Most favored included Frisco 4':s of 78. Nickel Plate 4i.c. Missouri| Kansas Texas 5s of '62. Erie 5s of | ’75, Baltimore & Ohio stamped coin- vertibles, Rock Island general 4s and | Pennsylvania general 4':s of '65. Boston & Maine issues again im- | Yroved as steps proceeded toward | approval ¢f a debt reduction plan In the foreian list a weak strain developed 1n Belgian issues, which have weathered the stress of recent war news better than most other foreign obligations. That country's 7s lost more than 2 points. Sold at steady to higher were loans of Norway, Canads and Brazil.

D €, - Electric Production Stages Advance For Second Week Index Declines, Howevfir, As Output Falls Behind Season’s Expectations WEDNESDAY, By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 24.—Electric power output advanced for the sec- ond week in a row during the pe- riod ended April 20 after a five-week decline, the Edison Electric Institute said today. Latest output of 2,421,576,000 kilo- watt hours was 0.1 of 1 per cent ahead of 2,417,994.000 in the preced- ing week and 10.1 per cent more than 2,199,002,000 in the comparable 1939 week. The advance was less than sea- | sonally expected, however, and the | Associated Press power index de- | clined to 1225 from 1231 g week earlier. A year ago the index, which is based on 1929-30 as 100 and is adjusted for seasonal and long-term trend, stood at 113.4. Percentage gains over a year ago, according to major geographic areas, were reported as follows by the institute: New England, 8.2; Middle Atlantic, 86: Central Industrial, 129; West Central, 7.5; Southern States, 12.7; Rocky Mountain, 144; Pacific | Coast, 0.7. | 'Washington Produce | t score. tubs.
