Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON.

NEW YORK, June 27.-Drought
and soaring heat in many parts Of
the West continued to prod COM
modify prices into higher ground this
week, for the fourth successive ad-
vance.
The Associated Press weighted in
6ex of 35 important wholesale COM
modities closed at the highest point
since late April At 1875 the index
compares with 1901 last week and
70 63 year ago.
The Weather Bureau report for the
period ending June % indicated "a
widespread need for rain in most
agricultural sections of the country"
with 35 States receiving less than
normal moisture.
AS the week drew to close, how
ever, light rains pattered over the
stricken Northwest, alleviating the
parched condition of much of that
area. at least temporarily.
The drought blight has not visited
all States equality. Nineteen fronting
on the coast for instance have had
better than normal precipitation this
year. Even in these apparently favor
ed sections. the last few months has
brought little rain and many of them
are currently seriously deficient.
Evaporation Speeded.
The appearance of high tempera-
lures in the prairie regions of the
y, ~ i,I,%
responsible for considerable peSsimiSm
over crop prospects. While it remains
cool, top-soil and plant moisture is
retained but hot, sunny days cause
rapid evaporation of this reservoir.
The grains responded to these wea-
ther dispatches with broad advances.
Wheat, following early gains, settled
back Corn, oats and rye, however,
pushed substantially higher. Cotton
continued to show strength as rumors
pointed to curtailed Government Ii
quotation
The trend of food prices at whole
sale was mixed. Butter was SUBJ
Jected to the most unusual movement
in a decade, rising unSeasonably on
short supplies. Flour prices followed
the upward surge in wheat. Cocoa
added slightly to its already advanced
level. Eggs, sugar and lard weakened.
Live stock prices-up s per cent
in four weeks-again nudged ahead
The possibility of reduced or higher
cost feed as a result of dryness is re-
ported to have had some effect in
boosting hogs and cattle Lambs were
bit lower
Industrial Prices Up.
The staples of industry rallied
abruptly following last weeks low for
the year. Rubber, steel scrap, turpen-
tine, linseed oil and bituminous coal
Joined in the upturn. Lumber dipped.
Tin plunged downward during the
week, the decision of the International
Committee to increase the world allot-
ment per cent adding impetus to an
already feeble market. The markdown
of zinc, first in many months, ac-
companied reports of excessive stocks
OF the metal
Textiles were mixed, silk moving

weighted wool declining.

DUCK, Twizzlers here comes a
fast one from Twizzler Saari. A
flock of ducks was winging its merry
way southwark when suddenly lone
duck zoomed down from above and,
banking into sharp turn, pulled
up beside the leader. "Hey!" he said,
where are you hundred ducks going?"
"We are not a hundred ducks" the
leader replied; "in order to have q
hundred We need, in addition to us,

How many were in the flock when
