Wholesale Commodity
Index Moves Lower

Wholesale commodity prices were
still receding last week according to
the index compiled by the National
Fertilizer Association, which regis
tered its seventh consecutive de-
cline. This index in the week ended
June IS was 749, compared with
ISL in the preceding week, 76.5
month ago and 7l.6 year ago. based
on the 1926-1928 average as 100.
The decline in the all-commodity
index last week was due mainly to
lower prices for livestock and food
stuffs as the average for all conf
modities except farm products and
foods registered slight increase.
Lower quotations for meats, pota-
toes, oranges and bread took the
food price average to the lowest
level reached since early in Sep
tember.
Although declines and advances
in farm product prices were evenly
balanced there was a small recess
sion in the group index. In the mis-
cellaneouS commodities group an
upturn in the price of rubber was
not sufficient to offset lower quota
tions for hides, cattle feed and paper
board, the resulting drop took the
index to new low point for the
year.
Declines were also registered by
the indexes representing the prices
of fertilizers and building materials.
The textile index turned upward
East week, the result of higher prices
for cotton, wool, woolen yarns and
raw silk. Rising quotations for steel
scrap, silver and tin caused an
other advance in the metal price
