Commodity Prices
Have Been Forced
Down By Dumping
Humiliation of Holdings
Reached Peak Friday;
Cotton Down 81
By MAX BUCKINGHAM

New York. April IS. U.P-Com-
modities throughout the Wor!o
have slumped hundreds Of hitl-
lions of dollars in value IN tIle
last two weeks because Specula-
tors have dumped their hoIolhsS-
There are many reasons Tor 'ile
selling. but the outstanding IacV
is that most of the markets were
overbought and needed only all
adverse development 10 orlns
realizing. There were many ao-
verse developments and tneS
brought selling that upset price
structures even in securities.
Extent of the losses is shown
in the fact that wheat prices are
down about Is cents a ouShel
from their highs. corn about ten
cents a bushel. cotton around 81
a bale. copper more than ll2
cents a pound lower. lead about
1a4 cents a pound lower. tin
about ten cents a pound, Anc
about one-half cent a pound, ruo-
ber around five cents a pound ana
hides around two cents a pound.
Selling gained the greatest mo-
mcntum last week-centerlng on
heavy HouidatiOn Friday.
European selling led the decline
in which all world centers par
ticipated. Market students aScrlpe
the liquidation to such factors
as:
l. Warning by President Roose-
vels he would switch government
buying from durable to consumer
goods to- stop the rise in COM
modities. This was accompanied
by similar views Of cabinet ottl-
GERS and by reporCS-otticially de-
nied-that the United States gold
price would be lowered. In addl-
ticn there were official adylceS
in Great Britain to tighten specu-
lative activities.
2. Much of the commodity spec
ulation had been built en- the
theory that Europe was headed
for war. that the nations would
have to stock up on food and war
materials. thus bringing a boom.
Less tension last week over the
Spanish situation changed the
war views and resulted in hquida-
ton of these Speculatively bought
war commodities.
3. Many European commodity
traders also are active in the
London stock market. Security
prices there have declined recent
". These traders face heavy Sc
curity losses when the account
period expires next week. They
need cash 10 meet these losses
and. therefore. have sold COM
mcdities 10 obtain it. This
brought the reaction in the Amer
lean market.
4. BritCns are worried over the
budget TO be announced this
week. They fear an income tax
will be necessary because OF heavy
expenditures for armament.
But Wall Street is not beariSh,
despite the break in commodities,
Security market operators point
ed out that the stock market had
acted well in all CT the cOmmod-
ity uncertainty. Trading slowed
down to the lghteSt level this
year and prices were erratic. but
narrowly so and without any
signs of liquidation. This gave
rise to belief that the stock mar
keC was Scraplng bottom and soon
may start a steady advance.
The view On commodities is not
certain. The markets are still
nervous. But many believe that
the various prevailing elements
that point to indation-govern-
ment spending, unbalanced bud
get, etc.-are sufficient to make
commodities favorable in addition
to the fact that world scarcity in
food commodities has not been
avoided.
