Chongesin Week

b. the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The Asso-
ciated Press index of commodity
prices, in a sixth consecutive ad-
vance, rose to the highest level since
April, 1897, this week.
The index, based on 1925 as 100,
moved up to 9759 from 97.50 in the
preceding week. A year ago the in
dex, which is comprised of IS whole
sale commodities, sold for immedi-
ate delivery. stood at 77.69.
Current prices are also around
peaks since 1881, but lower than
levels prevailing during the late
1920s.
Sharpest gains were posted for
hogs and cattle. Hogs sold at the
highest January prices in IS years.
Lard and butter also improved.
Both commodities figure prominent
ly in lend-lease shipments. Cocoa
and linseed oil also advanced.
Wheat and corn declined, mainly
because of the avowed Government
intention to sell surplus stocks to
spike price rises. Rye and oats fol-
lowed suit.
Cotton, Influenced by sales of
Government supplies, was trimmed
after reaching i2-year high prices.
Lambs and eggs, too, were in the
minus column.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Standard
Oil Co. of New Jersey has sold its
petroleum holdings in Bolivia to the
Bolivian government for $500, 900,
1t was learned today.
On this purchase price the big oil
company also received interest from
March, 1887, when the properties
were appropriated by the Bolivian
government. They had been oper-
ated by Standard Oil Co. Of Bolivia,
a subsidiary of Standard Oil Co. Of
New Jersey.
Terms for transfer of the prop
critics to the Bolivian government
were reported to have been worked
out in conjunction with the recent
Inter American Conference at Rio
de Janeiro.
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
acquired the Bolivian acreage about
20 years ago, but its development
was said to have yielded only rela-
lively small production of oil. The
original concession covered 21a mil
lion acres, but the company con-
fined its operations to approximately
5000 acres.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31-The As

activity advanced to 1853 this week,
the second consecutive 1912 high.
A month ago the measure stood at
1888 and a year ago at 1897
Contributing to the rise was a
contra seasonal gain in carloadings
which chalked up the best week for
any similar period since 1880. Steel
output fell back slightly owing to
tightness in supplies of scrap ma
