AUBURNDALE, Mass June 90 LP.-
Another week of rapidly lowering price
levels for basic commodities has taken
place. Specific groups have been hardS
hit, particularly live stock. non-ferrous
metals, iron and steel and textiles.
Reviewing the number Of changes in
Is individual groups, 9 declined during
the past week, remain unchanged
and 2 advanced moderately.
The principal price advance was
noted in the hide and leather group,
largely attributable to the psyche
logical influence of the higher tariff,
The new tariff rates are not extensive
enough to have any material weight
in readjusting the general commodity
price level upward. There Is still evil
dence of excessive supplies of raw ma
terials and finished goods. The spread
between commodity prices and wage
rates has increased sharply in the past
six months Already wage reductions.

during the Summer period. Earnings
statements for April and May show a
continuation of the downward trend 50 \
outstanding in the first quarter. Inter-
national trade shows a drop in exports
for the first five months, compared with
year ago. of 20 per cent, and de-
cline in imports of % per cent. Pur-
chasing power has been sharply re-
duced in all quarters of the world.
All Commodity Prices.
A new low was reached last week in
all commodity prices, representing
decline of Is per cent since the high
of 1929. During the same period prices
in England have dropped IL per cent,
France, Is per cent; Italy, IA pei
cent; India, IA per cent; Japan,
l per cent. Industrial prices again
reached a new low, largely due
to the further slump in non-ferrous
metals and iron and steel Keen COM
petition is still encouraging the policy \
OF price concessions.
These have held steady following the
recent radical decline. The Federal
Farm Board promises not TO liuuidate
wheat during the early stages of the
new crop season. Agricultural produc-
ton Is expanding rapidly in foreign
countries.
NOn-Ferrous Metals.
Non-ferrous metals declined sharply,
renecting new low points in silver, tin,
lead and zinc. Tin producers are con-
templating rigid shutdown in new
production, beginning july /.
Hides and Leather,
Prices of hides and leather represent
the only group which registered any
upturn OF importance. This is largely
due to the 10 per cent increase in tl1a4
duty on hides. compared with the free
list of the tariff rate of 1922, Leather
averages Is cents higher on the duty
compared with the free list previously.

In the Stock Market
tBv Thomson & McKinnon

NEW YORK, May 23.-Perhaps
from the action of the stock market
a decrease in the federal reserve
borrowings may have been expected.
The increase is trifling and unim-
portant. The constant hamnering
of stocks by professionals does not
apparently discourage holders. and
so ar has drawn out little liquioa-
zion. This lack of public selling
seems to he reflected in the brokers
lozn accounts. The beariSh news
may be about exhausted. At any
rate bearlsh operations are not
making the headway expected by
those so inclined. In matter of
short tirle reparation financing
should be out of the way and tariff
hill disposed Of No question con-
siderable business uncertainty is
due to the long drawn out bicker-
ings, particularly over the tariff.
Believing the underlying conditions
of The market to be sound, it would
not be surprising, following the set
tlNnent of these factors, to see the
stock market begin to discount i'm
proving conditions.
