WAR AND DROUGHT
COMBINE TO FORCE
COMMODITY DROP
II of 35 Staples Dipped to
Lower Levels Last Week.
Seven Advanced.
BY A, A, PATTON.
Press Statistician.


NEW YORK, August 22.-Dipping
slightly this week for the first time
in more than a month, commodity
prices reflected increasing apprehen-
sion over the European situation as
we'll as domestic crop conditions.
Head and shoulders above other
performers in the Nations market
places, however. were the same agri-
cultural staples that have bounded
ahead spiritedly in the past few
months.
Rising to new highs for several
years, the farmers principal crops
were in urgent demand at steadily
higher quotations. The drought that
has scourged the Midwest this Sum-
mer is still much in evidence, latest
advices from the Weather Bureau in
dicate, and has been primarily re-
sponsible for upturn.
IL Of IS Staples Lower.
The Associated Press weighted
wholesale index of 35 important COM
modify prices slipped to 80.34 Of the
1926 average, against 8046 last week
and 1922 il the comparable period a
year ago.
Eleven of the 35 staples were lower,
with foods, livestock and textiles pre-
dominating. Increases totaled seven
occurring principally in the agricul-
tural group.
Corn, wheat, oats and rye rose
sharply. Cotton, on the other hand.
slid off as the trade became more and
more convinced that the crop yield
would be larger than earlier estimates.
Steel scrap continued to be bid up
in the Pittsburgh and Chicago mar
kets, with stocks smaller and those
dealers holding sizable supplies wait
ing higher prices. The demand stems
principally from the steel companies
doing business with automobile, build
ing and railroad companies. Minor
reactions in rubber, tin and turpentine
were considered mostly technical.
Table necessities were lower; eggs,
flour and butter falling in this cate
CORY, while cocoa pushed up frac-
tionally.
Textile Outlook Good.
Live stock moved off Hogs re-
NAMED unchanged at the top price Of
the year, but cattle and lambs fell
back.
The easing of the textile index is
said in factoring circles to mirror the
headlong rise in cotton manufac-
turing during the past month and
half. This increase has carried cot
ton production to the best level since
1888. Turning down with cotton cloth
was silk. Wool stepped up a notch.
The index with it's components,
based on 1926 as 100, compared as

Epec1al DlSpatcn TO Ihe star.
NEW YORK, August 22.-Commerce
between the United States and the
dominionS, colonies and dependencies
of the British Empire in the last five
years, despite the depression, averaged
nearly a billion dollars a year, nearly
double that of the low point Of 1892
and promising further expansion if
allowed to develop on normal, friendly
lines, according to American Automo-

This commerce is practically bal

States to the empire dominions, colJ

years, $2,096, ,756,000 Direct imports
into the United States from the
identical territories and in the same
period were $2,13o.57s,0 900. In other
words, sales and purchases were prac-
tically equally balanced.
The United States buys wool, jute,
tin, rubber, ores of various sortS. spices,
tea, furs, lumber, diamonds and q
long list of other essentials. It pays
for these imports by exporting auto
mobiles, agricultural implements, elec-
trical and radio products, industrial
machinery, Office appliances, etc. The

Larger Oil Dividends Likely
As Earnings Continue Upward

ing months However, gains over
1885 will probably be narrower than
in the first six months since the in
dustry's earnings recovery was well
under way at this time year ago.
While depletion and depreciation
charges remain arbitrary to a high
degree. and methods of amortizing
drilling costs are constantly subject
to change, there is every indication
that the full years earnings will far
exceed existing dividend rates. Con-
sequently, 1t is logical to expect size

MOTOR INDUSTRY
EXPANDS PLANTS
Looks to Future in Erecting
New Assembly and.
Production Units.
BY DAVID J. WILKIE,
Associated Press Stai Writer.

DETROIT. August 23-Production
is tapering of somewhat in the as
sembly plants of the motor car in
dustry. but there has been no halt in
the building operations the markers of
motor vehicles have undertaken
against a future they believe will be
brighter than any period to date in the
history Of automobile assembling
The swing over to new model intro
duction has closed several plants while
new machinery is installed, although
consumer demand has shown rela-
lively little abatement. The more
than 10000 dealers, however, have
been fairly we'll provided with cur
rent models by those producers plan
ming a shut down and the impression
in trade circles is that no delivery
delays will be encountered during
the change over period.
Building Operations.
Building operations continue under
discussion as the factories wind up
assemblies on current types. One of
IllC 1dl SCl CApdIlSiOl1 u11oCl ldhI1SS 1S
that at Lansing. Mich, where Olds-
mobile is planning a s6,5oo,o 900 en-
largement of its production facilities.
In Detroit, Chrysler Corp, has begun
the installation of large amount of
new heavy machinery providing addi-
tional production facilities for its De
Soto division.
At various strategic points through
out the country General Motors and
others of the volume producing units
Of the industry are pushing forward
the extension of assembly plants of
body building factories.
The plant expansion program gen.
orally contemplates the installation of
new equipment throughout. While
some of the undertaking replaces obso-
lescent plants and machinery the de-
probation of factories and equipment
has not been nearly as great as the
more than $100,000,000 enlargement
program currently under way in the
motor car industry.
Huge Demand Seen.
Executives of the motor car indus
try point out that the huge sum set
aside for extending plant facilities is
entirely separate from the customary
annual outlay in machinery replace
ment and installation necessitated by
new model output.
All the building operations are
based upon the conviction held by
the manufacturers that the present
high rate of automobile demand will
continue for some time to come. The
producers have not raised their esti-
mate of 4,650,000 units as the current
years output, but they point to the
heavy Redistribution of used cars in
addition to new unit sales as bearing
out the early year prediction that
actual demand in 1896 would be well
above factory assemblies.

HAVE QUIET WEEK
Vacations, Weather and
Political Situation Re-

LONDON, August % (N.ANA)-
Holiday abse1teeism, intensified by
fine weather, coupled with foreign
anxieties, sharply restrained business
in the financial district during the
past week.
Quietude in the exchange market
was a welcome pause in the battle Of
the franc, which it is thought will
continue for some weeks or months.
Money returning to France is ex-
ceeded by Withdrawals. Foreign
boarding of Bank of England notes
continues and the post-holiday reduc-
tioa in volume of currency is less
than normal. This explains the re-
sumption of gold purchases by the
Bank of England when sales were ex-
pected. This policy reveals the de-
termination of the authorities to keep
basic credit amply broad.
Gilt-edged stocks, therefore, staged
strong recovery, which also was en-
couraged by the figures of national
revenue from overseas trade. The
continuance of strength in this section
is expected Elsewhere, movements
in prices were slightly irregular, but
there was less than seasonal sagging.
The optimistic tone of industrials
was again refreshed by the latest evi-
dence of rising prosperity, notably the
strong, persistent building boom. Also.
the board of trade index of British
production in the June quarter made
a high peak for all time, although re-
armament Is not yet in full swing.
The next account, beginning Mon
day, will quietly continue recent trends
unless Spanish anxieties spread.
The commodity outlook Is strong
for copper, lead and rubber. Rumors
that the rubber quota will be raised
are premature.
Altogether, the holiday season is
passing of satisfactorily in the busi-
ness world.
