Advances on Supply
Difficulties
BY the Associated Press.

Secretary Jones said Yesterday
business activity continued to ad-

draft of the defense program" and
pushed industrial output to a new
high.
Electric output during the month
was at the highest sustained level
ever recorded. the Commerce De-
partment chief said, and carloadings
were higher than for any comparable
period within 10 years.
Jones noted, however, that there
was accommodating evidence of sup
ply difficulties" reflected by the
sharpest increase in commodity prices
since the outbreak of the European
war and by the expansion of controls
by defense authorities. Prices of %
commodities rose 10 per cent during
March as the result of the 'implica-
tions of the lend-lease program
and the growing inadequacy of ship
ping facilities. Jones said.
He said construction activity had
increased under the impetus of a
heavy plant and residential de-
mand, and that the months retail
sales remained exceedingly favor
able" despite limitations placed by
income tax payments.
