In Futures Must Be Chunoed

expect the normal in times like
these
II am inclined to believe that y
price ceilings on futures are flxed
in proper relation TO ceilings on
spot commodities, the machinery of
future trading may be kept intact.
The volume will not be large,
but the market could function and
could serve q useful purpose in
facilitating the kind of time con-
tracts that are desirable as means
Of assuring the orderly flow of sup
plies for future use. Even with
ceilings, merchants and professors
will be confronted with considerable
risk growing out of the uncertainty
of war developments.
They may be willing to sell fu-
lures at prices somewhat below the
comparable ceiling price of spots If
the difference is one which reflects
only a reasonable cost for price
insurance. Certainly there should be
enough buyers at prices slightly be-
low the ceilings TO maintain some

NEW YORK. April 25.-The stock
market today put the brakes on
! the weeks sharp decline through
a moderate lift in prices Just before
/ the close.
Prior to the turn many of the
leaders had moved sluggishly to
| fractionally lower levels. American
Telephone sold off point to a new
four-year low, but shaded its loss
at the end
Persistent heaviness in a few of
the pivotal industrials was an off,
set to the recovery trends elsewhere
and the Associated Press 60-stock
composite was unchanged at 80 3.
the lowest level reached since April.
1898. Transactions were l56400
shares, compared with lS4,660 in the
short session a week ago.
Short Covering Helps.
Short covering accounted for a
considerable part of the demand
and it might have helped the mar
ket's tone still more were 1t not
for a further small flow of selling
from speculative holders seeking to
trim sail for the Monday message
of President Roosevelt on price
control measures.
Stocks modestly ahead at the close
included Sears, Roebuck; Douglas
Aircraft, Goodyear. American Can,
Standard Oil IN. j., Western
Union, International Harvester.
United States Gypsum and East
man Kodak, the last named rising
~ points.
In minus territory were Johns
Manville, American Smelling, Sperry
and Owens-Illinois. Marked up
slightly in the rail group were Great
Northern and Chesapeake & Ohio.
Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph preferred we're helped by re-
ports indicating progress in the move
for legislative action to permit their
consolidation.
Gain Slightly on Curb.
In the curb small gains were re-
corded by Beech Aircraft. American
Gas and Glen Alden Coal. Of a
little were American Cynamid. E
w. Bliss and Sherwin Williams.
Dealings here were about 27,700
shares against $4,000 the previous
Saturday.
On the week the stock market
Welded substantial ground after
struggling for a recovery footing
Monday and Tuesday. The 60-stock
composite dropped 8 of a point,
chiefly on loses registered Thurs
day and Friday.
Much of the selling in these ses-
sions was attributed by brokers to
disbursement over the profits
prospects for industry in the light
of expected heavy tax boosts and
application Of new economic con-

Over the week price trends were
consistent with those of the week

several months in which the market
has registered progressive declines
In the latest period, however, the
major influences were domestic af-

New Cars for Sale,
But Nobody Wants
Them Now
Even Eligible Buyers
Halted by Fears of
Seizure Later
By DAVID ]. WILKIE.

WlQe WOTIQ AuLOmOllVe EdlLOT.
DETROIT, April 25.-There are
something like $4,000 new passen-
ger automobiles for sale but, accord
ing to the National Automobile
Dealers Association, nobody seems
to want them; buyers are on q
strike"
This somewhat anomalous situa-
ton, in the opinion of industry ex-
perts, grows out of a combination
Of circumstances, including fears Of
future confiscation Of vehicles or
tires, gasoline rationing plans, lack
of dealer effort to sell and the tight
ness of the car -ratiOning program
as administered thus far
The recently announced Eastern
gasoline rationing project, the trade
experts assert, confirmed expecta-
tions of many car owners, who now
look for its more widespread appl-
cation.
Dealers Ruin Feared.
The dwindling demand for new
cars comes at a time when the
problem of transporting hundreds of
thousands of war factory workers is
taking on sizable proportions and
as the industry is becoming increas-
ingly apprehensive over the future
of the dealer organization.
Manufacturing division heads are
divided as to the value of various
plans for dealer relief in the form
Of loans or the repurchase by the
factories of unsold cars. While these
plans permit dealer liquidation they
do not aid in efforts to keep at least
substantial part of the retailing
division of the industry together for
present essential service operations
and for postwar sales activity.
Since last August when the 1912
model year began about 16 per cent
of the dealers have gone out of
business. They represented about
8 per cent of the sales potentiality
Of the retailing division. Among the
more optimistic of the manufactur-
ing division sales executives it is
estimated that by the year-end from
Is to 80 per cent of the retailers
will be forced to liquidate. They
will represent about Is to 18 per
cent of the sales potential, these
sources believe.
Program Unpopular.
The rationing program has been
anything but popular with the re-
tailers and the manufacturers.
Many of the latter believe that even
with the restricted volume Of new
cars available the retailers could
have carried on profitabIy had ra-
tioning not tied up their sales.
They point out that the situation
automatically eliminated overtrad-
ing and that gross profit thus con-
ceivably could have been as much
on 10 vehicles as it would on 80 in
a normal, highly competitive era.
Aside from the tightness of the
rationing program, the former car
builders believe stories about pos
sible future seizure of privately
