LOWEST LEVEL OF PRICES.

The complete review Of different
branches Of business given to-day
places in a clear light the fact that
prices of commodities are at the low.
est level ever known. Eight years
ago, in July, prices averaged only
1889 per cent. of the prices for the
same articles and in the same mar.
kets January 1, 1860, and this re-.
manned the lowest point ever touched
until August 10. 1898, when the aver
age fell to y 76, but early this year
prices dropped below all previous
records and have never recovered,
the average December 26 being only
6S.7S per cent, of the prices in 1860.
The range was very little higher at
the end of the year, and about as low
as October 25. The fall since a year
ago has been 81 per cent, but very
unequal in different branches. In
iron and steel praducts IA per cent,
in wool 13.4 per cent, 10 woolens and
cottons about 10 per cent. These
changes contrast sharply with the de.
cline of wages paid per hours work,
