BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
If shipping demands improve to the
slightest degree live stock prices would
seem to have an opportunity to regain
some of the loss they have suffered
in one Of the worst weeks for all classes
and kinds this year.
Cattle lost as much as 81 on the 100
pounds in some instances at Chicago
during the last marketing period, hogs
35 to As cents and fat lambs lost rs
cents to establish new seasonal lows
and in every case the lack of consumer
outlet was responsible to very large
extent.
The decline in cattle has been under
way for the last two weeks and it takes
pretty good steer to bring 10 cents
a pound on the hoof. A week ago the
same kind cost S10.35 on the 100
pounds. Countrymen, seeing the drop
in fat cattle values, temporarily de-
serted grassy and short fed stock that
had been moving rather freely on re-
placement account. And the final re-
suit was a general so to IS cent down.
turn on the excessive run of well
fleShed light steers and yearlings and
another crop of short-fed weighty
steers such as upset the market week
earlier.
Other killing classes also worked un-
evenly lower. Strictly grain-fed light
heifer and mixed yearling offerings
suffered the least decline, but even
those closed the week 25 cents lower.
The fat cattle market just about went
to pieces when shipper demand be-
came narrow in response to sluggish
condition in the dressed trade. The
excessive supply of yearlirgs and light
steers gave buyers the chance they had
been seeking for six weeks, to deflate
market, which so far as short-fed
cattle are concerned. had been con-
sidered entirely too high.
Jewish holidays were a contributing
factor in reducing shipper outlet.

Commodity Price
Changes of Week
BY ii. n. McGILL,

Editor. McGiH Commodity Service. Inc.
AOBURNDALE, Mass, October g.
A portion OF the broad advance in
commodity prices since June was wiped
cut during the past week. The average
of all commodities dropped more than
one point. Out of ID individual groups
five advanced, enc remained unchanged,
while eight registered a decline.
All commodities are now comparable
with the last week in July. The sharp
decline during the week was due pri-
marily to the agricultural group which
declined more than points. The live
stock group was down over one point.
Fractional declines in hides and leather,
paint materials, paper and pulp, textiles
both fine and coarse, and vegetable
oils. helped to establish a lower price
level
Industrial! Group.
Industrial commodities showed a
trend contrary to the downward move
ment, bringing the index to the level
witnessed the fret week in September
fractionally below the high in this up
ward movement. The total advance to
date measure5 per cent. The increase
in production IN industry has been
limited primarily to consumers goods.
cotton, silk, wool, rayon, boots and
shoes. etc. Other major industries such
as automobile, building. non-ferrous
metals, etc. have continued to feature
a rate of production in keeping with
subnormal demand and stagnation in
industrial activity. Latest statistical
da.a for the month of September shows
tnat inventories in the main declined
moderately.
Agricultural prices lost more ground
than any other group, but are still S
per cent over the low point in early
July. The bulk of the decline is di
rectly attributable to the grains which
due to heavier market receipts and
limited demand reached new low levels
for this country.
Live stock were lower but at the
same time are nearly points higher
than was the case in January of this
year. Non-ferrCus metals again showed
strength following a recession in the
preceding week. The huge reserves that
are burdensome in terms of actual con-
sumption are bound to act as weight
on price recovery.
Fine textiles were only fractionally
lower Cotton and silk cid not sue
cessfully hold the peak levels in the
advance but have resisted pressure
toward extremely low levels noted in
the early Summer Rayon and wool
continue to show price stability.
Price Summary.
Summarizing price developments for
the week, the five groups which were
higher were industrial. building mate
rials, fuels. non-ferrcus metals and

remained unchanged was chemicals.

SIX FACTORS NAMED
AS HELPING OUTLOOK

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, october 8-The United
Busines Service names six basic factors
in the improved outlook for retail busi-

are:
1. Firmer price structure.
2. Upturn in factory activity and pay
rolls.
g. Return Of money from boarding.
4. Lessening of fear.
S. Accumulated consumer demand.
6. Rise in farm prices.

Players Hoping for Snow or Rain
at Los Angeles So They Can
Take a Holiday.

By the Associated Press.
OS ANGELES, March 15.-The
New York Giants, always hard
| to please, are starting to grumble
about the weather.
John McGraw is perfectly satisfied,
for he says it is the first training sea-
son in his experience IN which the
weather failed to halt activities for at
least one day. But the Woodworking
athletes are praying for a little snow or
rain so they can take holiday.
CLEARWATER, Fla, March 15.-The
trading of Babe Herman has stirred up
a new battle for utility roles In tne
Brooklyn Dodgers outfield.
Frank O'Doul, Hack Wilson and
Johnny Frederick are considered almost
certain starters, but there will be room
for two substitutes. For these posts
Ike Boone, Denny Southern, Al Cohen
and Murray Howell can battle.
OS ANGELES, March 15.-On the
IL basis of information cleaned during
the series with the New York
Giants, Manager Rogers Hornsby OF the
Cubs is expected to trim the club roster
during the next three days.
Del Young, youthful inf1elder, has
been turned over to the Reading CLUB
of the International League, and sew

fielder; Mike Kreevich, outfelder, ana
Catcher Bill Campbell, will be handed
to Los Angeles.

The Braves still are being trailed by the
weak-hitting jinx, but Manager Bill
McKechnie says that it can't last much
longer.
He saws that wally Berger certainly
can't continue his 500 strikeout average
much longer and he thinks that with a
little seasonal weather the rest Of the
squad also will improve.
