DECLINE In MARCH
Decrease of 4.6 Per Cent Reported
for 80 Firms Compared
to March, 1880.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 9.-According to
o compilation issued by Merrill, Lynch
& Co., 80 chain store companies, in
GLIDING three mail order concerns, show
total sales for the first three months of
1881 of S409 ,233, 022, against $3.50, 315,-
tbs in the corresponding period Of 1880,
a decrease of 40 per cent. The three
mail order companies alone show sales
for the first three months of 1881 Of
$127, OFT, against $145, 5l4,675 in the
first three months of 1890, decrease
OF l2.l7 per cent. Excluding the mail
order companies, 20 companies show
sales for the three months of 1881,
1921 ,428, 945, against sales of 1924, o00,-
$40 in the same period of 1880, a de-
crease of lib per cent
Results for March, 1881, as reported
by 80 chain store companies, including
three mail order concerns, show total
sales of SAG, 261 .412, against $685. 28,-
172 in March, 1880, a decrease Of 4.60
per cent.
Three mail order companies alone show
sales for March of $44,819, 299, against
$40 PIG, 652 in March, 1880, decrease
of o.94 per cent. Excluding the mail
order companies, 20 chains show sales
for March, 1881, of SOL ,442 ,113, against
Sl04, 105,490 in March, 1880, a decrease
OF 2.56 per cent.
While the reports Of chain store sales
for March show a decrease in dollar
volume over the corresponding month
Of the previous year, taking into con-
sideration the decline in prices of the
merchandise handled, it is apparent
that most chain stores showed substan-
tial increases in units of sales. H. r.
Parson, president of F. w. Woolworth
Co, in commenting on the decline in
sales Of his company for March. said
In March. 1880, there were five Satur-
days and 26 business days, whereas in
March, 1881, there were only four Sat-
urdays and IS business days A Sat-
urday in March is equivalent to about
S1,75o, 600 in sales" 1t is said In trade
circles that the Saturday before Easter
Sunday is ordinarily poor from a sales
viewpoint, so that the loss of a Satur-
day in March just before Easter is a
good reason for smaller chain store
sales for the month.
Reports for the month follow:

BONDS IRREGULAR
AS RAILS DECLINE
Foreign List Strong-Domes.
tic Utility and Industrial
Groups Gain.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 9.-Though there
was general strength in foreign dollar
bonds and in virtually all domestic
utility and industrial obligations, rail-
road issues Of all but the highest type
continued their downward course
today.
Missouri-Pacific general As, for in
stance, dropped to price where their
yield is well over per cent-the lowest
point they have touched in over seven
years. Missouri-Pacific SIS were at a
record low. Wide declines occurred in
Frisco A As, Frisco AIS, Southern Rail-
way general As, Southern Pacific Abs
of 1869, New York, Chicago 81 st.
Louis 41as and first As, Erie SIS of 1875
and 1867, Chicago & Northwestern
434s. st. Paul SIS and Allegheny Cor
poration SIS. On the Curb Exchange
Van Sweringen 6 per cent notes drop
ped to new minimum levels.
The liquidation of the rails was not
confined to any particular group or
system. Earnings statements for March
are expected to show the worst declines
in traffic yet reported. The plight of
some of the roads has been indicated
by attempts to increase passenger
traffic by lowering rates. Today the
Chicago & Northwestern Railroad an
nounced that it would experiment with
a one-cent-a-mile rate. 1t will be
recalled that some Southern roads
have already instituted cheaper pas
Senger rates.
OF course, the high-grade railroad
group hardly reflected this selling.
Where earnings over long period have
been many times fixed charges and
where bonds are secured by mortgages
that do not run into too heavy figures
per mile of right of way, the chief con-
Sideration of price is prevailing money
rates, and these are the lowest in years.
Atchison general As, Baltimore & Ohio
first As, Chicago & Alton IS, Quincy
general As and Union Pacific first As
are still near their best prices of the
year, yielding from to 4.25 per cent.
In the rest of the domestic list trad
ing was quiet. Warner Bros. Pictures
6s advanced 2 points with the stock.
International Match SIS were firmer, al
legedly on covering by shorts. Gen.
eral Baking 5l2s were off nearly point
with the companion stock.
There was some investment buying in
high-grade issues such as Youngstown
Sheet & Tube SIS, Standard Oil of New
York 412s, International Cement SIS,
Duquesne Light AIS, American Tele-
phone 51as and American I. G. Chemi-
cal 51as.
In the foreign department the feature
was the further recovery of BraZilians.
1t was pointed out by bankers that
Brazil's position is no worse than that
of some other South American repub-
lies and, and as a matter of fact, will
be considerably better If her provinces
can manage to keep up the service
on their debts without seeking the aid
OF the Rio government.
German issues were strong, with a
gain of over a point in German Gov
erment SIPS. Other Europeans were
firm but featureless.

OIL CURTA|LMENT
FARLEY RESUMES
Producers Study Survey of
Commerce Bureau in Con-
sidering Proposed Cut.
BY LOUIS E. VAN NORMAN.

Oil was probably the principal busi-
ness topic in the National Capital TO-
day as the Oil States Advisory Com
mittee prepared to resume its confer
ence with the Federal Oil Conservation
Board to discuss a proposed compact Ior
curtailment of production.
The petroleum producers had before
them a survey made public by the Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
which emphasized the Importance OF oil
as a business maker for the great
Southwest This survey pointed OUT
that of all the crude petroleum pro-
duced in the world in 1929 43 per cent
came from the wells of the Gulf South
west, With an estimated total value OF
more than $500, 900. including nat
ural gas and gasoline. This tremendous
activity of $4,000 wells utilized the
services of more than 10000 workers
at an operating cost of between $780,
600 900 and S400, 900 900, of which some
so per cent was for labor.
Many Depend on Industry.
Aside from what may be called the
oil value of the products of these six
States-ArkansaS, Kansas, Louisiana,
New Mexico Oklahoma and TexaS-the
oil industry is a major source OF in
come to thousands Of people who earn
their living by transporting and refining
petroleum, as well as to other thousands
who supply these people with food,
clothing, apparatus, tools, public utili
ties and other necessities and comforts
of life. The development of these OIL
producing sections has all sorts of eff
fects on finance, particularly banking,
and the value of property, besides open
ing up many new avenues OF the dis
tribution of necessities and luxuries.
Many of the largest cities of the Gulf
hail oil
has contributed largely to the expansion
of highways. the enlargement of educa-
tional systems and the general indus
trial growth of the region. The local
banking systems have had difficult
Job on their hands to provide the large
capital necessary to finance new opera
tons.
Oil Pool Royalties.
While the effect of oil production, I'M
even as it has sometimes been, has not
always been favorable to individual COM
munities, it has been a powerful pro-
noting force for the producing States
as a whole. The survey notes the fact
that a large share of the value OF the
petroleum output in these six producing
States is subject to royalty from oil
pools located on school and university
lands In Texas the State University
has an endowment Of more than SO ,000,-
600 collected from the sale of oil pro-
duced from its properties.
AS a factor in the development OF
railway transportation, in the develop
ment of harbors and the deepening of
navigation channels and cheapening
transportation in other ways, oil has
been a tremendous economic factor in
this region. One of the most impressive
recent developments is the extension of
pipe lines, for crude and gasoline as
well as for natural gas. Chicago will
soon be served with natural gas piped
from Texas.

WAGE CUT DISCUSSIONS
ARE AFFECTING MARKET
special plspatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 9.-The general
discussion of possible wage reductions,
both in the industrial and railroad field,
Is claimed to be one of the new infiu-
ences affecting the stock market. There
Is said TO be serious discussion of ad-
1ustmentS in the iron and steel trade.
One Of the weekly trade reviews sug-
geSted 1t in statement that only four
important producers of steel would show
their common dividends to have been
earned in the first quarter of the year
and that with the volume of business
not likely to increase wage rates may
easily become more vulnerable"
The fear of wage reductions is that
they might bring on labor troubles.
which have been conspicuously absent
in this depression compared with other
