NEW YORK, March 14.—Profit
selling dropped quotations on Scan
dinavian governments’ dollar loans
today, following the initial upswing
caused by the Russo-Finnish truce.

to as much as two points toward the

stantial rises.

loans was narrow with a preponder
ance of small gains. United States
Governments in most cases had not
been traded in the forenoon but the
2^s of ’48 added more than a point,
an unusually wide move for the
Federal group, on a single trans
action.
Losers in the foreign sector in
cluded Copenhagen 5s, Denmark 6s,
5Hs and 4Hs, Norway 4s and 4!?s,
German 5Hs and Uruguary adjust
ments.
Ahead were such corporates as Al
leghany 5s, Anaconda 4V£s, Com
monwealth Edison convertibles,
Goodrich 4 Vis, Montana Power 33is
and Manhattan Railway 4s. Down
a bit were Southern Railway 4s,
Rock Island general 4s of ’88 and
•Great Northern 4s of ’46.

change Commission showing stock
exchange firms in the fiscal year

Chemical Consumption
Continues at High Rate
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. March 14.—While
some of the large consuming in
dustries, including steel, glass, and
textiles, reduced operating rates in
February, many branches of chem
ical manufacture continued at ca
pacity levels, with shipments from
plants running on a par with pro
duction, according to the monthly
malysis published by Chemical and
Metallurgical Engineering. Rayon
parn output was on a steady basis,
with only moderate increases in
stocks. In the petroleum industry,
runs to stills were relatively high,
with seasonal gains reported in
outputs of paints, varnishes and
lacquers.
Preliminary figures for February,
with no adjustments for seasonal
influences or for number of work
ing days, place Chemical and Metal
lurgical Engineering's index for con
sumption of chemicals at 133 as
against 109.82 for February last
year. Preliminary figures for Jan
uary were found to be low in almost
every instance and the revised
index for that month moved up to
144.15, which compares with 114.97
for January, 1937.
As measured by these ’ indexes,
consumption of chemicals for the
first two months of this year has
run about 23 per cent above that
for the like period of 1939 and as
exports in January were valued at
$16,792,512 and $8,984,046 ir. 1940
and 1939, respectively, it is probable
that production of chemicals this
year has gained to a higher degree
than that reported for consumption,
even though a part of current ex
ports carry higher unit values.
