Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO. July 11-Notwithstand-
ing President Hoover's denunciation of

statements from Federal Farm Board
sources, wheat fell to new low-price

about the days bottom quotations, with
all deliveries in Chicago dropping be-
low any level heretofore since 1894 and
Liverpool down to new low level.
Mainly wheat selling in Chicago con-

counterbalanced the limited buying

Wheat closed unsteady, asas. lower;
corn, Ma1A down; oats, a4alA off,

Fresh receipts of wheat at Kansas
City totaled 1.487 cars, compared with

wheat from Illinois points resulted in

WHOLE BOOK GIVEN
TO SERVICE CHARGE
American Bankers Association
Aims to Justify Levy to Meet
Growing Costs.

Service charges by banks, measured
in equitable keeping with the individ-
ual activity of a customers account,
Is the subject of book on CONNER
cial bank management issued by the
Bank Management Commission OF the
American Bankers Association. In
foreword, Frank w. Simmonds, deputy
manager of the association, brings out
the urgent necessity for banks to give
greater attention to operating details
in view of dwindling margins of profit
caused by increased expenses OF doing
business while income has remained
stationary. j..
"The steadily dwindling margin OF
profit in banking has brought urgent
need for greater efficiency" he says.
'While expenses have increased, large
" a result Of concessions to customers
under the stimulation Of competition,
income from loanable funds has re-
NAMED stationary. Future gains IN
bank income must be derived from
heretofore little tapped sources, while
established revenues are conserved by
the elimination of waste and loss. The
reception afforded by the public to
the increasing use Of the service charge
on checking accounts clearly indicates
the willingness OF bank customers 10
meet reasonable demands, and their
confidence In institutions that seek
a sound basis for operations.
Essential but improbable services
rendered by American banks levy an
annual cost of approximately $780,
100000 against bank earnings"

CURB SHARES EASE
ON LIGHT TRADING.
Utilities and SpeciaIties Prove
Weak Spots-0iIs Fairly

BY JOHN L. COOLEY,

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE curb
market slipped quietly downward in
the week end session today. Utilities
ard specialties were heavy, but offer
ings in most instances wee limited
and the turnover fer the two hours
was small.
Electric Bond & Share was in fair
supply, breaking to around 20 for a
net loss of more than a point. Ameri-
can & Foreign Power warrants, Bra
lillian Traction and American Gas &
Electric we're down as much. Associ-
ated Gas "a" also sagged, but re-
covered its moderate decline.
Selling of Deere. apparently in SYM
pathy with the low price of wheat,
carried the stock off a couple Of points.
United Verde was another soft spot
while Aluminium of America and Great
Atlantic & Pacific yielded about 5
points each. Many of the lower
priced industrials and specialties did
not trade.
OILS were fairly steady although
Vacuum turned soft, losing liz. Local
Gil circles are hoping that the pro-
ducers' request fer shutdown in the
Oklahcma City fed and the forth
coming special session of the Texas
legislature will have important results.

NEW YORK, July 11-Cotton under

October contracts sold on to e.39. or

and were finally quoted at e45. The
general market closed steady at net &C.
clines Of to II points
The opening was steady, 2 to points
lower. in response to the easier show
ing of Liverpool and the favorable
weather news. Offerings were not
to cause slight rallies during the early
trading. The demand was limited to
some trade buying and covering, how
ever. The market eased again during
the middle of the morning on con-
tinuation of selling movement, which
sent prices off to COS for July and 962
for December. or IA to Is points net
lower. This dip attracted some COW
ering, and closing prices showed rallies
Of to points from the lowest.
The market was comparatively quiet,
and the trading was considered largely
local. with prices moving on compare
lively small orders either way. Some
regarded smaller volume of business
as indicating that scattering accounts
had been pretty we'll evened up and
that traders were now awaiting further
developments either in the German
financing or for a better line on the
probable showing of the end-July crop
reports.
Favorable ideas as to the latter have
been encouraged by the beneficial rains
OF the past week, but there is naturally
some doubt as to whether these rains
have afforded more than temporary re-
lief, and weather conditions between
now and the end of the month will
have an important effect on final senti-
ment as to the showing of the Govern
ment report on August

NEW YORK, July 11-Although a

advance was reported In scrap during
the week and the price undertone was
generally steady. While some improve
ment in demand for pig iron has occur
red sectionally, buying elsewhere is dull,
with prices unchanged.
Copper buying was at a minimum
until the close of the week. when large
producers reduced list prices u of

Valley. Metal had been previously
available at that level through custc m
smelters. and the premium producers
had asked for export copper restricted

Commodity Price
Trends of Week

EDITOR McGlll COMMODITY Service.
AUBURNDALE, Mass. July II Up.
Commodity prices declined last week
in spite of the final acceptance by
the nations involved of the moratorium
Of tntergovernmental war debts and
reparations. Out Of II groups, eight
declined. three remained the same,
and only three we're higher. 1t has
come to be realized that the benefit
Of the moratorium at this time Is
chiefly in changing sentiment. Flnda-
mentally conditions remain exactly the
same, and any improvement depends
on an increase in the rate Of bust
ness activity and consuming demand
Gradually, however, tangible results
will be noted from Che moratorium.
Credit will be available in sufficient
quantities to those countries In need
to instill activity into industry and
commerce. Banking conditions in
Germany and other countries will also
be improved and the way will be paved
for the better distribution Of gold
among the various countries.
An Commodities.
Noting specific changes in the in
dividual groups, the average for all
q
equal to the average before the Hoover
proposal was announced. The decline
was due to lower quotations in agri-
culture. live stock, industrial, building
materials, fuels, non-ferous metals,
textiles.
Industrial Prices.
Only a fractional decline was shown
by industrial prices. due chiefly to re-
cessions in commodities IN the non
ferrous metals and textile groups,
which advanced so sharply In re-
cent rally.
Agriculture and Live Stock.
Among those which showed the
heaviest declines were agriculture and
live stock; cattle, hogs, sheep and lambs
were all lower. Wheat reacted to a
point that has not been touched for
many years.
Fuels.
Fuels again touched a new low due
to declines in petroleum, kerosene and
bituminous coal. Petroleum Is being
sod at IL cents a barrel In the East
Texas section due to the failure Of
proration in that district. A SEN
sational advance was registered by
hides and leather.
Vegetable Oils.
Vegetable oils also increased sub
stanially over the previous week, with
linseed. cottonseed, coconut, corn and
palm oils all advancing
