 STARTED WELL
International Commodities Felt the Effects of It
 Right Off
By RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY limited ProSS Staff (,OrreSnOndent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Feb. 2-(UP)-Ad- .ministration officials today believed President Roosevelt's bold mone- tary policy already has shown signs of success in enabling the United States to raise world prices of vari- ous vital commodities. Officials claimed an American victory in the first skirmish in international Nfi- nancial markets following Mir. Roosevelt's devaluation of the dol- lar.
 Cotton and rubber were up yes- terday. Rising prices for these in- ternational staples are expected to attract others to the upward move ment, thus promoting world recov- cry.
 The victory claims in the inter- national market was based on q rise yesterday in the London, or world price, of gold. London raised it's price to within less than $1 of the $35 per ounce bid by Secre- tary of Treasury Mongenthau.
 By forcing the world price up- ward, the United States hopes to promote a corresponding increase in commodity prices. The $35 American bid is designed to protect the American price raising pro- gram against international bear movements.
 Secretary Morgenthau was des- cribed in responsible circles as satisfied" with the movement of the world market.
 It was said that the $2,000.000,- 900 stabilization fund set up by the federal government, with a part of the dollar devaluation profits, would Ego slowly" in it's international dealings until the present effects of the $35 an ounce gold buying of the government could be gauged.
 / Officials insisted that operations of the stabilization fund would be closely guarded in order that for eign exchange spectators and for eign governments would not be tipped off as to financial opera tions being undertaken by the United States to "peg" the dollar for the time being at 59.06 per cent of it's previous gold value.
 It was emphasized that while the monetary program is being carried out there was no extent to injure the economy of other nations. It was poined out that if the Ameri- can policy succeeds in improving the world commodity price levels
