Shifting of Funds
To Chicago From
New York Studied
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 22.-New York
bankers are puzzled by the shrinkage
Of time deposits of Federal Reserve
member banks in New York and the
expansion of time deposits Ia Chi
cago. .r
In most circles it is said that it Is
far more simple to describe the shift
ing of funds from New York to Chi
cago than it Is to explain it.
Bankers point out that since the end
Of April there has been decline Of
more than $1Oo,00o,00O in member
bank time deposits. OF this drop
about $70,000,000 has occurred in New
York City banks.
While time deposits in New York
have been dropping, this item In
Chicago has been soaring to record
high on June IL Of $500, 000, 900, a TO-
tai more than $30,OO0,O0O above that
disclosed as of April "a.
One explanation advanced in some
quarters is that some large corpora
tons may possibly have shifted their
funds from New York to Chicago in
order to have them closer to operat-
ing headquarters.

Review Outlines
Further Advance
In Export Trade
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Further
gains In export trade have been
achieved this year by a number of
important American industries, Dun &
Bradstreet reported.
In summary based on reports from
various industrial quarters the agency
named the steel, drug, automobile.
optical goods, heavy and light ma
chinery, electric manufacturing and
agricultural products industries as
having experienced a favorable trend
in their overseas business during the
last six months.
The survey said that the gains ap-
peared to be due, first, to ability to
pay, because Of economies effected in
ternally BY the countries concerned;
and second, to real need for goods
which the countries could not produce
SO well or so economically, which led
to a softening OF trade resistance.
Such lines as of11ce equipment, floor
coverings, chemicals, foods and textiles
did not show equal progress, according
to the reports from various executives
in these industries.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June %. - Abrupt
changes to much improved conditions
for domestic wheat harvesting and
for general crop progress of cereals
gave a downward tendency to grain
prices today.
As a result of bright skies and
rising temperatures throughout the
entire United States agricultural belt,
with forecasts of continued like con-
ditions, a general selling movement
got under way in all the grain pits,
and was only Offset in part later
by strength of securities. Hopes were
expressed that the use Of combines
in the wheat harvest fields South
west would become practicable early
next week.
Wheat closed unstable, %-11s cents
under yesterdays finish; September,
80as-R; corn unchanged to q lower;
September, 75-751s; oats, 1s-l2 off,
and provisions varying from cents
decline to S cents gain.
Giving considerable added impetus
to downswings of wheat prices were
estimates that yields of domestic
bread grain crops Northwest would
be double those of a year ago. It was
not until the wheat market had
fallen about l 1a cents bushel that
some support for prices developed
from resting orders to buy. Strength
in the stock market served notice
ably at this stage to discourage SELL
ing of wheat and to bring about
moderate rallies.
A steadying influence among wheat
trades was the fact that so far this
season Kansas City has not received
a single car Of new grain. However,
a sharp increase of the harvest move
ment Of wheat in the Southwest the
coming week is looked for. Mean
while, the Liverpool wheat market
closed higher, lack of sales pressure
from the Southern Hemisphere being
more than an offset for reports of
beneficial rains in Australia.
Corn and oats offerings were readily
absorbed by commission houses, but
both the feed grains sympathized
more or less with wheat weakness.
Provisions eased temporarily with
grains, but rallied later on announce
ment hog packing was unseasonably
slack

Commodity Price
Trends for Week
BY H. N. McGHL,
Editor. McGiu Commodity Service. Inc,

AUBURNDALE, Mass, June % up.
Commodity prices again declined
during the third week of June. Con-
trary to a general belief following the
adverse Supreme Court decision de-
claring N. R. A. unconstitutional, there
has been no collapse i'm the price
structure or any serious contraction in
industrial activity. Moreover, a sur
vey of the country shows that only
few attempts have been made to in
crease the number Of working hours
or introduce lower wage rates. The
element of competition has increased
and as commodity markets are operat-
ing under natural economic laws, the
tendency Is for prices to weaken. The
composite index June 81 was 72.3,
which compares with a high reached
during the third week of May of 74.4.
The price level year ago was SIS. A
check-up shows that during the past
week only three groups averaged higher
and five declined. Six groups remain
unchanged.
Industrial Prices Stable.
Industrial prices have held stable
since the first Of the month. The
trend, however, has been downward
for several months. The latest index
Of 71.9 compares with 1913 at the turn
of the year and 1875 year ago. In
dustrial activity is now estimated at
"a per cent under normal.
Agricultural prices also showed re-
sistance to bearish pressure. The in
dex for the week was slightly higher
than the previous week. The price
trend was mixed as six items advanced,
namely, corn, oats, barley, rye, cotton
and rice, while six products declined
wheat, eggs, peanuts, potatoes, fax
seed and butter.
Live stock prices registered the
greatest weakness of any group. The
reaction was general as cattle, hogs
and lamb prices ruled weak.
Non-ferrous metals represent one
Of the five groups to decline during
the week, entirely due to lower quo
tations for silver and tin.
Paint materials lost considerable
ground, caused by price weakness in
linseed oil as well as roSin and tur-
pentine.
Fine textiles recorded slight in
crease from the previous week, due
entirely to a moderate price recovery
in spot cotton. Wool and rayon prices
held steady, while raw silk was slightly
lower.
Coarse Textiles Gain.
Coarse textiles moved upward, repre-
senting the third group to increase.
The two items that were responsible
for the recovery were jute and burlap.
Vegetable oils continued the down.
ward price trend that started early in
the month. The most recent reaction
was due to lower prices for linseed,
coconut and China wood oils.
