Zinc Stocks at New High
THE nonferrous metals made a none.toofayor.
= able showing. Zinc production, for example,
continued in excess Of shipments so that stocks
accumulated to make a new high for the de-

March building permits brought few signs of
recovery. Despite the fact the Federal Housing
Administration Act of 1888 had begun to affect
building plans, the adjusted permit figures in
creased less than seasonally. They were SO per
cent under year ago, and were under two
years ago.
Nor do the important factoryemployment
statistics show any real gain The slight I'D
turn in New York was clearly less than normal,
SO that the adjusted index touched the lowest
level since March, 1885. This is only II per cent
OF the 1925-27 average. Factory pay rolls were
703 per cent.
Department store sales suffered from the low
and uncertain employment conditions. The ad.
justed average daily volume in March was Sc
per cent Of the 1923-25 average which compares
with So in February. It is per cent below q.
year ago.
Wholesale commodity prices fell in March,
and this tends to retard speculative buying. It
is notable, however, that raw materials are now
very taVorably priced with relation to finished
goods.
