Brass lngof Prices Raised
To Meet Higher Costs
BY the Associated Press.

~ TIC ASSOCldIeI fIeSS.
NEW YORK, April IAN ad-
vance in ceiling prices Of two classi-
fications of brass ingots to COM
pensate for use Of new copper and
tin was the chief development in
nonferrous metal markets last week.
Usually brass is made from scrap
materials, but due to scarcity an
increasing amount of new metals
has been used, with resulting higher
costs. Advances approved by the
Office of Price Administration
ranged from "a to Ia cents q
pound.
Industry sources expect consump-
tion of copper to reach record totals
this month and next and the trade
is exerting efforts to get new copper
out to all consumers.
Some consumers of lead are re-
ported to have alreday placed small
orders for domestic metal, even
though books for May have not
yet opened. 1t is anticipated that
about $4,000 tons of refined foreign
lead will be needed to supplement
the domestic supply for March.
The zinc market was quiet, with
March and April consumption ex-
|pected to show gains over preceding
months, but not quite sufficient
to absorb all the supply available.
Orders for steel continue to pile
up. The industry reports that an
export inquiry for steel sheets has
further frightened the supply sit
uation.

Further Cut in Civilian
Cotton Textiles Foreseen
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 1.-Smaller
supplies of cotton textiles for civil
ians in the second quarter were
forecast following continued Gov
ernment orders and directives dur
ing the week.
Outstanding development was a
War Production Board order to
duck mills to produce in the sec
ond quarter at least as much duck
as they did in the first period.
Duck needs for the balance of the
year were estimated at 100000. 900
yards, and trade circles doubt that
the second-quarter production quota
can be met.
Scattered lots of print cloths and
sheetings were released for the bag
ging trade, but aggregate volume for
the week was small.
The Army announced opening of
bids on April Z for 13,500,000 yards
of sheetings.
Woolen and worsted mills made
only small releases of fall line goods
to the trade because of indications
that Government buying would be
increased.
Rayon mill operations concen-
traded largely on Government con-
tracts, with small volume of goods
pieced out during the week.

After viewing moving pictures Of
the Redskins game with the Bears
last Sunday Coach Dud De Groot
has decided his gang didn't look SC
bad after ALL.
IN fact Tathink we outplayed
them completely in the first period
and held our own in the second, u
he said. with the exception of a
few situations when we were caught
mapping I thought the team looked
all right in the last half"
Just the same De Groot is putting
the squad through two workouts
daily this week to have it ready for
the first game of the title race
against Philadelphia Sunday in the
Eagles baliwick. The extra session
however, has been tackled on for
Frank Filchock's benefit, the coach
said.
Its one thing to understand this
T formation, and another to be able
to use it. You've got to run it over
and over again to get it down and
Frank needs the work because he's
far behind the rest of the boys. I
still think he's going to be a tre-
mendous help to us, but he's got to
have time to get into the groove"
Whether the squad will have the
benefit of Frank Atkins services the
