Long Period Reviewed.
Executive branch employment in

garded as leading barometer of
buying power, provides the only rec
ord over period of years, but the
amazing gains at this point show
conclusively that the grand totals
are at their highest points in his
tory.
In its semi-annual review the
civil Service Commission traced the
growth of executive branch employ
ment here from only 25.930 en-
plcyes in June, 1905, to l26,345 in
December, 1899.
In the table below, giving totals
for June In various years, allowance
should be made for a change in the
system Of reporting employees start
ing with the 1897 date. At the time
the change was made, the total
was about 5000 smaller under the
new system than under the previous
one. This indicates that there was
an actual gain rather than a de-
cline between June. 1896, and June.
1887, and that the difference be-
tween the 1899 figure and earlier
years is greater than shown.

NEW YORK, March 3O.-The

markets late this week spread quick
ly to the cotton futures ring today,
where prices advanced to points.
Domestic mills fixed prices more
actively and some short covering ap-
peared following news from Worth

output.
Foreign offerings came into the
market, together with hedge Offer

Traders also paid considerable at
tention to reports of heavy rains
overnight in the East and central
parts of the Southern belt. In view
of the general deficiency of suhsoil
moisture. most traders said the
rains would help the crop.

Best First-Quorter
Sales in History
Are Indicated
BY DONALD B. HADLEY.

ny DOVAAD ID. 11ADLE1s
While an early Easter played its
part, substantial increase In en-
ployment and pay rolls has been
the underlying reason for the best
first quarter retail volume in
Washington's history.
For the opening three months of
1910, department store sales, major
barometer Of retail trade here, are
expected to show a gain of around
10 per cent over the same 1899
monthsland chalk up a new all-time
record Tor that period Sales in
the first two months of the year
were 90 per cent ahead of a year
ago.
While employment and pay roll
statistics have been slow in appear
ing, the January report from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics covering
the Government establishments,
provided clear view of the situ-
alton.
Set New Record.
Establishing a new record in the
month, the Federal and District
Governments employed 10,262 more
persons and paid out 81 ,602 ,O03 more
than in the same 1889 month.
Employment included 155, ,468 per-
sons with pay roll of $26,999 500
for the month compared with l45,-
176 persons and $25 1897 ,596 in jan
uary 1899.
Every branch Of the Government
showed substantial gains in both
employment and pay rolls over a
year ago.

NEW YORK, March 30.-1ncrsased
business volume and profits are fore
cast for aircraft manufacturers for
the next IL months, at least, in
Poor's Industry and Investment Sur
veys.
Production on the airplanes or
dered by foreign customers will con-
stitute the greatest source of activity,
but there will be no interference
with defense plans of the United
States Army and Navy. The British
and French governments are un-
derstood to be contemplating the
purchase of over one billion dollars
worth OF aircraft. presumably for de-
livery by the fall of 194l.
"The United States Governments
national defense program is under
way and will keep the industry busy
for some time to come" continues
the analysis. Proposed appropria-
tlons for purchase of Army and
Navy aircraft during fiscal 194l
amount to about $117,0OO,0O in
cluding 5000, 900 Army and $685.
100000 Navy. These figures COM
pare with a total of 1928 900 900
appropriated for the combined air
forces during fiscal 1910. Although
the 194l figures are lower than
those for 1940,. indications are
that Congress will increase the al
lowances. 1t is rumored that the
Navy's 3,000-plane force will be
doubled.
'Reflecting receipt of both domes-
tic and foreign orders, the industry's
backlog of uncompleted business is
substantially ahead of 1899 sales"
the analysis concludes. This rela-
tionship is shown in the following
estimates for 16 leading manufacture

BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Market Writer.

CHICAGO, March 80. Wheat
prices closed higher today for the
first time in five sessions, but the
advance was feeble and met consid-
cradle resistance.
Closing quotations were k-k cent
higher than yesterday and within
IA Of the best levels of the day
which were scored early in the ses-
sion. After the opening advance,
wheat reacted to slightly below pre-
vious closing levels at one stage.
May wheat finished at 81 .045s-12 and
July $l.03as-A.
Clearing weather in the Southwest
without any material moisture relief
having been received this week and
prospects Of only light rain the mid
die of next week accounted for most
OF the buying. Mills were in the
market at times, however, and the
complicated international situation
also attracted attention. Grain men
said the recent peace complex"
which has permeated the trade ap-
parently has been dissipated.
Corn closed unchanged to a
higher, May, 565s; July, 57ss-A;
oats unchanged to 4 lower: rye n
ss higher and lard to higher.
Reports of diminished selling of
loan wheat tended to strengthen the
market at times, although hedging
continued to contribute to the selling.
The IL principal markets received
$4,000 bushels, compared with L.
100000 week ago and $4,000 a
year ago. but the total for the week
was 5,789 900 bushels, about 1900 900
greater than the previous week and
100000 greater than a year ago.
The Government report showed
that the amount of grain under loan
was reduced 1888 900 bushels the
week ending March 81 to 108 8,595 ,O34
bushels. compared with a peak of
167,000,000 in January. The reduc-
tion the previous week was almost
