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

ASSOClALeQ EreSS St6tlStlclan.
NEW YORK, March 14.-Commodity
markets reacted in diverse ways to
the war clouds over Europe.
Grains and live stock were bid up
sharply, but the Associated Press
wholesale commodity price index con-
tinued the downward drift that began
four weeks ago, closing at 74.S1 yes
terday, against 1884 week ago and
1926 in the same week last year.
Foods, down IA per cent in the
past month, were again the principal
contributors to the general decline.
Egg prices were slashed about 8
cents a dozen; they have lost almost
half their value since the shortage
visualized several weeks ago failed to
materialize. Butter, cocoa and coffee
also worked lower. Lard moved
against the trend, advancing slightly.
Steel Prices Changed.
Industrial commodities suffered
more from a readjustment in steel
billet quotations coincident with the
new method of handling discounts, as
announced this week by manufac-
turers than from any marked setback
to the individual staples.
Rubber lost little ground as the
trade continued to speculate on the
present trend of consumption. Tur-
pentine slipped lower. Burlap rose on
bullish reports from India.
War talk and swirling dust storms
were the bullish influences Of the
grains. The advances, however, were
not sensational in any instance, but
all the commodities in the agricul-
tural group-corn, wheat, oats, rye
and cotton-experienced some gain.
Price changes in the live stock
category were not SO one-sided,
although advances in hogs and lambs
outweighed the drop in cattle.
The only major change In textile

CHICAGO, March 14.-Announce-
ment of big odds against hostilities in
Europe, together with peace gestures
to Germany by the League of Nations
Council, tumbled wheat prices down
today.
General speculative selling Of wheat
was witnessed, and rallies in quota
tions lacked vigor. Explicit advices
were circulated that 9l2 to could be
obtained abroad for six months guar
sntee of no war, and 1872 to ! that
French troops would not enter the
Rhineland within the next three
months.
Wheat closed unsteady, 9s-l9s under
yesterdays finish. May 99s4-5s, July
s9a4 IS; corn 1s-l2 of, May 6oss-at:
oats l4-as down, and provisions un-
changed to 10 cents decline.
Evidence of at least a temporary
collapse of the war scare dominated
the wheat trade from the outset.
Sharp notice was taken that in addi-
ton to reports insurance rates pointed
strongly to likelihood Of European
peace, the New York stock market
had a much firmer tone, circum-
stance interpreted as emphasizing
more favorable transatlantic political
developments. Tending further to
increase beariSh sentiment were Win
nipeg messages saying export business
in Canadian wheat appeared to be
virtually nil.
In the chief rush of wheat selling,
q fall of Is cents per bushel took
place. and at no time was there
subsequent recovery Of more than a
cent from the bottom then reached.
Late in the day there were increasing
reports of duststorms Southwest. but
such news was virtually ignored.
Trade summaries from domestic
wheat territory were that as whole
the crop condition averaged fairly
good.
Corn, oats and rye weakened with
wheat. Notwithstanding unsettled
weather was looked for over large
part of the corn belt.
Provisions reflected downturns Of
hog values and of grains.

ion which invalidated the whole act.
Justices Cardozo, Brandeis, and Stone
Joined in a dissenting opinion in which
they upheld the act Chief Justice
Hughes held In separate opinion that
the act was constitutional with re-
spect to the marketing provisions but
unconstitutional with respect to the
labor regulations.
The court in the majority opinion
held that there is no authority in the
Constitution for the control of the coal
industry attempted in the Guffey act.
The act was not valid either under
the commerce clause or the welfare
clause. Power was unlawfully delegated
to set up a coal code similar to the
codes Of the invalidated NRA and the
regulations establishing working hours
of miners were violation of the fifth
amendment prohibiting the taking of
property without due process of law.
Mining, the court declared, is a local
industry, the state Jurisdiction whereof
the federal government has no author
tty to invade.
Congress provided that If one part
of the act were held unconstitutional
other parts should not be affected. But
the majority declined to accept that
arrangement, ruling that the price fix
ing provisions were inextricably inter-
woven with the labor regulations.
Senator Guffey, author of the act,
declined to comment on the opinion,
but it was said he was preparing a
substitute measure.
John Lewis, presid ,1t of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, said that ut is a
sad commentary upon our form of
government when every decision Of the
Supreme court seems designed to fat
