BUSINESS INDEX
TOPS YEAR AGO
Heavy Price Increases Are
Noted in Many
Lines.

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, June 1O-In its
weekly summary and Interpretation
of the news of the week important
to business, the Business Week
says: Because prices and produc-
ton fell so very low during the de-
preston, Improvements witnessed
in the past two months have run
up astounding percentages. Tin
prices have risen 1876 per cent;
hides, 167 per cent; wheat, 80 per
cent; cotton, rs per cent; steel pro-
duction, 148 per cent, above their
depression levels. And the tide has
not yet turned.
Electric power consumption con-
tinues high, particularly in our CEN
trail states. There the demand for
automobiles, beer barrels, refriger-
ators continues to boost steel opera
tons. A substantial order for
freight cars nearly overwhelmed
equipment makers, who were caught
uIlpTepdI6Q.
Construction volume during May
went much ahead of April, an I'M
usual performance. Chief interest
centerS in the revival of residential
building. To the surprise of all, it
is the small home builder who
finally has pushed one branch of
the construction industry ahead of
year ago.
Car loadings have naturally re-
sponded to the faster pace of in
dustrial activity even though con-
sumner requirements have become so
urgent that much freight has I'M
doubtedly gone to trucks. May pay
rolls rose as result of growing
employment, longer hours, and
even rate increases.
The Business Weeks Weekly In
deX of Business Conditions showed
preliminary reading of sos for
the week ended June 3, identical
with the revised reading for the
previous week. A year ago the
Index stood at 563.

new HIGHS FOR
SEASON SET BY
WHEAT OPTIONS
All Deliveries OF Oats Up
on Strong Buying
Demand.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, June 10.-Hot, dry
weather and bullish crop estimates
combined with a flood of damage
reports to send all deliveries of oats
and wheat to new seasonal highs on
the Board of Trade today and de-
spite heavy proft-taking sales, the
close was at sharp gains. Corn and
other grains benefited by the
strength in the leaders to move up
fractionally.
Trading was considerably larger
than for several days. Routine
news attracted little attention as a
result of the crop reports from all
sections Of the winter wheat belt
and the oats area. Damage also
was claimed to rye and barley, but
corn benefited by the weather gen.
orally.
At the close, wheat was q to IL
cents higher, corn 4 to q cent
higher, oats IL to Ia cents higher,
rye q to e cent higher and barley
212 cents higher. Provisions were
stronger with grains
Receipts we're cars of wheat, BOT
of corn and 38 of oats. Cash prices
were unchanged to l cent higher on
corn, Il to 1 cent higher on oats
and l to 2 cents higher on wheat.

"Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Kelley:
"ThingS have been in such q
turmoil that I've had very little
time to write to you. But now
everything is o. X. and I'm

Paramount officials looked at
the test and even LubitSch saw
it. Gee, for so long I've
dreamed Of going in pictures
and now that 1 have the con-
