Cincinnatis boom was materially
aided by the high rate of activity

so far this year than in any compar-
able period since 1929.
Then, too, vacancies in both apart

Government spending is considered
to have been helpful, analysts point
ing out that Cincinnati is the nearest

The fast tempo Of residential con.

NEW YORK, September 1e.-
Whipped up by demand that reaches
huge proportions in some sections
of the list, commodity prices swept
to the highest level Of the year as the
week drew to a close. Peaks dating
back to the early sos were reached
by industrial staples and products of
the Nations farms. Food, live stock

advanced to 81.47, against 8126 a
week ago and 77.96 in comparable
1885 period.
Steel scrap quotations jumped to
within fraction Of the high point
established in 1929. The industry Is
currently booming along at a East
pace, and trade quarters say that at
least a part of the boost in prices
recently is due to the reluctance of
dealers to sell while they are still
rising. ...
