Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY H. N. McGILL,

Editor. McGilI Commodity Service. Inc.
ACBURNDALE. Mass. August 26 C4).
&C ommodity prices during the past
week registered halt in the reaction
which has been noted in the previous
three weeks. The month of August, as
a whole. marked a definite halt in the
advancing price trend of commodities
and the underlying trend throughout
the month, with the exception OF the
past week, wes moderately yet definite
ly downward. A recapitulation of the
IA groups shows that six declined, six
advanced and two groups remained un-
changed.
Industrial prices during the week
showed a slight increase. Industrial
activity is moderately under the high
level of few weeks ago. this being
true of both the heavy and light in
dustries. The decline that has been
taking place in prices is undoubtedly
a belated seasonal movement. The in
crease in industrial prices during the
week just closed was due principally to
higher quotations for certain building
materials, fuel oil, feathers and paper
and pulp.
Farm Prices Recover.
Agricultural prices during the last
week gained much Of the ground lost
a week ago, rejecting higher quotations
for practically all of the grains and
dairy products. which increase more
than Offset the decline in flaxseed
Speculative commodities recently lost
more ground than any other group and
this was only natural in view of the
sensational advances which took place
in such items and wheat and cotton
during the five-month period from
March through July.
Live stock quotations declined slight
ly during the week. The first ship
ment Of the 100000 hogs which the
Government intends to buy arrived into
market. Cattle and sheep prices also
declined slightly.
The increase in building material
prices during the past week was due
principally to higher quotations Tor lime
the first change in this product noted
in many years.
The hide and leather index showed
an increase, due chiefly to betting and
upper feathers.
The change in fuel prices was due
fuel oil, while bituminous coal prices
at the mines held about the same level
Paper and pulp prices showed quite
a substantial increase, due to higher
quotations for binders, chip and news
board as well as higher quotations for
box paper
Non-ferrous metals are holding rela-
lively steady with the increase in silver
and tin prices being Offset by lower
zinc quotations.
Ferrous Metal on.
The ferrous metal index fell off
slightly during the past week due to
a recession in steel scrap prices.
The groups which advanced during
the last week were industrial, agricul-
tural. building materials, fuels, hides
and leather, and paper and pulp. De-
clines were registered in livestock. fer
rous metals, paint materials, both fine
and coarse textiles and vegetable oils.
Most important price changes in the

BUTTER ADVANCES
DESPITE SURPLUS
Huge Storage Holdings Fail to Stop
f, Continued Price Increases at
Central Markets.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 26.-The Nations
butter market, which affects farmers
pocketbooks from coast to coast, is de-
lying its own statistics again.
In the face of a huge storage surplus
and sub-normal consumption, the mar
ket has edged consistently higher this
last week, principally in response to
the Governments announced plans to
buy up surplus stocks of butter and
cheese.
BY September /. officials of the ex-
change estimate. storage holding of
butter will total at least 0,O00, 900
pounds--more than 10000, 900 in excess
OF holdings at the same time last year
Yet butter futures have sold frac-
tionally higher almost daily, rising from
81 to % cents within a week. while
extras in the spot market rose from
1884 to % cents within five days.
In the egg market. both spot prices
and futures have been advancing. A
healthy storage movement has been
displayed since mid-August, with nearly
10000 cases moving out of storage iri
the last week.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 26.-Absence of
hysterical fluctuations in the grain
markets this week was regarded as q
sign that some degree Of stabilization
had been reached.
Speculative trading was small, but
all grains had f1rmer undertone. A
disposition to act on the general run
Of news was also evinced. Strong SEN
timent was noted that the trend Of
grain prices had been definitely hooked
up with the national and world recov-
cry program with belief general that
new and startling developments will be
necessary for grains to result in tnde-
pendent action.
Wheat closed the week firm in tone
and 3ss to 45s cents bushel above
quotations current week ago, corn l "
to 21a cents higher, oats ~ to 312 up,
and provisions 20 to go cents advanced.
The bulk of the advance was registered
late in the week.
Much attention was paid to reports
regarding the progress made by the
International Wheat Conference in
London, although when announcement
was made that an agreement had been
reached it had little apparent effect on
prices More attention was paid to
recurring rumors that national policy
of imitation soon would be attempted.
The long g-awaited expansion CT credit
program Of the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn was announced almost simulta-
neously with the reports from London
telling of an agreed-upon wheat plan.
Both together provided enough mo-
mentum to push all grain prices sharp
ly higher The agreement to reduce
acreage Is per cent was looked upon
as having considerable influence on the
longtime trend of the market, espe-
cially if both exporters and importers
agree to reduce acreage. Subnormal
production Is regarded as having played
an important part IN raising the WORLDS S
carry-over total.
The corn crop Is making only mod
crate progress toward maturity, the
tack of hct, forcing weather Is causing
misgivings because of the lateness OF
the crop ever wide areas. Rains have
helped the situation west Of the Missis-
sippi River. but no moisture has been
reported east of the River The general
condition of the crop is unchanged and
remains critical.
Oats are almost completely harvest
ed and the crop generally far short
of normal. The chief market influ-
ence during the week was a falling OF
IN current supplies at terminal mar
kets.
Rye showed independent strength. as
compared to wheat, with general buy
ing by mills and elevators factor.
The small crop, estimated at 5000, 900
bushels less than the usual disappear
ance of the last 10 years, had scme
effect.
Provisions carried on because Of a
better demand for lard. chiefly In SYM
pathy with grain strength.
