resented the Massachusetts, Life Insur-
ance Co. in Washington for more than

in life insurance and annuitieS on the
lives of local business men during the

Mr.. Freudberg and his associates be-
lieve that this production record

call for an outlay varying from S10O
to $4,000 during the year by policy
holders. this fact being significant in
showing renewed confidence in the
future business outlook in this city.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week.
BY II. N. McGILL,

Editor, McGill Commodity Service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, November 3
R.-Commodity prices during the
first week of November recorded a
slight decline, establishing the COM
posite figure at the lowest point since
early August. More declines were
recorded than advances and out of IA
individual groups only three averaged
higher. while six declined and five
were comparable with the level a
week ago.
Industrial prices represent one ma
jor group that continued the down
trend which started in late July. The
decline was largely due to price weak
ness in non-ferrouS metals, paint ma
terials and vegetable oils Statistics
show a slight gain in industrial ac-
tivity with the durable goods in
dustries as characterized by steel
operating in early November above
25 per cent OF capacity.
Farm Prices Higher.
Agricultural prices ruled slightly
higher. although the price trend OF
individual products was mixed. Dur
ing the week lower quotations were
recorded for wheat, oats, cotton. beans
and fiaXseed, which was more than
counteracted by strength in corn, rye
eggs and butter
Live stock prices moved counter to
the increase in agricultural products
August The decline was entirely due
to weakness in cattle, as hogs, lambs
and sheep held steady.
Building materials averaged higher
under the impetus of lumber. The
concentration on home remoderniZa =
ton and reconstruction program that
will benefit the low wage Garner. has
created more optimism in the building
material fields.
Hides and leather prices averaged
higher as strength in hides more
than Offset the moderate weakness in
certain finished feathers.
Non-ferrous metals recorded more
price weakness than any other group
During the week antimony was quoted
higher but four items. namely. alumni
mum. silver, tin and zinc, averaged
lower.
Paint Materials Down.
Paint materials declined, rejecting
another price break in linseed oil.
Fine textiles also moved downward

NEW YORK. November 3.-Unless
trading expands materially in the

contraction of brokerage facilities is
expected here. The November l
figures of the New York Stock Ex-
change shows its member firms on
that date had 1,106 branch Offices. a
decrease of 109 since the first of the
year.
Most OF the closings of out-of-town
offices and mergers have taken place
in recent months, for the first four
months of the year were relatively
prosperous for commission houses.
Branch facilities still are as large
as they were early in 1928. when
four and five million share days were
becoming frequent as the bull market
scaled the heights with an ever
increasing public following.
At the end of 1929 Stock Exchange
firms had 1858 branches and the
exchange membership had been in
creased to 1875 from 1,l00. The seat
