a substantial increase in benefit pay
ments from the Government, accord
ing to the Alexander Hamilton In
stitute. Benefit payments in March
amounted to Sill 100000 this year,

tailed 206,000,000, as compared with
only $l6,0oo,000 year ago.
Benefit payments raised the farm

100000 This represented an increase
of So per cent over the $52O,00O, 900
received in the same month last
year. Total farm cash income, in
Guiding benefit payments, in the first
quarter amounted to 81, ,945, ,OOO, 900, as
against $3.50, 900, 600 year ago, an

If the increase in total farm income
over a year ago which occurred in
March should be maintained during
the remainder of 1887 the annual
farm income this year would amount
to s1o,574, 100000. as compared with
$7,865, 100000 last year and with
$4,328, 100000 at the low for the de-

WHOLESALE INDEX
HOLDS UNCHANGED
Fertilizer Association Reveals
Average at 87.3 Per Cent for
Another Week,

AnOLner week.
The weekly wholesale commodity
price index compiled by the National
Fertilizer Association remained un-
changed in the week ended May IS
after declining in each of the five pre-
ceding weeks. The index last week
stood at 1878 per cent of the 1926-l928
average, compared witt, 1878 in the
preceding week, and the high point of
the year, 1877, in the first week Of
April. A year ago the index was ISL.
Although there was no change dur
ing the week in the all-commodity in
dex, four of the principal group indexes
declined and only two advanced.
Higher prices for livestock, which more
than offset declines in cotton and
grains, resulted in an upturn in the
index Of farm product prices. It was
the rise in this group which was pri-
marily responsible for the failure OF
the all-commodity index to show Z
decline.
Rejecting an advance in fuel oil
prices, the fuel index rose to a new
high point for the recovery period.
Food prices were generally lower
last week, with 16 items represented in
the index declining and only seven ad-
vancing; the group index receded to
the lowest level reached since last Fall.

RAILS IMPROVE
ON IRREGULAR
STOCK LIST
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, March II IN.S0.
Profit-taking throughout the list
turned the stock market irregular
today although rails and utilities
resisted the trend toward realiz-
ing.
New York Central spurted more
than two points, Pennsylvania and
st. Paul preferred, reached new
tops, and Southern Pacific equaled
its be 1867 price. U. S. Steel
and Bethlehem slipped after early
strength. Chrysler was virtually
unchanged, but Studebaker and
Nash-Kelvinator lost ground.
Electric Power and Light and
Public Service of New Jersey each
advanced a point in firm utility
section. U. S. Rubber reached a
new peak in its department on a
rise of better than a point. Oils
were quiet and little changed.
Metals were generally sluggish.
Bonds were featured by a fur
ther crack-up in Governments.
