Electrical Appliance Sales
Far Below Year Ago
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 9.-For the
first time since the war started in
Europe, sales of electrical appliances
by distributors in May were consid-
erably below the same month in the
previous year, due principally to the
curtailment in production ordered by
1.-THE Government.
A tabulation by trade sources of
distributors sales in May showed
that in some cases volume fell as
much as so per cent from the l94l
level. Production of great major
ity of electrical appliances ended on
May 80. and. while manufacturers
were allowed to operate at higher
rate in that final month. a steady
decline in material inventories pre-
vented many from taking advantage
of this situation.
Retail sales also have begun to
show the effects of restricted output
trade sources said, although retail
ers' stocks were found by the sur
vey to be generally adequate to cover
absolute needs during the remainder
of 1912. The big variety formerly
available, however, will be missing.

N THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE
Scattered Stocks Up,
But Profit Taking
Hits Others ,
Most Changes Limited
To Fractions; Coins
Cut Before Close
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, June 9.-Scattered
stock market favorities today ad-
vanced for the sixth consecutive ses-
sion but profit taking on the lengthy
swing jolted an assortment of lead
ers into the losing column.
Bullish war sentiment continued
as the main bolstering influence.
Hopes that strengthening of the
United Nations offensive would
bring the end of the world conflict
appreciably closer again served to
bolster many issues in the so-called
peace classification although the
broad upturn inspired the thought
that lot of cheerful battle bulle-
tins may have been partly dis
counted. Anyway. it was suggested
that the market was due for a rest.
The list pointed selectively higher
at the start. While a few gains of
1 to points were in evidence, vari-
ationS, on the whole, were In small
fractions. In the final hour ex-
treme advances were reduced in the
majority of cases and declines were
plentiful.
Eastman Kodak, which ran up
7aa points yesterday largely on short
covering, today returned a sizable
portion Of the rally.
Dealings, relatively fast in the
forenoon, tapered off after mid
day but transfers for the full
proceedings approximated 100000
shares.
General Motors made a new top
for the year before meeting some
opposition. United Fruit developed
following when directors voted
the regular 81 quarterly dividend.
Well ahead at one time or another
were American Telephone, Du Pont,
Dow Chemical and Allied Chemical.
United States Steel and Bethlehem

PJ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 9-While most
grains and soybeans maintained a
fairly firm undertone,, price levels
near the close we're we'll below the
best levels of the session today.
Wheat and rye, which at times
showed net gains for the day of
around cent bushel, f1uctuated
nervously. Corn was relatively
weaker, frequently dipping below the
previous closing levels.
On the dips, attributed to light
volume of trade and frequent dry
ing up of buying interest, rye sagged
to new low marks for the season.
In yesterdays session rye lost 3
cents.
A rally just before the close
boosted prices.

Substantial Decline
In April Gasoline
Needs Forecast
Mines Bureau Data
Bosed on Tire and
Fuel Curbs
By the Associated Press.

6y tne AsSOclateo PreSS.
A substantial drop in the Nations
total demands for gasoline during
April, because of tire rationing and
a 20 per cent motor fuel curtail-
ment in the East and Pacific North
west, was forecast yesterday by the
Bureau Of Mines.
The bureau estimated $500, 900
barrels Of motor fuel would be need
ed next month, and said this was
about 100000 barrels less than
might have been expected" had
there been no rubber and gasoline
restrictions.
Meanwhile, Petroleum Co-ordi-
nator Ickes reported that tank car
movement Of petroleum to the East
last week again set q new record,
with the railroads delivering 1861
barrels daily In an effort to combat
the seaboard oil emergency resulting
from shortage of tanker ships.
The railroads used 14,453 cars in
this operation. The previous record
of 439, 200 barrels daily was set in
the week ended March a. Until the
emergency developed, virtually all
the East's oil was supplied by tank
ers plying between Gulf and Atlantic
ports.
The bureau pointed out that in
January the total demand for gaso-
line of domestic origin was 10 per
cent greater than for the previous
January, but that during February
gain Of only per cent was indi-
Gated over the corresponding month
in 194l. For April the forecast was
that the demand would be about
per cent under April, 1941.
This sharp drop in the relative
demand for motor fuel, notwith-
standing the influence Of adverse
weather conditions, the bureau said,
indicated a greater and more i'm
mediate effect of tire rationing than
was anticipated. With the initia-
ton March l9 Of the program to
curtail gasoline deliveries in the
East Coast and the Pacific North
west. a further substantial cut in
normal motor fuel demands is ex-
pected."

subcontractors in solving financial
problems in connecting with war
orders, was announced today by the

function and personnel of the finan-
cial section Of the w. P. B. contract
distribution branch and will be

York City, chief of the section since

disburse any funds to contractors,

ious to obtain war contracts.

arranged by the bureau wherever
possible through commercial banks,

it had been possible in the past to
obtain commercial loans for con-
tractors by advising them on con-
solidation Of outstanding obligations
or by demonstrating that their war
contracts were sound security for
loans.
w. P. B. asserted that the bureaus
functions, being purely advisory.
would not conflict in any way with
the lending operations of banks or

Extension Of Zinc Control
Order Is Anticipated
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. March 28.-Reports
current in non-ferrous metals cir
cles said today the zinc control
order probably would be extended
temporarily for another two months
at its expiration at the end Of this
month.
After that period, these reports
said, the War Production Board
probably will be ready to impose
100 per cent control over the dis
tribution Of zinc, somewhat along
the lines of the copper plan.
The April zinc pool, trade sources
said, probably would see the high
grade and special high grade sec
tions boosted to so per cent of
smelter production from the so per
cent of March, while the lower grade
pool would remain unchanged at 40
per cent.
Lead users look forward to heavier
imports in April, and expect that
the April domestic lead pool will
change little from the Is per cent
Of March. The foreign metal COM
ing available in April may reach
10000 tons against $1,000 tons this
month, these quarters estimated.
The copper industry planned for
April ALLEGATIONS, expected at the
start of the week, to start shipments
to consumers.
