Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY III. N. McGIIL,

Editor McGill Commodity Service. Inc.
Auburndale, Mass
AUBURNDALE, Mass, September
80 (Py.-Commodity prices during the
final week in Septem Der again
bounded upward, continuing the rapid
price upswlng, which started last July.
The latest index figure Q926 equaling
1000, is ISL, which compared with 6S.3
on the same date last year, or an in
crease during the past IL rr onths OF 10
per cent. Industrial activity gained
substantial headway toward higher
levels during the month Of September
and the latest estimate Is 185 per
cent below normal as compared with
Is per cent last June. The significant
feature of price changes Is that the
revival is general and not limited to
a few groups. A week ago seven
groups advanced and only two de-
clined, while five remained unchanged.
During the past week rine groups
reached higher levels, only one de-
clined while four remained un-
changed
Industrial prices moved moderately
upward yet the level was not compar-
able with prices that prevailed year
ago.
Farm Prices Advance.
Agricultural prices reached the
highest point since last May. 1t Is OF
interest to note, however, that during
the week there were more declines
than advances, but the decree Of price
strength in wool, sugar. flaxseed and
butter more than counterscted the re-
action in wheat, corn, cats, barley,
cotton, eggs and potatoes.
Live stock prices were stronger, re-
f1ecting price strength in hogs, sheep
and lambs. The price average for
cattle was slightly lower.
Fuels represent the only group that
registered weakness. The decline was
of limited character and was caused
by a price revision downward in coke.
Paint materials registered sizeable
gain under the leadership of higher
quotations for linseed oil. litharge and
rosin. Lower quotations we're recorded
for shellac and turpentine.
Fine textiles successfully moved up
ward and price strength in wool and
silk more than counterac.ed the price
decline in spot cotton.
Coarse textiles also moved upward,
caused by higher price levels for bur-
lap, hemp. jute and sisai.
Vegetable Oils Soar.
Vegetable oils recorded the sharpest
gain of any group. This was largely
due to China wood oil, which reached
a new peak of 81 cents as compared
with IA cents in July of his year and
e1s cents year ago. -Four other oils.
namely, linseed. cottonseed, cocoanut
and corn, also averaged higher in
price.
Most important price changes in the

Auto Production
Climbs to 1894
Mark After Lull
Special Dispatch to The Star.

DETROIT, Mich, September 30
Following a long period of weekly
declines in passenger car and truck
production in the United States and
Canada, the total output last week
took an upward turn, which will grad
ually be accelerated for several months.
The number Of units produced last
week totaled 1894, compared with
12,6o0 the preceding week, the lowest
point Of 1895, according to Grams
Reports, Inc.
A year ago last week production
was 37,234.
Reason for the current increase and
probable continuance of weekly
gains during the next few months is
based upon the fact that several
plants reopened and started the manu-
facture of 1886 models, which will be
exhibited at the national automobile
shows in November.

She said she had no proof that blanks were issued but was acting on the basis of reports which had come to her attention. Superintendent of Schools Thomas J.. Condon said that the practice had been followed for many years.
 Boards Approval
 The discussion followed the an- nual introduction of the graduation lists of the various schools for the boards approval when the question was raised of whether such ap- proval could be given under the circumstances.

Seek Vainly for Chance

Hardly 8 day passes in Holly wood that some director, writer. or producer is not accosted at a studio gate by mother with a pros- pective baby star in tow.
 The scene then includes a side walk performance of ability on the part of the child, and some fast talking on the part of the parent, but the end comes abruptly when the director or producer explains that "extra" children are employ ed only through central casting bureau.
 Meanwhile, mothers and children can be seen waiting in studio re- ception halls at all hours of the day. Some mothers come to seek interviews and others just sit and wait in the hope that director or producer will see a second Jackie Cooper or Shirley Temple in their little boy or girl.
 But the openings are tragically few. The casting bureau revises its index infrequently during the year, then only to add possibly a half dozen names as replacements, usually taken from near the top of a waiting list which always num-
 bers several hundreds.
