Wholesale Commodity
Average Turns Down

The wholesale commodity price
index compiled by the National Fer
tilizer Association declined last week
after advancing in each OF the five
preceding weeks.
This index in the week ended
September IA was 75.3 compared
with 759 in the preceding week, TAT
a month ago and 1853 a year ago,
based on the 1926-1928 average as
100. This is the first time since
the sharp rise in prices took place
in September, 1899, that the index
has been below the level of the cor
responding week of the preceding
year.
The decline in the all-commodity
index was due to lower quotations
for farm products and foodstuffs
In the farm product group II items
declined in price during the week
while only one advanced. The cot
ton index fell to the lowest point re-
corded this year.
The trend OF foodstuff prices was
downward. with meats and potatoes
showing the most important de-
clines. A slight rise was registered
by the index representing the prices
OF all commodities except farm
products and foods The building
material average rose to the highest
point reached since last winter.

Tobacco Sales Increase
Sharply at Baltimore
specisl Dispatch to The Star.

Srecial Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Sept. l1.-Although
receipts of Maryland leaf tobacco
at Baltimore during last week
showed another decrease, there was
substantial increase in sales. The
receipts totaled 694 hogsheads,
which was 429 hoesheads below the
total for the previous week. Sales,
however. jumped to 1890 hogsheads.
This was gain of 1876 hogsheads
over a week earlier. Prices con-
tinued unchanged.
Most tobacco farmers continued
cutting and housing during the last
week, but cool weather retarded
ripening somewhat. Many fields
have attained unusual size this
year. The present stock of Mary
land tobacco in warehouses totals
20,O30 hogSheadS. There were no
receipts or sales of the Ohio prod
uct and the warehouse stock re-
mains at "a hogsheads.
Quotations are as follows:

were sold during August at an aver
age price of 02523 per pound. In
July the sales totaled 4,011 hogs

Manufacturing building awards of
s39 $685. 900 were nearly four times

| Figures
What They Mean
By JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.


NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Congres-
sional delay over excess profits tax
legislation and plant amortization
provisions are holding up plans of
some corporations for financing
their share of the defense program,
Wall Street circles said today.
Underwriting houses believe many
firms will need additional capital
during the coming year both for
financing defense orders and for the
increase in normal. everyday busi-
ness under the stimulus of arms
spending
Excess profits and plant amorti-
zation legislation, however, must be
agreed on before capital plans can
be intelligently discussed, bankers
state. Several firms who were con-
sidering new financing have post
poned action until these matters
are concluded.
Underwriters point out that each
company must consider the effect
OF future excess profits taxes and
amortization allowances of its own
particular situation before it can
decide what type of financing will
be most desirable, if any.
In cases where excess profits taxes
prove exceedingly heavy, common
stock financing may be unattractive,
they say. The low earnings expec-
tatlon may depress a companv's
stock to a point where the manage
ment is not interested in selling anv
new shares. Under such circum-
stances, the company may prefer to
obtain the necessary funds through
bond financing or a bank loan.
Here another point comes up, how
ever. 1t must be considered how
bank borrowings or a bond issue will
be treated in calculating excess
profits allowances. In some cases
this may tip the balance in favor of
a stock issue, underwriters say.
Some concerns are going ahead
with their financing plans regardless
of what action Congress may take.
In two of the last three weeks cor
porate security issues for the pur-
pose of raising new capital have ex-
ceeded any other week in more than
a year. Underwriting circles believe,
however, that Is is only aD dribble
compared with volume which will
be forthcoming when the profits tax
and amortization legislation is final
ly settled.

Soaring US. Exports
Predicted i War
Lasts Another Year
$50 Million q Month
Volume Next Summer
Estimated by Experts
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Foreign trade experts estimated
today that another year of war
abroad would push United States
exports up to a $3.50, 900 000-a-month
volume next summer, or double that
of the period before hostilities
started in Europe.
The prediction was made in a
memorandum for use of officials
dealing with export problems. II
fulfilled, it would place exports,
dominated by British purchases of
war materials, al an annual rate OF
approximately S55OO,0OO 900, easily
the largest since 1920, and nearly 80
per cent more than the 1889 total of
S3.l77l76,OOO.
Effect OF the British blockade on
the foreign trade situation was
shown in the estimate by these ex-
perts that of the probable S45O.-
100000 exports to all nations next
June. the British Empire would take
1915 100000 This would compare
with $l45.500000 the empire bought
in June, 1910, and SITS 100000 it
bought in July.
The gain in sales to the British
were thus expected to offset the
blockade's elimination of virtually
all sales to France, Germany, nearly
the whole Mediterranean area, and
most of the Scandinavian markets.
Sales to Latin American nations
amounted to about S58,000,000 in
July and the experts predicted this
figure would not change much. They
reasoned that while Latin America
would like to buy much more, 1t
lacks the money.
In July the rest of the world
bought about 100000 worth of
goods here, and this figure, too, is
expected to remain fairly stationary.
United States imports also have
gained somewhat since the war be-
gan, but on a much smaller scale
than exports. Except for the United
States efforts to stock up on such
foreign products as rubber and tin,
however, no important increases
were anticipated in the near future.

Largest Wheat Supply
In History Fills
Canadian Bins
Delivery Regulations
And Storage Needs
Ruise Problems
BY the Associated Press.


Canada's wheat supply will be the
largest in its history, with a total
of about 834191,OOO bushels the
Office of Foreign Agricultural Re-
lations reported today.
A surplus of 722,771 900 bushels
for export and carry over was ex-
pected, giving authorities a prob
lem of regulating deliveries. pro-
viding additional storage space and
arranging to aid farmers unable to
get the usual cash benefits from
early sales.
Canadas 1910 crop was estimated
at Sol 100000 bushels, an increase
of 7l,481 900 bushels over last year.
The northern neighbor has plenty
of bacon and poultry products to
meet her own and British needs
and may even have surplus un-
less there is sudden serious war
damage to stocks in England
A report said that if British de-
mands for dairy products should
be increased greatly, Canadian sup
plies probably would not be suf-
flcient. This is especially true Of
butter. Increased cheese produc-
ton has been recommended. Pro-
duction of sheep. wool and mutton
was reported as deficient, and farm
ers were being advised to add extra
ewes to their focks.
The United Kingdom Ministry of
Food has restricted the use of do
mestic wheat to flour milling, seed
and poultry feed.
The ministry also ordered that
bread be baked in four shapes anG
to be fortified by addition of vita
min B-1 and calcium as a means
of health protection.
Cotton trade conditions through
out the world indicate much less
favorable prospects for American
cotton fabrics than during last Sep
tember.
Not only have markets for about
IS per cent of former European ex-
ports been cut of by naval block
ade," the Office said, "but competi-
ton in the remaining world mar
kets is increasing as surplus stocks
of raw cotton accumulate in other
producing countries from the new
crops being picked"

Farm Implement Sales
Climb Well Ahead
I0f Last Year
| 1910 Total May Hit
Peck Since 1929,
Except for 1887.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Farm i'm
plement sales this year may total
around $500 900 900. compared with
s474 100000 in 1889, Standard Sta
tistics Co. estimated today.
Such an aggregate, with the ex-
ception of 1887, would be the biggest
since 1929.
The estimate is based in part on
expectation Of a half-billion dollar
gain In farm cash income over last
year to a total for 1910 Of around
SO 900 900 900.
A farm income Of this size. also
with the exception of 1887. would be
the largest since 1929 In 1897 cash
flowing into farmers pockets totaled
s9,1l1 100000 and In 1929 amounted
to Sill ,221 ,000, 900.
Larger Sales Recorded.
Increased purchasing power OF
the farmer Is finding reflection In
larger sales by leading farm equip
ment manufacturers" reports the
statistical company. The introduc-
ton Of new lightweight tractors
and harvesting machines, for use
principally on smaller farms, is hav-
ing a favorable influence"
Several leading farm machinery
concerns shortly are expected to
swing into building of national de-
fense supplies Many already are
working on test" orders.
The farm tool companies generally
are said to be we'll prepared to take
full advantage of Government busi-
ness as it materializes.
Minneapolis Moline, for ex-
ample, has developed a promising
military truck-tractor for moving
artillery at high speed" the statis-
tical concern points out. Since
about 80 per cent of this tractor S
parts are identical with those of
regular commercial units, only a
minimum of retooling would be re-
quired to get the military model into
mass production.
Other Companies Ready.
Likewise, International Harvester
is capable OF producing large num-
bers of Army trucks.
"Other companies in the farm tool
group are prepared to manufacture
various types of artillery vehicles,
as well as small ordnance and other
military equipment. In addition to
direct military equipment. these
companies can produce machine
