Commodity prices during the final

agricultural group in that wheat,
barley, eggs, f1axSeed and butter ay-
eraged lower. while corn. oats. rye
cotton and sugar ruled higher. The
advances, however. were more pro-

Live stock prices, following the SEN

a much slackened pace. Cattle and
hogs held practically stable at their
new high levels. but lamb prices
showed definite disposition to in

Paint materials represent one of the

was due TO a price reduction in shellac.
