POSTAL RECEIPTS
CLIMB FURTHER
March Total Hits $685,946
Against $601,077 for
Same 1936 Month.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.
Further evidence that business in
the National Capital is going ahead
steadily came to light today in the
report of receipts at the City Post
Office in March, the gain being much
more notable than at the end of Feb
ruary.
March postal revenues totaled $685,
946.73, in comparison with $601,077, in
March, 1936. an outstanding increase
of $84,869.73, and one of the sharpest
advances in several months in com
parison with the like periods a year
ago.
Today's figures also made available
comparisons for the first quarter of
1937 with the same quarter in 1936.
Receipts at the City Post Office in the
first three months of the present year
amounted to $1,845,348, against $1,
791,675 a year ago, a gain in 1937
of $53,673.
This gain, however, is not nearly as
Impressive as the March figures, the
reason being that postal revenues
recorded a drop in January. Follow
ing December receipts, which smashed
all previous records for Christmas
holiday business in the history of the j
Capital, there was naturally a let- j
down in January. That slump brought j
the gain for the three months below j
the sharp pick-up for March alone.
Postal receipts are considered a par
ticularly accurate indicator of busi
ness conditions and trends. They are
made up of money taken in for regu
lar postage, special delivery stamps,
airmail, registered mail, parcel post
and other sources. For the first three
months of 1937 these revenues com
pare as follows with the correspond
ing months in 1936:
1937. 1936.
January . $577,503 $612,593
February _ 581.899 578,005
March —. 685,946 601,077
Total _$1,845,348 $1,791,675
Most Loans at 6 Per Cent.
Member banks in the Federal Re
serve system most frequently charge j
their customers 6 per cent for loans,:
Reserve Board governors report as the j
result of a recent survey.
In larger cities a rate of 5 per cent ■
end frequently as low as lu per cent j
was charged, but in small cities and
towns “country” banks charge 8 per j
cent and 10 per cent, according to the
board's study. These rates show a j
slight decline from pre-depression j
levels, the board said.
The board explained that 6 per cent
was the rate “most frequently”
charged, that is, on the largest num
ber of loans, whereas the largest dollar
volume of loans probably is made by
city banks at much lower rates.
Passenger uams tjrauivins.
E. H. Whitlock, general agent in
Washington of the Great Northern
Railway, which has just reported net
earnings in 1936 of $3.98 per share,
against $2.87 a years ago. reports that
officials were especially pleased with
the gains in passenger travel. The
Great Northern was one of the very j
first roads to adopt the lower fares, j
coach fares at 2 cents a mile and first- '
class fares at 3 cents. The road was
severely criticized by Eastern rail of
ficials. The results, however, have far
exceeded expectations.
In a statement sent to Slauson,
White & Rowe. Thatcher C. Jones,
economist of Independence Fund of
North America, says that the Supreme
Court's validation of the Washington
State minimum wage act, in which
it was recognized that the general
welfare of the public requires pro
tection of women and children, will
be accepted by the public as a great
boon to this class, which is more or
less defenseless in its bargaining
power. Though higher wages will
raise the cost of production of minor
industries and possibly result in
higher prices for their products, it is
improbable that the results will have
any important bearing on profits or
security values of the great majority
of companies whose securities are of j
general investment interest, the econ- :
omist adds.
Auto Club Membership Grows.
An increase of 117.6 per cent in
membership of the Keystone Auto
mobile Club during the first three
months of 1937, as compared with the
corresponding period of last year, is
reported by George E. Keneipp, club
manager, who considers this growth
as a reliable index of the local eco
nomic situation, which he describes
as being "remarkably substantial and
6howing improvement,”
The Keystone executive added that
“it is significant that the gains have
been made from month to month
■without a relapse, further indication
of the steadiness of the local business
status."

BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, April 6 —Steels broke
1 to more than 3 points in today's
stock market and many other issues
back-tracked for losses of nearly as
much.
Wall Street could f.nd little in the
news to weaken the list, although
another decline in United States Gov
ernment securities, following word
from Washington the Treasury would
be forced to borrow new cash to meet
an upward revision in the budget, was
thought to have been a restraining
influence.
Grain futures fell sharply and non
ferrous metals reacted in sympathy
with a downturn in London.
Stock dealings were unusually quiet
during most of the proceedings, but
volume expanded on the afternoon
sell-off. Some support appeared in the
final hour and most severely depressed
leaders finished above their day’s lows.
Transfers were around 1.250,000
shares.
Chrysler did better lor a while as
the financial district heard predictions
the corporation’s strike negotiations
were about to be concluded amicably.
It fell back with other former favorites
later. General Motors also stumbled.
Conspicuous on the retreat were
United States Steel. Bethlehem. Re
public, American Steel Foundries,
Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Goodyear,
United States Rubber, Anaconda. Ken
necott. International Nickel, Phelps
Dodge, Woolworth, J. I. Case. Deere,
Douglas Aircraft, St. Joseph Lead.
American Telephone, Standard Oil of
New Jersey. Texas Corp., Seaboard O:!,
Westinghouse, Du Pont, General Elec
tric, Skelly Oil, Bamsdall, New York
Central, Southern Pacific. Baltimore
& Ohio, Paramount and Loew’s.
In the resistant division, some end
ing with moderate advances, were
Crown Zellerbach, Container Corp.,
International Paper, Virginia Caro
lina Chemical, Industrial Rayon,
Celanese and Montgomery Ward.
Utilities were only fractionally in
arrears.
NEW YORK COTTON
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 6 —Cotton de
clined today under liquidation in
fluenced by easiness of other markets
and absence of fresh buying. July sold -
off from 14.35 to 14.26 and prices gen
erally in midaftemoon showed net
losses of 9 to 13 points.
Futures closed steady. 12 to 20 lower.

New Orleans Prices.
NEW ORLEANS. April 6 —An easier
price tone prevailed at the opening of
the New Orleans cotton market today
While losses were held under 25 cents a
1 bale, there appeared to be little buying
demand.
May opened at 14.43. July at 14 31. Oc
: tober at 13.7s and January at 13.88.
A better tone to weather reports te led
to encourage liquidation in new crop posi
tions. but offerings were scanty.
The trade was beginning to turn it^
attention to acreage estimates by private
agencies. So far they generally shower
an increase over last year ranging from Id
to 15 ner cent.

CHICAGO GRAIN
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. April 6.—Com prices
! suddenly collapsed 4 cents a bushel
■ late today and dragged wheat down
, sharply
Indications were that corn and
wheat had both been at least tempo
rarily overbought to an unusual ex
tent. Cash and elevator interests
took to the selling side of the corn
! market, and many stop-loss selling
I orders were automatically forced into
j execution before trade rules halted
the price tumbles at the limit of 4
I cents.
At the close corn was 3%a4 cents
under yesterday's finish, May 1.28V.,
July 1.20-hsa1 a: wheat, l'8al% off,
May 1.4178al.42, July 1.28 Via V4; oats,
