WHOLESALE PRICES
DROP DURING WEEK
More Than 0ne.Point Decline Re
corded in Index of Fertilizer
Association.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Wholesale commodity prices as meas
ured by the National Fertilizer Asso-
ciation. showed sharp drop during the
week ended October 8 when the incex
declined from $40 to 500. This was
the largest weekly decline for many
months in the index which represents
l9c6-l928 prices of ats individual items
es 100. The present level is still more
than one full point higher than the
record low of 596 reached on June
IL last.
Price changes during the week
caused eight of the IA main groups
comprising the index to decline. Foods,
fuel, grains, feeds and live stock. metals,
building materials and miscellaneous
commodities all dropped rather sharply.
Fats and oils, and textiles had moderate
declines.
Lower prices were noted during the
week for wheat, feed stuffs copper. tin,
zinc, silve-. brick, lumber. petroleum,
gas. lard, butter. cotton yarns rubber.
silk. flour. potatoes, sugar, pork and
apples. Higher prices were noted for
eggs, jute, sodium nitrate, hay. finished
steel and calfskins.
Commodity prices made noteworthy
gains during August and September.
The effect of this improvement is
shown in recent business indicators.
Cotton experts have been much heav-
ier than a year ago. During the lat
est reporting week carloadings reached
the highest weekly total for 1882. Elec-
tric power production advanced the
last half of September in contrast to
declines at this time last year and
two years ago. Steel mill operations
moved up slightly. For the first time
in many months. business failures were
less numerous than for the same pc
riod a year ago.

IN STEEL
OUTPUT CONTINUES
Production Throughout Country Is
Now Estimated at 10 Per Cent
of Capacity.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 12-Steel ingot
production for the country at large has
continued to work gradually higher, de-
spite the fact that the trend has turned
downward at this time of the year for
the past four years.
Iron Age, in its weekly survey today,
placed ingot output at 19 per cent OF
capacity, as against slightly above 18
per cent a week previously.
The survey follows, in part:
Steel business Is gaining slowly, but
confidence still exists that there will be
an extension Of the gradual improve
ment Of recent weeks, despite the de-
pressive influences of the presidential
election campaign and declines in Sc
curity prices.
"Ingot production for the entire coun-
try is estimated for this week at 10 per
cent of capacity. compared with the
calculation for September by the Amer
ican Iron & Steel Institute Of 1874 per
cent. Last months output Of raw steel
was the largest since May, and the rise
in the daily rate, which was PIG per
cent, as compared with August, was the
first since February.
THE gain of l5,495 tons in untitled
orders of the United States Steel Cor
poration for September. while smaller
than was expected in view Of large or
ders for forward delivery that were
placed on the corporations books last
month, nevertheless has some favorable
significance in that it is the second
small increase following 16 months OF
decline"

u. S. TREASURY NOTES
HAVE READY MARKET
Government Finds That Large
Supply of Capital Is Waiting
for New Issues.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 12.-While
public utility and industrial corpora
tions are finding it difficult to obtain
money through publicly selling bond
issues and the railroads are not even
making an effort. there is one creditor
which, it was clearly demonstrated
this week, stands in unusually high
favor.
This favored creditor is the United
States Treasury An offering of $780,
900, 900 of 4l2-year 3 per cent Treasury
notes this week was oversubscribed ID
times over. Applications for the notes
reached the huge total of $8,368, ,000,-
900.
While the investment market is still
cool to long term bond issues even for
Government account, the growing sur
plus of bank reserves has created TN
enormous investment appetite for
choice short-term and medium term
securities. A short-term security is one
which natures within year; a
medium-term security is one that comes
due in two to five years; and a long
term security is one that may run for
20, 80 or. in some unusual cases, 100
years before maturity date
The latest statement. dated October
5. of resources and liabilities of the IL
Federal Reserve Banks. showed that
they held s1851 100000 of Govern
ment securities, against s738.0O0,0OO
the year previous. a gain of S1,1l3.-
100000 in a year, or Isl per cent. How
ever, in the case of the reserve banks,
primary reason for this increase in
Government bond holdings has been
to relax credit

COAL FIRMS HOPE
|. TO WIN COURT TEST
Decision in Appalachian Case
Will Be Appealed in Near
Future.
By the Associated Press.

.
Despite an adverse opinion by
special three Judge court, the National
Coal Association believes there is
real fighting chance" for q favorable
decision by the Supreme Court on the
legality Of Appalachian Goals, Inc
This view is advanced not only by
counsel for the sales agency, but also
of a number Of eminent attorneys, in
cluding Judge James A. Emery, counsel
for the National Association of Manu-
facturers. who, in discussing the ad-
verse opinion, declared his belief the
highest court would rule the agency
within the law.
Counsel for Appalachian Goals, Inc,
now are engaged in preparing the record
for the appeal to the highest court. 1t
case will be expedited and that a
January.
The special ree-judge court took
the viewpoint that although the agency
does not have monopolistic control, it
is violative of the Sherman act on the
ground that it restrains trade. holding
that 1t was price-flXing organization.
The defendants held that the agency
was price asking organization and
that the evidence introduced in the two
week trial at Asheville established the
fact that no agency so constituted could
fix prices in the coal market.
The opinion already handed down
contained a discussion of the facts
which the court found to be established
by the evidence, as we'll as of the law
which it held to be controlling. The
court referred to the importance of the
case, not only to the coal, but to other
industries, and indicated that If the
law laid down by the Supreme Court
in other cases is to be changed, it
should be done by the higher court and
not by the lower court which is bound
by its construction of the decision Of the
Supreme Court.
The situation is of importance. not
only to coal, but to other natural
resource industries. The vital issue is
whether or not those engaged in basic
industry may do anything through sup
posedly helpful contracts to bring about
needed reforms The decision OF the
Supreme Court therefore. is Awaited by
industry with considerable concern.

TYPHOID fever DROPS
IN PRINCE GEORGES AREA
Only ID Cases Reported This Year
as Compared With AZ Dur
ing 1881.
| STAFF CORRESPONDENT of The Star.

BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, October
IA marked drop in the number OF
typhoid cases IN Prince Georges County
occurred this year during the months
when the disease usually reaches its
peak, Dr. A. B. Hooton, county health
officer declared today.
Only IA cases were reported this year,
as compared with Al during 1881, he
states. This was largely due to the
fact that the patients secured the serv-
ice Of physicians early in the disease
and enabled preventive measures to be
instituted before the disease spread to
others, the health officer believes.
Innoculations and improved sanitary
conditions in communities that had the
infection last year have also contributed
to the suppression of the disease, he
said.
DR. Hooton's report for the month of
September shows 73 births and Sc
deaths for the 30-day period
