WHOLESALE INDEX
SAGS TO new Low
Fertilizer Association Estimates
Average at 1855. Against
76.8 Week Ago.

A new low point in the current re-
cession in wholesale commodity prices
was reached in the week ended Feb
ruary -, according to the index COM
piled by the National Fertilizer Asso-
citation. This index last week dropped
to 766 from 768 in the preceding
week. A month ago the index stood
at 7s5 and a year ago at 1854. based
on the 1926-1928 average as 100
Declines were registered during the
week by six of the principal group in
dexes, although the changes in most
cases were slight. The sharpest drop
was in the foods group. taking the
group index to the lowest point reached
in nearly four years.
In spite of the fact that most price
changes in the farm product group
were upward the group index showed
small decline: a continuation of the
rise in cotton prices. taking the cotton
index to the highest point reached
since last September. and higher prices
for grains were more than offset by
declines in hogs eggs and poultry.
A fractional drop in the index of
textile prices was brought about by
lower quotations for cotton goods,
wool, grains and coarse fibers.
Lower quotations for steel scrap
lead and zinc caused another down.
turn in the metal price index: the re-
duction announced last week in steel
sheets is not yet reflected in the index.
Fractional declines were also regis
tered last week by the indexes repre-
senting the prices of building ma
terials and of miscellaneous COM
moGities.

DROP IS FORECAST
NFARM INCOME
Curta!Iment Indicated, With
Prices OF 22 Per Cent
From Year Ago.
DEC: al Dispatch to The Star,


NEW YORK. Feb. l5.-Total farm
cash income amounted to s8.52l. .O00,-
900 in 1887. as compared with $780,
100000 in 1886. an increase of 76 per
cent. Last year represented the fifth
consecutive year of expansion. a period
in which farm income practically
doubled. according to the Alexander
Hamilton Institute.
Income at the low for the depression
in 1892 amounted to S4,328, ,000, 900
Farm income in 1887 was larger than
in any year since 1929. but it was 1877
per cent below the 1929 figure of
s10.47s.Oo0.00
The increase in farm income from
1896 to 1887 was more than sufficient
to offset a rise in the prices of goods
which farmers bought The increase
in the farmers purchasing power.
however, amounting to only 1.8 per
cent, was at much lower rate than
in the previous four years.
Current evidence continues to sup
port the prospect that farm income in
1888 will be substantially smaller than
in 1887. The price index of farm
products dropped in January to a new
low for the current decline, and present
weakness indicates further decrease
in February.
The price level in January was 22.l
per cent lower than in the same month
last year. when the prices of farm
products reached their recovery peak.
This decrease was accompanied by
drop Of only 81 per cent in the prices
of goods which the farmers bought.
There is thus indicated not only
curtailment of farm income this year,
but a decrease in the farmers pur-
chasing power. A reduction in indus
trial activity is always a sequel to
curtailment of the farmers buying
power.
