WHOLESALE INDEX
ADVANCES IN WEEK
Fertilizer Association Reports
Average at 74.4, Against 74.0
in Previous Period,

The sharpest advance since last
January took place in the general
level Of wholesale commodity prices
last week. according to the index COM
piled by the National Fertilizer Asso-
ciation This index in the week ended
May IA. rose to 744 per cent of the
l926-l928 average from TAO in the
week preceding.
With the exception of the two weeks
Immediately preceding, the index last
week was at the lowest point reached
in the current recession. A year ago
the index stood at 87.3. and the 1887
high point was 888.
Last weeks advance in the all-com-
modify index reflected rising prices for
farm products and foods. with the
average for all other commodities re-
naming unchanged. In spite Of the
report issued during the week indi-
eating an unusually large winter
wheat crop this year. the price Of
wheat advanced Prices OF other
grains, cotton and livestock were also
moderately higher, resulting In an up
turn in the index of farm product
prices.
Foodstuff price trends were mixed
with about as many items declining
as advancing, but the increases in such
important commodities as beef, eggs,
flour and coffee we're sufficient to
raise the group index to the highest
point reached in the last month
Fractional increases were registered
by the indexes Of textiles and miscel-
laneous commodities. In the metal
group an upturn in tin offset drop
in zinc. The only group indexes to
move downward during the week were
those representing the prices Of
building materials and fertilizer
materials.

6Nelu DISpatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, May 17-Basic con-
ditions, after slight turn for the
better. have suffered a relapse, ac-
cording to the Alexander Hamilton
Institute. The estimate Of this years
normal demand for steel has beeR re-
duced from 37.7 per cent Of capacity
last week to a new low of 369 per
cent.
Although last weeks actual rate OF
output, at 30.7 per cent of capacity,
was still subnormal, production has
eased of this week, for the fourth
consecutive time. to 304 per cent.
The outlook is that last years over
expansion will continue to keep the
output at subnormal rate for a while
longer.
The index of business income re-
ceded to new low of 1853 in the week
ending April 80 from 1873 in the pre-
ceding week. This drop was only
partly offset by decline in the index
Of business expenses from 85.5 TO 85.l
The recent trend toward a smaller
deficit was consequently reversed
thus postponing return 10 profitable
operations.
The index of expenses exceeded the
index of income by 83 points in the
last week as against 10 points in the
previous week.
For the week ending April 80 TIE
price index of farm products, which
reflects the national income. dropped
to new low for the current recession.
The price index of manufactured
goods failed to show a corresponding
decline. The purchasing power index
consequently fell to new low Of 1875
from ISL in the previous week this
indicating further deepening Of the

Purge Victims Not Likely to Forget All Resentment
for Roosevelt's Opposition.

as incorrect about the third term
and its successful attainment as he
was about the purge, however.
Senator Guffey commented that
Maryland, South Carolina and Georgia
are the most "reactionary' States in
the Union, implying that was the
reason the President was defeated in
his attempt to defeat the anti-New
Deal Senators. 1t is fact, however,
that all three of those States piled
up huge majorities for President in
1896. 1t is further fact, that if the
President tried his purge in any of
the other States. which Senator Guf-
fey may consider more progressive,
like Missouri, Colorado. Indiana and
Nevada. the defeat would have been
even greater.
The Pennsylvania Senator has a
tough job this year on his own door,
step-to retain Pennsylvania in the
list Of Democratic States. He does
not come up for reelection himself
this year. That happens in 1910.
But Guf1ey has been named cam
paign manager for the Democratic
ticket in Pennsylvania-heade by
Jones for Governor and Earle for
Senator-a ticket which GufYey fought
in the Pennsylvania primary cam
paign.
Earle Under Fire.
The Earle administration has been
under fire-and Earle himself on
charges of bribery and corruption. A
legislative committee is holding an in
vestigation now, with charges of SELL
Ing beer legislation, of huge sums paid
as "kickbacks" by contractors, under
scrutiny. Earle himself has lost
ground with many Democrats in the
State. At one time proclaimed as a
presidential possibility, two years
hence the Governor has slipped i'm
pressively.
Gufiey and other Democratic lead
ers are counting on the influence of
the Administrators huge spending
program to put the Democratic cam.
paign across in November. This spend
ing program, however, failed miserably
to impress the Democrats in MARYLAND,
Tor example, when the President
sought to defeat Senator Tydings for
denomination. 1t may fail in Penn
sylvania when the voters 90 to the
polls to decide between the Demo-
cratic and Republican candidates. Sem
ator James j. (Jimmy) Davis is the
q. 0. P. candidate against Earle. 1t
looks to many observers as though
Davis had good chance to win. The
same Is true in the gubernatorial race,
The loss OF Pennsylvania this year
would be real blow to New Deal
prestige. Undoubtedly every effort will
be made to prevent such a catastro-
phe. The bitter clash among the
Democrats themselves. however, when
Senator Guffey was denied the cover
norship nomination, and when he was
unwilling to go along with Earle and
David Lawrence, the State chairman,
and others in the nomination of Jones,
may yet have its effect.
