Wholesale Commodity
Index Down Slightly

There was small decline in the
general level of wholesale commod-
ity prices in the week ended Feb
ruary II, according to the index
compiled by the National Fertilizer
Association. This index dropped to
72.7 from 1913 in the preceding week
A year ago this index was 1856
based on the 1926-1928 average as
100. The index last week was at the
lowest point reached in 1899. The
1888 low point was 1913.
Lower prices for foods were
largely responsible for the decline in
the all-commodity index. With 13
items in the food group declining
and only three advancing, the group
average dropped below 10 for the
first time since 1884. The trend OF
farm product prices was also down.
ward, with the cotton and grain in
dexes making new lows for 1899.
There was a moderate rise in the
live stock average. A small gain was
registered by the textile price aver
age, rejecting higher quotations
for silk and burlap. The index rep
resenting the prices of miscellaneous
commodities was off slightly as the
result of declines in rubber and cot
tonseed meal.
The average for all commodities
except farm products and foods
showed a fractional rise for the
week.

found the going a bit heavy in to-
days market, and the majority slip
ped fractions to around 2 points at
the worst.
A little speculative nibbling in the
hnal hour, however, enabled most
leaders to reduce extreme declines,
and there was handful of modest
gains in evidence when the closing
gong sounded.
Exceptional lightness of dealings
was a feature of the proceedings.
