srtcial Dispatch to The Star

srtcial Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, August 8-In its
weekly summary Of the general busi"
ness situation, the Standard Statistics
Co. of New York currently comments
as follows:
Greater than expected activity in
several important trades caused in
dustrial production in July TO reach
the best level since the recovery move
ment got under way. In fact, the
Standard Statistics Co. index Of in
dustrial activity for last month of
$40 corrected for seasonal variation,
1925, equals 100 was the highest
since June of 1880
"The contra seasonal improvement
in July was due almost entirely to ex-
panding activity in the capital goods
industries. Indeed, with the excep-
ton of moderate slackening in the
first two months Of this year, the pro-
ducers' goods trades have been ex-
panding schedules without interrupt
ton since June, 1885.
Despite the fact that August nor
mally is one Of the dullest months of
the year from the standpoint of indus
trial production, present indications
are that output in the current month
will show no more than moderate con-
traction, after making allowance for
seasonal factors, from the abnormally
high July levels.
THE index of industrial production
for August is preliminarily estimated
at 1873, the best figure for any August
since 1929.

Commodity
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press Statistician.


NEW YORK, August 9.-Farm
staples hit by drought continued in
the past week to set the pace for a
renewed advance Of commodity prices.
Boltered by additional sharp
spurts in the major grain markets, the
Associated Press weighed index Of 35
important wholesale prices touched
the highest point recorded in several
years.
With agricultural products as group
at new peak, the main index rase to
8O06 per cent Of the 1926 level, COM
pared with 1917 the week before and
7489 year ago.
Federal farm officials had labeled
the drought the worst on record be-
fore rains began to fall late in the
week over p2rched Middle West areas.
Moisture Welcomed.
Moisture was welcomed as a help
to the wilted corn crop, but much Of
it was described as beyond revival and
the cereal retained the major part
Of its spectacular gains in face Of a
market reaction on the rain reports.
Wheat also finished higher on the
week as figures indicated world pro-
duction this year might leave nothing
for carryOver as result Of shrinkage
in yields in other countries as we'll as
at home.
Farm authorities noted prospects OF
more agriculture imports and ad-
vanclng food costs next Winter as
the full force Of drought losses are
felt BY the consumer. Domestic sup
plies OF grains and other products, it
was pointed out, were cut sharply
after the 1884 drought and only
partially replenished by last years
better harVeStS
1t was feared the rise in corn prices
would discourage its feeding to live
stock and poultry. but experts did not
look for the effect on meat prices TO
be appreciable until next year because
Of larger supplies coming to the mar
ket in the meanwhile.
Live Stock Lower.
In fact, live stock quotations enter
ing into the Associated Press whole
sale index sagged for the week and
were moderately below the figure
year ago.
Food costs as a group rose with basic
farm staples. Wholesale centerS re-
ported increased buying for inventory
both by dealers and consumers in an
ticipation of higher levels.
Expectations of gains also were held
a potent influence in forward buying
in household goods and textiles.
Generally, however, industrial indexes
failed to match the farm group for
vigor on the up side.
Non-ferrous metals were lower on the
average after the record run Of do
mestic buying Of copper last month
and the advance to 994 cents. The
sustained pace of industrial recovery,
with steel operations holding around
the peak for the movement, was seen
as stanch prop for a large segment
Of the price structure.
Cotton Falls Back.
Cotton ignores favorable trade news
and fell back to lover levels while the
market waited the Governments ini-
tial estimate of the seasons crop.
