Commodity Price
Changes for Week.
BY III. N. McGILL,
Editor, McGm Commodity Service

Editor. McGill Commodity Service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, August Is
P).-Commodity prices recorded a
more erratic trend during the past
week. The two major groups regis
tered a substantial decline, namely
industrial and agricultural prices, a
movement that was almost entirely
counteracted by a substantial gain
IN the price level of live stock. The
net result was q fractional increase
IN the composite index which success
fully raised the level of all commodi-
Ties TO new high. A review of Ia
individual groups shows that five dur
ing the week advanced, five declined
and four remained unchanged.
Industrial prices showed a marked
disposition to decline, which is in
alignment with the further contrac-
ton in industrial activity.
Farm Prices Decline.
Agriculture products lost ground as
the index averaged substantially under
the previous week. The principal price
declines were recorded in wheat, corn,
oats, rye, cotton, potatoes and fax
SEED as compared with a week ago.
The items that advanced were eggs,
hay, butter and beans.
Live stock prices moved upward
sensationally under the leadership of
hogs. The composite price of hogs
has lowered around the Sc level. the
highest price in several years. Price
changes in cattle and lambs were of
limited character.
Hides and leather prices moved
rapidly downward during the week.
Spot hides held at cents while price
weakness featured calfskins, betting;
oak and union sole feathers.
Paint materials averaged higher
Chiefly due to roSin and turpentine.
Demand for paint materials has in
creased as a result of the early func-
tioning of the national housing act.
Fine textiles averaged somewhat
lower than during the previous week
as the price decline in spot cotton
more than offset the slightly higher
price of cotton yarns and raw silk.
Vegetable Oils Rise.
Vegetable oils represent another
group that advanced quite sharply
during the week, the increase being
directly due to higher quotations for
cottonseed oil. Moderate price strength
also occurred in coconut, corn and
china wood oils.
Most important price changes In
the McGiIl Weekly Index (1926 equal
ling 100) were as follows:

NEW YORK, August 1S.-Interest
in the metal group last week con-
tinued to be centered more or less in
tin. Action of the international COM
mittee in ruling a 10 per cent reduc-
tion-to 40 per cent-in production of
all signatory countries resulted in a
further advance Of nearly l cent.
While the advance was lost partially
later, the undertone remained quite
steady. Demand generally was quiet,
but important consumers are expected
to be in the market again soon after
several months absence. Tin plate
operations, following the recent sud-
den bulge on the slaughtertng pro-
gram, dropped back to So per cent
from 65 per cent of capacity.
Anthony registered fuIther ad-
vance in price, largely because of the
strength In Chinese market. Although
zinc prices were unchanged. q steady
to firm tone prevailed. Copper re-
manned unchanged on the basis of
9 cents for Blue Eagle. Domestic
demand was slightly better with
weeks bookings expected to approx
mate 5000 tons, as against recent
weekly average Of about 1000 tons.
Lead ruled quiet and steady.

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. August ls.-Cotton
was generally lower today under con-
tinued liquidation and scattered SELL
ing. Offerings were absorbed by scale
down buying from the trade or COW
ering, but prices worked OF gradually
from 1899 to 1921 for December,
and the close was at the lowest OF
the day. The final tone Of the mar
ket was easy at net declines Of IS to
Is points.
There was some buying early on the
relatively firm showing Of Liverpool
and reports Of continued unfavorabla
weather IN the Southwest, but sell
ing pressure exceeded demand and
reactionary sentiment was strength
ened by the failure Of the continued
dry hot weather in the West to ir-
spire bullish sentiment.
October worked of to 1906 In the
late trading, while May declined to
l3.47 There appeared to be a little
more Southern selling here near the
close.
With December at 1921 at the
close, the market showed a decline Of
ABOUT 1885 bale from the highs of
the previous week.
Reports Of increased activity In the
cotton goods market late yesterday
after the opening of Government bids
on a large yardage of comforter fab

TORONTO. Ontario August lS.-
Nervous fluctuations on the Canadian
stock markets followed the latest sill
yer move in the United States, but the
markets soon steadied this week and
moved in a narrow range, with trading
dull.
Wheat prices gyrated with the vary
ing estimates of the Canadian crop
conditions and world prospects for the
cereal. 1t is an interesting fact that
Canada now Is doing a good wheat
export business with Liverpool around
a dollar a bushel. whereas there was
a definite lack of Liverpool interest
when wheat was around 80 cents.
The only industrial group to show
strength on Canadian stock markets

Minor Losses Predominant
Metals Are Steadier
Than Others.
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, August 18-Trading
was quiet on the Curb Exchange today
with many unusually active issues
failing to appear on the tape in the
dullest Saturday trading since July 16,
1882. Transfers approximated $4,000
shares against the previous low record
of 10000.
Changes were small with minor re-
cessions predominating. Aluminium
Co. of America, Newmont and A. o.
Smith yielded point each on meager
transfers. Slight declines occurred in
American Cyanamid B, Electric Bond
& Share. Sherwin Williams, Swift In
ternational and Humble Oil.
Standard Oil of Indiana, Hiram
Walker, Glen Alden Coal and Inter-
national petroleum were steadier,
while Quaker Oats advanced 2 points
on small odd lot trades, directors of
the company having declared, late yes
terday, the regular quarterly 81 divi-
dend plus 81 extra, to be paid out of
surplus.
Metals, excepting Newmont, were a
trifle steadier than other divisions.
Wright Hargreaves. Hollinger Gold
and Hudson Bay Mining all finished a
shade higher.
