There was no change in the gen.
eral level of wholesale community
prices last week, according to the
price index compiled by the Ma
tional Fertilizer Association. This
index in the week ended November
80 remained at TIL per cent of the
1926-28 average. the same as in the
preceding week. The index was
76.1 a month ago and ITO a year
ago.
Foodstuffs and farm products were
a little higher last week, but the
effect of these increases was Offset
by declines in other commodities.
Although price advances in the food
group outnumbered the declines,
there was a slight rise in the group
index
The farm product average rose to
the highest point reached since last
spring. The cotton, grain and live
stock indexes all moved upward.
The tenth consecutive advance
was registered by the textile price
average, with increases in cotton
goods, yarns and burlap offsetting
declines in wool and raw silk. Small
declines took place in the group in

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-There was
a notable absence of selling pressure
in today's stock market, but many
leaders were permitted to drift to
slightly lower levels.
The proceedings were sluggish

minor declines predominated. Trans
fers of around 450,000 shares were
the smallest for a full session in
about six weeks.

ping and English industrial centers.
Almost as important from bear
ish standpoint, it was said, was the
prospect for mounting taxes next
year. Additional offerings to adjust
accounts for year-end income tax
statements were evident, but switch
ing to other stocks helped offset this
influence to some extent.
Another batch of extra, special
and regular dividends brought aid
for scattered shares. but even here
buoyancy was rarity. Allied Chem
iacl tackled on a modest gain in the
wake of a 50 special declaration on
the common. 1t was observed,
though, that this company's divi-

Figures
What TheyMeon
By JOHN L. BECKLEY,

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The high
level reached by automobile pro-
duction has come as something OF a
surprise to Wall Street.
It was conceded among financial
observers that the industry was IN
for a good year, but few expeced
assemblies to reach such a rapid
rate. For a month or more reports
have been heard that production
had hit its seasonal peak and was
expected to stabilize or decline
slightly. Nevertheless output has
continued steadily upward except
for brief interruption over Thanks
giving Day.
There has been some talk that the
auto makers were trying to build up
dealers stocks to a substantial level
as a safeguard to any possible dis
turbances of production later on.
These might come either from pres
sure of defense work or labor diff
culties.
If this has been the purpose be-
hind the squirt in production. OBJ
servers say it hasn't been realized
yet to any significant extent. Retail
sales have been SO amazingly good
that dealers stocks have increased
only moderately, trade circles say,
from their record low in September.
This is probably the story behind
steady boosts in output.
Assemblies last week totaled 128,-
783 units, according to Wards auto
motive reports. This Is the fastest
production rate since May, 1887.
1t is hard to see how the industry
can miss setting a new record for
fourth-quarter production. The pre-
vious record of 1852 $50 cars was
set last year, and has been nearly
equaled by october and November
output of about 1,000,000 units. TAX
ing a conservative estimate Of 450,-
900 for December, fourth-quarter
production this year will amount to
1,450, 900 cars.
An output Of this size in the
final three months would boost 1910
production to approximately 4,600,-
600 units, compared With 3,732, IT'S

FEWER PERMITS
 | FOR BUILDING
Only I9 Issued During Month of February Are
 at $2I,O5O

Building activity declined in Wa terbury during March, the monthly report of Building Inspector John T. Hartley disclosed today. There were 19 permits issued, for con- struction work whose cost is esti- mated at $21 ,050. In February there were 9 permits, with costs eSti- mated at $67,375. In March of last year there were 32 permits, with $5O,OO0 as the estimated cost.
 Cold weather which prevailed during the month is blamed for most of the decline. Many proposed r-ojects were delayed because of the heavy first in the ground, and the unreasonable cold.
 The April total will be swelled by the permit to be issued for the construction of the new St. Mary's hospital wing. The building costs alone are estimated at about $275,- 900, with the total cost to reach $35O 900. The permit will be the largest issued here in years.
 Of the March permits, there were II in the residential class. These include permits for two new one family dwellings, and one two- family dwellings, also for altera- tionS to eight dwellings. Residential construction for which permits were issued has an estimated cost of $18,750.
 There were eight non-residential permits. One was for the erection of 8 garage, five for alterations to business buildings, and two were for demolition of present struc- lures. Non-residential construction costs were estimated at $2,300.
