ADDITIONAL PEAKS
Farm Products Still Soar,
While Other Prices Are
Relatively Steady.

BY FREDERICK GARDNER.

Associated eIeSS f1Ed nCldl WrlLeT.
Commodity price averages have been
making new highs on two-year up
swing as the second year of the New
Deal draws to close.
Heralding shift in policies toward
imitation, commodity prices began to
firm in the latter part Of February,
1888, in the midst of the banking crisis
and on the threshold of the New
Deals advent to power.
The full force of the rise was not
felt until after the dollar. in April
of the same year, was unhitched from
its gold peg and allowed to shift more
or less for itself in foreign exchange
markets along with the British pound
and other floating currencies.'
In the interval, however, the char
acter of price movements has changed
markedly.
The eve of the third year of the
New Deal sees few farm products
rising sharply. in contrast with COM
parative steadiness in other parts Of
the domestic price structure.
Moreover, the dollar, anchored to
what officials call a new model gold
Standard now rides the exchange
waves in comparative stability against
leading gold currencies, while Eng
lands pound has pointed sharply
downward.
Although no repercussions are aud
ible in the Capital yet, the current
drop of sterling is causing uneasiness
in orthodox monetary quarters, which
fear it may lead to renewed agitation
for managed dollar" and further
revaluation.
Inf1ationistS and monetary theorists
of various schools have been waiting
out the current legislative impaSse to
resume their campaign for higher
prices. through one means or another.
The pending omnibus" banking
bill, in the opinion of some observers,
promises to be focal point for the
recurrent monetary battle.
Supporters Of dollar retaliation
credit the raising of the domestic gold
price, as expressed in depreciation of
the currency. for the first swift ad-
vance which followed the shift in mon
etary policies after the Roosevelt ad-
ministration took Office two years ago.
But the latest wave of price ap-
probation dates from the drought last
Summer and its attendant shortage
of crops.

BANK NOTE PLAN

Treasury Decides to Place
Circulation System on
Former Basis.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
National banks were notified by the
Treasury today that the privilege of
securing national bank note issues by
any United States bonds paying 3as
per cent interest or less. would expire
on July %.
The effect of the decision was to
return national banks to the old basis
of their bank note collateral-narnely
bonds which bear the circulation
privilege. These include $500 900 600
in per cent consols of 1880. $40
100000 in per cent Panamas of
1916-1936 and S26,0O0,0O0 in per
cent Panama's of 19l8-l938
The enlarged security base for ma
tional bank notes was voted by Con-
gress on July %. 1882. for a three
year period Fathered by Senator
Borah Republican, Idaho, the plan
of permitting the use as bank note
collateral of any Federal bond paying
3as per cent interest or less was
designed to expland the currency In
actual practice, treasury figures
showed that not more than $780,
000. 900 in national bank notes were
issued on the enlarged base. while at
present only about $140,000,000 are
outstanding
Bonds bearing the circulation privi-
lege are deposited by national banks
with the treasurer of the United
States. The banks then issue their
own currency.

a small portion of money in every

Reports that an international cop

cents a pound under the domestic

Zinc advanced So per ton on re-

Tin was quiet. with irregular price
fluctuations in sympathy with Lon

BUILDING STAGES
Squirt IN JANUARY
Gain Over December Amounts to

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 2-Building &C
tivity in January staged one of those
spurts which have featured the de-
preston from time to time, accord
ing to the Business Conditions Weekly
of the Alexander Hamilton Institute
The gain over the December volume
amounted to 24.1 per cent, which was
in contrast to the usual average sea-
sonal decline of 1873 per cent. Both
residential and non-residential con-
tracts contributed to the expansion in
January.
There is nothing to indicate, how
ever, that this expansion was the be-
ginning of a building revival. With
little prospect of an early reduction
in building costs and with general
purchasing power curtailed. 1885
promises to be another year of depres-
sion for the building industry.

Loss of Cotton Trade abroad
Is Declared Serious Threat

While crop control has admittedly
increased the cash income of cotton
growers and caused a revival of pros
perity in some sections of the South,
the organ of the New York Trust Co.
declares that the drastic decline in
exports may have far-reaching effects.
Permanent curtailment of produc-
ton, it is pointed out. would spread
unemployment not only in the South,
but in all industry, and would cut
heavily into national income.
THE importance of maintaining our
foreign trade in cotton, not only in so
far as it affects the cotton grower and
the industries In the South directly
dependent upon cotton growing, but as
it affects the entire national economy"
the Index concludes, renders the
problem one Of utmost Importance.

Steel Production Goes Down
but Demand Remains
at High Level.
AVERAGE DAILY OUTPUT
OF COTTON CLOTH RISES
February Dividend Payments
Total $214,947,0o0, Against
$214,412,00O Year Ago.
BY RAIDER WINGET,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


National business stumbled last
week into the final lap of the new
years first quarter.
Some of the weeks statistical evil
dence appeared to retard advances
like ashes on ice, but long-term views
of analysts were fixed on bright OBJ
jective for the new month.
Steel was notable. Production fell
to 47.9 per cent of capacity from 49.l
per cent the previous week. but de-
mand continued at a high level with
steel makers expecting satisfactory
orders for the second quarter to de-
velop promptly.
Automobile output continued the
one major factor to which common
tators could point with pride. Grams
estimate on production for last week
was 80 ,899 units, against 1854 the
previous week and 71,510 for a year
ago.
Statistical Picture Foggy.
But there again the statistical pic
ture was a little foggy. Production
was given by Cram as $4,000 in Feb
ruary, highest for that month since
1880. The 1885 rate of manufacture
has been ahead of 1894 in point of
time, and slowing down in the rate
now is contrasted with last years late
start.
Electric power production was IA
vorable, with the week of February %
showing small actual decline against
greater expected fall. The total
was per cent over year ago.
Carloadings remained practically
unchanged for the week of February
%, from seasonal standpoint. Ac-
tual shipments were S per cent under
the previous week and 3.8 per cent
under the same period a year ago.
The holiday accounted for the decline
from the previous week.
Lumber production continued ahead
Of last year, with shipments and Or
ders above output.
Cotton cloth production. to which
some analysts give considerable weight
in the general business picture, was
up on daily average basis, what with
the holiday during the week of Feb
ruary %.
Financial centers were satisfied
with February dividend payments,
which totaled $214,947, 900 for 629
corporations, against S214,412, 900 for
579 corporations in February of 1884.
Adverse Decisions Cited.
Some conservative bankers, always
slow to go on record, last week ven
tured that the Supreme Court gold
decision gave reinsurance to general
business, but there were decisions ad-
verse to the Government by Federal
judges on wages and working condi-
lions under the National Recovery
Administration and on the Tennessee
Valley Authority that caused Joy for
some and gloom for others.
Wage earners received with no
acclaim the forecast by Secretary
Wallace that food prices during the
first half of 1885 would be II per cent
higher than the last half of 1884.
StatiSticians and orators busted
themselves with attempting to prove
prosperity or bankruptcy for the Ma
ton depended on whether the Federal
Government paid work relief wages
equal to or below the prevailing wage.
Each side declared its evidence was
conclusive.

creases of 1901 per cent and 7,94 per
cent in respective 'Dow-Jones averages
for rail stocks and utility stocks.
Price Improvements in different cit
les were markedly irregular with
Pittsburgh's IL issues showing the
leading average gain of 9.8 per cent
and New York's 100 issues with
per cent gain. Similar irregularity in
price increases for different types of
properties, we attribute in large part
to investors exercising greater dis
elimination in the issues selected for
investment. The 81 apartment hotel
issues advanced II per cent, nearly
double the average; so housekeeping
apartments So per cent, and 81 hotels
Sc per cent.
Average market values Of the entire

no tendency away from the steady up
ward trend in prices that prevailed
