We favour Douglas Aircraft and Glen Martin shares. The week's electricity output was 13 per cent. over the corresponding period of 1938.
The chemical industry expects lower profits for the second- quarter, The Southern Pacifle Railroad Company during The American. February suffered a loss of $2,000,000. Tobacco Company's first-quarter sales were substantially above those of last year. The first-quarter increase in telephones by the American Telephone Company is the second highest in eight years. The statistical position of the oil industry has improved. The first cut in gasolene Inventory in four months has been recorded and there has been a slight curtailment in the output of crude oil. Dow Jones estimates the first-quarter pront of Du Pont de Nemours at $1.47 per share; Unlon Carbide $0.60 and Monsanto Chemical $1.00.
