D. C. Total at $114,782,918
Against $86,358,879
in 1936 Month.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.
That business in the Capital in
March was the best of any March since
1929 was indicated today by the Wash
ington Clearing House Association’s
monthly report on bank clearings.
March clearings totaled $114,782,
918.50, against S86.358.879.19 in March
of last year, and the highest figures
since March, 1929, when clearings
reached $131,795,928.93
Today’s figures brought the total for
the first three months of this year up
to $307,537,372.96, against $251,370,
950.44 in the first quarter of 1936, a
gain of $56,166,422.52.
Since 1929 Washington clearings
have been through a big slump and
then turned definitely upward. In
1930 March clearings totaled $114,113.
696.73, slightly under today's figure.
In 1931 ciearings here amounted to
$112,443,159.34. In 1932 they dropped
to $89,616,463.59 and in March, 1933,
tumbled to $32,644,947.37. In 1934
they turned upward to $62,209,874.10
and in March 1935 got up to $74,112,
669.72.
Clearings in the first three months
of 1937 compare as follows, with the
corresponding months in 1936:
January $100,562,083.88 $86,990,549.44
February _ 92,192,370.58 78.024,521.81

larger than last year. If last year's
mark is exceeded, the convention will
be the largest since the depression.
It is expected that around 250 mem
bers. Government officials and other
guests will attend.
Weather Cuts Gas Earnings.
The monthly report of the Washing
ton Gas Light Co. filed today with the
Public Utilities Commission reflects
the effect of the abnormally warm
weather during February, this year.
Operating revenues for this February
were $748,311, compared with $842,517
for the same month last year, a de
crease of $94,206.
However, operating expenses de
creased $28,386 and the result of the
month's operation after all deductions
was a net income of $138,909. a de
crease of $69,432 from February of
last year. The February earnings
bring the net income of the first two
months of the current year up to
$264,948. compared with $363,585 a
year ago.
The company reports gas sales of
1,084 million cubic feet for February,
1937, compared with 1,226 million
cubic feet last year. This diminution
In volume clearly shows the effect of
the 7-degree higher average tempera
ture this February. At the end of the
month the company had 145,244
meters in service in the District of
Columbia, a gain of 7,511 meters over
February last year.
Maryland Building Soars.
Building in Maryland cities outside
of Baltimore increased more than 400
per cent in February over the mark
set in the same month a year ago. an
Associated Press dispatch states. The
Federal Reserve Bank, in reporting the
amount of building and its cost, said
the number of building projects in
creased from 12 last year to 44 in Feb
ruary this year.
The bank’s figures were taken from
the number of building permits issued
in Cumberland, Hagerstown, Frederick
and Salisbury, the four Maryland
cities covered by the report. The re
port did not assign any reason for the
increase, but observers pointed out
that the weather in February, 1937, was
much milder than in the same month
the previous Winter. The warmer
weather, they said, would permit more
building to begin which otherwise
would have been delayed until Spring.
In Baltimore, more than twice as
many permits were issued in Febru
ary, 1937, as in the same month of
the previous year, but the total cost
Of the building was considerably lower.
The gain in the number of per
mits in smaller Maryland cities, of
about 350 per cent, may be contrasted
with a gain of only 45 per cent for
the Federal Reserve district as a
whole. This includes Maryland, West
Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina. For the whole dis
trict. residential construction ac
counted for 40.3 per cent of the total,
as compared with 37.4 the previous
year, the dispatch said.

NEW YORK, March 31— Metals
| and oils rode rough-shod over profit
selling in today's stock market, but
many steels, motors and rails lacked
sufficient vigor to extend the sharp
rally started yesterday.
Favored issues retained gains of
fractions to 2 or more points at fte
close, although there was a sizable as
sortment of losers of as much in
evidence.
Postponement of the Chrysler labor
peace negotiations until Friday was a
mildly retarding influence, as was an
other decline in United States Gov
ernment securities. Commodities on
the whole were reactionary.
rne market enjoyed its mam activ
ity in the morning. The pace slowed
appreciably after noon. Transfers
were around 1,700,000 shares.
Strength of so-called commodity
shares tended to give board room sen
timent a slightly inflationary tmge,
although there were still thoughts the
administration may step in to halt
any exceptional “boom.” Business
and earnings statements inspired buy
ing of individual stocks.
Shares well ahead most of the day
included Anaconda, Kennecott. Amer
ican Smelting. Phelps Dodge, Cerro
de Pasco. Standard Oils of New Jer
sey, California and Indiana, Seaboard
Oil, Texas Corp., Plymouth Oil. Ohio
Oil, J. I Case, Deere. American Tele
