Wholesale Commodity
Index at 5-Year Low

A decline in the wholesale COM
modify price index compiled by the
National Fertilizer Association last
week took it to the lowest point
reached since October, 1884.
This index in the week ended
July % stood at 71.2 per cent of the
1926-1928 average, compared with
71.6 in the preceding week, TT a
month ago, 74.6 year ago and 1876
two years ago. The high point for
1889 was 1873, recorded in the first
week of the year.
Last weeks drop in the all-com-
modify index was due to declines in
quotations for farm products and
foods, with the average for indus
trial commodities tending to move
upward.
With 10 items in the food group
declining in price and only one ad-
vancing the group index showed a
moderate decline, but it is still above
the level reached in June.
Farm product prices were gener-
ally lower last week, with the cot
ton, grain and live stock averages
all moving downward. The grain
price index, now less than half of
the 1926-1928 average, is at the low
est point reached since June, 1888.
While the trend of farm products
and foods was generally downward
during the week advances were
scored by lumber, steel scrap, hides,
rubber and silk.
