EXCHANGE RULE
IN CORPORATION
FILING PRAISED
Quarter Report Regulation
Has Useful Purpose,
Writer SAYS.
BY RALPH HENDERSON,
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, April 24-It is rather
unusual for the New York Stock
Exchange to modify a ruling once
it has been made public It's de-
cision to ask corporations to reoprt
quarterly as we'll as for 12-month
periods ended quarterly, therefore,
may well be said to constitute a
precedent.
And the fact that 1t made the
change as a result of outside sug-
gestions and requests reflects a new
and commendable attitude toward
the general public.
The alteration in its request is
an advisable one. Investors like to
be kept posted on current develop
ments as well as on long-term
trends.
Serve Useful Purpose
Statisticians would figure out the
quarterly comparisons, anyway, but
much more work would be involved
than If the corporations did the lob
for the benefit of all concerned.
The thought behind the Ex-
changes initial request was the pro-
lection of investors, who, it thought.
were inclined to place too much
emphasis on seasonal earnings
spurts without seeking to determine
what had happened in previous
quarters. If the new orders are
followed, however, investors will
obtain the timely information they
want along with the long-term fig
ures. Both serve a useful purpose.
The Market Break
Stocks slumped quite sharply early
this week, due largely, it was
thought, to the fresh threat of war
between Great Britain and Italy.
The market has been very thin on
both sides for months, however, and
that factor no doubt contributed to
the decline. An added influence. in
all probability, was the feeling which
has persisted for a week or more
that a shake-out was necessary to
cor ect the markets technical DO
sition.
1t is questionable whether an out
freak of ,hostilities between these
Two nations would hurt the long
term prospects for business here. 1t
probably would force large amount
of stock on the market, though, par
ticularly the stocks which have been
accumulated over the last year or
two by British interests.
Steel Output Higher
The jump in steel production in
the United States to more than 10
per cent of capacity this week sug-
gestS that general business is con-
tinuing its Improvement. The cur
rent high rate is rather remarkable.
it might be added, in view of the
fact that the so-called durable in
dustrieS are among the biggest users
of steel, and when they get going
again they may be expected to add
materially to the nations require
mentS.
And their prospects appear quite
good. Industrial profits are becom-
ing attractive again, and credit is
cheaper than for many years. These
are both important factors in the
encouragement of additions and bet
terments to plants and equipment,
which go to make up the durable
goods trade.

GAS DEMAND IS
seen, BOOSTED
BY TRADE CAIN
Peak Consumption Indicated
in Near Future, Says
Economist.
BY A. L. JACKSON

NEW YORK, April 24.-Adversely
influenced by weather conditions,
the consumption of gasoline was
sharply curtailed during February,
demand for all oils being reduced
to 3,248,000 barrels daily in Febru-
airy, compared with 3,315,OoO barrels
in January.
However, the production of gaso-
line was not reduced accordingly
In fact, on seaSonally adjusted
basis, gasoline production rose to the
highest point ever reported. Conse-
quently, there was a sharp increase
in gasoline stocks.
There has been much comment on
this development, with reports cir
culated that these inventories were
at the highest level in history. This
is far from being the case. They are
the highest recorded since March,
1888, but, in terms of current con-
sumption, we have only to go back
to September, 1884, to find a period
when the situation was more un-
favorable. But even this relation
ship is not a fair means of meas
urlng the current conditions.
Under 1886 Volume
The rise in gasoline stocks during
February was only slightly greater
than is seasonally normal, and
actual inventories at the present
time are approximately 100000
barrels less than were held in
March, 1890, when the all-time high
was established.
The increase in the Stock-con-
sumption ratio was mainly due to
the sharp decline in demand, which.
as explained above, was, due to bad
weather. Already, as indicated by
weekly statistics, this condition has
been corrected.
The advance in gasoline stocks
also should be considered in connec-
ton with the favorable crude oil
situation. While gasoline stocks
have been accommodating, there has
been a corresponding decline in
stocks of crude oil, so that the total
supply of all oils above ground has
remained at very favorable low
level. Stocks of oils at the close of
February amounted to 542,900O00,
compared with SAL 100000 barrels at
the close of January.
Buying Power Rising
The January figures were the low
est reported since the early part of
1927. In terms of consumption of
all oils, stocks were never lower than
they were reported at the close of
January.
In addition to the above factors.
it should be noted that the current
level of purchasing power is favor
able relative to the current level of
demand of all commodities and the
trend of purchasing power is up
ward, with the probability that it
will be further stimulated as re-
suit Of government disbursements
and higher business activity.
Thus we can expect the February
declines in gasoline consumption to
be short-lived. Gasoline consump-
ton should rise to new all-time
peaks within the near future and
result in further gains in the prices
Of both crude oil and gasoline.

Baseball Team
Example of
System
By GARRETT WATERS

They've got great idea working
at Friends School.
It is intramural sports. This de-
velops athletes faster than most
Of us can imagine. At least the
system helps, according to Pete
English, athletic director at the
school, who only this year lnaugu-
rated it at the little institution.
Says English:
Fright now we have loads OF
promising youngsters preparing
for varsity athletics. Friends
70 in for the three major
sports in keeping with the larger
high schools, namely, football,
basketball and baseball. In q
few years, we have an idea we'll
be heard from aplenty."
Being a small school, Friends
finds it must do something like
this in order to compete against
opposition which normally is lined
up on all sports schedules. In re-
cent years only fair to middllng
teams have been the rule.
But not any more, If the new
system works out as successfully
as English believes it will.
Baseball Team Example
The present baseball team is an
example, in a way, of players hav.
ing grown up" to the varsity
class. The boys recently finished
a long winter Of inside work" "
which featured indoor baseball
and all other activities going with
the program.
James Robertson is coach of the
baseball team. He has seen a few
results, but is prone to wait a little
while before becoming entirely
satisfied that the roster is polished
to the finest point.
So far three games have been
played. Western won the opener,
II to 2. Rockville, however, sue,
cumbed in the second fray, 9 to
8, with Charlotte Hall taking the
third, 10 to 9. by these scores it
can De easily seen the team was
beaten badly only once.
Four veterans form the necleus
Of the lineup. They are Dick
Smith. first base; John Gwynn,
second; Charles Wannan, third,
and Jim Smith, short.
The newcomers are Hugh Dun
can, Bill Alexander and Tom
Cochran, outfielders; Wilson
Compton and Josh Miller,
catchers. and Buck Brown, util-
ity. Cochran and Gwynn do the
hurting when they're not playing
regular positions. Coach Robert
son follows this system because
Of the talent of these youngsters,
who are of the type that cannot
easily be left out of any game.
