FACTORY PAY ROLLS
AT RECOVERY PEAK
October Increase Larger Than
Seasonal, but Part Is Due to
New Auto Schedule.
speclal disc a Ten to The Star.

Special Disr atch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December Factory
pay rolls rose to a new recovery peak
in October, according to the Alexander
Hamilton Institute. The increase in
the usual seasonal rise, although
part of the gain was attributable to
the new schedule adopted by the au-
tomotive industry.
The october index, based on 1928
25-100, was ISL, as compared with
72.1 in September, an increase OF AZ
per cent. The average increase in
these two months during the last l6
years was approximately l per cent.
The level of factory pay rolls in Oc-
tober was 231 per cent above the pre-
vious year and 1924 per cent above the
depressions low in March, 1888. De-
spite the sharp rise, however, only
slightly over one-haf of the depres-
sion's decline has been recovered.
The value of factory output also rose
in October to a new recovery peak.
While the price level was slightly
lower in October than in September,
the decrease was more than offset by
the increase in output. At the same
time, prices we're considerably higher
than in July, 1888. Consequently
the failure of production to quite
reach the peak in that month did
not prevent the value of the output
from attaining a new high for the
recovery movement.

BOOST IN COPPER
STILL POSSIBILITY
More Active Buying of Week Laid
to Fears-Producers Re-
ported Disagreed.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, pecembec IA fair
demand was reported this week for
copper, tin and lead
The more active buying of copper,
which amounted to about 10000 tons
thus far this month, was still believed
to have been influenced by the possi-
bility Of price advance.
At the same time differences OF
opinion are said to exist among pro-
ducerS as to the advisability of such
a move and the market was unchanged
at 914 cents for electrolytic. Foreign
inquiry broadened, with export prices
improving fractionally.
Announcement by the International
Tin Committee of an increase in pro-
duction quotas to 80 per cent of the
base period for the first quarter of 1886
as compared with the present rate Of
80 per cent had no immediate market
influence.
Prior TO the action, prices had ad-
vanced and then eased slightly. Tin
plate mill activity remained at be-
tween IS and 70 per cent Of capacity.
Active buying of lead continued at
unchanged prices. Zinc statistics reg
iStered improvement for the fourth
consecutive month. Prices were un-
changed.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY III. n, McGILL,
Editor, McGiu Commodity Service. Inc.
Auburndale Mass

Editor, McGill Commodity Service. Inc,
Auburndale Mass.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, December 7
Commodity prices during the
first week of December climbed up
ward, reaching the highest point since
early October. Price trends were
mixed, as out of IA individual groups
four averaged higher, five declined
and five remained unchanged. A
check-up shows that the higher price
level was due primarily to two groups
namely, live stock and agricultural
products. In both instances prices
advanced substantially over the No
vember average, but held under the
high points reached in October.
Industrial prices moved downward,
falling well under the November
average. Industrial activity is be-
ginning to stabilize, following a sub
stantial seasonal upswing. The latest
estimate of business activity stands at
Is per cent under normal.
Farm Prices Strong.
Agricultural prices were strong, al
though more items declined than ad-
vanced. Lower quotations as COM
pared with a week ago for corn. bar
ley, rye, cotton, beans and potatoes
were more than offset by higher levels
for butter, flaXseed, wool and eggs.
Live stock, the third major group,
registered the most extensive advance
of any group, rejecting higher quota
tions for cattle, hogs and sheep.
Non-ferrous metal prices declined
moderately, principally due to a de-
cline in tin.
Paint materials were also lower,
caused by lower markets for roSin,
turpentine and china wood oil.
Fine textiles represent the third
group to advance. Price strength in
wool more than offset the lower quo
tations recorded for cotton and raw
silk.
Coarse textiles, however, were lower
under the leadership Of burlap and
hemp, which averaged under the level
of week ago.
Hide and leather prices also were
lower, as packer hide quotations
reached the 14a4 cent level and GER
tain finished feathers as well were
off slightly.
Vegetable Oils Gain.
Vegetable oils moved upward as
coconut, corn and cottonseed oils ad-
vanced. China wood oil represents
the only item in this group to decline.
Most important price changes in

UNCERTAINTY is FELT
OVER RAIL OUTLOOK
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December THE sud-
den spell of calm which has spread
itself over the railroad issues has raised
doubts in many minds over their re-
siliency.
On this score stock analysts point
out that although loadings have been
turning in better-th -than-seasona per-
formance there still remain other
things to take the edge off the specu-
lative appetite.
Not the least of these, as some see
it, is the fact that the return on prop
erty investment for the first 10 months
of the year at 1.79 per cent was only
three-hundredths of per cent ahead
of that for the like period a year ago.
