METAL PRICES MOVE
IN IRREGULAR TREND
Lead Buying Continues Active.
Copper Quotations Recede After
Small Mark-up.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March l8 - Fairly
active buying Of lead continued this
week, although following the broad
buying movement in the previous week.
business tapered off somewhat toward
the close. Prices were maintained,
with sales said to balance smelter in
take. Publication Of February statis-
tics revealed the highest stocks in the
United States ON record, rejecting
smaller shipments last month than re-
duced output. However, this facor was
apparently offset by the prospective
seven-month shutdown starting April
l by the principal producer.
Although copper prices were advanced
an additional Il cent TO SIS. cents fcr
electrolytlc, demand remained on
limited scale, and at the close of the
week first hands were again offering
metal at the 5i2 level after resale offer
ings had appeared. The fact that con-
sumers were said to have sufficient
supplies on hand checked buying at
the advance. Export business was
small.
Tin quotations were narrowly irreg-
ular. but the ndertone was steady. A
moderate business was reported almost
entirely for nearby metal. Wide prem
iums for forward delivery asked
earlier in the week checked interest,
but later the differences narrowed
somewhat
Zinc was quiet with consumers gen.
orally unwilling to pay the recently
higher asking prices, although a fair
inquiry was reported under the market.
Reports that mining operators would
resume in the tri-State district caused
some sellers to soften asking prices
toward the close.

New York Cotton
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March l8.-Trading on
the Cotton Exchange quieted down ma
terially today and the tone displayed d
the greatest resistance to pressure. as
was the case yesterday. Prices held
not far from last nights close and
ended with a gain Of points to un-
changed from yesterday. Spots were
unchanged at SIS.
Cotton trading continued to feel the
effects Of the proposed farm legislation.
According to estimates from political
circles. the cost involved in administer
ing the bill would be anywhere from
$500 900 900 to l,50o, 900 900. Owing to
the uncertainty over the distribution of
levy Of this nature manufacturers
were not disposed to make contracts for
the future.
Reports from dry goods quarters
showed that dry goods merchants were
unwilling to sell for forward delivery
without tax clause covering the pos
sible excise costs in the event of pas
sage of such legislation. but buyers are
refusing to accede. and trading has
fallen to only limited proportions. In
order to accomplish the restoration of
cotton prices to the average level of
the five pre-war years it would be nee
essary for consumers to pay the differ
ence between the present market price
of about 6l2c and approximately lac
per pound.
Owing to absence of normal banking
facilities the past 10 days or more week
end statistics reflected a greatly re-
stricted movement Of cotton both from
the interior and toward foreign ports.
Into-sight figures were only SO per cent
OF last year. with exports so, 900 bales,
against $4,000 a year ago

Grain Market

BY the ASSOCIATED Pfess
CHICAGO, March ls.-At no time
were wheat prices today as high as yes
terday's finish.
Uneasiness over agricultural legis-
latiye developments at Washington led
to augmented selling, traders said. There
was a disposition TO 60 slow IN taxing
the purchase side except on sharp
breaks in values.
Rallies that followed early down.
turns of wheat prices lacked force, and
failed to hold well They were mainly
based on a statement by one leading
board member, who put bullish con-
struction on the land d-leasing portion OF
the proposed agricultural enactment.
He added, however, that the immediate
effect of the bill as a whole had been to
discourage general participation in the
market, and to put a damper especially
on enthusiastic buying.
Particular objection by wheat trad
ers was made to regulatory and licenS-
ing sections OF the administration bill
as constituting bearish factors. On the
rallies, which in no case amounted to
more than one-haf cent, there was a
renewal Of selling by numerous traders
who asserted that all confidence in the
market had been destroyed. Extreme
setbacks today carried wheat values at
times to ass cents a bushel under yes
terdays high point. Corn and oats dis
played the same dearth Of active buying
support as did wheat.
Provisions gave way with grains, de-
spite firmness shown by hog values
Wheat closed nervous. lass below

Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY H. n. McGILL.
Editor, MeGill Commodity Service, Inc


AUBURNDALE, Mass March l8-
All commodities for the second consecu-
tive week increased with marked rapid
ity. The upturn is largely attributable
to the fact that the embargo on the
export of gold takes the United States
off the gold basis as far as international
trade and relationships are concerned.
Since gold cannot be withdrawn from
this country the dollar Is now selling
at discount abroad and the price OF
all international commodities has in
creased in terms of dollars. This is
we'll illustrated by noting that interna-
tional commodities, such as farm prod
ucts, copper, silver, etc, have assumed
the leadership in the price upswing
With the value of the dollar no longer
rising but in fact decreasing, it is gen.
orally recognized that it is far better
to have money invested in tangible
commodities than it is in huge bank
balances.
The sharp upswing in speculative
commodities is directly attributable to
short covering. for it is well known that
a fundamental improvement in indus
trial activity, employment and pur-
chasing power has not yet materialized.
Each step of the new administration is
a part of a definite plan which is es-
will support economic reconstruction.
During the past week, out OF IA lnd1-
vidual price groups, 9 advanced. 4 re-
manned steady and only l declined.
Industrial Prices.
Industrial prices recorded an upward
trend, due to strength in such groups
as hides and leather, non-ferrous
metals. ferrous metals. paint materials,
fine textiles and vegetable oils. There
is no sign of any unusual price inf1a-
tion resulting from a radical change
in the monetary system. 1t is very
interesting to note that commodities
are labering under a badly distored
statistical positior-such commodities
as copper, lead. rubber. cotton have
all shown price strength irrespective of
the burdensome stocks which exist in
terms of indicated consumption. The
underlying trend of raw material in
ventofies, however, has been downward
in recent months.
Agricultural prices showed pro-
nounced strength, largely due to the
speculative groups but also rejecting
the inevitable benefits that will come
to the agricultural districts through
the legislative action which has already
taken place.
Live stock prices moved upward,
which was largely a sympathetic move
with all commodities
Non-ferrous metals have shown tre-
mendous strength since the low point
In late February, largely due to the
international characteristics.
The only group that declined during
the past week was coarse textiles,
Chemicals, fuels, paper and pulp and
building materials remain unchanged.
Most important price changes in the
McGill weekly price indices Q926-100):

NEW YORK, March 18-Final steps
to complete the long pending consolida-
ton of North American Aviation. Inc,

be taken next Tuesday with vote OF
stockholders OF the former on the ac-
QUESTION of the latter's assets
II was reported in aviation circles
today that the principal stockholders OF
North American, including the Blair,
National Aviation and La Motto T.
Cohu interests, had agreed to the plan.
Consummation Of the deal, 1t Is
understood. calls for the issuance of
additional North American stock to re-
imburse General Aviation for itS assets.
The latter, controlled blythe General
Motors Corporation. would thus become
the largest stockholder and the domi-
nant factor in the North American
Company, which. as reconstructed,
would own the important Atlantic Sea-
board Airline, Eastern Air Transport,
Inc.
The company, as result of the COM
bination, would be the controlling factor
in Transcontinental and Western Air,
one OF the major cross-country lines.
