WHOLESALE INDEX
DECLINES SHARPLY
Fertilizer Association Finds
Slump From IT'S Per
Cent to 76.8.

There was a sharp drop in the gen.
eral level Of wholesale commodity
prices in the week ended March %,
according to the index of the National
Fertilizer Association. This index de-
clined to 1853 per cent of the 1926-1928
average, compared with IT'S in the
preceding week, 1873 a month ago
and 7l2 b year ago. The index last
week was at the lowest level reached
this year
The decline in the index last week
was general. with six groups declining
and only one advancing. The largest
decline occurred in the grains, feeds
and live stock group, the result Of
lower quotations for live stock, corn
and oats. Wheat and feedstuff prices
were higher during the week.
The textile group again declined
following the sharp break during the
preceding week
The food group was slightly lower
during the latest week, mainly due to
lower egg prices.
Although steel, tin and silver prices
declined, the metals group index re-
mained unchanged, as the result Of
an advance in lead prices.
The only component group which
showed rise last week was fertilizer
materials. which rose to 653 from
65.2 in the preceding week. due to
cottonseed meal prices rising 81 per
ton.
Thirty-two commodities declined
last week and Is advanced; in the
preceding week there were 81 declines
and is advances; in the second pre-
ceding week there were 81 declines
and % advances.

est railroads failed to bring out any
tangible developments, and the decline
in carrier obligations slackened, but
a number were moderately lower, in
cluding some obligations OF more
strongly intrenched roads. Dealers
thought there was some disappoint-
ment over the delay of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in ruling on
the appeal for the higher freight rates
Communications issues were mostly
firm. and industrial loans were fairly
steady. Electric power issues were
dull. and few we're in moderate de-
mand.
Foreign government loans were ir-
regularly lower, but losses were mostly
modest. Belgian issues were not much
affected by the further slump in the
