MERCHANT VESSEL
BUILDING INCREASES

The total of world construction of
merchant vessels is now in excess of the
pre-war level of shipbuilding for the
first time since the end Of the postwar
boom in production, in 1928, says a
statement just issued by Lloyd's Regis
ter of Shipping, covering returns from
all maritime countries for the quarter
ended March 81 last.
In comparison with the 3162, 900
gross tons of merchant ships under way
at the end Of June, 1914, throughout the
world, the present total shows gain Of
over 100000 tons. For the United
States an increase of about 5000 tons
is shown. Great Britain and Ireland,
however, are over 100000 tons below the
1914 figure; but the other maritime ma
tons. taken together, have made gain
of 136, 900 tons
An increase of $4,000 gross tons is
shown for the quarter ending March 81.
in contrast with the quarter ended De-
cember 81 last, says Lloyd's Register.
In this period Great Britain and Ire
land made an increase in work under
way of $4,000 gross tons, the United
States Of $4,000 tons, and the other
countries combined of $4,000 tons.
A comparison of conditions in the
last two quarters is shown by Lloyd's
Register in the following table of gross
tonnage:

Close behind it was United Light and
Power A which opened up fraction
ally at 513s and climbed to over So, a
new high. Announcement that this
company is planning to enter the
natural gas field on a large scale
through its subsidiary, American Light

GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT
IN HARDWARE DEMAND
special pispatch 30 The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April 16.-The hard
ware demand throughout the country
continues to show gradual improvement,
according to reports received from lead
ing market centers, Hardware Age will
say tomorrow in its weekly market sum-
mary, Favorable weather in most sec
tons together with some improvement
in basic business conditions, have been
the trade stimulating factors.
Seasonal merchandise, such as gar
dening equipment, paints, lawn goods
and house cleaning supplies, are espe-
cially active at present. The demand
for staple goods has also shown slight
improvement.
Few price changes Of consequence
were made during the past week. The
price tendency, however, inclineS
toward lower, rather than higher, quo
tations, although recent reductions
were mostly of a minor character. No
major revisions appear likely in the
near future.
The credit situation, while "spotty,"
is considered generally satisfactory in
most sections of the country.

Johnny Corriden'S Indians couldn't
hit George Connally Monday night
when hits meant runs and on the
defense the home nine went to
pieces and exploded to the extent of
seven miscueS. If some one had
tossed a tirecracker out there the
chances are the Tribesmen would
have scaled the fences and disap-
peared in the darkness back of the
park.
In other words the Hoosiers spent
a dizzy evening before a crowd OF
about 5000. The boys were nervous
(oming in from a disastrous road
trip and failed to function up to
the standard of league FASTENERS.
Pretty soft for Toledo, it was, 8 to l.

at the expense of the downhearted
Indians. A ST. p in baseball is no

which they soon will reach if they
don't shake the jinX at once.

The lone Indian run was circuit

forgot everything they had learned
about pastiming under the lamps.
