AUBURNDALE, Mass, December :
tA)-The average level of all commodity
prices. after showing strength through
out November, has experienced a re-
lapse during the past week and broken
through the low point for the depression
that was established the last week of
October.
All Commodities. .
All commodities declined Ia points

Industrial Prices.
Although showing a fractional de-
cAne, industrial prices did not penetrate
the low pcint established in October
building materials and non-ferrols
chemicals and hides and leather re-
naming the same. Industrial condi-
tionS in this country are no worse and
from a strictly manufacturing stand
point, are gradually working into a
more favorable position. Production
schedules have generally been revised
In accordance with limited demand,
and inventories in most cases are being
reduced. Producing costs have been
subjected 70 drastic reductions, and an
Improvement now awaits a favorable
Curn IN consumption. Unsettled condi-
lions abroad are how the greatest OBJ
Stacle to business improvement. The
pound sterling during the past week
experienced a drastic decline. the
trouble in Manchuria has not been
Sett.ed and the situation In GERMANY
mas again become serious The next
session OF Congress looms up as particu-
iarly important in dealing with the
leading questions affecting business
conditions, banking. agriculture and
Iorelgn relations. Immediate action BY
that body in accordance with sound
economic principles would undoubtedly
be OF great aid to commodity prices.
Agricultural Prices.
Agricultural prices continued their
decline Of the previous week and have
nroken through the low point estab-
nshed in October 1t appears that the
sensational upturn during early Octo-
Der was caused mainly by manipulation
instead OF by fundamental factors.
Vegetable Oils.
After showing a sidewise trend for
flVe weeks, vegetable oils declined dras-
tically and have broken through the low

Wheat Exports Increase,

OTTAWA, Ontario, December 5 H9,
Increased export interest was cred
tied by the Dominion Bureau of stat

recovery in wheat prices In the past
few days. Its memorandum said the
situation is therefore on more hope
fnl foundation for continued price
rise than during the speculation which
accounted for more than half of the
previous upward furry

amounted TO l8.3S4, 800 bushels. This

FEATURED AT CIRCLE

universally known star. Ruth Chat
terton, in her most recent vehicle
for Paramount, titled Once

1t was revealed during the filming
of "Once a Lady" that the star,
Ruth Chatterton, had at one time
refused to enter into that medium
which has brought to her her great
est success. Long before Miss Chat
terton ever dreamed of following a
screen career, she turned down
fortune offered her TO appear in pic
lures during her spare time from
stage work. It was in the silent pic
ture days, when she was soaring to
heights as young Broadway stage
star. A film corporation, now out of
existence, drew up an unusual con-
tract under the terms of which Miss
Chatterton would have received
thousands of dollars a week for an
entire year. 1t was proposed to fol-
low the star and her plays on tour
and maintain picture schedules from
9 in the morning till 4 in the after
noon, with no work on matinee
days.
Miss Chatterton was then direct
ing her own stage vehicle and Henry
Miller, with whom she was asSo-
ciated, urged her to accept the I'M
precedented picture offer. The star
refused to sign the contract because
she was not to be permitted to pick
the story material. The star con-
tinued on the stage for several more
years before making her screen
debut.

in support of Miss Chatterton. Zoe
Atkins and Guthrie McClintic were

Lady" to the screen.
