The Cost Of Living.

FoR subsistence Englishmen have to
expend about % per cent, more money
than we for the anne quality and guam
tity. Food is cheaper in the United
States, and as for drink, the tax on
whiskey is nearly Six times greater In
Britain, and that on beer almost twice
as great. Tobacco pays tax fourteen
times greater in England than it does IN
this country. Tea and coffee, free to
the American, are taxed in Great Brit
ian. Sugar, free in England is taxed
under the HavermeYer act so as to in
crease the cost per pound.
Rent is lower by about one-third in
Great Britain. Clothing, the Massa-
chusetts bureau of labor statistics COM
putes, represents per cent, of a wage
earner's outgo in the United States, and
exactly the same percentage In England
Everything worn by our wage earners,
whether made of wooden, cotton or
leather, is manufactured in the United
States.
For fuel American and British work
ingmen spend exactly the same percent
age of their income, namely, g per cent,
the geater cheapness OF the combustible
in the United States being offset by the
fact that more OF it is needed to the
severer cold.
The English workingman pays
about 10 per cent more than the Ameri-
can for the necessaries Of life.
Since the NASSAU husetts report was
compiled, wages which then were almost
twice as high in the United States have
fallen in this countey some 10 per cent
upon an average, but their purchasing
power has more than correrpondingly
increased, for nowhere in the world
have the prices Of food and clothing de-
clined so fast and so far as thsy have in
the United States during the last six
teen months. The American artisan
can live more choaply than the English
workman, provided he is willing to live
the same kind OF life, but he is not will

Wheat prices have de lined II cents

The Business Situation.

During the last week the general
tendency to trade improvement has con-
tinuad, although a moderate reaction
from previous activity has been noted
in certain departments wherein traders
requirements had been temporarily an
ticipated. But the volume of general
business has gained steadily for several
weeks. There has been further ex-
pansion of industrial output, which has
had a weakening effect upon the prices
of iron, but which appears to have been
fully absorbed without detriment TO
values in tie textile trades or in leather
manufactures. Bank clearings in each
of the last four weeks have increased
not only as compared with those of the
corresponding week last year, but with
the preceding week this year Railroad

by the New York Financial Chronicle,

weekly increase Commercial loans
have expanded, and there is larger de-
mand for funds from the south and west
Customs receipts are larger, and the
treasury gold balance has beer strength
ened by the interior demand for small
notes. Merchandise exports continue
comparatively small, the value Of ship
ments from New York alone in three
weeks having been 1881, ITO less than
those OF the corresponding period last
year. Imports in two weeks have
shown a comparative gain OF 2,269,2l7
Developments in the agricultural sec
lions have been more favorable. Fall
work on the farms has made better
progress, pasturage has improved, and
the promise of late crops, even corn, Is
more encouraging. Business failures
in the United States and Canada during
the week have numbered 268, as against
36I for the corresponding week last
year. According to r. G. Dun " Co.,
the amounts involved are small-the Ii

Increased receipts OF cotton at the
ports and a general belief that the
growing crop will be big one, if not
the largest one on record, have COM
bned to cause further delay of 3-l6 of
cent per pound in the price of the
staple. Exports are moderate, but
have been nearly equal to last seasons
