Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY III. n. McGILL,

Editor McGill Commodity Service, Inc,
AUBURNDALE, Mass, June 3 [P).-
Commodity prices during the past week
! continued the march upward with un-
| abated momentum. The index for all
! commodities reached a new high, now
; standing Is per cent above the low of
three months ago. Price strength was
not limited to the speculative groups,
but items laboring under the weight
| of burdensome reserve stocks success
| fully advance also. Outstanding in this
| group was copper, which at the end OF
| the week was quoted at 8 cents, COM
| pared with a low of 5 cents earlier in
the year; rubber, which is well over 6
cents, representing more than 100 per
cent increase from the low, while cotton
| forged ahead to over cents, repre-
senting an advance from the minimum
of 1882 of IS per cent. Out of IA indi-
vidual groups IL advanced last week,
only one declined which was fuels. that
! decline being only fractional due to the
| price cut in kerosene oil. Groups re-
manning steady were chemicals and
paper and pulp.
Industrial Group.
Industrial commodities jumped to a
! new high, which represents an advance
of IL per cent from the low This
compares with a 80 per cent increase
| in agricultural productE Industrial ac-
| tivity showed no appreciable gain dur
| ing the week, but held on relatively high
| ground, compared with two months ago.
In many quarters it Is considered that
| the present movement upward Is largely
a belated seasonal rise.
Agricultural prices advanced further
| last week, but the movement was OF
| small proportions as the upturn In
| grains was counteracted in part by
weakness in dairy products.
Live stock quotations which for weeks
| had been dragging behind the general
commodity price rise, increased more
| than any other group. Cattle, hogs and
| lambs showed considerable strength
| carrying the index to level Al per
| cent over the extreme low. Hides and
| leather continued the sensational ad-
vance which has been in effect for sew
! eral weeks, hides now quoted at 1924
cents, which compared with cents
! earlier in the year. Leather prices were
also stronger.
Ncn-ferrous metals recorded an ap-
preciable gain as copper, lead, tin and
zinc reached new high ground in the
advance. Ferrous metals were only
fractionally higher. The composite
price of pig iron averaged slightly
higher than week ago.
Fine textiles at the end of the week
stood SO per cent above the low, silk
ruling higher and Gotten climbing over
the 9-cent level.
Other groups that were higher DUR
ing the past week were paint materials,
coarse textiles, and vegetable oils.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Indications
that the volume of business on Fall

a greater tendency among retailers to

Percale prices have been advanced
to a basis of 1919 cents for 80 squares

MISS BRITAIN III
GETS ENGINE

ALGONAC, Mich, Sept. 4.
Half defeated, but still game,
Hubert Scott-Paine, red d-headed
British challenger, swung a brand
new motor into his Miss Britain
III this morning and prepared
to make a second assault this
afternoon on the historic Harms
worth Trophy, symbol of world
water speed championship.
Shortly before 9 a. M, the
Miss Britain roared down the
course to test her new power
plant, the bright morning sun
flashing on her silvered metal
hull. Observers said the motor
functioned perfectly and pro-
duced speed we'll ahead of any,
thing showing in Saturdays slow
first heat.
If he should win, third and
deciding heat will be run tomor-
row.
The odds this morning were
heavily on Wood. Even the
challenger himself appeared to
hold little real hope that he
could win. No one knew better
than Scott-Paine that to win the
Harmsworth he must defeat not
only the worlds fastest hydro
plant, and the worlds most cum
ming pilot, but also one Of the
most uncanny "jinxes" in all the
realm of sport.

trophy from England in 1920.
If Scott-Paine should succeed

day it would be the first time in
13 years that it has been done.
Indeed, If Scott-Paine merely
succeeds in travelling the IS miles
of the course without a mishap
1t will break a 13-year record.
Never since Wood took the
PLAGUE, has a HarmWorth race
been completed in two or more
heats. Always something has
happened to the challenger.

Americans Too
Serious About
Tennis, Ell?

NEW YORK, Sept. GN.SO.
Americans take tennis too se1i-
ously, Bernon S. Prentice, chair
man of the Davis Cup commit
tee, charged today in a report
covering the work of the United
States team. Avoiding any ex-
cuse for Americas defeat by
England and saying the team
was in shape, declared:
England does not take her
sports too seriously and realizes
that excuses and alibis are not
consistent with sportsmanship
and playing the game. Certainly
the charge that our team had
too much tennis in Paris during
the two weeks prior to the inter-
zone match is absurd"
Although unsuccessful for the
Davis Cup, the team came out
even financially, according to
the report.

less than a round-heeled member

Calm Assurance
Jack is inclined to view the
match with the calm assurance
of a champion, but he wants it
distinctly understood that it is
folly to make him an overwhelm-
ing favorite to win the title
against such a powerful array Of
talent.

Different Make Ups.
Here we have two players of
entirely different make-ups in
sofar as their relation to the
local tennis situation is con-
cerned. Shore is we'll known
here ever since the days in '27
when he began winning matches
for Central High School against
some Western High School play
ers who were above the average
OF the ordinary school netmen.
He swept through many of the
local tournaments and made
favorable impressions in other
fields both by his play in invita-
ton tournaments and as men,
ber of the Washington court
team.
McElvenny came here unher-
aided. 1t was only after the
clerks tennis event got well under
way that stories began leaking
out that here was more than just
another player. Research proved
that he is one of the best in the
Rocky Mountain region, that he
was member of the intercol-
legiate doubles championship
team in 1928 and earned twenty
fourth ranking nationally that
year. His work so far in his only
competition in the Capital has
answered any doubts as to his
ability.

CURFEN HALTS

TIE CAME

Eight games ahead and with
the National League pennan t
apparently clinched, hog-tied and
stuck all over with red sealing
wax, the New York Giants came
home today from the Boston up
rising. which turned out consid-
cradle of a tempest in a teapot.
In fact, things finally came to
such a pass they had to call on
the Massachusetts law. which
prohibits baseball extending be-
yond time-to-go-to- church, to stop
one of the biggest setbacks ever
handed a challenger.
After the Giants won the first
game of a Sunday doubleheader,
4 to 8, in II innings from Bos-
tons Braves, the curfew law
banged down to end the second
engagement at 4-all with two out
in the last half of the ninth in
ming. Naturally when a team
makes the Giants go IA innings
to win and then ties up a nine
inning affair, it can't be said they
have punchless crew, but cold
figures show of the six games
played in Boston four went to the
Giants, the Braves won only one
and they are now submerged in
third place, having proved they
were good. but not good enough.

Adolfo ("Schoolboy'D Luque,
42-year-old Cuban pitcher. was
the gent who finally made it per-
fectly plain the Braves had been
called, but couldn't answer. He
took up the burden for New York
in the first game after Bill Shores
started to slip and painted a
masterpiece in relief hurting the
fourteenth lining. when he ended
it all with a single that brought
home the winning run. Two hours
later when Parmalee and Spencer
could not stand the pace, Luque
went back to the mound in the
eighth inning of the Seond game
and stemmed the tide.
Huck Belts certainly had no
apologies to make for his fine
work in the opener. He held the
Giants to 10 hits.
Mr.. Cantwell was moving along
nicely in the nightcap, too, giving
the Terrymen only four hits. In
deed, Boston outhit the enemy in
both battles and this may explain
a lot of things about Boston's
big failure. for hits are supposed
to win ball games.
Those tail-end Cininnati Reds
are always making trouble for
some one. They bobbed up again
yesterday, beating the unsuspect-
ing Pittsburgh Pirates, 9 to 3. The
defeat snapped the BUGS winning
streak of eight games. Red Lucas
kept the Pirates IL hits spaced,
while behind him the Reds scored
four runs in the fifth inning and
four more in the sixth.
