Commodity Price
Changes for Week

.
NEW YORK, July 11.-Rushing into
a headlong advance this week, COM
modify prices chalked up the widest
gains since the pre-N. r. A. scramble
in the Summer of 1888.
Setting the pace for the run-up were
the agricultural products, with phe-
nominal six-day rise of more than Il
per cent.
The Associated Press weighted index
of 35 majer wholesale commodity
prices jumped from 74.65 last week
to 77.21, compared with 1857 yeai
ago.
Scorching heat and lack of rain in
the Northwest continued to be the
most important factor in price move.

the drought or the killing heat.
World Supplies Low.
Although dominated almost COM
pletely by drought news, especially in
the food and farm groups, staple
markets have begun recently to show
the effect of unusually low world sup.
plies of many commodities.
Hand-to-mouth buying habits and
the restrictive effect of producers price
and output agreements have cut deeply
into stocks.
The most important underlying
cause, however, of the relatively tight
position reported in some staples, such
as cocoa, silk and cotton, is the high
level of world consumption that has
resulted from better business. The
demand stepped up so sharply, 50
quickly that producers in many in.
stances are hard put to meet it.
Grains shot up with the ther-
mometer, sweeping wheat, corn, oats
and rye with it.
Cotton skipped UP to the best price
since August, 1884, with doubt as to
the size of the crop combining with
the highest rate of consumption that
world has known for many years to
put it there
Under the same influence, cotton
cloth, wool and silk moved ahead
another notch.
Food Prices Advance.
Food quotations advanced and are
currently about 10 per cent above the
low point touched in May. Eggs,
coffee, lard and butter shared in the
upturn while sugar, cocoa and flour
dipped. Live stock was mixed, hogs
dropping back and lambs rising.
Industrial staples were mostly
lower. Hides, bituminous coal, Zinc
and lumber were weak; rubber, bur-
lap, linseed oil and tin strong.

based ON 1925 as 100. follows:

CHICAGO GRAIN
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 11.-Frantic sud-
den general selling plunged wheat
down 5 cents today and corn 7 cents,
with corn later rebounding 3l2 cents.
Unexpected forecasts suggesting
that the end Of the persistent record
breaking heat and drought would be
witnessed in the North American
grain belt by Monday were chiefly
credited with bringing about the SEN
sational collapse of quotations.
Much of the semi-panicky selling
that took place, especially in wheat,
was of stop-loss character, with
prices undergoing an almost perpen-
dicular fall to the extreme allowable
limit, both for wheat and its COM
panion breadstuff, rye.
Wheat closed at a standstin be-
cause owing to exchange rules no fur

From the outset, wheat values
showed themselves topheavy after

spread desire in evidence to realize
profits. Nothing in the nature OF a
selling stampede. however, developed
until word came of rains in parts of
Canada with talk current that gen.
eral breakup of heat and drought
over the weekend in the United
States appeared to be impending. At
this juncture, an official weather fore
cast in Chicago was issued that was
regarded in many quarters as con-
firming likelihood of radical change
of weather conditions to a sort more
favorable to crops.
Corn and oats scored new high
price records for the season, with
corn up more than cents overnight.

corn dropped nearly straight down.

corn were attributed to buying on the
part of many traders, who were un-
convinced that corn crop dangers
were averted. Rye market behavior
was governed mainly by wheat action.
Oats appeared to be altogether on a
