able actions of holders of carrier equities
The Bangor &. Aroostook increase in its
dividend rate to a $3.50 annual basis
today was In line with expectations in
view Of the recovery in its earning
capacity which marked 1898. 1t fol-
lowed an earlier declaration of another
50-cent dividend by the Pennsylvania,
which in turn was preceded by the Nor
folk & Western extra Of 50 share.
For the first time in several weeks,
the steel shares were a bit neglected
through the closing half session. Re-
Gently the group had been the center
OF lively buying operations during the
brief Saturday trading period. Specu-
lation had been based largely on the
prospect for favorable reports from pro-
ducing centers over the week end. Last
week. however, things did not shape up
as expected and the tendency today
was apparently to go slowly in seeking
to discount the news. Yet reports from
youngstown indicated increasing de-
mand from motor builders would neces-
state quickening Of production, with
youngstown Sheet & Tube and Repub-
lie both netting substantially higher
schedules.
Neither Radio common In the last
stages Of the 1929 boom, nor Mexican

haved with any greater degree of the
spectacular than surrounds Wright

q 17-point gain yesterday to close at

Quiet buying of Studebaker and affi-
lated issues, such as White Motors and
the Studebaker 6 per cent notes has
given rise to recurrent reports that q
move to LIT the company out Of receiv-
ership Is impending. Such rumors,
however, Judging by replies to inquiry
made IN interested sources both locally
and at South Bend, do not appear to
have any foundation In fact. Rather
1t would seem that accumulation is
based on improvement In the operating
position OF the company which, If con-
tinued, will Of itself pave the way for

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

McGH Commodity Service. Inc
AUBURNDALE, Mass, January 81
R.-Commodity prices during the past
week again averaged higher, represent
ing the fifth consecutive increase. The
upSwing has lost momentum during the
past two weeks and the movement was
extremely limited, standing fractionally
over the level of week ago. That
activity in commodity markets was
much less pronounced, is well illustrated
by noting the number of price changes
during the week. Out of IA individual
groups. seven remained stationary,
three averaged higher and four lower.
Industrial prices recorded no change.
An increase in the price level of build
ing materials counteracted a moderate
decline in hides and leather, non-fer-
rous metals and paint materials.
Agricultural prices featured exactly
the same condition as the industrial
group, the index number being identi-
cal with the previous week. During
the last week corn, wheat. oats, cot
ton and butter averaged lower-a de-
cline that was fully counteracted by
moderate price strength in rye. eggs,
flaxseed and potatoes.
Live Stock Higher.
Live stock prices ruled higher, due
to an increase in the average price of
cattle. hogs and lambs. Outside Of
chemicals. live stock prices showed the
smallest proportionate gain over year
ago Of any of the other IA groups.
Building materials climbed upward,
again rejecting a further price revision
upward In the average price of lumber.
Non-ferrouS metals recorded but little
change. The index was slightly lower,
as during the week antimony, silver,
tin and zinc declined.
Fine textiles made no headway as
price strength earlier In the week was
wiped out by the reactionary trend
during the closing days of the week.
Wool and rayon prices held steady
and silk fluctuations were held within
an unusually narrow range.
Coarse textiles were slightly lower as
the price declined in burlap more than
offset the advance in hemp.
Vegetable Oils Rise.
Vegetable oils represented one Of the
three groups that successfully advanced,
but here again the movement was ex-
tremely small.
The advance In corn oil exceeded
by fractional nature the decline In
China wood oil.
Most important changes in the Nc
Gill weekly price index (1926 equalling
1Q0) were as follows:

It was Detroit's first victory Of the
