Fertilizer Association Finds
Average at 79.4 Per Cent
During Week.
i tThe general level of wholesale com
modity prices was slightly higher in
the week of November 9 than in the
preceding week, according to the
Sidex of the National Fertilizer As
sociation. This index advanced to
79.4 per cent of the 1926-1928 average
from 79.3 in the week ended No
vember 2. The index is still below
the high point for the year, which
was reached last month. The index
stood at 79.6 a month ago and 75.1
a year ago.
Farm prices were generally lower
last week, showing the fourth con
secutive weekly decline. Moderate ad
vances in hog. sheep and lamb prices
were more than offset by declining
grain prices. The grains, feeds and
live stock index is now at the lowest
level reached since last December.
The only other group index to show
a decline last week was that for fuel,
which declined moderately as a result
of a drop in the price of crude petro
leum, following a sharp advance in
the preceding week.
Seven of the 14 component groups
thowed advances, although in most
Cases they were relatively small. A
slight rise took place in the foods
Index as a result of four commodi
ties rising in price and six declining.
The fats and oils group registered an
•advance with rising prices for butter
and cottonseed oil primarily respon
aible for the increase. The price of
lard fell, continuing the decline which
has been In progress for the past
several weeks.
The textiles index again rose last
week, reaching the highest level since
October, 1934. With the exception of |
hemp, which moved downward, all!
raw textile materials rose in price last j
■week.
An increase in the price of pig iron !
was largely responsible for the upturn
lp the metals index although the price
of tin also rose during the week.
Higher tankage prices caused a frac
tional rise in the fertilizer materials !

Activities During October
at Best Level Since
December, 1933.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 12.—The
construction industry has begun to
"zoom” said the F. W. Dodge Corp.,
building statisticians, in a survey to
day showing activities for October
at the best level since December,
1933.
Construction work undertaken in
the 37 States east of the Rocky
Mountains aggregated $200,863,700.
Excluding the final month of 1933,
which according to the survey was
the month of peak activity of the
original P. W. A. program, the Oc
tober showing is the most favorable
since the Autumn of 1931.
The month’s record compares with
$167,376,200 for September and $135,
224.800 for October. 1934.
Part of the increase, said the Dodge
firm, was attributable to private ac
tivity. The momentum of the
P. W, A. program was cited as an
other important factor.
The survey declared that for Oc
tober the residential total, apart from
other classifications, amounted to $55,
100,300 in the 37 States. This was
more than twice the total of $26,
299.800 for October of last year and
represented a gain of more than 30
per cent over the September, 1935,
total.
For the 10-month period ended Oc
tober residential building amounted to
$394,007,800 against $214,379,900 for
the first 10 months of 1934.
"Practically all of the 84 per cent
gain," asserted the survey, "was due
to private building as distinguished
from housing construction of public
agencies.”
Nun-residential awards for October
amounted to $59,448,400 compared
with $49,420,100 for September and
$43,685,600 for October of last year.
Heavy engineering jobs, embracing
both public works and public utilities,
amounted to $86,315,000 in October
for the 37 States. This compared
with $76,145,300 for September and
$65,239,400 for October, 1934.
For the first 10 months of 1935 the
total construction of all descriptions
undertaken In the area east of the
Rocky Mountains amounted to $1,
392.561.400 as against $1,338,732,000
for the corresponding period of 1934,
according to the Dodge bulletin.
