Special Dispatch to The Star.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, March 18.
Commodity prices were virtually
unchanged during the week ending
March Is. The Index for all COM
modities compiled by the McGill
Commodity Service, Inc, advanced
to II o from 709 a week earlier. The
principal strength in prices during
the week was noted in livestock.
The indices of both industrial and
agricultural products were lower.
Out of IA individual commodity
groups which comprise this index,
eight declines were noted. while
three groups advanced, and three
remain unchanged from Week-earlier
figures.
The industrial index declined as
lower prices for hides and leather,
non-ferrous metals, paper and pulp,
fine and coarse textiles. and vege-
table oils, offset strength in build
ing materials and paint materials.
The agricultural index was also
off fractionally as declines in wheat,
corn, oats, barley, rye, cotton, and
f1axseed we're more than sufficient
to offset minor advances in eggs and
butter.
