Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, September 18.-Com-
modify prices advanced for the second
consecutive period this week, follow
| ing an unbroken decline of two
months.
Industrial and agricultural staples
continued to follow divergent paths,
the former sinking steadily and the
latter advancing sharply.
The Associated Press weighted index
of 35 important wholesale commodi-
ties moved ahead to 1924 per cent
of the 1926 average from 86.74 week
ago and compared with 8l.47 last
year.
The upSwing was by no means
unanimous, however, the number of
staples chalking up better prices being
equaled by those showing losses. The
decisiveness of the gain was largely
the result of strength in heavily
weighted items. such as corn, live
stock and butter.
Live Stock Higher.
Live stock quotations swept up to
higher ground, bid up to the best
levels for the year by dealers who had
relatively small stocks on hand and
were faced with official estimates that
shipments to market would taper off
considerably the next few months.
Hogs, cattle and lambs shared the
squirt, with the latter showing the
best gain.
With corn rising sensationally on
continued reports of crop damage,
farm staples pushed ahead despite de-
clines in wheat, oats and cotton. Rye
advanced with the heavily weighted
corn.
Food was marked up, gains in eggs.
lard and butter overbalancing sinking
spells in sugar, cocoa, coffee and -four
Demand has been heavy for table
items, commodity men reported, and
the available supply limited in some
cases.
Textiles Hit New Low.
Although a minor rally developed
at the close Of the week, textiles slip
ped into new low ground for the year.
The same bearish influence, diversified
inventories, hung over the market.
Leaders in the industry, however, have
taken cognizance Of the situation and
efforts were made to reduce bloated
stocks. Pacific Mills, one of the
biggest manufacturers, cut operations
to three days week and other pro-
ducers were believed considering the
move
A sharp break in steel scrap prices
tumbled industrial commodities. Rub
ber, coal and burlap also fell back.
Turpentine, lumber, antimony and tin
were higher.

anv studio she wanted to visit. She
chose Super Terrific Pictures, because
1t was the biggest and because it en-
ployed more stars than any OF the
others.
Now Karen was new. She had
burning desire to become writer OF
articles on the movies and had jour-
neyed to Hollywood with that in mind.
She hadn't expected such sudden sue

unfamiliar to her as foreign land.
For while she wandered around

wide with wonder and awe. She saw
the side of battleShip that looked as
real as any she'd ever seen in Charles

that looked more genuine than the one
she had witnessed outside OF Phila-
delphia two months ago. She saw
taxicabs and old-time horse-drawn
cabs and fire hydrants and mail boxes
and street corners and milk wagons
that made her think twice before she
could believe it wasn't all real.
The milk wagon held her attention.
It WAS drawn up in front Of palatlal

Figures of Interest

The education department has spent the most money during the eight months of the fiscal year end- ing Nov. 30, the report of Borough Clerk Charles F. Daly shows. Of it's appropriation of $208,900, this department has spent $131, ,688.O7 and has $77,2ll.93 left.
 Other departmental expenses so far are: general administration $iO6,610.77 appropriated; $63, ,92839 spent: $32,6S2.38 balance; public safety, $695SS.90 appropriated: $4,- 865.58 expended; $24, ,723,32 balance; health and sanitation, $500 appro- priated. $3,Ss2.22 spent; $1,7l7.7S left; works, $75,000 appropriated; $54, 4,6S7. .86 spent; 20,362.14 left; spec cial appropriations, $3,422.l6 appro- priated; $l,52S.89 spent; $l,S9S.27 left.
 No figures for the welfare depart- nent expenses this month were available. The report of expenses of the public works department in- dicates that unless future expenses are sliced, there will be a deficit in that department. The average monthly expense using the eight month figure as basis, has been $6,82o.73 and if this were main- tained for the next four months 1t would require an outlay of $27,3i8.92.
 However there is only $20,362.l4 left, which would indicate 2 $7,000 deficit in this department. If hea- " winter results, expenses for rec moyal of snow will add to the rou- tine costs of the department.
 There are indications of surplus in the special appropriations de- partment and the end of the fiscal year, March 3l and 1t is expected most of the other departments will at least have no deficit.
