After nearly a month of sharply rising volume, activity leveled off and several leading industries lost ground. Other major indicators held their own instead of moving upward as is the seasonal tendency for this current week. Hence, the Composite Index registered a small loss of 0.3 of a point, falling back to 14.2% below normal. This figure, however, 1s above the level of a year ago.

The most important changes in "Big a drop in soft In the stock market, and the continued dullness in retail lines. Drought coal output, a sharp recession in electric power productions, the uncertainty news from the Southwest was also a disturbing factor. On the other hand, freight car loadings, lumber cut, and textile activity maintained recent gains or moved slightly higher. Steel operations at 71.2% of capacity hit another new six-year high. Automobile production crossed the 120,000 car figure which is the highest weekly output in seven years.

Building figures, by far the most important barometer to watch this year, have not been acting very favorably since the extremely severe weather set in during late January and so far this Spring they have made a mther disappointing showing. However, indications now point a turn in tide in May and the anticipated pick -up will offset, at least partially, the coming seasonal declines in steel activity and automobile production.
