THE NEW DEAL
 IN WASHINGTON
If Congress Goes COckeyed, Blame Capitals Weather =. Alice Springs Choice One .. Huey's a Sure Seller for the Newsies.
By RODNEY BUTCHER
(The Democrat Washington Cor
 respondent)

1.-The Democrat Washington Cor.
 respOndent)
 Washington, March 14.-Blue skies for breaisfast, bright sunshine for lunch, and blizzards for dir- ner-
 Spring fever Monday, frostbits Tuesday, wet feet Wednesday,
 What can you expect from g. capitaI with weather like that? Possibly every other town in the country is having similar experl- ence and similar reactions. But Washingtonians insist their local brand is unique.
 No scientific study has ever been made of the effect of these cock eyed climatic zigzags and reversals on the decisions and actions of those who govern our natino. It probably is an enormous one.
 Of course everybody knows that early summer heat here always speeds adjournment of congress whereafter all Washingtons' wom- end and children are packed off to mountains and beaches just as if the descending heat waves were so many murderous Indians and the official community goes misan- thropic and is prone to resort to the bottle.
 But these hot-and-c0ld springs keep all hands confused. If the weather man can't make mp his mind, why squawk If a president and Congress can't? Many folks are sent to bed with colds when they should be up and saving the country, simply because they were caught down. town in a snOwstorm without OvercOatS.
 And weather talk is far more wasteful. Instead of a mere "Nice day, huh?" you have to spend about five minutes expressing your- self.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week.
BY III. ". McGILL.

Editor, McGlll Commodity Service, Inc,
AuDurndale, Mass.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, January 10
R.-Commodity prices after record
ing seven consecutive weekly advances.
turned sharply downward during the
third week of January. The reaction
was primarily due to the speculative
group which was forcefully affected
by the uncertainty surrounding the
forthcoming Supreme Court decision
on the gold clause. An adverse deci-
sion would create a temporary period
OF confusion, while nothing will be
changed in the economic status if the
present policy is upheld. Price weak
ness was comparatively general during
the week, as out of IA individual
groups, 6 registered lower averages. 4
ruled higher and 4 remained un-
changed.
Industrial prices declined fraction
ally, which interrupted the upward
price trend in effect since late No
vemb2r. Preliminary figures show
that the volume of business has held
on a favorable plane, showing little
disposition to register a downward
trend.
Farm Prices React.
Agricultural prices - the second
major group-lost considerable ground
during the week under the leadership
of the grains. Compared with a week
ago, wheat. corn, oats, barley, rye,
faxseed, cotton. eggs, beans and but
ter were lower in price. The only ad-
vance was fractional upturn in po-
tato quotations.
Live stock, representing the third
major group, also moved downward
during the week. Although prices for
lambs increased there was a scent
decline in the average price of cattle
and 20-cent drop in the average
price of hogs.
Building materials recorded the
fourth consecutive weekly decline.
Another price drop was noted in Hud-
son River Brick. while a fractional re-
action occurred in lime.
Non ferrous metals ruled slightly
higher. The only price changes that
occurred during the week were mod
crate weakness in silver and tin.
Paint materials represent one of
the four groups to average higher un-
der the impetus Of price strength in
roSin and turpentine
Fine textiles moved downward as
moderate price strength in silk was
more than counteracted by lower quo
tations for cotton and worsted yarns.
Vegetable Oils Soar.
Vegetable oils scared upward to q
new high. The move was general as
coconut, corn, cottonseed, china
wood, olive. palm and soya bean oils
participated in the price upswing to
new peak.
Most important changes in the Nc

NEW YORK, January 19-Mod-
crate reactions from an opening ad-
vance in cotton were followed by re-
newed firmness today on continued
trade buying and covering. May con-
tracts after selling off from 1852 to
1245 closed at 1881 or within a point
Of the best for the session with the
general market closing very steady at
net advance of 2 to 6 points.
March sold up to 1916 and July
to 1882 on the opening demand which
included some buying here through
houses with foreign connections as
! well as covering and moderate de-
mand from the trade
The buying tapered off after the
initial orders had been filled, ard
prices eased under some Southern
selling and scattering liquidation.
Otherwise no aggressive selling de-
veloped and the market later rallied
back to approximately the opening
prices on covering and a renewal of
trade demand.
The amount Of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end of the
week was estimated at $4,000 bales,
against $4,000 last year.

City Glad to Send Trucks to Pick Up Debriis-But
 Use Discretion

Clean Up, Paint Up, Fix Up certainly! But don't take advantage of the already overworked city dump trucks. VI g aa
 That was the plea from City Hall today as housewives and mer- chants continued their drive to make the l935 chapter of Cleanup Week the one most productive of results in the history of the city.
 Two dump trucks are making regular rounds of the city for the purpose of picking up debris &C., cumulated as Clean Up workers strive to beautify the city. And, if truck has overlooked any particu- lar portion of the city, telephone call to "88' will bring one soon, it was said.
 However, a City Hall spokesman said, don't ask the dumpmen to cart away tree stumps or accumula- tons from a biennial cleanup of an attic Beth of these schemes have been tried, but the city trucks just can't get around to everyone if indiscriminate piling of debris is continued.

 A second reason for the belief that the legitimate stage is due for increased interest next fall is the report brought from Ketchikan this week by Miss Ruth Coffin, Ju- neau Drama Club member and High School music instructor. Miss Golf fin accompanied local students to the First City for a music festival last week

 Outlook Good
 When the final curtain had been rung down on the last performance of the Juneau Drama Clubs com edy Loose Ankles, it was signal for contemplation of just what, in cold facts and figures, is the outlook for the legitimate stage in Juneau.
