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

Associated Press statistlcian.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22-Commodity
prices slumped this week to the lowest
level since mid 1885. Losses for the
most part were moderate.
Industrial staples continued the
brightest spot in the list being the only
major group to gain over last week
Even in this category however, there
was a divergence of trend. The non.
ferrous metals reacting under thu
leadership of copper.
Farm goods and food. on the other
hand. were practically unanimous in
seeking lower levels.
The Associated Press weighted index
of IS important wholesale commodity
prices fell to 73.4S per cent of the 1926
average from TAOS last week and COM
pared with 1912 in the same period a
year ago.
Live Stock Down.
Live stock quotations slipped into
new low ground for the past two years
as declines in cattle and lambs out
weighed a fractional improvement in
hogs. The fact porkers have man
aged to rise while other live stock
pointed lower during recent weeks is
said by commodity men to be the re-
suit of natural forces. Hogs require
a shorter period to reach maturity
than the others, hence control of the
number reaching market is effective
more quickly.
Grains and cotton receded narrowly
as retail demand continued to slide.
Corn, wheat and rye all eased
slightly.
Foods were 2-to-1 on the downside,
with eggs, sugar, cocoa and flour fall
ing back, and lard and butter push
ing up.
Textiles Also Lower.
Textiles were generally lower; silk
and rayon more than offsetting a
small advance in wool.
Rubber, bituminous coal, steel scrap
and turpentine we're higher among
the raw materials of industry. Bur-
lap, tin and copper were weak.

based on 1925 as 100, compared as

Intensified Drought Over
Large Areas Results in
Gain of Cent.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO, Jan. %. - Intensified
drought over large areas of domestic
crop territory, the Southwest In par
ticular, \gave cent a bushel lift to
Chicago wheat prices today.
The moisture received by United
States dry areas this week was gen.
orally deemed insufficient for wheat
plant needs. Besides, the weekly on
cial forecast pointed to probability Of
only light moisture next week.
Evidence that the peak of the sea-
sons crop movement in Australia had
been passed was likewise an aid toward
higher prices here for wheat. A de-
crease of 1,000,0 900 bushels in the Aus
tralian wheat visible supply total, the
flrst notable falling off since the har-
vest began, received considerable at
tention. together with rise of ocean
freight rates from Australia.
At the close, Chicago wheat futures
were at about the days top level, \,

knife is a cutting tool, not screw
driver. can opener or hammer
Beware of the dull knife - it is
more dangerous than a sharp one
And stay away from knife with a
loose handle.
Above all, use your head whenever
you handle sharp implements. because
fingers and toes are hard to replace.
And it, no trick at all for an eighth
of-an-inch scratch to develop into
six foot grave!
