By tbs Associated Press. NEW YORK. March 15.—A slack ening of the trading pace today held bond prices to narrow ranges as minor losses predominated The absence of inclination either to buy or sell was demonstrated in all sections of the list, particularly in the domestic corporate quarter, where late in the morning bonds moved from plus to minus signs or vice versa on single, small transactions. Ameri can Telephone 3i4s opened higher but reversed its position on light volume. Other loans to move similarly were numerous. Great Northern 4s reacted more than 2 points, duplicating their trend of last week, while major fractions were pared from International Hydro Electric 6s, McKesson & Robbins 5»/2s and Western Union 5s. Frisco 4’ys also gave up nearly a point, Remington-Rand 4>4s broke about 512 points following activity of the Department of Labor in connection with the company's labor relations, one outgrowth of which was the re consideration of a Federal contract •warded the company. - United States Governments moved unevenly with losses prevailing. De clines ranged to 3-32 of a point and • few issues moved ahead 1-32 or 2-32. INVESTING COMPANIES *ZS& York (Noon Quotations.!

By the Associated press. ST 1X>UIS, March 15—The Na tional Retail Credit Association re ported average increases in collections and credit sales of 5 per cent and 7.8 per cent, respectively, in 54 cities dur ing February. The gains were ap proximately the same as those for the corresponding month last year, the association’s report showed. Increased employment and higher wages in many sections of the coun try were advanced as chief reasons for the February gains. Strikes in some localities retarded the upswing, however, the report said. Thirty-seven cities reported increases in collections, with Columbus, Nebr., where a 26 per cent gain was reported, heading the list. Ten cities reported decreases in collections, compared to February, 1936, while geven indicated | no chance. Credit sales increased in 44 cities. Six reported decreases and four no change. Youngstown, Ohio, had the greatest gain in credit sales, 37.8 per cent, the association’s report said. Pampa, Tex., reported the greatest decrease, 22 per cent. Collections and credit sales were uniformly good in Florida, due to "no unemployment” and steady business conditions, the report said. Several new industries at Charleston, S. C., were credited for substantial increases i In both collections and sales there. Increased prices for farm products in Kentucky and better employment i conditions In the lead and zinc mines at Joplin, Mo., were listed as causes for a marked upswing in those sec tions.
