AUBURNDALE, Mass, September 9
P).-Commooity prices during the
week registered moderate increase
Following the broad upturn which
started last March and terminated in
late July, movement that measured
80 per cent, the underlying trend dur.
ing the first three weeks of August, was
moderately downward. In the past three
weeks price changes have fuctuated
within narrow range-down one week
and up the next. The slight upturn
during the past week is not attributable
to any one particular group, for a re-
view shows that out of IA individual
commodity indices, advanced. 4 de-
clined. and only 2 remain unchanged
Industrial prices moved upward frac-
tionally. despite the reports confirming
a further contraction in industrial ac-
tivity.
Farm Prices Also Up.
Agricultural prices also averaged
higher Price weakness in grains was
more than counterbalanced by higher
quotations in flaxseed, rice, wool and
hay.
Live stock prices. the third major
group, also averaged higher. Hogs in
particular registered strength which
reflects the Government plan to finance
the slaughter Of 100000 head
Building materials reached new
high, the increase again being due to
higher levels for lumber and lath.
Fuel prices registered a favorable
gain. price strength being particularly
notable in petroleum as mark-ups were
recorded in midcontinent district and
also in Pennsylvania and California
Hides and leather prices. which. dur
ing the past six months increased SEN
sationally, experienced a moderate fall,
weakness in the hide market being re-
sponsible for the break
Non-ferrous metals represent one of
the four groups that declined, the re-
action being due chiefly to power quo
tations for tin and zinc.
Paint materials reached a new high

pulp.

ness in cotton, cotton yarns and silk.
Coarse textiles ruled slightly lower,
rejecting declines in burlap and jute.
Vegetable oils were lower as lower
quotations in cottonseed and cocoanut
oil were more pronounced than the in
creases in linseed and china wood oil
The two groups that remain un-
changed during the week were chemi-
Gals and ferrous metals.

fancy throughout and, while there
were a few mild rallies, many loans

changed
Some of the rails improved follow
ing announcement of the freight car
loading figures for the week ended
September ?, which showed a more
than seasonal gain, exceeding 1900.
The news, however, created no unusual
enthusiasm because the increase was
about in line with expectations and
was attributed principally to an ad-
vance in coal shipments. The drop
in untitled orders of the United States
Steel Corporation of some 10000 tons
was much less than had been expected.
Previous estimates had placed the de-
crease at nearly 100000 tons.

It IS the story Of mother who sends

tent with the fact that the girl will
not have her son, even II 1t does
mean that he must remain only
