Substantial Spring Volume of Busi-
ness Is Expected

NEW YORK. March II lSpeciaU.--
In its weekly hardware market sum-
mary Hardware Age will say tomor-
row: Reports from leading hardware
market centers indicate that hardware
jobbers anticipate substantial Spring
volume of seasonal lines. Current buSi-
ness is running somewhat behind last
years sales for March. This is particu
larly true in the East. The majority
of distributors. however. feel that this
loss may be overcome as the Spring
season approaches.
Retail stocks are generally very
light. Prices have been remarkably
firm. with rumors relative to possible
advances. Collections have been diff
cult in many cities
Freight car loadinSs have been
heavy. Steel production has set new
records. Employment has been good
and wages satisfactory. according TO
opinions of hardware market students
These several factors should help

ARGENTINE REPORTS

Anxiety Over Political Outlook in
Europe Also Serves to Give
Market Setback.

CHICAGO. March l7-With re-
ports at hand that Argentine wheat
is being urgently pressed for sale.
the wheat market here averages
lower today in the early dealing.
Word that Argentine exchange rates
were advancing and that the Argen-

One of the weakest groups was the
department store shares, the mail

recession in May Department Stores.
