COMMODITY PRICES
REBUFF BEAR MOVE
Sterilization of Quotations
on Staples Necessary to
General Settling.
BY JOHN L. COOLEY.

$ASoOSAoNN4
NEW YORK, July 15.-The stock
market is trying q few fancy steps to
the tune of bull fiddle, but those
humber servants of finance, the COM
modities, refuse to join the festivities,
There isn't much romance in quota
tons on tin, lead, hides, raw silk, rub
Der, leather and scrap steel, but just at
present most conservative business men
and bankers probably would rather see
definite sterilization of these basic raw
materials than a 10-point rally on the
stock exchange.
For more than a year commodity
prices have been going down. They be-
gan their decline some time before
stocks reached the top and they have
continued to ease during the snare
markets gyrations since that time.
Many elaborate reasons for their per-
Torrance have been advanced, but the
situation boilS down to matter OF the
disparity between supply and demand,
the law that in the last analysis, gov
erns all price movements.
In the prosperity period Of q
year ago, production in virtually all
lines was stepped up to meet what was
believed to be an Unsuitable consump-
ton. Stocks of manufactured goods
increased in proportion TO eApdnoeu
manufacturing facilities and supplies
of raw materials piled up to meet the
demand. The excess of output over
absorption was clouded by the rosy hues
of the bull market, but the hurricane
that broke last october left a different
economic landscape.
For several months the security mar
kets failed to pay much attention to
the lower drift of commodity prices. 1t
was argued that the buying power OF
the country had been little impaired
and that the business recession could
be hardly more than ripple. However,
when trade served unmistakable notice
of an era of deflation, Wall street be-
gan to concern tself with quotations
on staples as well as shares, and came
to realize that q situation which was
witnessing an almost daily drop In raw
materials could hardly be called stable.

q NEW YORK, July Is (CP.A3.-
Prices eased somewhat near the close

most Of the time was active and higher.
Before the fractional recession at the

softened a BIT. Transamerica, Marine
Midland and Goldman Sachs were fairly

The lower trend in the last quarter
OF an hour was also reflected in the
mine group and in industrials and nat
ural gas shares. Untitled orders and
June sales lifted Detroit Aircraft. West
ern Air Express rose more than point.
American Cyanainid B, for months
the leader of industrial shares, dis
played some of its former activity today,

and an improvement in earnings. Great
