Fertilizer VALUES
INCREASE SHARPLY
Rise in Manufacturing Costs
Principal Factor.
BIZ Times Special

By IGMeS Spect0t
WASHINGTON, June "A scub-
stantial increase in manufacturing
costs is the principal cause Of the
increase of fertilizer prices this
spring, according to a survey by the
National Fertilizer Association. In
common with prices of other COM
modities, fertilizer prices have adj
vanced considerably during the past
year. The survey shows that this
increase is due largely to the in
creased cost of materials, bags and
labor.
When the fertilizer code was ap-
proved, a minimum wage of 35 cents
an hour was established for fertil-
izer plants in the northern area. In
1888 the average wage had declined
to 27 cents per hour.
Operating under the code, fertil-
izer manufacturers are now paying
much higher wages than a year ago,
but fortunately the labor required
to make a ton of fertilizer is a
relatively small item Of cost.
The average cost of bags is 40 per
cent higher than last year, due
largely to the processing taxes that
have been levied on cotton and jute.
The prices of fertilizer materials
are now considerably higher than
they were a year ago. The percent
age increase in price for a few ma
terials used in fertilizer manufac-
ture are: Superphosphate, Is per
cent; ammonium sulphate, Is per
cent; tankage. 113 per cent; cyana-
mide, II per cent; hone meals, IA
per cent.
Even at present prices, fertilizer
manufacturers expect to make a
profit of about $1.O0 a ton of aver
age fertilizer and interest on in
vestment is not included in the cost
of production.

GENERAL SHOWERS AID
CROPS DURING WEEK
Light FrOsts Damage Some Plants
in Northern Section.

Light, but general showers in the
northern and central parts of the
state during the week ended Tues
day aided state crops somewhat,
but were insufficient to be of great
benefit, according to the United
States department of agriculture.
Cold weather over the weekend
was another unfavorable factor, and
damage to Strawberries, onions and
mint in the northern section re-
suited from light frosts. Corn plant
ing in the north and central por-
lions is well advanced, and crops
are well up in the central and

All planting in the southern part
of the state is practically completed,

mostly of corn and truck cultivation.

HEAVY SELLING
WAVE AT CLOSE
REDUCES GRAINS
Forced Lower After
Reaching New Highs
for Season.
BY HARTMAN w. NICHOLS
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

CHICAGO, June IA heavy SELL
ing wave moved into grains at the
close of the Board of Trade YES
terday and prices sagged below the
previous close after having been
sensationally higher all day. The
selling was blamed to stop-loss
orders.
Wheat finished Il to Il cent
lower, corn vas 1% to 2 cents off.
but oats held their strength and
were z to e cent higher.
New high levels for the season
were established in all deliveries of
grain today with a rush of buying
starting at the starting gong.
Wheat scared around 4 cents a
bushel over yesterdays finish at the
top and to the highest level since
last July, while corn was I'D ga
cents at the extreme to the highest
since August.
PrOit-Taking Heavy
The markets were broad affairs
early with Individual operations
counting for little in the early
trading but the sensational advance
which has lifted wheat 10 to 194x
cents, corn Is 13% to ID cents. and
oats 12A cents from the inside fig
ure last week encouraged heavy
proft-taking.
A recession from the highs fol-
lowed realization of the sharp adj
vance this week and selling was
further accelerated by forecasts of
rain over the Dakotas and Ne
braSka. However, the markets took
the selling in good shape and gen.
orally held above the finish of the
previous day with oats showing
stubborn resistance to pressure.
Crop Estimate BuIlish
Sensationally bullish construction
was placed on the private crop re-
ports with average estimates for
both spring and winter wheat pro-
duction of SAT 200 900 bushels, with
the exception of last years low
yield, the lowest in thirty years.
An oats crop of 789, 000, 900 BUSH
els was suggested by the reports,
the lowest since 1907.
Activity in all pits was pitched
to feveriSh heights at times with
quotations on the boards often ma
jor fractions out of line with ac-
tual sales. An extra crowd of work.
ers was called to handle the thou
sands of orders.
Provisions averaged higher with

<ened. Ordinarily this would have
brought about a slump in steel OPP
erationS. In fact, the steel compa-
MES might have been expected tc
anticipate the downturn a week OF
so in advance.
But instead of reducing their OPP
erations to conform with demand
steel makers have been maintaining
production. Last week a Slight re-
duction was reported, but the i'm
mediate upturn again this week
makes it evident that they desire
a backlog of supplies to meet de-
mandS in case of a shutdown. Inc
head of a large steel company stated
last week he would close his plants
before he would recognize the labor
unions.
IT is likely to be no easy task to
l. select the personnel of the COM
mission to carry out the provisions
of the new stock market regulation
bill if the best interests Of the coun-
try are to be eSrved. 1t would be
unfortunate if men were selected
who have less than a complete
knowledge of market operations. 1t
would be equally unfortunate if the
men selected we're not in sympathy
with the fundamental aims Of the
measure.
The stock market is too important
to be made the football of politics
It is too important to be used as
the private hunting grounds of
racketeers. What is required is a
commission fully alive to the needs
of a properly regulated market place
and one with sufficient courage and
knowledge to get the most out OF
such a market place.
THOSE who have been bemoan-
i ing the failure of the NRA and
the other alphabetic planks in the
new deal program might well take
a, second look at the report on world
trade just released by the League OF
Nations economic section. The re-
port showed that Canada and the
United States led all nations in per-
centage of recovery in industrial &C
tivity in the first three months OF
this year, compared with the CORE
spending period in 1888. The score
was 40 per cent for Canada and 80
per cent for the United States.
Canada's position has been i'm
proved, at least for the time being,
by a boom in mining stocks and in
mining operations. Activities in the
United States have been helped IN
no small way by government spend
ing. Neither country may have been
rebuilding FOR permanency, ana
both may suffer later should such
o to be the case, but the Ell
f~ectiveness of their approach to their
depression problems can hardly be
challenged.

STOCKS BREAK
3 POINTS after
FUTURES DROP
Tickers Run Almost Full
Force to Keep Pace in
Late Trading.
BY ELMER C. L
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, June 2.-Stocks
broke rather easily yesterday when
the prolonged rise in grains sud-
denly cameto a halt. Stocks went
down and losses ranged to more
than 3 points.
For a few minutes tickers al al
most full tilt, the first bit of activ-
ity in several days. j.. I. Case

buck 1875, off 2as and a new 1884
low; and a long list of others we're
down l to 4 points. Homestake
Mine sold at 365, off 10. early in the
day and was dormant thereafter.
Dealings, aside from the brief
burst of activity late in the day,
continued at a 1924 rate. Several
issues did not appear until late in
the day. American Can opened in
the fourth hour at "a, up rs, but
later declined to 921A.
New Lows Made
New lows we're made by practi-
cally all the steels, including United
States Steel SO, off 1; Steel pre-
ferred 80, off 4; Bethlehem 3O%, off
IL; Bethlehem preferred SO, off
Ia, and National 1874, off IA.
Automobile issues weakened on
the decline with General Motors
touching 80, off Ia, while Chrysler
was at 1875, off rs.
Losses of a point Or more were
noted in American Smelling, Atchi-
son, Baltimore & Ohio, New York
Central, Northern Pacific, CONNER
cial Solvents and Du Pont.
Silver shares f1rmed in the early
afternoon, but reacted later and
closed lower. Aviation issues were
fairly active at slightly lower lev
els.
Cotton futures advanced more
than $3.50 a bale and held firm.
Rubber jumped more than a half
cent a pound. Hides dropped
sharply. Copper and silk f1rmed.
Silver eased.
Cotton Up Sharply
The sharp rise in cotton was in
duced by reports congress would
pass the Smith bill to purchase
$150,000.000 cotton for relief pur-
poses. Manufacture of this cloth
would keep mills busy in the sum-
mer, and it was said a threatened

There was nothing in the news
to stir stock market interest.
