Talks Under Way On Energy Accord
Treasury Secretary William E. Simon noted patches of blue in a gray sky amid a split view of the economy as White House talks progressed on a compromise energy plan. The Federal Energy Administration said oil firms stockpiled after the Arab embargo, keeping gasoline inventories about 10 percent above last year. The Dow rose as banks cut prime rates to 8 percent, and retail sales in February showed little change from January while prices rose 1.7 percent year over year. Simon warned of a developing recession but saw early signs of improvement in inflation and car inventories.
