During March, the voters of 48 communities in 20 States and Alaska athorized a total of $11,404,230 of new bond flotations, as compared with $9,261,000 in March. 1941. Authorizations in February of this year amounted to only $1,452,650, | adcording to the Daily Bond Buyer. Last month's total was the largest j March total since 1938. The largest flotation approved was $3,000,000 by the voters of Nor folk. Va. During March projects involving $2,166,500 were turned down by the voters of 13 communities in 11 j States, as compared with $6,298,000 in March, 1941. Realty Bonds l'p Slightly. The average price of 200 real es tate bonds showed an increase of 0.<! per cent in March, several Wash ington issues being included In the litt. iThis advance brings the improve- I ment In the first three months of j 1942 to 3 per cent, according to the ! Amott-Baker Real Estate Bond Price Average. The average price per $1,000 bond was $311 on March 31, compared to $302 on December 31 and $281 on December 31, 1940. These prices have shown a consistent upward trend, since the middle of 1940, almost two years ago, with a break shown only in the month of De cember. Defense Loans on Increase. Washington banks are making more and more defense loans as time moves on. according to Wilmer J. j Waller, vice president and cashier of the Hamilton National Bank, who is I the American Bankers’ Association representative in charge of these loans In this territory. The so-called small business men and small manufacturers are being extended this type of credit which was very difficult to obtain when the first loans for defense were made. Many applicants having excellent financial reputations were unable to meet all the banking requirements at that time. Since then the defense loan rules have been eased up somewhat and the assignment of Government con tracts assures the lenders of loan payments. Most of the loans by Washington banks are granted in connection with Army supplies, bankers say. Financial District Comment.

Stock Market Rises Fractions to More Than a Point Steels Assume Lead; Few Blue Chips Gain More Than $2 Bv VICTOR EUBANK, Assoented Preu Plnineltl Writer. NEW YORK. April 6 —Aided by the law of averages and a marked tapering of selling, the stock mar ket today extended its Easter week rise by fractions to a point or more for most leaders. The advance attained no great momentum at any time because the bidding was marked by the familiar restraints. There were signs, how ever, that market followers in slightly greater number were willing to chance commitments on the theory prices were due for a turn after several months of almost steady decline. Steels supplied the necessary lead ership after some wavering in early proceedings. A few of the blue chips and specialties carried gains of 2 or more points to the close. Transactions were approximately 350,000 shares. A little optimism was noted in speculative circles, based on the market's calm acceptance Saturday or the war profits limitation pro posals in Congress and today's dis j closure that Donald M. Nelson had told a Senate committee he be j lieved the "majority"’ of industry would be willing, to work for the Oovernment for nothing in this war period provided there was no capital impairment. Stocks participating in the re covery included United States Steel, Bethlehem. Youngstown Sheet, Sears Roebuck. United States Rub ber, Goodrich. General Motors, Chrysler. American Telephone. Du Pont.

Coca-Cola pushed up about 6 points and P*psi-Cola edged up a point or so The moves were at tributed to reports that sugar sup plies might be augmented by in creased use of grain in place of sugar for manufacture of indus trial alcohol. Bond Prices Uneven. Pail* and utilities drew Interest and were up fractions to around a point on the bond market while in dustrials were slightly depressed near the final hour. United States Governments im proved moderately as investors were called upon to absorb the Treasury’s $1,500,000,000 in .5 per cent certifi cates to mature November 1. An nouncement of the offering was made last night in Washington. Late in the afternoon a canvass of the larger banks and bond houses disclosed the Treasury offering was attracting wide attention, especially among the large number of me dium-sized corporations throughout the country. Chicago Grain | By the Associated Press, CHICAGO. April 6.—After tum bling almost 2 cents early in the session to the lowest prices quoted 1 here since last December, wheat futures rallied today and recovered the loss. Renewed selling, similar to that which has lowered wheat about 8 I cents the past three weeks, was attributed largely to the favorable new-crop situation, which promised a larger 1942 harvest to complicate the already crowded domestic grain storage situation. The recovery was ! stimulated by short covering, pros ! poets of reduced redemption of 1941 wheat now under loan and some buying attributed to mills, although this support was limited. Strength of feeding grains also was a factor. Wheat closed unchanged to 4g higher compared with Saturday's flnnsh. May 1237*-1.23\. July 1 2578-l,2574; corn, H-tn higher.
