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


NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Every i'm
portant group of commodity prices de-
clined this week; al lexcept one sink
ing to new lows for the year or longer.
Quotations have been falling with
few Interruptions since early April.
During the period the Associated
Press weighted index of IS wholesale
staple quotations has slumped az per
cent, carrying prices to the lowest
levels since July, 1896.
The index this week dropped to
1914 per cent of the 1926 average from
1918 week ago and compared with
BATS last year.
Declines outweighed advances more
than four to one. The only classiflca-
tion not hitting new low for the
year was live stock.
Industrial, food and agricultural
commodities all joined the recession.
The longest string of setbacks oc-
CURED among industrial items. BIZ
luminous coal, steel scrap. turpentine,
linseed oil, lumber. antimony, tin,
zinc and copper all gave ground. Rub
ber alone managed to exc out small
advance.
Inventories Still Large.
Impetus for this almost unani-
nous easing tendency, analysts said.
stemmed from the slack industrial
tempo and clouded outlook. Inven-
tories, they said, continued larger than
current business warranted, although
a long step has been taken toward
the solution Of this bloated condition.
With wool and silk slipping, textiles
dipped into new low ground for the
seventeenth consecutive week. Over
production is still labeled the cause
for the downturn, although cheaper
raw materials are also a factor.
Grains headed lower again. Corn,
wheat, oats and rye joined the down.

strengthened after long period of
weakness. The trade points out in
tbs connection that the bad" news
the largest crop in history-is out

be technical
Live Stock Uneven.
Live stock presented a mixed pic

falling back. The latter decline was
sufficient to outweigh the first pair.
Food also pointed down. Sugar,

Butter, however, pushed up.

Two men today petitioned supe- rior court for a modification of ali- mony-one because he has no means of paying the ailmony, and the other because he is in doubt as to whom he will pay the money. Both peti- tions will be heard Friday by Judge Kenneth Wynne.
 Paul Jacobski was recently or- dered to pay his wife, Helen Vass Jacobski, of Naugatuck, alimony of $8 weekly, when she was awarded 8 divorce against him. Today he says he has no work and no income and is unable to pay. He adds that there are no children to support, and that his former wife is earning enough to support herself.
 Oscar D. O'Hara was ordered to pay his wife $1O weekly when she won a divorce suit against him. In his motion for modification, he sim ply states that he has compiled with the order until May 5, and has intentions of continuing-but he doesn't know to whom he should pay the alimony. His former wife was sent to state hospital on an emergency ticket.

Court Order Necessary Before Vacations With
 Pay Are Assured


 Vacations with pay may be grant, ed to the employees of the Sprague Electrical Supply company, but it will take a court order to arrange them. The only reason for the court order is the fact that the company is under receivership, and all such moves must be sanctioned by the court.
 Judge Kenneth Wynne in superior court Friday will decide on the question. The petition asks that per- mission be given the receiver to allow all employees of two years or more to have one weeks vacation with pay. Prior to 1885 the en- ployes were allowed two weeks with pay, according to the writ.
