Retail
Volume
Steady
"

Retail trade kept pace with the
previous seven days totals as
consumer interest in Spring ap-
parel held up despite cold weather
earlier in the week. according To
Dun & BradStreet, Inc
Gains of 5 per cent to 8 per
cent were recorded over the cor
responding period last year. The
upturn is more favorable than il
appears when it is considered that
Easter was only a week away al
this time last year and Spring
buying was almost at its peak.
The increase spread over all
lines with car sales and builders
supplies showing the largest gains.
Wholesale activity likewise held
about even with the previous week
and remained at about 10 per cent
over the corresponding 1910
period. Collections are above last
year and little resistance is re-
ported TO slight price advances or
some items.

.SeeszenithS Sales
At New High

CHICAGO, March Is. - Ship
ments of 1871 model radio sets by
Zenith Radio Corporation cur
rently are running almost three
times ahead of this period a year
ago. The close of the compsny,s
fiscal year on April 80 will proba-
bly, see the years total unit sales
at new high, with earnings ma
terially ahead of 1910.
The company has not yet issued
an earnings statement for the nine
months ended January 81 last, but
the report for that period will
show continuation into the third
quarter Of the sharp improvement
in Zenith's business experienced in
the preceding half-year.
For the nine months ended Jan.
81, 1910, Zenith's net income was
$685. before federal income
taxes. For the similar period this
year income before federal taxes
should exceed 81 300, 900.
An important factor in the firms
heightened sales volume has been
the popularity of table-modei sets
and battery-operated portables.
Although these receivers sell in the
lower retail price brackets. they
afford a satisfactory profit margin.
particularly when volume output is
maintained.

Forbes
One Company
Head Defends
Full Reports
BY q. G. FORBES

The president of one company.
who issues a comprehensive.
lucid. explanatory annual report.
has received a letter of criticism
from a company president who
doesn't.
The latter's arguments are,
first. that issuing such complete
reports establishes q precedent
. (which might prove embarrass-
ing In the future IL earnings Of
corporations should show vast
Improvement; secon d, that
fewer people are likely to read
lengthy statements.
My own verdict can be ex-
pressed in one word: bunk.
Since investors are the ones
who make the establishment Of
an enterprise possible by supply
ing the capital, why should they
not be entitled to demand of
arrangements a full account Of
their stewardship annually? Any
concern not willing to do so has
no right to invite the public to
invest in it.

Troublesome Spot

One troublesome spot has been
zinc. In February zinc stocks
fell to an extremely low level,
under 5000 tons. Producers
were allocating the limited sup
plies to consumers at a pcgged
price. But l believe that relief
is in sight.
In February. basic commodity
prices rose for the sixth consecu-
tive month. This is the most
sustained rise in a long while.
and almost completely wipes out
the price recession Of December.
1939-August. 1910. II should
help to restore business conf
dence.
Probably, however. the rise in
physical volume of trade was
not in proportion TO the rise in
prices. and this suggests an i'm
portant fact. II is almost GER
tain that in February the gen.
eral level of buyers bids was
raised, and that demand was in
tensified in many industries.
This fits in with the idea that
where there are bottle necks or
scarcities. it is generally due to
an intensification of demand.

Trade Continues
At High Level
In February
BY LEWIS HANEY

Prsassssr Of Ees.smsss. n. Y. Usivsrusty
On the average, industrial
production and business activity
were little changed in February.
Both were high. But there was
q ore mixed condition. and
some decline occurred. notably
In the case of iron and steel pro-
duction.
Perhaps factory pay rolls and
the volume of bank checks can
be taken n typical. These I'M
portant statistics showed prac-
tically no change other than sea-
sonal variation. If anything.
they were slightly off. But no
more than might be explained
by error in the adjustment.
Does this hesitation or flat
spot mean q rounding off in the
expansion! Have we reached
peak levels in q business cycle!
Probably these questions are
to be answered in the negative.
