COMMODITY PRICE
BOLSTER SOUGHT
Government Officials Feel
Not All Price Cuts Have
Been Passed to Consumer.
BY ]. C. ROYLE.

Considerable pressure is being brought
to bear on Government officials and
agencies for action to stimulate the rise
OF commodity prices. Other influences
equally strong are being exerted to have
Government officials keep hands of"
and allow the situation to adjust itself.
The drop in commodity prices is a
factor in the general business situation.
The lowering of commodity quotations,
distribution specialists declare, has
caused check to buying. Buyers take
the attitude that there is small need for
them to rush into the market, since
there is but a moderate demand from
ultimate consumers and they feel conf
dent Of being able to fill requirements
when and as they choose and on their
own terms.
Not Passed TO Consumers.
1t is the feeling of a good many Gov
eminent authorities that the drop in
wholesale prices of commodities and
raw materials has not been fully passed
On to consumers. When this takes place,
they assert, it will stimulate retail buy
ing, which in turn will increase the VOL
ume of retail and wholesale trade and
production and thus serve to advance
commodity prices.
Many producers do not want to wait
Tor that. They assert that some COM
modify prices now are below the cost
of production, and they want action
taken to bolster quotations to a point
where the producer will make a profit.
Others declare that any such stimula-
ton by Government sources can be but
temporary, and that when the artificial
support is withdrawn a renewed price
decline would follow. They also point
out that consumers will be careful to
see that their buying will not act to
raise prices against themselves, until the
demand from the ultimate consumers is
so insistent that the prices the retail
distributor pays is a matter Of reduced
importance.
None the less, demands for assistance
have been made by wheat growers, sill
yer producers, cotton planters and
dozen other lines Of production. The
Federal Farm Board has indicated it
will dash into the market for 1880 crop
wheat or cotton. So far the aid to sill
yer producers from governmental
sources has consisted of attempts to find
new uses for the metal and so stimulate
consumption. The Federal Reserve
Board has not sponsored the support OF
the commodity markets by Federal Re-
serve funds.
Wage Cuts Discussed.
There is some discussion of wage re-
auctions paralleling the advance in real
wages and in the buying power of the
dollar. but it is conceded by large en-
ployers that this is one of the last steps
likely to 10 taken. Skilled laborers are
averaging for the country as whole
around 81 cents an hour, with unskilled
men getting between so and 81 cents.
The general average is nearly 60. To
cut OF that buying power or lessen 1t,
labor leaders point out, would be to de-
feat the very aim that producers and
hirers of labor have In mind-namely,
to stimulate retail buying.

COTTON GOES HIGHER
Firm Liverpool Adivces and Dry
Weather Are Factors.

NEW YORK, July 10 (P).-Cotton
opened steady today at an advance Of 3
to points in response to firm Liverpool
cables and reports of continued high
temperatures and dry weather over the
greater part of the South.
There was some July liquidation,
probably incident to the circulation of
notices estimated at about $500, 900
bales including deliveries at Savannah,
which sent the price of from 1915 to
1906 during the early trading, but new
crop positions held fairly steady with
new october contracts selling up to
1285, or points net higher, while the
new December at 1903 showed net
advance of IL points.
Liverpool cables said there had been
local and continental buying in the
that market and reported better feel
ing in Manchester with more sales Of
cotton cloths to India and China.
