Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY III. n. McGILL

OF the McGill Commodity Service, Inc.
AUBURNDAI4E, Mass, April 30 (P)
Commodity prices continue to fall
Lack Of business improvement, uneasi-
ness over matters before Congress. in
cluding the tax and economy programs,
bonus measure, etc, prevented any
strengthening in prices during the past
week
All commodities registered a new low
point and the number of groups show
ing an upturn remained small Al
though the groups remaining stable
increased somewhat, yet the groups
which declined showed quite severe re-
actions. During the past month, out OF
222 commodities, only IA showed an
upturn, 81 were lower and Isl remain
ed the same.
Industrial Prices.
Industrial prices continued to sag,
conforming with the continued low
status of business activity. Although
there has been a belated upturn in
automobile production, which has aided
steel output, yet this advance has not
been of broad proportions, OF late car
loadings have shown some disposition
TO increase, and will be watched closely
in the coming weeks TO determine
whether or not this is an indication of
basic improvement in distribution.
Although the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn continues to expand huge amounts
in open market purchases, yet no per-
ceptible increase in loans and invest
mentS of member banks has occurred.
Until credit expansion is an actuality
there is no prospect of a major upturn
III commodity prices. Some interest
has been evinced in the Goldsborough
bill which has been introduced in Con-
gress, the purpose OF which Is to raise
and maintain commodity price Levels
at the average existing between 1921
and 1929, inclusive. This would be ac-
comphshed by the open market opera
tions OF the Federal Reserve System
and by adjustment Of the redisceunt
rates OF the Federal Reserve banks.
In spite of the many failures to
stabilize individual commodity prices,
the latest Of which is silk, this new bill
would attempt to stabilize all commod-,
lty prices. Several officials, including
the governor of the Federal Reserve
Board and the governor of the New
York Federal Reserve bank, have ap-
peared in opposition to the bill. The
easy money policy which Is now in ef-
feet is an effort TO raise the commodity
price levels, but there are too many
factors outside the control of the sys-
TEN to say definitely that it will be a
success.

NEW YORK. April 3O,-New York
retains its position as the worlds
principal banker, although London has
made tremendous strides in the last
several months, Such is the opinion
Of leading international bankers in
Wall Street.
While there is little rivalry between
the two capitals for this distinction
which likewise calls for a correspond
ingly great degree of responsibility
the recent flow Of international capital
toward London has brought the ques-
ton to the forefront.
For more than a century, London
has held undisputed claim to world
banking leadership. With changed
conditions growing out of the war, New
York rapidly moved to the front New
York's position was still further
strengthened when England was forced
off the geld standard, but Britain's
later recovery has greatly changed the
picture
Contrary to widespread opinion, fig
ures prepared by the Department of
Commerce show that the United States
played an important role in interna-
tional finance before the World War.

PLANS TO AID COAL
INDUSTRY ADVANCED
National Association Presents Rec.
concentrations to Senate Sub
committee on Mines.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
-Four recommendations TO meet the
unsatisfactory situation in coal have
been presented to the Senate Subcom-
mittee on Mines and Mining by the
Government Relations Committee of
the Nat onal Coal Association.
Charles O'Neill of New York City.
chairman of the committee, said forma-
ton OF central sales agencies was one
step that was necessary while the
physical consolidation of properties was
also urged upon the committee. Passage
Of a tariff that would prevent the con-
tinued displacement Of coal and Of
American labor by the importation OF
foreign oil was, likewise urged as was
a reduction in freight rates.
II was the sense Of this Coal Com
mittee that the underlying cause of the
existing unsatisfactory condition in the
coal industry was the high delivered
cost of coal, Notwithstanding the low
mine price. This high delivered cost
Of coal resulted, it was said, in the sub
stitution of oil, gas and water power for
millions of tons of coal, as well as in
heavy capital expenditures in order to
effect combustion economies.
In opposing the pending coal bill
which would put the industry under a
Federal commission, Mr. ONeill said
Governmental regulation is under a
severe test in the matter of railroads
today II regulation cannot re-
store prosperity to the rail transporta-
ton companies with all of the expert
ence that the carriers and commission
have had during the last As years. l
cannot conceive of newly formed and
inexperienced commission doing any
thing in this direction with a private
industry embracing thousands OF sep
arate units working under much great
er variable conditions than the rail-
roads

Hopeful Signs.
CNew York World Telegram.

(NeW 1OrK WOrl0-Ielegram.
 Imitation of one kind or another is the remedy for depression offered by many different groups. Probably every few are opposed to mild imitation or what is coming to be called 'reflation." Such opposition as exists is directed, rather at those forms of extreme imitation which are most difficult to control-if indeed any imitation be absolutely controlled
 But the country whole doubtless will well the degree of imitation aimed at by the Federal Reserve Board in it's policy of credit expansion By the larger purchase of Government securities the Federal Reserve is liberating bank credit. A similar policy was successful in 1921 1924 and 1927 Forces set in motion by the Austrian and German financial crises enumerated a similar attempt by the Federal Reserve last summer
 Now the times favorable, if the rise in the bond market last week is any criterion. The experts agreed that the Federal Reserve credit policy is chiefly responsible for this lift in the bond market first in Government and then in industrial bonds
 There are other hopeful developments, including:
 Prospects of a balanced Federal budget through fair tax increases.
 The rapid swing away from Prohibition and pros- poets that liquor within another year may be to made to carry it's share of the tax burden
 Committee agreement on the remodeled Glass banking bill which is hailed by many who feared the original bill deflationary measure as bene- fical reform comparable in importance to the Fed eral Reserve reform itself.
 The heartening decrease in the number of bank failures due in part to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and other emergency legislation enacted during the winter, and diminished hoarding.
 These developments do not obscure although they temper the effect of business failures such the Insul trouble.
 While the situation does not call for any shrill Pollyannash announcements of the just around the corner kind the country should note and welcome these signs of improvement

The Ellsworth Expedition.
(NeW York Times.)

That Lincoln Ellsworth has long been looking forward to an expedition of his own is indicated by letter that he wrote his father back in 1925:
 It is my wish in life to accomplish solely
 through my individual efforts something
 noteworthy for science. I have chosen ex-
 ploration because I feel particularly fitted
 for that work
 He had been trying to get his fathers consent go into the Arctic and had suggested that instead of bestowing upon him home in Europe Cor his father was the owner of the famous Villa Palmieri near Florence and chateau in Switzerland the equivalent in value might be placed as "a working fund in some national institution particularly inter ested in exploration"
 He succeeded at last in getting his fathers re- luctant consent to join Amundsen in his Arctic ex- petition By a substantial contribution of money as well as by his own sharing of the peris of the polar sea flight under the Norwegian flag-since he could get cooperation from his own country-he became partner in of the great pioneering ad- ventures of all time. Later he again set out with his intrepid friend Amundsen in airship fitting "our needs and the size of purse" across the Arctic waste, ured by the mystery that lay between the Pole and Alaska.
 It must be gratifying to all who have followed him in these other exploits to know that he is at last to gratify his fondest wish in life" and lead unknown to the known-"beyend the confines of dogma" to use his phrase. When Antarctica has been crossed, he plans, the last great undiscovered expanse of the earth's surface will for the first time have been seen by man.

SYNOPSIS: Caught--Jenny ReveIl thinks, when she sees Garth Agency approaching. She doesn't want to be discovered, because she is going to a we'd ding ceremony that must be kept secret. Her cousin, Geor- gie is marrying Eddie Town send, and if this is made pub lie, her employer, Grafton Matching, will discharge her. since he will have only un- married women in his employ. When Agency met the girls the previous evening, Jenny real ized he spent most of his time with Georgie. He was really trying to bribe Georgie, by order of Matching, his uncle, to see whether she might be the source of escaping infor- nation about business. But Jenny does not known this, and believes he is interested in Georgie. She likes him herself and wishes he preferred her, as Georgie is already engaged and in love. Aveney's success in proving Georgie's innocence leaves him free to develop Jen- ny's acquaintance, which he seems eager to do.

 Good morning." Jenny Revell.
 She was helplessly silent. He sat down beside her and she no- ticed that there was a good deal of color in his face She feared it was there because her manner was offending him and, for the moment, Georgie was forgotten.
 T didn't think you would rec ognize me" she said childishly.
 Didn't you want me to? Was that why you were hiding behind that big hat? As matter of fact he went on, T recognized your hands. Does that surprise you?"
 She was again tongue-tied. She looked down at her hands as though they could help her. Geor- gie had once remarked that they were very beautiful, but that could hardly be the reason for-yet she wore no rings, nothing to dis tinguish them.
 Why" said Garth Agency, one hand on his hip, one elbow crooked over the back of the seat, do you always run away from my very simple quesftions?"
 They're not simple" returned Jenny from the depths of her per- plexities. T mean they may be easy for you to ask; but they're horribly hard to answer"
 Perhaps they are" he agreed unexpectedly. He, too, dangled a hand for the tabby cat to slide
