MOST
ACTIVE IN
MARCH
Retail Trade and Collections
Slightly Retarded by Cold
Weather.
b. COsmopoIItan News servIee.

NEW YORK, April 14.-Brad.
streets Weekly Review OF Business
says today:
There is still a good deal of
irregularity in the various lines OF
trade and industry, with the latter.
including building and collections,
at opposite ends of the scale. the
former being more active than ever
known, whereas collections are
dragging in q notable way. For
this latter condition. cold weather,
which has been and in retarding
retail sales and to some extent
jobbing business, Is held mainly re.
sponsible.
Soil Conditions Favorable
"City retail trade. favored by
bright. though cool weather, shapes
up better than does country trade.
but mail order trade Is growing
rapidly. Soil conditions. except in
the extreme western part OF the
winter wheat belt, are generally
such that few days OF warm, dry
weather win enable farm work to
be prosecuted actively.
"Jobbing trade il fairly good,
but the quiet noted in some whole
sale lines has been rather in
creased by the less exigent tone of
buying in iron and steel, I'm which
price advances seem practically ct
an end, at least for the time being.
The iron and steel trades have
been much in the public eve. how.
ever, because of new high records
OF iron and steel output set up in
March, the further increase I'm un-
filled orders. and because 800 900
workers in these trades have had
wages advanced about 10 to IL
per cent over September last.
Building Breaks Records.
Perhaps the most notable case
Of new records In industry, how
ever. is the March report to Brad.
streets as to building.
For the first time in the ccun-
try's history q monthly total of
building expenditure In excess OF
$500, 900, 600 has been set up.
"One Of the conspicuous en-.
ceptions to the very general activity
in industry is found In the coal
trades. Anthracite il stilI very
active, but bituminous is weak. In
other metals than iron and steel,
there has been uuieting down, ac-
companied by easing prices, shared
even by copper.
The Government report on
winter wheat conditions points to a
probable crop smaller than for five
years past
Other Developments OF the week
have to do with q rather re.
dictionary market for stocks. lower
exchange rates, tagging export bur
large import trade, continued record
car loadings for this season Of the
year. higher grain but lower cotton
markets. -

WINTER FLARE-BACK VISITS

When the residents of Delaware
were beginning to turn their thoughts
to Spring, and the activities which ac-
company that season of the year, they
were given a real taste of winter wea-
ther on Monday of this week, and
Spring was forgotten. At noon on
Monday the thermometer in Milford
registered 54 degrees. At five o'clock
Monday afternoon the temperature
had dropped, and stood at 80 degrees.
Charles J. Holzmueller, official gov
ernment weatherman in Milford, re-
ports that low temperature of 1S de-
grees was registered during the night.
The long wet weather, followed by the
freezing temperature has greatly held
up farm work. Many Of the farmers
have not yet planted their peas. Fruit
buds had not developed far enough for
the freezing weather to do any INJURY
to the fruit and berry crop. The wea-
ther moderated in the middle of the
week.

CUT IN MILK OUTPUT EXPLAINED BY BULMER
Unusual Increase In Consumption And School Use Cause Scarcity

Curtailment of milk production estimated between 15 and 20 per cent at this season Is more or less normal L. c. Bulmer, chief of the division of food and dairy inspec- tion for the city and county health department. stated Friday morning at the city hall.
 The reported scarcity in Birming- ham, he said, Is due to several things: rapid increase in population, unusual increase in the consumption of milk, the takin5 of large quanti- ties by schools, a more or less recent development and the usual fall draught.
 Birmingham began consuming milk at the rate of 11,50o gallons a day with last January and this rate has been increasing steadily ever since. The mark set 10 months ago was an increase of nearly double that of the year before. The indi- cations are that the survey to be made with the beginning of 1924 will show the growth during the passing year has been almost equal to the gain over two years ago by last year.
 It was pointed out that the scare ity is not so much a falling off in production as a steadily enlarging

Only Prisoners Entitled To Sit At Jail Board, Revenue Body Rules

None save prisoners are entitled to eat in the county jail at the countys expense, the board of revenue decid- ed Friday when Chief Deputy Sheriff Henry s. Hill asked permission to get his lunch there whenever he is too busy to go out for 1t. The board declined to grant his request.
 In the past, Mir. Hill said, deputy sheriffs and the warden have been in the habit of eating In the jail with the prisoners to save time. He tried to show that the time saved would be worth more to the county than the cost of the meal, about 12 or 13 cents, but board members voted against his suggestion.
