D. {. Express Volume
Again Sets Record
During March
Shipments in First
Quarter Also Hit
AII-Time Peck
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Further evidence of the present
business boom in the Capital, in
cluding the heaviest dollar volume
of Easter trade on record, came
from the Railway Express Agency
today in a report which revealed
that March express shipments broke
all previous totals for that month
and that new marks were also set
in the first three months of this
year.
Express shipments in and out of
Washington during March totaled
2l6,823 items, against 197,41i in
March, 1941, an increase of 19,412
shipments or gain of 9.8 per cent,
Supt. w. o. R. Hannah announced
today.
Shipments in the first three
months of this year reached $685.
224, compared with 530,352 in the
first quarter of 1941, a notable in
crease of 62,872 shipments, Mr.. Han
nan added.
The fact that Easter comes a week
earlier this year than last is point
ed out by express officials as NOV
ing a certain amount of April bus
iness back into March. The March
volume was the largest this year.
Shipments in the first three
months of 1912 compare as follows
with the same months in 1941:

Market Trend No Worse
Than Shade Uneven
In Dull Session
By.VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer,


NEW YORK. April Am assort-
ment of stock market leaders man
aged to work little higher in to-
days brief session although numer-
ous issues dozed at slightly lower
levels.
Boardrooms were more or less de-
serted-many customers elected to
stretch out the Good Friday recess
over the week end-but some who
appeared inclined to slip in a bid
here and there on the persistent
thought that the recent drying up
of selling might be construed as
bulliSh.
Scant speculative or investment
optimism was found in the war news
or business developments. The tax
outlook still was a fair-sized OBJ
stacle and the possibility Congress
would pass law drastically limit
ing profits of corporations served
as a brake on sentiment. Broaden
ing price controls, growing scarcities
and rationing also kept many poten-
tial buyers in the conservative ranks.
The list got off to a moderately
easier start in fairly active dealings.
Plus signs then began to show up
in various departments and the close
was no worse than a shade uneven.
Transfers for the two hours were
around 175,000 shares.
Resistant most of the time were
Southern Pacific, American Tele-
phone, General Motors, Montgomery
Ward, American Smelling, Ameri-
can Can, Philip Morris, j. c. Penney,
Eastman Kodak, Westinghouse,
General Electric and Allied Chem
ical.
United States Steel, Bethlehem,
Republic and Youngstown Sheet
never got anywhere in particular, al
though next weeks mill operations
were expected to be maintained at
or near the record high mark.
On the downSide at intervals were
Western Union, Santa Fe, Standard
Oil IN. j., Anaconda, Chrysler,
United Aircraft, Goodrich, United
States Rubber, International Nickel,
Caterpillar Tractor and Consoli-
dated Edison.
Bonds we're narrowly mixed and
major commodities steady.

Today's express reports follow
similar very sharp March and first
quarter advances in bank clearings
and postal receipts in the Capital.
Two Issues Taken Quickly.
Two issues of short term con-
solidated debentures of the Federal
Home Loan Banks were oversub-
scribed within a few hours after
they were offered.
The obligations included $18,0O0,-
900 of "a per cent debentures due
December l, 1912, and priced to yield
0.65 per cent, and S24.000,000 with
coupon rate of Is per cent ma
turing February /, 1943, priced to
yield OTIS per cent. Both issues are
dated April Is.
Funds obtained from the deben-
lures are used to supplement the
. resources of the u regional Home
Loan Banks to meet unusual home
financing activities of their $3.50
member institutions, especially for
war housing.

New Orleans and outside buying

an official said it would be sense
less" to speculate on the amount
which each consumer would actu-
ally receive.
The estimate of 80 pounds of
Gamer goods per year per person
made by Food Administrator Claude
Wickard when he announced ra-
tioning-was said to present a pes
simistic picture.
Millions Use No Canned Goods.
This estimate was arrived at by
dividing the estimated supply OF
canned goods by the number OF
people in the country. As a mat
ter of fact, there are millions of
people in the country who do not
use canned goods.
Their share of food will 60 to
those who do use it, increasing the
allotment of the average consumer
1t was emphasized that it was i'm
possible at this point to figure out
how much food each person would
be allowed under rationing
The canned goods rationing pro-
gram was announced in a special
statement by Price Administrator
Leon Henderson on Sunday. Rea-
sons for it were explained later by
Mr.. Wickard and Office of War In
formation Director Elmer Davis in
a special radio broadcast.
To be included In the program
are almost all kinds of canned fruits
and vegetables as we'll as dried and
