March .31.— (m — Trading in shares in the New York Stock Exchange in March was the largest for any month since May, 1940. and was almost four times the turnover in that month of last year. Trading in bonds in the exchange was tiie largest for any month since December, 1920. and appear ed to nave been the biggest in the history of the icxchange for do mestic corporate issues. The turnover in shares was 36, 997.243, compared with 24.434,084, in February, and only 8,587,828 in March of 1942. This March's turn over v. as almost a quarter of the entire volume for the year 1942. when dealings slumped to the low est for any year since 1914. The volume in bonds was $497. 866.650 face value, reflecting chief ly the record dealings in issues of railroads in reorganization.

It was the biggest month since December, 1920, whe a huge volume of dealings in lib erty bonds pushed the total to $536. 315.000. The U. S. government bond mar ket has since gone almost entirely to over-the-counter dealings, and with foreign volume relatively light, the total of domestic cor porate turnover was $481,522,300. While detailed breakdowns on the trading back in 1920 was unavail able. statistical sources said this month was obviously a record in domest'C corporates. -V WHEAT MART HAS FIRM UNDERTONE Resumption Of Govern ment Flour Inquiry Tends To Stabilize Trade CHICAGO.

H. Keith, oil truck driver, was given a continuance until' Thursday morning by Dep uty Recorder S. E, Loftin Wednes day. Keith was arrested by city po lice early Wednesday morning and charged with parking an oil trans por overnight in the 300 block of North Second street. The new ordinance, adopted by the council last week as a fire prevention measure, bans the parking of the gasoline trucks anywhere in the city limits save a garages to be repaired or stored and while loading or unloading. A fine of $10 is provided for the first violation. Charged with possession of 80 quarts of tax-paid whiskey, Hat tie Johnson, Negress, was fined $25 and costs and the whiskey ordered confiscated. ABC Officer B. W. White took the stand to testify how he and other officers raided the Negress’ home last week . and found the whiskey concealed in a cedar chest. “Another state’s tax tags had been scratched off,” he said, “and there was no North Carolina tags on the bottles.” The exhibit, which was hauled to the witness stand by officers of the ABC enforcement squad, consisted of three full cases of whiskey. In the same session, Leroy Scott, Negro, charged with rob bing another Negro, Lensy Rea son, after Reason had failed to fall for a flim-flam confidence game, was bound over to superior court under $500 bond. Reason told how, after coming out of a bank on Front street last Thursday, he was accosted by Scott and another unidentified Ne gro who attempted “to take him in,” and failing that, trailed him down a side-street where one twisted his arm while the other snatched his money. Scott attempted to prove he was in a North Fourth street cafe at the time of the robbery, but was refuted by a state’s witness who testified he saw him on Front street near the bank shortly be I fore the alleged theft. Scott ad mitted not having worked since ! February, making his living “by gambling,"’ he said. Solicitor J. A. Norton told the court Scott was one of the “slick est"’ Negroes in Wilmington, and we haven’t been able to catch him until now.” Sam Patrick. Negro, was found not guilty of assaulting his wife with a butcher knife when he told the court another man was try ing to cut him and she ‘‘got in the way.” -_ Interpreting The War (Continued from Page Four) ranean blow will come from the Tunisian springboard.

There is still a British army in North east Africa under General Sir Henry Maitland Wilson and an American a^my in the northwest under Lieut. Gen. Mark Clark Tat tle is known of their present strength and dispositions, but the Axis commands cannot leave them out of their calculations. Italy undoubtedly is receiving first attention,. the Italian main land and the islands which may become stepping stones for inva sion. In Sicily, just 90 miles from the north Tunisian coast, every town is described as a fortress. There is every indication that the Italians are bracing themselves for the terrible experience of in vasion, realizing that the fall of Tunisia will bare their own shores to attack. German interest in Italian mo rale, which has been manifest in the activities of the Gestapo for the last tjvo years, grows more acute. The Berlin radio has seen fit to deny reports that the Ger man navy is taking over the Ital ian fleet, branding these as de signed to sow discord among the Axis allies, as possibly they were.

For Adolf Hitler it is not just a question of a night's sleep. For him there is no more rest or security, at any time or any place. All the weeks from now on are filled with the menace of the blow that must fall sooner or later somewhere on the coast of the continent he has made his unwilling domain. __v_ CHICAGO BUTTER-EGGS CHICAGO, March 31.—MV-But ter, receipts 561,576: firm; prices as quoted by the Chicago price current are unchanged.

Their names mean something because their bands have something extra to offer. Coca-Cola got where it is by offering some thing that more than quenches thirst. It brings a delightful after-sense of refresh ment, too. In ice-cold Coca-Cola you find quality you count on. You find delicious taste that sets it apart. You'find refreshment that goes into energy. Anybody can make a soft drink, but only The Coca-Cola Company makes Coca-Cola. The only thing like Coca-Cola is Coca-Cola, itself. * * * It’* natural for popular names to acquire friendly abbreviations. That’s why you hear Coca-Cola called Coke. Both mean the same thing... "coming from a single source, and well known to the community”. Lines are put in, stages fixed, loudspeakers hooked up, and rehearsal begins. Soon, the boys in uniform will hear their favorite band in person just as their families will on their home radios.
