FRANCIS I. du PONT & COMPANY REPORT BY CABLE; - STOCKS: The rumours of a rapprochement between Poland and Germany helped the market to look bigher to-day, but the volume was disappointing..
We favour Douglas Alteraft and Glen Martin shares The week's electricity output was 12 per cent. over the corresponding period of 1038.
The chemical industry expects lower profits for the second- quarter. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company during February suffered a loss of $2,000,000. The American Tobacco Company's first-quarter sales were substantially above those of last year. The Brat-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 curtallment in. the output of crude oil. Dow Jones estimates the first-quarter profit of Du Pont do Nemours at $1.47 per share; Union Carbide $0.50 and Monsanto Chemical $1.00.
