Complain of Delay
In Express Shipments
Business Men Seek Conference
With Company Officials to
Gain Relief

Because Of the numerous complaints
that retailers in all parts Of the coun-
try are registering against the DELAYS
in express shipments made to them by
New York wholesalers, several Of the
associations in the women's apparel
field are planning to seek an ameliora-
tion of conditions through conferences
with officials of the American Railways
Express Company.
Retailers in the South, through the
retail merchants bureau of the New
Orleans Chamber of Commerce, have
asked the United Waist League of
America, whose headquarters is in this
city, to take up the matter with the
express company. A dress manufac-
turing association also has received
complaints from retailers and it's
members, and has arranged for con-
ference this week.
Retailers in the South and West as
sert that much of their spring mer-
chandise is being received two and
three weeks late, and many Of them
are afraid that goods destined for pre-
Easter selling will not reach them in
time.

The volume of business was not large,
however and holders of March contracts
seemed willing to supply buyers freely

by no means an unreasonable figure as

Proft-taking sales on the Curb were
in fairly heavy volume yesterday, and
served to check aggressive operations
on the upward side. The closing was
irregular. Oil shares were most prom
inent in the dealings.
An outstanding feature of tho out
side market was the further drop in
the price of Russian government ex-
ternal 57a and 61A per cent bonds,
which declined to % and 81, respec-
lively, on light offerings.
In the oil list international Petro-
leum displayed better tone than on
Houston was steady around 118. White
oil was quiet. In connection with the
latter concern it was announced that
directors at meeting on Friday de-
cided to concentrate the activities of
the corporation on securing production
and on completion of those projects
which will bring the largest returns.
Telegraphic advices from Louisiana
were to the effect that production of
the Claiborne field,gin the Homer dis
trict, reached high water mark last
week of S4,725 barrels day. Pipe line
runs from all fields in North Louisiana
went to a new high record of 121 900
