WHOLESALE INDEX
ADvANCES|NW WEEK
Fertilizer Association Finds
F.. Average at 74.2, Against
74.1 in Previous Week.

There was . slight rise in the whole
sale price level in the week ended
July 2, according to the commodity
price index compiled by the National
Fertilizer Association.
This index last week rose to 74.2
from TAI in the preceding week. A
month ago the index stood at 1913 and
year ago at 88.3, based on the 1926
1928 average as 100.
Higher prices for foods and live
stock were largely responsible fol. the
upturn in the commodity index. The
rise in the food price index took it to
the highest level recorded since last
March.
In the farm product group higher
prices for cotton and livestock were
SUFFICIENT to Offset another decline In
grain prices. With the exception of
the first week in June, the grain price
average last week was at the lowest
level reached in the current decline.
An upturn in the fuel price average
resulted from q mark-up in gasoline
quotations. Textiles were generally
higher, with all fibers as we'll as cer-
tain cotton goods registering increases.
Non-ferrous metals. including cop
per, tin, lead and zinc, as well as steel
scrap, rose in price, but the effect of
these increases was much more than
offset In the metal group by the de-
cline In steel and iron.
Lower prices for structural steel,
nails and oak flooring caused a de-
cline In the building material index.
A moderate advance in the chemical
and drug average reflected higher
prices for alcohol.

OIL FIRMS FACE

u the Associated FreSS.
AUSTIN, Tex, July 6-The oil in
dustry enters the second half of the
year with signs of general improve
nent.
Continued curtailment of produc-
ton, the beginning of the peak period
Of gasoline consumption and indica-
tions of possible business upturn
have combined to create at least a
statistical improvement.
The industry pointed to these fac
tors as favorable elements in bringing
supply and demand into balance.
Crude stocks are 81 per cent lower
than year ago. A reduction in gaso-
line supplies of 100000 barrels for
the week ended June IS brought motor
tuel IN storage to level only 94 per
cent greater than year ago.
Fuel oil stocks have shown a sea-
sonal increase. and were 37.2 per cent
greater than year ago, but there was
belief in some quarters fall consump-
ton would cut heavily into these in
ventories. A stock market advance
and reduction in steel prices were
considered possible indications of a
business upturn which might include
greater demands for fuel oil.
Crude Oil and gasoline markets gen.
orally remained firm last week
The Oil and Gas Journal reported a
decline of 32.906 barrels daily in pro-
duction Of the Nations oil wells for
the week ended July O. The average
daily production was 3,046, ,483.

OUTLOOK BETTER
|NPA|NT INDUSTRY
Nets Likely to Remain Below
1887 for Time, but
Sales Gain.
sreeial Dispatch to The star.


NEW YORK, July ,6.-Although
earnings In the paint and varnish
industry for the near term are ex-
pected to remain below the level Of
last year. the Improvement in home
construction has provided q stimulus
in recent weeks, according to Poor's
Stock reports. The Governments huge
relief spending. and lending program
may stimulate general business con-
ditions sufnciently to initiate a sus-
tanned uptrend In paint sales later
this year.
Residential building awards In 81
Eastern States, Is compiled by F. w.
Dodge Corp, rose to $50. 900 in
May, and came within per cent Of
the figure for the same period last
year." continues the report. This
contrasts with decline Of 26 per cent
for the first five months. Awards
for the near term may well exceed
last years level, although resumption
Of q marked uptrend will not be
assured until the general business out
look has shown further Improvement.
Despite the stimulus provided by
increased residential building activity,
the total demand for paint is likely
to remain restricted for some time
as result Of continued curtailed
operations in other important paint
consuming industries. Automobile
production will remain substantially
below last years level, until the in
PRODUCTION of 1899 models, at least.
Furthermore. no sharp pickup is in
dicated in demand from the railroad
equipment industry, until q marked
improvement takes place in the out
look for the Nations leading carriers.
This curtailment in demand will
result in decreased earnings of the
paint and varnish industry fer the
first half of 1898, compared with the
first six months Of 1887. Over the
next few months, volume will prob
ably remain below the level of q year
ago. but more encouraging compari-
sons are expected during the latter
part Of the year."

NEW YORK, July e.-The Nominate
ing Committee Of the New York Stock
Exchange proposed today that Edward
e. Bartlett, jr. be nominated for elec-
ton as chairman Of the Board Of
Governors to MI out the unexpired
term Of william McC. Martin, IT., who
assumed the exchange presidency on
July /.
The election will be ileld on july 20.
Bartlett, a governor Of the exchange
since 1880. is a special partner in the
frm Of E. A. Pierce q Co., which was
active in sponsoring reform Of ex-
change administration in face Of op-
position Of the so-called "Old Guard''
faction.
The nominee for the championship
Is 50 years old and q native New
Yorker. He was president Of the New
York Cotton Exchange from 1928 to
1928 and still Is member Of that
organization.
1t was expected the Bartlett candi-
dacy would have no opposition in
the July election. He will take over
the duties Of the newly created once
with the full backing Of the exchange
reform" faction. which promoted the
nomination of the 31-year-old Martin
for the Craftsmanship and later per-
suaded him to become the first paid
full-time president Of the exchange.
In exchange circles the Bartlett
nomination was viewed as fitting In
nicely with the peace and harmony
program evolved by Martin and his
Board Of Governors in their relations
with the Securities and Exchange Com
mission. Under this new code the
exchange expects to work out internal
problems with the s. E. c. by round.
table method, plan accepted whole.
heartedly by William o. Douelas
S. E. C. chairman.
Bartlett's partner. E. A. Pierce. Is
credited in Wall Street with having
worked effectively to bring about cor
dial relations between the exchange
and the s. E. c. in place OF the some.
what strained relations which marked
earlier contacts. He was a FREQUENT
visitor to S. E. c. headquarters in
washington during the last year or so.
Pierce also played an important part
IN the exchange reorganization plan,
which was adopted early this year.
