Wholesale Markets.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April 22-Gains Of 6
cents a pound in butter, nearly Q cents
a pound in cheese and more than Is
cents a case in evaporated milk prices
in primary cash markets have bright
ened the dairy picture in the last few
days
Firming quotations in butter mirrored
improved statistics, such as a drop In
storage stocks in 26 markets, lighter
receipts in four of the leading markets
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Chicago-and lessened production.
The return of beer lifted sales OF
some of the so-called dessert cheeses
from IS to 100 per cent in the last two
weeks, exhausting warehouse stocks and
threatening a shortage in certain grades
and brands.
Evaporated milk packers at their
Chicago meeting this week agreed to
back the dairying price stabilization
plans sponsored by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace.
Meanwhile several States, including
New York; Ohio and Wisconsin, have
passed or are considering minimum milk
price laws. In some cases, however, the
dairying industry-evaporated and con-
densed milk, for instance-will be af-
fected by minimum working hours. The
drinking of milk, in some localities, has
declined as beer consumption increased.

Commodity Price
Trends of Week

AUBURNDALE, Mass, April % R.-
All commodities this week advanced
sensationally, rejecting the act Of the
United States moving of the interna-
tional gold standard. OF IA individual
groups, nine advanced. while the other
groups showed no change worth men
tioning.
The object of the embargo on gold is
to create higher commodity prices and
combat deprecated currencies abroad.
There are many side issues such as
the inflationary power of the President
to issue Treasury certificates, the ac-
ceptance of the next payment on war
debts in silver, and the contemplation
of the lowering of the gold content of
the dollar, which would make the pur-
chasing power Of the gold dollar ma
terially less than the present level.
Industrial Prices.
Commodity prices are in a peculiar
position. If a world agreement is
reached during the world economic par
ley, higher commodity prices will event.

depreciation internally Of the dollar
and the issuance OF Treasury certin.
Gates or lowering of the gold content
for basic commodities.
Industrial prices advanced more rap
idly than at any time since the depres-
sion started in 1929. Prices are now
comparable with quotations at the OPEN
ing of the year and reflect strength IN
fuels, non-ferrous metals, ferrous met
ais, paint materials, textiles and vegeta-
BILE oils.
Agricultural prices moved upward
with more rapidity than any other
group. The grains in particular were
strong, yet all Of the speculative groups
were very sensitive to the change IN
monetary conditions. The combination
of deliberate price imitation, coupled
with farm relief, forms q nucleus lor
unusual price strength.
Live stock prices failed to move up
ward, prices for hogs, cattle and sheep.
fluctuating within a relatively narrow
range.
Non-ferrous metals were sharply
higher under the leadership of copper,
tin, lead and zinc. Silver, which has
come into great prominence under the
plan for imitation, is now quoted at 35H2
per cent as compared with an extreme
low in this depression of 24H per cent.
Fine textiles advanced sharply, spot
cotton moving upward to the highest
point since last September. Silk was
materially higher.
The nine groups that showed imme-
diate response to inf1ationary measures
were industrial. agricultural, fuels, non-
ferrous metals, ferrous metals, paint
materials, fine and coarse textiles and
vegetable oils.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 22.-After OPEN
ing off about 81 bale, cotton prices
today advanced 80 points under an i'm
provement in both the stock and grain
markets and buying became the most
aggressive of the week.
Tens of thousands of bales were taken
from the ring as orders poured into
the exchange from all directions and a
prominent broker created q sensation
toward the close by bidding 1922 for
$4,000 bales of March contracts. Spots
were up 10 points to 760.
Cotton prices continued to reflect the
heavy increase in outside buying in
terest. Uncertainty over the extent Of
currency imitation to be effected in
Washington kept the market excited
and as fast as previous buyers took
profits new purchasers appeared to ab-
sorb all contracts for sale.
May liquidation continued to be a
feature of trading in advance of first
notice day on Tuesday Various inter-
ests sold May steadily against pur-
chases in later months.
Clear weather was reported in the
Southwest, where moisture still remains
deficient, particularly in western sec
tions of Texas.

HOW TO FIX COSTS
SHOWN BY EXPERT
Chief Economist Fox of Tariff
Commission Speaks Before
D. C. Accountants.

The chief economist of the United
States Tariff Commission, A. Manuel
Fox discussed the important problem
of Joint or multiple production costs"
at the monthly meeting of Washington
Chapter, National Association of Cost
Accountants, held at the Mayfower
Hotel.
Mr.. Fox briefly sketched the methods
Of production through the family, hand
craft, domestic and factory systems,
and some of the industrial tendencies
and trends, and made clear that joint
costs are found by distinguishing be-
tween waste, spoilage, scrap, by-products
and joint products. Then he treated
the prevailing practices in accounting
for joint and by-product costs.
In explaining the tendencies of in
dustry 10 meet economic changes and
trade competition with particular refer
ence to joint costs, Mr.. Fox gave the
following set-up: Cd Sterilization
through limitation of types, sizes and
numbers of the different products: (2)
aggregation, or the increase in the size
OF the factory units; 80 specialization,
or the limitation of activities of men
and enterprises; "a extreme division of
labor and transfer of skill
How to Determine Costs.
To secure a practical and satisfac-
tory method of determining costs, the
speaker showed that waste, spoilage and
scrap must be segregated from measur-
able finished products. Mr. Fox de-
fined by-products, joint products and
co-productS. Illustrations drawn from
a varied experience were used to assist
in explaining these technical differ
enceS.
Whenever 1t was feasible, without
involving either too much detail or too
great an expense, the speaker recon-
mended that separable costs data be
accumulated for at least the more i'm
portant products of the multiple
, production industries whenever possible.
He stated that neither accountants nor
economists have been able to devise a
method which yielded by-product or
joint-cost figures that did not involve
an element of arbitrariness.
With this background he then de-
scribed methods of allocating Joint
costs, first for by-products and secondly
for joint costs-the accepted methods
of distributing joint costs on the basis
of selling price or selling prices, less
separable costs was explained. 1t was
next demonstrated that the use of the
market prices brought unsatisfactory
results in a number of cases cited.
Second Method Described.
The second method of distributing
Joint costs, the use Of standard or nor
NAL values based on average prices over
a long period or the use of fixed CO.
efficient computed on the normal values
of the joint products or other com.
parable data or on combination OF
data was then described and followed
by the accepted methods of costs dis
tribution based on physical co-efficients,
such as weight or volume.
In an open forum such as is held at
each meeting of the chapter number
of cost problems were discussed at
length by the members, their guests and
the speaker.
Plans were discussed for attendance
of members at the annual convention IN
New York in June and election OF OIL
GERS at the May meeting.

CURB SHARES GAIN
DESPITE SELLING
Market Advances IrreguIarIy
in Face of Profit
Taking.
BY JOHN L. COOLEY,


NEW YORK. April 22.-Despite fur
ther active realizing the curb market
today continued to advance in some
what irregular fashion.
Traders were busy hunting up new
industrial specialties which might be
expected to benefit from the expected
imitation. Hitherto inactive issues, like
Babcock & Wilcox, Chesebrough Manu-
featuring and Scovill Manufacturing,
were bid up from to points.
Some Of the pacemakers of the
weeks advance acted a bit tired, but
additional gains were shown in New
mont Mining. A. o. Smith, Interna-
tional Petroleum, Electric Bond &
Share, Pan-American Airways, Swift &
Co., Standard Oil of Indiana and Deere
& Co. Improvement in many of these
were limited to fractions.
The pressure Of profit taking told in
stocks like Commonwealth Edison, Gulf
Oil and National Sugar, which lost a
point or so.

1t is generally known that Rev.
Ray Huff is in GAINESVILLE hospital,
having had to undergo an operation
for appendicitis. The latest word is
that he is doing fine, which will be
gratifying to host of friends.
1t is well that we have young
people who can do things. When
Rev. Ray Huff was stricken he was
to fill in with sermon here, the
services that day being in the hands
of the c. E. society. When the time
came for this part of the service, we
expected vacancy, but not SO, Car
los Farmhouse of Belle Valley took
the sacred desk and delivered quite
a fitting address.
1t was with sorrow that the news
was received here of the death Of
Miss Phoebe McNutt, aged 65, which
occurred at the home of her broth
er Elmer McNutt, who lives at
Kirkersville. Most of her early life
was spent on the old home farm
near here. For the past few years
she has made her home with her
eldest brother, Michael who lives
about two miles from here. She
was one of large family of robust
children, whose father and mother
used more than ordinary good sense
in niyu ba foy To
our way of thinking, the mother
was remarkable woman,-one of
the best old, granny DOCTORS" we
ever knew. She had a keen insight
into the treatment of. ills, far re-
moved from anything like quackery.
If the poor, helpless unprotected
sheep could think and reason, they
would certainly live in constant fear
of dogs, as our forefathers feared
an attack from Indians, less than
$50 years ago. Dogs made a raid
recently here one night and killed
ten for Ermine Reed, seven for Don
McNutt, and two for Albert Ramage.
And the strange thing Is that no.
body keeps sheep killing dog, so
the dog owners say.
Ernest Thorla of Manchester
township who owned a good team of
black horses, had the misfortune to
lose one of them.
That old quirk, "Great big house
and nobody livin' in it, or that
very trite saying, "No house is big
enough for two families" are both
losing much of their significance
these times. We have been aware
Of much doubling up" in towns
and cities, but the same is taking
place in the country There are two
homes here that are housing three
