the bulge met continued selling, and
the market was unsettled during the
first hour. December sold of to "a. "a
with the general list showing net losses
Of about 80 to 81 points.
A private report issued after the
opening placed the condition at 69.6.
compared with 687 last month and
69.5 at this time last year.
The decline extended to 20.3i for
December during the morning. with
active months generally showing net

Money and Prices


NEW HAVEN, July 80 Especially -
The wholesale price index and the dol
lars buying power we're steady last
week. but the situation is significant
and sensitive. The price level has risen
steadily from the low point of year
ago until now it is the highest for
the current year.
Money and prices are opposite ends
of a see-saw-when prices rise the
purchasing power of the dollar declines
and since more funds are then neces-
sary TO do a given volume of business
the money demand increases. This nat
urally tends to raise interest rates, the
price of accommodation.
During the past month there has to
significant degree been strength
ening OF both money rates and the
commodity price level The movements
have been sufficiently sharp to indicate
that powerful economic factors are In
operation.
Fluctuations in the general whole
sale price level and in the purchasing
power of the dollar are given below for
various periods. The average for the
year 1926 Is the base used
