The downward movement In whole sale commodity prices which had pre vailed for the last month was reversed in the week ended March 30. The in dex of the National Fertiliser Associa tion. based on the 1936-1928 average as 100, advanced to 77.2, a rise of four points over the preceding week. A month ago the Index was 7".9 and a year ago 71.0. Of the 14 component groups of the index six advanced last week and two declined, compared with one Voup ad vance and six declines in the preced ing week. The principal increases were in the foods, grains, feeds and live stock, textiles and fats and oils groups. Eleven commodities In the grains, feeds and live stock group advanced, Including corn, oats, wheat, cattle, hogs and lambs. The foods group reg istered seven advances and only one decline. The rise In the textiles group was due in large part to. higher cotton prices, although burlap and silk also advanced. Seypn Items In the fats and oils group declined and only three ad vanced, but the group index rose 34 points, the rise In lard and butter prices much more than offsetting the declines In the vegetable oils quota tions. Slight advances were registered by the textiles and chemicals and drugs groups. The fuel group declined as the result of a seasonal drop in anthracite coal prices; the Index for this group was at the lowest level reached since the week of April 7, 1934. The fertilizer materials group Index fell off slightly as a result of lower prices for cotton seed meal and tankage. Thirty-three commodities advanced last week and 21 declined; In the pre ceding week there were 15 advances and 32 declines; in the second preced ing week there were 16 advances and 37 declines.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK. April 2.—The cotton trade becomes more disorganized daily, reflecting the effect of Federal policies on domestic and foreign cotton busi ness. Two memberships of the New York Cotton Exchange sold Monday at *8,000 each, off $7,000 from the last sales' and at the lowest price since 1914, with Its $7,000 record low. The peak of $45,000 was in 1928 and 1929. Prospects of small trading volume, widened differences between Southern spot and futures prices, and a cotton trading Investigation, which Is ex pected to add little to known facts, contributed to these lowered exchange seat quotations. Mill Operations Curbed. Cotton goods was helped somewhat by the volume of sales last week, the only week In March In which sales equalled production, but the general accumulation of stocks, resulting from slackened domestic and foreign business, compelled the 25 per cent reduction, starting Monday by Gov ernment order in three branches of the trade—print cloths, wide sheetings and carded yarn sales. The decline of cotton goods during March, amounting to an average of % cent a yard, followed the sharp break in cotton, as much as 1 cent a pound. March 11, and a net decline during the last month of iy3 cents a pound. Diminished raw cotton ex ports, along with the gain In Japanese goods exports, contributed to the drop In the commodity and its products. The world cotton crop last year, estimated by the New York Cotton Exchange at 22,396,000 bales, was about 3,000,000 less than the preced ing year. The American crop alone was down 3,000,000 bales from the preceding year and 5,500,000 bales be low the five-year average. Price Spread Narrowed. Recent narrowing of the price spread between foreign and American cotton* m*y help our export*, which also may benefit from foreign pur chases based on Inflation or war scares. Prospects of small Russian cotton purchases here and of a siz able quantity of German buying de pend entirely on satisfactory credit arrangements. While Washington talks of higher processing taxes and an export sub sidy, the trade thumbs historical rec ords, for it Is out of statistics that a glance at the future may be gained— facts well realized by the sellers of mules, fertilizer and other materials to planters now busy preparing for this season’s crop. Estimates by the New York Cotton Exchange of last year’s crop show foreign cotton production was the second largest In history, falling short of the previous season’s record growth of 12,850,000 bales by only 73,000 bales. Decreases occurred in Egypt, India and Mexico, but these decreases were almost completely offset by In creases In China, Russia and Brazil, and in the smaller producing areas, .Uganda, Chosen, Argentina, Anglo Egyptian Sudan, Belgian Congo, Greece and Persia.
