and there were some fractional reacticns in Liberty first 4%s and some of the ‘Treasuries. This department was the ohly one to show consistent gains dur- ing the past week. “There were a number of rallies in the sécondary corporate groups that recent’y have been subjected to considerable re. Allegheny Corporation 5s of 1950 more than got back their loss of ?Idny following announcement that the pril 1 interest on this issue was being paid. The bonds sold as low as 5 yester- day and today they were quoted at 8. .Other advances bonds of Santa Fe, Baltimore & Ohio, Consolidated Gas, Missouri Pacific, New York Central, Phillips Petroleum, Postal Telegraph, Southern Railway, United States Rubber and Western Union. ‘Further casualties, however, were suf- fered by maturities of American Tele- phone, American and Foreign Power, Golumbia Gas, Erie, Gul! States Steel, North American, Northern Pacific, United Drug and Great Northern. “The foreign section, aside from the Germans, was rather irregular. The Argentines improved, as did the Italians, Colombians and Austrians. Some of th British, French, Japanese, Belgians and Australians eased. :Commodity Price Trends of Week 4 BY H. N. McGILL. Editor McGill Commodity Service, Inc. AUBURNDALE, Mass., April 1.—All commodities advanced moderately this week due entirely to the rebound in &u:tlum for live stock. In the main majority of groups showed no change, this geing true of 7 out of 14 individual groups. Five were lower- industrial products, non-ferrous metals, paint materials, fine textiles and vege- table cils. The only other group be- eldes live stock which advanced was hides and leather. Industrial Index Firm. Industrial commodities showed prac- tically no change. In the majority of cases price strength such as in non- ferrous metals, rubber, speculative ifems, etc., which occurred during the early stages of the bank moratorium, has been entirely wiped out. Industrial activity has failed to m2ke progress on the up side and yet this has not force- fully affected either the price list of raw materials or changed the declining trend of inventories. With the improve- ment in the banking situation confi- dence has taken the place of fear and as the real industrial crisis and the crisis as regards sharply declining commodity prices were reached in 1932, there was little room left for any se- vere change during the upheaval in the financial structure. , Agricultural prices showed no change. Advances in certain groups such as the grains, were offset by reactions in diiry products. Markets are now more or less in a marking-time process, pending legislation which will make the farm bi'l part of the economic sys- tem. The passage of the farm bill will haye a stimulating effect upon prices despite the existence of artificial in- fluences which make questionable the success of production or price control. JLive stock prices continued the £jrength that had been noted in recent weeks, reaching a new high as cattle, hogs and sheep prices averaged higher. It is interesting to note that only \in the case of fine textiles are prices lower than the live stock group as compared with the 1926 base. The live stock industry will indirectly bene- fit from any psychological price in- crease in agricultural products, fol- Jowing the introduction of the farm il <Hides and leather prices rebounded upward as three out of the six items which comprise the index ruled higher. Non-ferrous metals continued the down trend that has existed since the relatively broad increase in early March. The present price level is again comparable with the first of the veer. ~Fine textiles lost a little ground, but edtten, silk and wool in general showed resistance to bearish pressure. The price of spot cottcn has continued to hold well above the 6 per cent level. The seven groups that remained sta- tionary during the week were agricul- tural products, building materials, chemicals, fuels, ferrous metals, paper end pulp and coarse textiles. .

NEW YORK, April 1.—American candy menufacturers—some 500 estab- lishments whose business is not con- fined to their immediate trade areas— today are preparing late shipments of their Easter wares. Easter, always one of the peaks in the candy calendar, will not provide either the poundage or the dollar vol- ume of the same season A vear ago. This explains why manufacturers cur- talled their purchases of such raw ma- terials as corn sirup, sugar, chocclate, essental oils, flavors, nuts and pectin. Lessened production for Easter was forecast in Government tax receipts— 2 per cent on total turnovers—which in January, the start of the Easter manu- facturing season, amounted Lo $418.000 and in February to $289,000. Although March tax receipts are not yet avail- able, the trade believes they will net equal February receipts and that total retail business for the year will be well 2low $240,000.000, the wholesale value f candy manufactures in bygone years. Cautious Buying. The cauticus purchasing by retailers is explained by a less generous attitude and jobbers, are trying to cut losses on carryover stocks. Then, too, there has been an increase in home candy mak- ing. one of the phases of the depression. One of the makers of Easter egg flavors said today that manufacturers had purchased less this year than in 1929, but from other sources he had learned that flavoring demand on the rt of home candy makers increased. e latter trade is largely confined to Germans, being centered especially in Pennsylvania and Maryland, where homemade Easter eggs weighing 5 to 10 pounds are not unusual. These em are sliced off, just like ham, on festive day. Vanilla, as usual, was the favorite flavoring for this purpose, though coco- nut, Roman punch—to produce frozen pudding, fruit and nut centers—eggnog, istachio and other standard items were in demand earlier by candy manufac- turers. The various essential oils, like anise, lemon, grange, cassia, peppermint and limes, were purchased only in mod- erate quantities, despite the flurry early in March as a result of the gyrations in foreign exchange and the conSequent becflponry mark-up of imported prod- ucts. Quality Is Stressed. Candy manufacturers today are st quality, so it is natural that the var! types of creams, manufac- tured sugars and similar ingredients are much better than a year ago. Leaders in the trade show no disposition to in- troduce novelties. Rather they are cut- ting lines and items. Many of them continue to increase the size of their product rather than the quality. Curtailment in candy production nat- urslly keeps machinery sales and new products at a low level. From 1920 to 1929 there were two significant trends in candy machinery—toward higher speed and greater efficiency in a single- purpose machine and marked improve- ment in the adjustable machine, Now- edays candy makers buy only the ad- justable type, so If a product is dropped the machinery can be utilized elsewhere. Price cutting, lack of co-operation poverty of new goods, poor selling and advertising and other factors are re- sponsible for candy poundage today be- ing 75 per cent less than in 1920. But children still don't choose spinach be- fore sweets. Lovers still quarrel—and make up. There’s a lot more romance to bunnies, Easter eggs and the like than their mere ingredients, but trade advertising does not so indieate. Cincinnati at present is the focal spot of the candy trade, because that cen- ter is conducting a three-month survey of jobbing costs, with the aid of John on the part of manufacturers in regard Baltimore Markets ‘to returns.

Silver—Markets have been narrow in the past ‘week despite continued talk in political quarters of renewed ef- forts to raise the metal's currency status.
