CommodityPrice
Chonqesin Week
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Oct. 1l.-Spot COM
modify prices showed an irregularly
downward trend this week, giving
way before a number Of depressing
influences of which the most power
full was the new German drive into
Russia.
The Associated Press wholesale
spot index of 35 basic commodities
declined for the fourth successive
week, dropping to 9189 compared
with 92.13 the previous week.
Reports of German successes in
Russia, which gave the stock mar
ket its worst setback since last April,
also weakened trading sentiment in
major commodity marts. Price con-
troll discussion in Washington also
continued to hang over some mar
kets.
Cotton Drops Sharply.
Cotton tumbled sharply in the
middle Of the week on reports OF
crop larger than previously expected.
Wheat was down on the war news.
In all grains the lack Of storage
space was beginning to make itself
felt. Some small grain elevators
have been forced completely out OF
the market for lack of space to store
additional supplies. Corn. however,
reached higher levels during the
week.
Butter, with a wide break, led the
decline in foods. The market, after
recent steady advances, apparently
began to show concern over record
supplies of butter in storage. Cocoa
-four, lard and hogs were also lower.
Few Resist Trend.
Here and there a few commodities
resisted the trend and posted higher
prices. Eggs, turpentine, cattle,
lamb and zinc were included among
gamers.
