new WAR BUYING
SENDS PRICES Up
Autumn Boom In Factory Ac.
tlvlty Is Heralded By
Spring Purchases
By FRANK M'NIIILEN

NEW YORK, April 20. - Up,
commodity prices, among the first
TO herald the autumn boom in fac
tory activity, pointed Upward TODAY
on a new wave of war buying.
In markets tinged with war spec.
ulatlon' wheat, corn, hogs, sugar,
RUBBER and other staples moved
higher this week and some sold
at the best quotations recorded in
two years or more.
Rising tendencies continued in
today's brief trading session on
commodity exchanges, causing some
analysts to look for a late spring
industrial upturn.
The advance in farm prices, it
was pointed out, means expanded
purchasing power for the rural
consumer if the gains hold. In ad-
dltlon, an uptrend in raw material
costs was counted a potential
stimulus to renewed inventory buy
ing by manufacturers and dealers.
The first stampede of war buying
in September was followed by one
of the quickest upswings in fac
tory production on record in this
country. Industry, however, yielded
all the autumn war gains as re-
suit of the winters lull in new
buying and decline in untitled or
ders on factory books.
The spring upturn in commodi-
ties started on the news of the
German drive into Scandinavia,
opening a northern theatre for
fighting and raising fear of more
aggression in the Balkans and the
Mediterranean.
