BY WILLIAM r. HEFFERNAN.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Ol shares
played prominent part today in the
operations for the rise which went on
in practically all sections of the Curb
Market. The buying in this quarter
swelled the volume of business and
trading was more active than it has
been for many weeks.
Several reasons were assienable for
the renewed interest In oil shares.
That most commonly given was that
this is the one group in which the
public is heavily committed. Another
was that gasoline consumption this
Summer is expected to be the heaviest
in many years, which will result in
large Withdrawals from storage.
This. along with an expected decline
in domestic crude output during the
next so days. was said to foreshadow
higher prices for both the refined and
crude products.

WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Page u

Prior to the war the country
was shocked at Government ex-
penditures exceeding one billion
dollars annually. Now we find
little interest in the fact that the
appropriations for the fiscal year,
which begins tomorrow, exceed
four billions. This amount does
not include the proposed expen-
ditures for rivers and harbors,
matter which has strong support
in the House, but little sympathy
in the Senate.
Those who expected legislation
at this session which would effect
the coal problem will be greatly
disappointed. The proposals re-
lating to the coal industry along
with several other important
measures are taboo for consider
alton before adjournment because
of the controversial features.
If an agreement could be
reached to pass the rivers and
harbors bill and patchwork
farm legislation measure observers
here say that Congress machinery
would be shut down for the sum-
mer.
The administrative department
of the Government begins new
fiscal year tomorrow. This
means changes in the personnel
and in many instances new ac-
tivities, as the appropriations
made by the present Congress be-
come available on July L.
