| Stock Exchange
Wants Rent
| Reduction
,y the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June THE stock
exchange is threatening to give up
half its famous S7O0O00O building
on the corner of Broad and Wall
streets-the front half, with the
great colonnade facing j. P. Morgan
& Co.-to reduce expenses.
The exchange in these thin times
Is running into debt at the rate of
81 100000 a year William McChesney
Martin, jr, president, looking around
for ways to cut costs, thought the
exchange was paying too much rent
for the Board street half of the
property it lies on. (The exchange
owns outright the New street, or
rear, half.
So Mr.. Martin has asked the heirs
of Matthew A. Wilks, son-in-law of
Hetty Green, owners of the front
lot, to reduce the more than 100000
annual rental now paid for that lot.
If they don't, Mr.. Martin intimated,
the heirs might have a present of
that front part, including about
half of the trading floor, and they
could just try to make a go of it.
The traders would then coop them
selves up in the dark back half.
Wall Street generally was inclined
to take this threat as joke, but a
spokesman for Mr.. Martin said he
was seriously considering it, if the
rent isn't reduced.

Commodity Price Index
Falls to New Low

Declining for the fourth con-
secutive week, the wholesale com
modify price index compiled by the
National Fertilizer Association
dropped last week to the lowest point
reached since 1884. The index in the
week ended June stood at 70 per
cent of the 1926-1928 average, COM
pared with 1928 in the preceding
week, 72.7 a month ago and 1873 a
year ago. The highest point reached
by the index in the recovery period
was 1873, in July, 1887.
Foodstuff prices were somewhat
lower during the week with the food
price index sagging to the year S
low point. Another decline in live
stock quotations combined with a
drop in cotton resulted in a drop in
the farm product group average
The grain index, unchanged from
the preceding week, was at the
highest level reached this year. De-
clines were also registered by the
group indexes representing the
prices of textiles and miscellaneous
commodities. The only index to
move upward during the week was
the fuel average, rejecting higher
prices for anthracite coal. Although
steel scrap and tin moved higher,
the increases were not sufficient to
change the metal price index.
Nineteen price series included in
the index declined during the week
and II advanced; in the preceding
week there were 16 declines and Is
advances; In the second preceding
week there were Is declines and q
advances.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June Requests
for revision of the Wagner labor
law were called perhaps the most
important industrial news Of the
week" by Iron Age Magazine today.
The steel industry publication
said
steel ingot production has gained
another point to SO per cent, the
highest level since the first week
OF April, while scrap prices again
have strengthened, the Iron Age
composite price gaining rs cents to
S1146.
Perhaps the most important in
dustrlal news of the week is a re-
quest by the American Iron and
Steel Institute, representing steel
manufacturers which have signed
labor contracts with John l.. Lewis,
S. w. o. c. and others which have
not, for drastic revisions of the
Wagner Act.
IN an unanimous appeal for
labor act revisions, the steel pro-
oucers seek to restore free speech to
employers, prevent a monopoly by
national labor organizations, and
block attempts to link the right to
work with compulsory payment of
union dues.
Meanwhile, spreading strikes in
plants of the automobile industry
leading outlet for steel-supported
the Institutes position that the
Wagner Act must be amended. -.
While new business in the
domestic market is unimpressive
unlike that in England, where pig
iron output has been lifted to a new
tWo-year peak and some steel prod
ucts required as much as four
months for delivery, railroad de-
mand for steel shows signs of re-
vlvlng and the Government ship
building program is gaining mo-
mentum."
