NEW YORK, August IL (N.AN.A).
Why buy foreign government bonds

August 9, at the Dutch Bank, 246
guilders for each dollar, or total Of

Of about IS cents to the guilder, which
would give the $50 coupon q value of
somewhat more than $40.50.

debtors decide to meet the service on
their engagements in dollars regardless

premium on many foreign bonds will

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY II. N. McGILL,
Editor Mcoin Commodity Service, Inc.


AUBURNDALE, Mass. August II ll,.
Commodity prices during the week
moved irregularly. resulting in a minor
decline In the composite index covering
all groups. The principal declines were
noted in the speculative group. this
being due chiefly to agricultural prod
ucts and textiles. A recapitulation
shows seven declines, five increases
while two groups remain unchanged
Industrial commodities. agricultural
products, fuels, paint materials. fine
textiles coarse textiles and vegetable
oils rule lower The four advances took
place in live stock, building materials,
hides and leather. and paper and pulp.
Industrial prices lost but little ground
and the index still stands 80 per cent
above the low Of last February Indus
trial production for the week featured
sidewise trend rather than a contin-
uation of the upward movement which
has been in effect since last March
Speculative buying is less pronounced
and retailers now hold inventories of
finished goods far in excess of a year
ago.
Agricultural prices were lower. re-
flecting weakness in barley, rye, cotton,
beans. potatoes, f1axseed and butter.
The crop report released during the
week indicated the smallest corn crop
since 1901 and the lowest production of
wheat and oats In IS years Low pro-
duction Is counteracted in part by
relatively heavy carryover Of food and
feed grains.
Live stock quotations averaged higher
during the week. with the principal
grades of hogs and cattle moving up
ward between 10 and 20 cents per hun
dredweight
Building materials continued the up
swing, the advance being again entirely
due to further mark-up in lumber
prices.
Hides and leather prices renewed the
upward trend during the week. being
due to a price increase in betting
leather
Non-ferrous metals have experienced
difficulty in registering higher levels
in recent weeks and the index recorded
no change from week ago.
Ferrous metals were slightly higher,
rejecting further increase In the price
Of steel scrap.
Paper and pulp prices recorded IA
vorable gain, the movement being at
tributable to price strength in pulp as
we'll as higher levels for bond paper.
Fine textiles lost the most ground of
any group as spot cotton dropped sub
stantially under the 10-cent level
Coarse textiles were also weak and
vegetable oils declined sharply as lin
seed. cottonseed and palm oils were
quoted lower.
