The most important factor, it says, is the continuance of the fall of commodity prices. Bradstreet's commodity price in- |dex show that prices declined 25 | per cent between October 1, 1929, to January 1, 1931, and seven per cent additional between January 1, 1931, and July 1, 1931, They are continuing to fall. ——————— Judge Favors Jobless In Selecting Jurors ASHLAND, Xy, July- 15—Un- employed are being given prefer- CHAMBER 1S TO DEFER MEETING Plans Special Meeting in Honor of Senators Rob- mson and Norbeck Although the Chamber of Com- vised that Senators Joseph T. ‘Robinson and Peter Norbeck will arrive here tomorrow night, it has postponed its usual weekly meeting from Thursday noon to Friday noon, it was announced today by Secretary G.
