COMMODITY PRICE
RALLY WATCHED
Spot Markets Have Pushed
Upward Steadily in
Current Month.
By GEORGE r. HUGHES.

NEW YORK, June is (N.A.N.A.).-
It has not attracted much notice in the
flood Of unfavorable developments, but
the current rally In commodity prices
deserves more than passing notice.
The fact is that in not q single day
this month have spot commodities, az
measured by the Moody Index. de-
clined. They have either held steady
or have advanced.
On June l, the index stood at 1901,
and, at the close on June IA, 1t was
1850, an advance Of almost points.
Almost as good showing is that Of the
Dow-Jones Index of commodity fu-
lures. It has advanced also on every
day In June SO far, with one excep-
ton. At 47.63 at the close June IA, II
compared with 4573 on the first of the
month and 45.03 at the low of May
which was also the low Of the depres.
sion.
Wheat Increase Plays Part.
A good part OF these gains is the
result Of the improvement in agricul-
tural prices. in particular wheat. The
bears in wheat have had the field to
themselves 50 long that they became
overconfident, and, when the Govern
ment's June forecast came out with
a prediction Of production much un-
der the average Of the estimates of
the private experts and only slightly
above the official May l figure, an ex-
tensive covering movement was begun
Then reports Of damage to the ma
turing crop in the Southwest, coming
thick and fast. completed the confu-
sion of the shorts.
In recent sessions wheat has
jumped around violently, but with .
net advance which carried the Sep
tember delivery in Chicago across the
S0-cent mark. in contrast with the
low Of under 50 cents. Now it is quite
obvious that this price advance is not
founded upon expectation Of imitation,
monetary manipulation Of any kind
or anything that the Government has
done or proposes to do, but simply is
the correction Of overoptimistic crop
expectations.
Long Time Indices Vary.
The more comprehensive indices
the preparation Of which REQUIRES 4
longer time, are more irregular, but
suggest a leveling on OF the long de-
cline. The Fisher index, based on the
average for 1926 as par, is up frac-
tionally on the latest report, but the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics compilation
is again slightly lower.
The feature of the B. L. s. report
as has been previously pointed out
in this column. is the relatively greater
decline in farm products than in COM
modities as q whole. The inference
is that this discrepancy will be ironed
out. partially at least, If the rise In
agricultural staples continues.
Another interesting fact Is the con-
ttnued decline In the price Of building
materials. These are now figured at
9002, against 97.o . year ago at this
time. The average Is now down to
the lowest since late 1896. and should
theoretically stimulate construction.
