WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today said the In
terstate Com m rec Commission
should seek to preserve solvency OF
the Nations railroads with view
of retaining them under private
management and ownership.
Discussing the financial situation
of the Nations carriers at a press
conference, the President said the
quicker a final determination is
reached on the application of the
railroads for higher freight rates
and passenger fares, the better it
will be all around.
The President said he wants to
avoid Government ownership but
at the same time he desired to re-
mind all that railroad receivers
could not continue without some
steps being taken to adjust a fl
nancial setup.
Yesterday, railroad systems in the
east, requested the ICC to grant re-
quests for Is percent freight in
crease and 2ia cents mile in
crease in passenger fares.

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


NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Commodity
prices plunged into new low ground
for the year or longer earlier this week
and then rallied sharply as buying
support entered the market.
At the low point in mid-week. the
Associated Press weighted index of IS
important wholesale spot quotations
was % per cent under the years high
point touched last April.
The index slipped fractionally to
1900 of the 1896 average at the close
OF the period from 76.14 the week be-
fore and compared with 85.43 a year
ago.
Inc excursion into new low territory
that has dominated staple prices in
recent months lost momentum. Foods.
textiles and on-ferrous metals alone
established fresh bottoms for the cur
rent move.
indeed, declines barely outnumbered
advances among commodities included
IN the index. there being l3 dips, IL
increases and 10 unchanged.
Mcct better Demand.
agricultural and industrial items
met good demand when prices scraped
bottom. Both groups were higher on
the week. Underlying the rally, COM
modify men said, was the dearth of
buying in recent weeks with the con-
sequent drop in available supplies.
making replacement orders necessary.
The relatively large setback in live
stock stemmed primarily from the
greater number of animals appearing
on the market. The tight supply DO
sltlon evident earlier this year has
worn off as the summers bumper
crops permitted larger shipments of
fattened animals A minor advance in
hogs was offset by slumps in cattle
and lambs.
Grains moved ahead on receipts of
crop deterioration in other producing
countries; wheat, oats and rye con-
curing. Corn eased slightly.
Cotton Prices Narrow.
Cotton moved narrowly as the trade
attempted to evaluate the effect of
the current harvest-the largest ever
gathered. Although recent world de-
mand for the staple has been good
under existing conditions, analysts
hold, the domestic situation is un-
settled by the trade recession.
