CHEMICAL SALES
BOOSTS CREDITED
TO TRADE PACTS

Substantial increases in the
chemical foreign trade Of the
United States since the series of
reciprocal trade agreements with
foreign countries went into effect
are cited as an indication of the
stimulating effect" Of the agree
mentS in a report by Otto Wilson,
Statistician Of Washington, to the
American Chemical Society, which
holds it's ninety-fourth meeting at
Rochester. N. Y, September 6
to 10.
BY checking import and export
figures for 1885 against earlier
figures, Mr.. Wilson finds a start
ing point for judging the results
Of mutual tariff concessions. Trade
agreements alone are not response
BILE for the changes, he points out.
Continued business recovery here
and abroad, political crises, big re-
armament programs. and compare
tive stability in exchange have
also affected the trade.
The trade returns, nevertheless,
do have significance in adjudging
the effects of the agreements,
most of which have been in opera
ton for at least year. he says.

commodity prices again was lower
in the week ended August IA, &C.
cording to the National Fertilizer

Rod, and q year ago, sos, based
on the 1926-192S average as 100.
The largest decline during the
week took place in the food group,
with is items declining and only
eight advancing. Changes in prices
Of farm products were mixed. with
seven items included in the group
declining and six advancing; de-
creases in cotton, grain, and hog
prices resulted In the group index
falling to the lowest point reached
in the last eight weeks. Lower
quotations for cotton, cotton
goods, and silk resulted in a fur
ther recession for the textile group
index.
An increase in the price Of Zinc
offset decreases in steel scrap and
tin prices, thereby causing slight
rise in the metal price index. The
commodity group
index remained unchanged last
week, a slight fall in the price Of
linseed meal being balanced by a
rise in the price Of bran. The
group indexes representing the
prices of fertilizer materials, fuels,
