Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON,


NEW YORK, April 2.-Giving
ground before the same wave of
liquidation that swept stock prices to
the lowest levels in fve years, COM
modities tumbled to a new low for the
year this week.
The Associated Press weighted index
of 35 important wholesale staples
slumped to 1884 per cent of the 1926
average. lowest since October, 1894.
This compared with 6919 last week
and 97.44 year ago
The comparable week in 1887 was
the highest reached during the re-
covery swing The intervening year,
therefore, wiped out approximately
one-third of the value of these COM
modities.
Every important group pushed to
new lows for the year or longer this
week except live stock. which. al
though slipping, held above it's Febru-
airy bottom.
Rubber Goes Down.
Industrial staples we're hardest hit.
Rubber plunged more than 2 cents a
pound to less than IL cents, the lowest
level since thescurrent restriction pro-
gram was put into effect in June,
1884. The crash was touched off by
the failure of the International Con-
troll Committee to cut allowances of
producing areas
Steel scrap quotations also eased
slightly as mills refrained from buying
in an effort to work off heavy stocks
of both ore and scrap. Bituminous
coal. tin, linseed oil and burlap con-
Cured in the weakness.
Meager demand and continued un-
wieldy inventories caused a further
contraction in textile prices; declines
in cotton cloth and silk more than off,
setting modest improvement in wool.
Farm Products Mixed.
Farm products were mixed. Grains
were approximately in balance with
wheat and rye advancing, corn and
oats slipping. Cotton gave ground
with mill operations again
