Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY H. N. McGILL,

Editor MeGil Commodity service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, May n CP.
ALI commodity prices again surged
upward during the past week. The in
dex stands at new high represent
ing an advance from the extreme low
measuring IA per cent. Out of IA tn
dividual groups, advanced, only 2
declined and remained unchanged.
Industrial prices recorded a favorable
gain, due to higher quotations in
chemicals, hides and leather, non-fer-
rous metals, ferrous metals, textiles,
both fine and coarse, and vegetable
oils. The great problem today Is to de-
termine what proportion Of the price
recovery is due to fundamental con-
ditions and what proportion is due to
inflationary measures.
Economic Farley.
Industrial activity and commodity
prices were resting on such dras-
tically low level at the time inna-
tionary measures were inaugurated
that the response was immediate.
The big question In economic con-
ditions during the mere term hinges
on the economic parley in June, which.
if successful, will hold commodity prices
sensitive to any changes in tariff laws.
Agriculture prices failed to gain, the
index being fractionally lower than the
previous week Grains were reactlonary
and cotton also lost ground. These
declines more than offset the increases
in wool and f1axseed prices.
Live stock quotations surged upward
with more rapidity than has been noted
in many weeks This group was slow
to respond to advancing prices in March
and April, but now rapidly closing up
the gap. During the past week prices
for cattle, hogs and sheep all averaged
higher.
Hides and leather continued the SEN
sational advance which has been in
effect for several weeks. Hide prices
now stand 141 per cent over the low OF
last March while sole leather has ad-
vanced 3S per cent and betting leather
but 18 per cent
Non-ferrous metals registered a sub
stantial gain. Copper reached a new
high of IA cents. Lead was also up
10 points. Tin reached a high of 81
cents, representing an increase from
the low of April. year ago, measuring
102 per cent. Quicksilver was stronger
and zinc prices also reached new high.
Ferrous metals advanced, the COM
posite price of steel showing the hrst
upturn in over a year. The composite
price of iron reached the highest point
since March. 1882. the upward trend
of production has been we'll maintained.
Particularly in view of the subnormal
consumption in building and railroads.
Fine textiles successfully advanced de-
spite moderate reaction in cotton. The
upturn was due almost entirely to
higher wool quotations, although silk
showed more disposition to advance.
The further advance in coarse textiles
brought that index to level Is per
cent over the low.
Paint materials represent the second
group that declined fractionally, build
ing materials, fuels and paper and pulp
remain unchanged.

SUMMER BUSINESS
PROSPECT IS GOOD
Analyst Points to Signs Of
Revival in Several
Lines.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 27.-Summer dull
ness, an annual business bugaboo. has
little statistical substance and less than
usual this year, Franklyn Hobbs, Chi
cago analyst, said.
mo fundamental reason now exists
for a business decline during the Sum-
mer of 1888" Hobbs asserted. I'm fact,
it Is principally a tradition of business
but one of those traditions which die
hard"
"A review of the 10 Summers from
1920 to 1929, inclusive, shows that in
that decade there were only three really
dull Summers-those of 1924, when the
whole year was dull; 1921 "a depression
year,, when it was no worse than the
Spring months, and 1920. when it was
really better than the Fall, although
possibly classified as dull" he added.
four genuinely slow Summer seasons
for American business, Hobbs said.
They were in 1906, 1910, 1911 and 1914.
THE recessions those years were ac-
counted for principally by the fact that
10 to Is per cent of the entire working
population" he continued, was en-
joying itself in vacations and not CIV
ing time to business"
Hobbs traced the tradition of Sum-
mer dullness principally to the Amert-
can practice in former years of buying
most of its automobiles during two
Spring months, of procuring the next
Winters coal in March and April, and
of moving into new leaseholds on May
l. The last tended to concentrate
renting activity in the Spring.
Favorable prospects for the coming
Summer noted by Hobbs included gains
in packing house business last month
contrary to seasonal trends, furni-
ture industry predictions the coming
Summer would bring more new business
than any season since 1925 decline,
and the general Improvement in en-
creaseS.
Effects of these last two factors,
Hobbs said, may be felt In industry just
about the time the Summer gets well
under way.

TO SEEK
SPECIAL RULE
ON MEASURE
Resolutions Fate Is in Doubt;
Faces Rough Going When
1t Reaches House

Increasing pressure to force an
early Senate vote on repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendment and
legalization of beer was applied
today by Senate vets under lead
ership of Senator Blaine (RD Of
Wisconsin.
Blaine planned to renew his
request that the repeal resolution
now on the Senate calendar be
made q special order of business
for one day next week. His first
effort along this line was blocked
by Senator Smoot (R) of Utah.
Move With Caution
The Senate wet bloc moved
carefully for fear of entangling
the repeal proposal in the ssnoul-
dering Democratic feud over the
Glass banking reform bill.
A favorable report on the beer
bill was expected Monday from
the full Senate Judiciary Com
mittee. A subcommittee, with
Blaine as chairman, redrafted
the measure approved in the
House with a view to meeting
legal attacks that might be raised
against it.
In addition to changing the
language, the subcommittee re-
duced the alcoholic content al
lowable under the bill from 80
to sos by weight.
With the inevitable eleventh
hour jam Of legislation only a
few days ahead, wet optimism re-
garding passage of the repeal
resolution and the beer bill prior
to March 4 was somewhat shaken.
Repeal Faces Trouble
The repeal proposal indorsed
by the Judiciary Committee faced
opposition not only from Senate
drys but from some of the
Democratic vets, who sized it up
as meeting the Republican rather
than the Democratic platform
pledge.
The beer bill, after approval
by the Judiciary Committee, was
to be referred to the Senate
Finance Committee for q report
on its revenue features. Thus
its sponsors were faced by addi-
tional delay in bringing it before
the Senate for a vote.
Some of the drys pointed out
that even should the Senate
approve the repeal resolution, it
would meet determined opposi-
ton among House Democrats,
who supported the Garner pro
gram Of naked repeal"
