n YEW YORK, February 10
I'M Long remarked for its ability
" to blow alternately hot" and
\ cold" Wall Street today ap-
peared to have recovered
from its first spasm of "iitters" over
the prospect for regulation. The
measure introduced by Senator
Fletcher was more drastic than any,
thing which had been anticipated
But financial community seemed re-
ieved with the actual news out. Pas
sage of the legislation without extern
sive modification will perhaps ulti-
mately reflect in trade activity, but
the financial district is confident that
business and earnings will continue to
be the fundamental factors in shaping
the course of the market.
One thing was apparent as the
morning progressed and stocks dis
closed signs of steady absorption. Such
demand as appeared at levels slightly
under previous closings in most issues
gave indication of originating in cir
cles which were not unduly disturbed
by the latest developments.
Aviation stocks were in deep water
in consequence of the move late yes
terday by President Roosevelt cancel
ing II standing airmail contracts. AS
a group, those shares had been sag
ging steadily of late. but the market
apparently had not. in spite of persis-
tent nature of gossip from Washing
ton, anticipated this drastic action.
AS the outstanding corporation in
the field. and holder of the spotlight
marketwise in that group of stocks,
United Aircraft was the focus of in
terest today. With $4,000 shares re-
ported offered at the market as trad
ing began. considerable difficulty was
experienced in arranging an opening
in that issue. 1t was not until about
l1:O9 that this was finally accom-
pliShed. 18,4O0 shares of the stock
changing hands at 254 compared
with closing of 291s last night, and
with final price of ASA in San
Francisco yesterday.

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

AUBURNDAI.E, Mass, February 10
|(R.-Commodity prices during the
week again forged upward, recording
the seventh consecutive advance.
Strength was even more pronounced
than in recent weeks, as the index
for all commodities recovered nearly
whole point. The price level now
stands AZ per cent above the low
reached in February, last year. The
upward trend was not due to any par
ticular group but was general, well
illustrated by noting that out of IA
individual commodity units, nine
groups advanced, only two declined,
while three remained unchanged.
Industrial prices moved upward
under the leadership of hides and
materials and textiles. Preliminary
figures for the month show an upward
trend in industrial activity, although
the movement is gaining momentum
slowly. The industrial group now
rests 46 per cent over the extreme
low.
Farm Prices Higher.
Agricultural prices gained ground,
bringing the index up to 81 per cent
over the low point of 1888 The items
that averaged higher during the week
were rye, cotton, potatoes and butter.
Live stock quotations registered the
most substantial recovery of any of
the IA groups. Cattle and sheep ad-
vanced moderately, while the hog
market moved rapidly upward making
gain of rs cents over the previous
week
Building materials represent one of
the two groups that declined. The
fractional reaction was due to lower
average price for lumber, which has
moved upward since early 1888 at an
unusually rapid pace and the COM
posite price of southern pine, all di-
mensions, stands 1875 per cent over a
year ago.
Non-ferrous metals averaged higher,
rejecting an advance in quicksilver,
silver, tin and zinc.
Fine Textiles Rise.
Fine textiles moved upward sub
stantially. The higher index figure
was due entirely to strength in cot
ton, cotton yarns. and finished goods.
The spot price of raw cotton at the
end of the week was close to the l21s-
cent level.
Vegetable oils increased during the
week as the declines in coconut, lin
seed and palm oils were more than
counteracted by the advance in cot
tonSeed OIL
Most important price changes in
the McGill weekly price index Q926
equaling 1000 were as follows:

dustry accounted largely for increas-

equipment buying also aided, although
orders for heavier products have not

discussed fiction and fiction devotees

"middlebrow" and "lowbrow." D. II.
