Voeories Of Weather
Bring Very Uneven
RetoiI Results

NEW YORK, March 24.-Buyine
In retail stores at leading shopping
centers this week fell below expecta-
tions. though averaging 4 to 10 per
cent above the like 1898 week for the
country as whole, Dun & Brad
street reported today
"The vagaries of March weather
made retail results highly irregular, !"
the credit agency said. Last Satur-
day was, for many merchants, the
best day of the season, but the week
as whole fell below expectations.
In most centers stores serving
a wage-earner class of trade report
ed the sharpest gains.
I'm apparel lines, speciality shops
were generally doing better than
department stores. However, both
types of stores reported that the
season was backward when the
earlier date of Easter is taken into
consideration.
Merchants noted a strong price
consciousness among shoppers, par
ticularly in house furnishings de-
partments. Merchandise moved
briskly when specially priced but
tended to dullness at other times"
The volume of wholesale trade
this week was smaller than last, but
"held up well compared with last
years poor totals the agency
added.

b the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, March 24.-Wal.
ter S. Hallanan, president Of the
Plymouth Oil Co., declared yester-
day in an annual report the petro-
leum industry must quickly set its
house in order If it expects to
maintain itself free from complete
regulation by the Federal Govern
ment."
Discussing what he termed "de.
moralized conditions" in some divi.
sions Of the industry and renewed
agitation for Federal control, he
said:
There is no reason to believe
that solution cannot eventually
be found when the opinion of men
who comprise the industry has been
properly aroused. Our house can
be set In order and it is not too
much to believe that the day is not
far distant when that objective can
be realized"
MI. dallanan TOLD stockholders
the company's earnings in 1888 de-
clined 10 per cent from the previous
years level, but observed that earn
lngs OF the industry as whole fell
off so per cent.
The report disclosed consolidated
net earnings for 1888 of $780,
O9l 81, equivalent to $3.50 per share
on 100000 shares, as compared to
earnings of s2,935 ,342. 10, or $285 per
share, on 1929 800 shares a year ago.
Increased shutdowns In the com.
pany's major producing fields in
Texas were virtually offset, Mr.. Hall
lanan said, by new we'll completions.
Total production for 1888 was with.
IN per cent of the preceding year.
For the industry Mr.. Hallanan
predicted fairly satisfactory" earn.
ings in 1889, with the profits rang
ing midway between the modest
results" Of 1885 and the Compare
lively good" earnings of 1887.
Increased automobile production,
stimulating gasoline sales, may help.
