Increasing Supplies of Is seniiaI Commodities
 Cutting Prices
lrY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

New cracks in the cost of living price structure appeared across the nation today.
 Cotton, wheat, butter and some textiles were most vulnerable to the pressure of steadily increasing sup plies of essential commodities.
 Security prices joined in the slide although at a comparatively slow rate
 Inspired in part by talk of con gumer resistance to some textile prices. cotton futures at New York broke around s4 bale under spot selling.
 Wheat futures at Chicago plung ed as much as cents a bushel at the opening, but rallied later.
 Top grades of wholesale butter in the New York spot market declin- ed ? to 2ll cents a pound to 63 3h- 64 cents pound. Supplies con tinued to flow to market in heavy volume while buying remained slack.
 Wholesale butter prices have toppled about 20 cents a pound in the past three weeks and about 8 to 9 cents this week.
 Worth Street textile merchants in New York reported that heavy goods for commercial purposes were moving none too well.
 Today's downtrend in prices fol- lowed the Ford Motor Co.'S surprise announcement of reductions of as much as $50 each for Ford cars.
