Commodity Prices
Expected to Rise

Washington, Feb. /. -(AP)-
The-man-on-the-street with . dol
lar in his pocket needn't look 1t
it any differently because Of its
revaluation at 59.06 per cent Of
a former gold equivalent: the ef-
feet should be looked for else
where.
President Roosevelt hopes the
devaluation will be shown first in
the list Of commodity prices.
That is, that the same dollar
wouldn't buy quite Is much q it
did before; the theory being that
higher gold prices mean higher
commodity prices.
Meanwhile, if the man-on-the-
street would feel better by hav-
ing his dollar changed into pen
MES he still would get 100 Of the
coppers. Or If the weight bothers
him the dollar is still worth 10
dimes.

BISMARCK ENJOYS
WARMEST JANUARY
IN MANY SEASONS
Roberts Refutes "Believe II or
Not" Ripley,s Statement :
on Local Weather

Regardless Of broadcasts by Believe
It or Not Ripley and erroneous infor-
nation derogatory to North Dakota
weather, the winter Of 1933-34 has so
far been one of the most pleasant on
record since the Bismarck federal
weather station was established in the
fall Of 1874 according to Orris w.
Roberts, veteran federal meteorolo-
gist here.
January, 1894, has had an average
temperature Of 1913 degrees. to make it
one Of the five mildest Januaries the
Slope territory has known since offic-
ial recordings have been made In the
state. The highest January average
recorded at Bismarck was in 1881, with
24.6 degrees; the next In 1919 with
IA; January, 1891, had an average of
23.8 degrees, and In 1903 the month
was registered with q 2l.4 average.
The highest temperature reached
during the month just passed was -
degrees on Tuesday Of this week: and
the lowest was II below on New Years
Day. Roberts calls Ripley's attention
to that fact. The greatest daily range
OF temperature difference between the
highest and lowest readings Of any
day. was SO degrees on Jan. as; the
least was 7 degrees on Jan. I.
Roberts announced the total pre-
cipitation for the month at .O8 Of an
inch. or 81 below the normal. one Of
the lowest Of record. One-half Of this
amount occurred as rain. Rain fell
on four days during the 30-day period.
Winds during the month had an
average hourly velocity Of 80 m.p.h.
There was more than the usual cloud
mess, Roberts stated, with clear days
numbering seven. partly cloudy Is. and
cloudy days 9.

New York, Feb. l.-tP)-Uncle Sans
new-and cheaper-dollar made its de-
but Thursday amid boisterous ap-
plause from the stock market.
Shares swept 81 to more than a
higher under successive waves Of buy
ing which embraced all the major
groups, putting the industrial average
at the highest point since September,
1881. Rails and utilities rallied, too,
while some Of the largest gains occur
red In metal stocks.
High confusion ruled In the foreign
exchange market. Dollars, opening
fairly steady against the leading cur
rencies Of Europe, soon began an adj
vance which was contrary to what
mig.4t have been expected.
Exchange dealers attributed dollar
strength partly to European demand
for American securities. It was point
ed out that imports Of gold would tend
to hold down the dollars premium,
which at Thursdays rates would have
made foreign gold buying by New
York banks highly profitable.
The presidents announcement, made
an hour after New York markets had
closed Wednesday, caught Wall Street
q bit off balance. Stocks had declined
under heavy profit-taking. But the
decision to reduce the dollars gold
value to 5000 per cent Of former parity
made the unit slightly cheaper than
Wall Street had anticipated, and huge
buying orders poured into commission
houses over night.
The opening recalled some of last
summers busiest days, for 1t took
blocks of 1000 to 10000 shares to
handle the accumulated transactions.
Traders scrambled to take profits and
stocks lost about half their opening
rise. Then they came back strongly,
surging above the early tops.
BY early afternoon quotations for
leaders were: U. 8. Steel
s57.37. up SIPS; Westinghouse SIS, up
$1.75; American Tobacco b" $79.75,
up So; General Motors $40.75, up SIPS;
American Telephone $l20.75, up SITS;
American Can $l01.50: up $3.50.
Homestake mining, climbed 50 at
the opening and then added dollar,
which made the quotation $500 share.
