SHARP RISE SEEN

March Volume Increases 81
Per Cent Over Total for

NEW YORK, April 16.-Showing a
greater than usual seasonal increase,
construction contracts in the 81 States
east Of the Rocky Mountains rose 81
per cent in March over the February
volume, the F. w. Dodge Corp, build
ing statisticians, reported today.
With this boost the figures closely
approached the level OF March, 1887.
Total for the month was 1926, ,9l8,-
900 for all classes of construction
against $ll8,945,OOO in February and
1921 ,246 900 In March. 1887.
Residential building, amounting to
$79,396, 900 was SO per cent ahead Of
the previous month. The volume was
down II per cent from March last
year, but in contrast, the survey pointS
ed out, January residential contracts
were 81 per cent under the same
month last year and February SO per
cent behind.
Increased F. H. A. mortgage ap-
plcations and numerous planned
large-scale housing projects" said the
survey, nave not yet been reflected
in the contract record. and these
factors give promise of continued
rises in contract volume in later
months"
Non residential building involved
$878,823000, a gain of 81 per cent
over February. Public works and
utilities with total of $50, 9,699, 900
rose 96 per cent over the February

portions. Public activity amounted

Commodity Price
Changes for Week

New York. April Commodities
dipped further this week, although
agricultural staples and textiles breasts
ed the receding tide for modest gains.
The Associated Press weighted index
Of IS important wholesale commodity
prices fell to the lowest level in four
years, with industrial raw materials
setting pace for the recession.
At 67.76 per cent of the 1926 aver
age, the index compared with 68l6
last week and 1926 a year ago.
Also punching down into new low
ground were several important groups
Of commodities; food, industrial and
non-ferrous metals. In each case
trade commentators pointed to heavy
and rising-inventories as potent
depressant, demand having shown lit
tie variation from the. slack level OF
recent years.
Some Under Pressure.
Although rubber, lumber and zinc
forged ahead moderately, ranking in
dustrial staples such as steel scrap
hides, tin, lead, burlap and turpentine
were under pressure.
Live stock quotations suffered one
of the widest breaks in recent months
hogs, cattle and lambs concurring in
the slump. Here again increasing
available supplies were generally con-
sidered to have been the club that
drove prices down.
The trend among market-basket
items was mixed. Substantial setbacks
in eggs. sugar and butter, however
outweighed upturns in cocoa, -four and
lard
Also mixed were grains. wheat and
oats advancing and corn and rye CIV

ing factor in esta blishing an increased
agricultural price index. The upswing
in this staple reflected improved mill
buying as steps were taken to slash
production and bring it more in line

LONDON MARKETS

Bonds, Stocks and Commodities
Join Broad Upturn in Final
Week Before Easter.
By Wireless to The Star,

By Wireless to The Star.
LONDON, April 16.-The week be-
fore Easter in the London markets,
traditionally dull and idle, has belied
its reputation by staging an almost
universal advance in bonds, stocks and
commodities.
The most effective lever operating
the upward swing has been covering
purchases by short SPECTATORS but
brokers report welcome, although
small-scale, revival in buying inquiries
from small investors, particularly from
provincial centers. Interpretation is
that sentiment has moved from op-
pressive war fears to vague peace
hopes. motivated by daily growing ex-
pectations of the usefulness of the
prospective Anglo-Italian agreement
toward creating a firmer base of Euro
pean assurance and the victory of
Premier Edouard Daladier, which is
deemed to set France at last on a
sounder political and economic road.
The London markets still retain a
very strong technical position and are
likely to respond rapidly to any big
good news
At the same time, happier short
term views of the European position
coincide with a growing belief that
President Roosevelt will stimulate
American recovery, even if for only
short term.
1t is noted here that, just a year
ago Roosevelt started to curb the
boom by deprecating the current
height of some of the leading COM
modify prices and the question is
asked whether the far more difficult
task Of curbing depression and re-
viving activity can be promoted by
White House action.
