Firmer Commodity Prices
Forecast by Service
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Feb. 27.-The down.
drift in commodity prices has about
run its course, and a moderate ris-
ing trend should be evident in COM
ing weeks, says the United Business
Service in its latest weekly report.
Ever since President Roosevelt
started to talk down" prices in
April, 1887, average quotations have
been in a gradual decline. To
many this may seem paradoxical, in
view of the strong business recovery
last summer and fall. However, an
advance in commodity prices has
nearly always Jagged behind major
business revivals in the past.
Eight months have now elapsed
since economic recovery started.
What is more, business appears to
be on the threshold of a further
substantial upswing. Orders on the
books of manufacturers are now in
creasing, following the sharp de-
clines in November and December.
This is preliminary to the usual
spring expansion in activity, which
will be accompanied by a general
broadening out in consumer pur-
chases.
Prices on the whole are relatively
low, an early pickup in demand is

For 1889 Months
Editor Believes Rate
Will Be Between 1888
And 1887 Levels
Srecial Dispatch to The Star.

Srecial Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Textile mill
activity about half way between
1887 and 1888 is predicted for 1899
by Douglas G. Woolf, editor of Tex
tile World. in the annual review and
forecast number of that publication,
which will be out this week. This
would mean a rate the same as
1929, and approximately IS per cent
above the 1923-1925 average. Com
menting on the outlook, Mr.. Woolf
states:
1T is a more pleasant task pre-
dieting for 1899 than it was for 1898.
A year ago, the business world was
completely loa in fog. He'll had
broken loose in the fall of the previ-
GUS year. Stock prices had COL
lapsed, and the industrial structure
followed suit. A boom was changed
over night to another depression.
No one seemed to know whether or
not we were in for another 1929-l933
siege. 1t was recognized that, at
the very least, the first half of the
year would be tough going.
This year. the situation is COM
pletely reversed The second depres-
sion has been arrested. recovery is
definitely under way, and the out
look in general business is for a con-
tinued upward movement for the
first half at least, with no reason
to expect a recession in the last half.
All this is with the usual qualifica-
ton about the wild men of Europe,
of course.
Textiles not only should share
in this continued recovery, but
should pace it. Nineteen hundred
and thirty-nine is slated as the good
year in the two-year textile cycle
Also. inventories in most quarters
are low, and any real demand should
justify good production rate.
I'VE shall try to put this predic-
ton in hard. cold figures. For 1899
we would expect textile mill activity
to run about half way between
1887 and 1888 Since the former was
l25 and the latter 103, both on the
basis of 1923-1925 average as 100,
that would mean about lis for 1899
incidentally, it would mean a rate
the same as 1929, if that means any
thing nowadays"

a base is forming from which prices

reasonable to expect that present
