81 AM MORE pleased with the Chrysler Royal
than any car have owned. Its styling is so
distinctively different. And really-no other
car, even those priced considerably higher,
compares with it for roomness. The safety of
its all-steel body and powerful hydraulic
brakes give me genuine feeling of security"

x 'WHEN HEARD Chrysler was invad-

compared it with the other cars in its field.

which surpasses all other cars at its price. "

NEW YORK, April 20.-A host Of
favorable earnings statements and
prospects Of further industrial i'm
provement stimulated a selective and
quiet rally in today's stock market.
Led by steels and rails, favored farm
implements, aircrafts, rubbers and
specialties pushed up fractions to 2
or more points, although late profit
selling cut down extreme gains in
many instances. Losers were plentiful
at the close.
The Presidents message to Congress
requesting S1,5O0, 100000 for the relief
budget was in line with forecasts, and
brokers thought it had little influence
either way on stocks. The suggestion
new taxes were possible in the next
session had also been considered il

United States Government securi-
ties skidded as the Chief Executive
disclosed a boosted but anticipated
deficit in the fiscal period ending June

RETAIL SALES RISE
RAP|DLY|NM0NTH
March Returns Complete
Heavy Trad0 UpsWing
in First Quarter.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.


Retail sales in March showed an in
crease Of 18 per cent in volume over
March of last year, dollar gain of
about 560,000,OO0, according to cal
culations made public today by the
Washington Office of the American
Retail Federation. The sales volume
in March totaled $3,6OO,OOO O,OOO.
Part of the increase in sales must
be attributed to Easter buying, the
federation points out, although this
seasonal influence was not as great
this year as was expected. The Fed
eral Reserve Board estimates that an
Easter in March usually results in an
increase of about 3 per cent more
than the usual seasonal rise in de-
partment store sales for that month.
March sales this year were also aided
by an additional selling day as COM
pared with March last year.
Sales during the first three months
of this year totaled $8,800,O00 900, an
increase of about $1,000, 100000 over
the first quarter of last year, or about
IA per cent. The gain in dollar VOL
ume for the first two months was II
per cent.
Variety store sales made an aggre-
gate gain of % per cent for the
month. The rural retail sales VOL
ume, as measured by the Department
of Commerce index, also showed
gain of about % per cent, and de-
partment store sales, representing
largely urban business, were up more
than 20 per cent from March of last
year.
New car sales registered an esti-
mated increase of 19 per cent in
March over a year ago, in spite of
labor troubles in assembly plants,
which interfered with deliveries, to-
days report concludes.

He was let ashore at Palermo, Italy,
