Differentiol Sought
In Tobacco Ceilings
BY the Associated Press.


RALEIGH, N. c., Mar. 25.-Caro-
lnas and Virginia tobacco growers
Will seek a price differential of s7.52
hundred pounds between united.
ungraded tobacco sold on the
Georgia-F1orida belt and the tied,
graded tobacco sold in the Carolinas
and Virginia.
The differential figure, voted yes
terday at a meeting of tobacconists
OF the Carolinas and Virginia here.
Will be used Monday as the basis of
a discussion which will precede pres
entation of their cause to the Office
OF Price Administration.
The growers disapproved of al
locations to buyers, and favored the
extension of the quota system two
more years.

Stocks Irregular
|After Drifting
Down in Week
Few Roll, Specially
Issues Show Quiet
Strength at Close
BY BERNARD s. O'HARA.
Assc cfated Press FINANCIAL Writer,

NEW YORK, Mar. 25.-A few rails
and specialties today finished a
definitely losing stock market week
with show of quiet strength but
many leaders were unsuccessful in
surmounting further profit cashing.
The fact that the list, on balance.
had risen to within i of point Of
its bull market top of last July, and
then failed to follow through, in
spired the trimming Of commit
ments Monday. Rails led a brisk
rally Tuesday as February revenues
for the carriers disclosed a good ex-
pansion over the 1943 month. There
was a resumption of offerings in all
groups Wednesday and the sharpest
stumble since February 7 was suf-
fered Thursday.
Dealings Restricted.
Modest recoveries appeared Fri
day but, with Prime Minister
Churchill's intimations the invasion
might get under way soon, dealings
dropped to 41,730 shares after 10
successive better -than-a- million full
sessions. Aside from the transport
division, investment demand CEN
tered mainly on specialities and new
highs for the year or longer were
plentiful.
Eearnings and dividends, in addi-
ton to persistent political hopeful
ness, served to prop fayorites from
Monday on. Trends were cloudy
from the beginning to the close of
the short session and activity small.
Average Is Unchanged.
The Associated Press 6o-stock
average was unchanged at 52.6 but
on the week was down 5 of point,
most substantial six-day fall since
early February. Transfers totaled
447, 7,73O shares, low aggregate since
March 4, and compared with 727,2oQ
last Saturday.
Peaks for 1914 were scored during
the day by Park & T1lford, which
was an outstanding climber during
the week on expectations the COM
pany would announce whisky divi-
dend; Kansas City Southern, Texas
Gulf Producing, Philip Morris and
Glenn Martin. Losers included U.
S. Steel, Santa Fe, Great Northern,
Sears Roebuck, Westinghouse and
| Anaconda.
Colts patent fire arms, in the
curb, added q of point to its sharp
tumble OF Friday on the first omis-
sion of dividend since 1917.

Chicago Grain

CHICAGO, Mar, 25, LP,.-Grains inched
higher today in the steady advance which
has featured trading. during the latter
part OF this week and the reason behind
the upturn remained the same-the
scarcity of cash grain, at terminal mar
kets IN comparison with the strong de-
mand from feed manufacturers
Toward the close of the session it ap-
peared that little more proft-takils
was entering all pits. May wheat was
onered freely at Its ceiling OF I.73ss

Similarly, May oats was offered slightly
