The seizure of Albania has destroyed whatever slender hopes that may have been entertained for an Improvement in the markets after Easter, but there Is no reason to anticipate a spectacular break. City business interests during the week showed themselves far calmer than certain quarters in Whitehall, and there has been no pressure to sell.
Unemployment returns show that rearmament Is rapidly solving the problem of the Jobless. The "Investors' Chronicle" considers that within six months there will be tremendous demnnd for labor and mate. rials, and that there will be a military boom In which Britain will spend sun- stantially In pi liner up arms instead of increasing standards of living. Government control of business, the Journal states, will simultaneously Increase with rationing of raw materials and curtailment of luxury consumption. Some form of Inflation, It Is stated, also appears to be inevitable.
Indeed, the merchant bankers, Messrs. Robert Benson and Co. warn the Chancellor of the Ex chequer against the denser of "inflation orgy." The company points out that flnancoi must remain subservient to general! policy, but bad finance will enormously Increase the troubles ahead by creating discontent through rising prices. Benson and Co. maintains that the case lor bor rowing grows progressively weaker unemployment declines and as the amount borrowed approaches the aggre gate of national savings, which are generally estimated at 400.000,000 a year, and urge the Chancellor to increase taxation without fear or favor.
City interests believe that a prolonged period of political calm will serve Britain rather than Germany, whose economic strength, compared with that of the Democracies, is greater to-day than it is likely to be at any time in the future. Germany at present has ample reserves of raw materials, gold and foreign exchange, the latter having been increased by at least 175,000,000 by the seizure of the central banks of Austria and Czechoslovak! and by the sale of foreign securities. However, there are now signs that thc; large-scale- re-equipment of German industry, which has been postponed for two years, can no longer oe cieiayea which will necessitate either higher Im ports or drawing on domestic reserves of raw materials The Nazis therefore have no interest in breaking out on further foreign adventures.

Development for future re. qulrements Is being undertaken in me thodlcal fashion to tap the ore body in its northern extent as it pitches below the 1020 feet north level.

The reef in the southern miarter at 1020 feet Is high grade, and the stopes on the turnover and on the western side are maintaining vlelds at a rood level.

The commodity markets show no signs of cracking, but political uncertainties are reflected in a slight downward movement in quotations, both sellers and buyers being reluctant to enter Into for ward commitments. Those who believe that prices will not decline seriously arc able to support their view with fairly impressive statistical evidence. The Argentine wheat surplus is moving freely, assisted by good Asiatic de mand for Australian, which has resulted in better prices for Common wealth forward shipments. Last week's Argentine shipments of 589,000 quarters were the largest for the season. The weather in the United States continues favorable, and estimates ot the winter crop have been revised to nearly 540,000,000 bushels.
Sugar remains steady with satisfactory Continental demand owing to lack of; knowledge of German's intentions inj respect of the unused Czech oslovakian export quota. It is believed that Ger many will not export this sugar, thus strengthening the already sound statisti cal position. Dow Jones Index NEW YORK, April 8.
