MEN'S CLOTHES SALES ROGKET

Show 91 Per Cent Gain; Apparel and Durable Goods Also Jump.

Times Special WASHINGTON, April 21.—Men’'s clothing stores in Indiana reported an increase in sales of 91 per cent am

for March of this year, compared im to March of 1941, the Bureau of the A

Census reveals. The compilation reports without adjustment for price fluctuations, but the 91 per cent gain 2 was more than double that shown in February. The spectacular gain was apparently a result of a race| with wartime clothing restrictions,’ as well as a reflection of more employment and higher wages.

GRAIN TRADERS STILL FEARFUL

Prices Rise Slightly on Commission Brokers’

Support.

CHICAGO, April 21 (U. P)— Support by commission house brok-| ers, who felt that the market was

entitled to a technical rally after yesterday's new seasonal

the board of trade today. Volume was light, with a scarcity of offerings. Many traders still were apprehensive over the possibility of an anti-inflation program

+ | Which might restrict prices on basic

commodities. Trade circles heard reports that a

5ilist of fixed prices was being pre-

pared for 30,000 articles. This was reflected even more in drop of 50 cents a bale in New York cotton

here. At 'the end of the first hour, corn was up !s& to 4 cent a bushel, wheat up : to 3% cent, oats up x to 4, {jee up 3 to 5: and soybeans up ls.
