Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY H. N. McGILL,
Mcoill Commodity Service. Inc.

A1CGlu COMMONLY SERVICE. 1ucs
AUBURNDALIE, Mass. February II
R.-Commodity prices continued un-
abated during the week just closed.
The upswing was not as pronounced
as in recent weeks, but successfully
carried the index for all groups to .
new high. the present position stand
ing 43 per cent over the extreme low.
A review Of individual groups shows
no radical price changes, with the
majority recording fractiona6 gains.
Out Of IA individual groups, 10 ruled
higher, only declined, while re-
manned unchanged.
Industrial prices held steady, al
though the index was fractionally
higher than the previous week. IN
dustrial activity based on preliminary
figures gained slightly during the
week, but the general rate Of rivival
is limited, compared with the sensa-
tional gain during the second quarter
OF last year.
Farm Prices Also Up.
Agricultural prices registered the
same proportionate gains as indus
trial products, which means . very
slight upswtng compared with the up
ward momentum Of recent weeks.
The agricultural group, rejecting the
efforts Of the administration to re-
store farm purchasing power, now
stands 81 per cent over the low point.
The decline In practically all Of the
gains was more than offset by the
2-point increase In the price Of re-
fined sugar, as well as further ad-
vances in hay.
Live stock prices also gained during
the week, the high level being due to
higher quotations for hogs, sheep and
lambs.
Building materials, chemicals and
fuels represent the three groups which
remained steady with no change IN
the index taking place.
Hides and leather successfully ad.
vanced under the pressure Of higher
quotations for betting and sole
leather.
In the non-ferrous metals the price
decline In antimony was more than
counteracted by advances in quick
silver. silver, tin and zinc, which, es-
tablished this group on higher
plane.
Fine textiles moved upward. SPOT
cotton has experienced some difficulty
in advancing, but finished goods
print cloths, sheetings-as well as
yarns moved higher, while the under.
lying trend Of silk prices advanced.
Coarse Textiles Gain.
Coarse textiles were also higher,
which may be attributable to higher
quotations for burlap and tute.
Vegetable oils recorded the most
substantial gain Of any group. In
addition to higher quotations for lin
seed OIL cottonseed advanced as wen
as corn and soya bean oils.
Most important price changes in
the McGill weekly price index (1s26
eQualing lO0) were as follows.

SCHULTER, Okla, June 8.-After

Public officials, especially legisla-

to relieve a situation under which

This restriction on compensation

Many Fascinating Things

LONDON-We arrived in Lon.
don Monday, June 18, and have
been having great time.
I got up early Monday morn
Mg-as we landed at Cher.
bourg at land I wanted to
get my first glimpse of France.
A brilliant sunshiny morning
and the country couldn't have
looked lovelier, and land looked
good to me!
I understand so well why
Lafayette named our little Vir-
ginia village "PariS-because
the country around it looked so
like France" for 1t certainly
does. When we pulled up to
the New Dock" and saw all
the French people running up
and down wanted to get right
off then and go to Paris as a
great many Of our friends were
doing-and I wanted to ride in
the little trains waiting there
for the passengers, but I will
have to wait for that pleasure
until a little later.
The Bremen arrived at South
@mpton at 1880 and we all
crowded on the small boat COR
tender believe is correct) and
It was certainly crowded-for
most Of our celebrities got off
there.
/ enjoyed being crowded in
close to Dorothy Wieck, the
movie actress, and Fanny Ward
MrS. John DEAN, the eternal
3lapper, the Prince of Siam and
many others were also with us.
The London papers have been
full Of them and their pictures
have been in all the papers
every day-but never a word
about our Times correspondent!
They don't know about me yet!
A car met US at Southampton
and We were glad to get off for
London as it was just about the
hottest day I have ever felt.
England is burning up with a
drought-they haven't had any
rain for months and months
and the fields are parched and
brown-but that doesn't keep
the country from being beau
tiful.
I am sure that every Ameri-
can seeing England for the first
time is thrilled. How could
they help it? The country is
SO beautiful, the fields, the
large trees, the bushes of shrub
berry, the hedges of rhododen-
dron high above your head all
. mass Of bloom, the cottages
90 well kept with the bright
flowers Of every color in front
-thatched roofs and brick
walls-I could go on for hours
over these last tWo-every time
I see a brick wall or an old
board fence I want to draw it
50 I won't forget how to build
one like it when I get home.
London is just as 1 knew it
would be. Whatever books I
read about all the places I have
seen certainly described them
well, for they are just as
thought.
Westminster Abbey and the
