advanced, six ruled lower, and only
three groups remain unchanged. Pres
ident Roosevelt's silver proclamation
came too late in the week to be re-
f1ected in commodity markets. Public
psychology quickly changed to greater
optimism in anticipation Of an increase
in foreign trade resulting from greater
foreign buying power.
Industrial prices were fractionally
higher during the week as building ma
terials, non-ferrous metals, and ferrous
metals ruled higher and offset the re-
action in hides and leather as well as
paper and pulp. Figures available on

that the down swing has been definitely
checked and the current trend is side
wise.
Farm Prices Of.
Agricultural products lost consider
able ground. The broad decline IN the
index was primarily due to lower quota
tions for wheat, corn, oats, butter and
eggs, beans, and sugar.
Live stock quotations have also con-

to note that live stock quotations. un-
