SAY INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT :
CONTINUES TO GAIN

WASHINGTON, April 2S:-Con
tinued increases in industrial produce
ton, further expansion in building
operations and freight movements
heavier each week than in any cor
responding week in four years We're
reported as among the outstanding
features of business conditions this
month in a statement today by the
Federal Reserve Board. General pro-
duction, the statement announced,
was 8 per cent higher on the boards
index ratio than tho high peak of
1920 and 81 per cent above the low
point of 1921.
While the boards statement dealt
largely with expansion, it was devoid
of comment as to the length to which
the expansion may GO 1t was ascer-
tanned, however, that in some official
quarters the belief is held that pyra-
miding of orders is developing, and
some alarm was expressed as to the
significance of this condition.
There has as yet been no reflection
in the rediscounts by the Federal Re-
serve Banks of the reported heavy
borrowings from member banks of
the Reserve System. The banks, it
was said, have been able thus far
TO take care of the calls for funds,
which have become increasingly
great as the industrial expansion
progressed.
The loans of member banks for
commercial purposes increased S4S,-
100000 in the thirty days prior to
April II. The increase. however, has
not been reflected in the ~rediscounts
of Reserve Banks, largely as a result
the statement explained, OF with
drawal of funds from investments
and the continued inflow of gold.
This condition also has resulted in
more or less stable money rates.
March sales by department stores,
as reported to the Reserve Banks,
were about % per cent greater than
a year ago.. With this went an in
creased turnover of stock, as shown
by the fact that stocks held by the
reporting stores We're only 6 per cent
greater than in March. 1922.
Sales by mail-ordeT houses were
reported as larger than in any month
since November, 1920. and 35 per
cent larger than March last year. In
both mail order and retail establish
ments, the sales wero said to be con-
tinuing in April at rates that indica-
ted equally high totals.

PUBLIC ADVISED TO STORE
COAL FOR FUTURE NEEDS

WASHINGTON, April 2S-Gen-
eral adoption by consumers of the
practice of storing coal the Bureau
of Mines suggests, may result in the
elimination of shortage, high prices,
and labor disturbances unsatisfac-
tory to both the public and the in
dustry itself.
Practical methods OF storing have
been worked out as a result of in
vestigations which the government
has conducted lately in cooperation
with the Carnegie Institute of Tech
nology. Joseph d. Davis, fuel
chemist for the bureau, and John
+. Byrne, of the research staff of
the institute, have found that the
dangers of spontaneous combustion
and deterioration can TO a consid-
cradle degree be avoided by proper
methods in handling the product.
Coal should be screened and the
fine stuff eliminated. the bureau ex-
perts say, before any storage is at
tempted. Likewise two or more diff
ferent kinds of bituminous coal
should not be mixed in storage, as
Tha less volatile types of eastern
mined coal can be stored with ad-
vantage and safety by consumers *
they will observe the necessary pre-
cautions.
