WHOLESALE INDEX
REGISTERS UPTURN
Fertilizer Association Finds
Average at 76.9, Against
76.7 Week Ago.

The decline In the general level Of
wholesale prices which had lasted for
four weeks was checked In the week
ended March 2l, according to the index
compiled by the National Fertilizer
Association. This index rose to 1863
from 76.7 in the preceding week.
Two weeks ago the index was 76.3,
month ago, 778, and year ago. 75.9,
based on the 1868 average as 100.
The highest point reached by the index
this year was 78.5, in the first week OF
January.
The relative stability of prices last
week is indicated by the fact that
relatively slight advances were regis
tered by two groups and small declines
by two, with seven Of the component
groups showing no change.
The most important advance, and
the one mainly responsible for the rise
in the composite index, was in food
prices, with the index for this group
rising from TIL to 1870. With the
exception Of the preceding week, how.
ever, the foods index was still at the
lowest level reached since last June.
The only other rise occurred in the
farm machinery group index, which
showed slight advance. Farm product
price trends were mixed during the
week with 10 price series included in
the group declining and advancing,
the net result being small drop in the
group index.

G. Wingard, Alaska Agent for the bureau.
 We are interested in looking over the late runs to see how the chums and cohos are running and if the pinks are out of the way and dog salmon showing" he ex- plained. "Escapement thus far has been satisfactory"
 While only three plants so far have announced they are going to take advantage of the fall season, opening October l, two at Klawock and one at Tyee, many natives have expressed desire to par ticipate in the fall fishing, Win gard said. Present indications, how ever, he said, are that there will be a heavy run of chums and cohos at the outset which may find the canneries swamped with the result they may not be able to utilize all the gear available unless the fishing spreads out more than appearts at present.

Controversy Shifts from Coast to National
 Capital

No apparent progress toward 8 settlement of the differences between the ship owners and maritime unions transpired dur ing the last twenty -four hours, during which statements from both employers and union rep resentatives were made, each side obviously a tt c m p ing to shift the responsibility for possible closing down of Pacific Coast maritime operations, 2 week from today, September 30.
 Wate rfront workers' repre- sentatives disclaim any grave danger of what they term a strike" On the other hand they contend that if the shut down comes it will be a flock out" on the part of the em- ployers, as they contend the employers refuse to negotiate with them direct, and insist on an arbitration board. which the unions contend is impractical from their standpoint because of the may kinds of work and classifications in the maritime industry with which an arbi- tration board could not be suf- ficientlys familiar. N
 Elm pIOyerS representatives contend that if enough men re- port 0 work the companies will continue, otherwise they will shut down.
