INCREASE IN PRICES
WHAT PEOPLE PAY FOR THE
PRIVILEGE OF LIVING.
Advance in Cost of Products Of Garden
and Field as Compared With
Last Year.

I'VE certainly pay for the privilege of
living these days. said Washington man
to a Star reporter the other day. Not
only is the meat we used to eat, but now
mostly contemplate increased greatly in
price. but even the vegetables, which form
an important part of the meal, have also
advanced to a great extent
Investigation among the producers proved
the truth of the gentlemans assertion, and
revealed the fact that the products of gar
den and field, with the exception of pota-
toes, have risen in price from % to 200 per
cent the local market in comparison
with a corresponding period of last year.
Beets, carrots and peas have advanced %
per cent, while onions have been sufficiently
strong to assert themselves for a similar
raise. Those who prize "corned beef and
cabbage as an article of diet, besides
meeting the increased cost of beef, are also
obliged to stand for an increase Of % per
cent in the price of cabbage. There has
been a rise of at least IS per cent in the
cost of tomatoes, while beans, parsnips and
lettuce have taken 80 per cent rise.
Spinach is soaring above all the rest of the
vegetables with an increased price of about
200 per cent, or 50 and $3.50 per barrel
opposed to 80 cents per barrel at the same
time last year. Cucumbers, the green pro-
ducers of cholera morbus, have failed to
come up to the mark set by their fellow
products of the soil, and there is noticed
decrease in the cost of that vegetable
amounting to about % per cent All kinds
of berries are more expensive this year
than last, occasoned, it is said, by their
scarcity on account of the cold and dry
weather at inappropriate periods Of their
growth.
The farmers stated that there is a great
er production of vegetables this season than
there was last year, but that everything
is about six weeks behind the season on
account of the unusually cool nights of
this spring, which retarded the growth of
all plant life. Green apples are just COM
ing into the market. and it is stated that
the crop this year will be immense

Want Police Regulations Enforced.

The Washington Fertilizer Company,
which has the contract for removing gar
bage in the District of Columbia, has asked

no person shall place or caus to be placed
in any garbage receptacle any substance
other than garbage" Section ID of article
IA of the regulations provides that ANY
person violating any of the provisions of
this article shall, on conviction thereof, be
punished by fine of not less than 81 nor
more than s4O.''
1t has been the object of the street clean

SUBSCRIPTIONS TO FUND.
G. A. R. Committee Acknowledges Re-
ceipt of Various Sums.

subscriptions to the entertainment fund
of the citizens executive committee on the
1902 encampment of the G. A. R. are ac-
knowledged as follows: Samuel Sinsheimer,
$40; w. Otzel, s.; F. w. Gross, So; BARNES
& Ofutt, So; ]. d. Robinson, So T. E Sui
livan, 50; w. H. Bailey, 81; Bath & Jones,
81. The indications are that the subscrp-
tons now being made by employees of the
government printing office will exceed any
similar contribution ever made from that
bureau.
Two additional features of the encamp-
ment program were announced yesterday
evening. These are the dedication Of the
Sherman statue south of the Treasury
building and the delivery of a special
Grand Army sermon by Rev. Wallace Rad
cliffe, u. D., pastor of the New York Ave
nue. Presbyterian Church. The Sherman
monument was originally to be sculped by
Carl Rohl-Smith, but after his death the
work was assigned by the sculptors widow
to stephen Sinding, Norwegian, and Lau-
bas-reliefs and the equestrian figure have
been completed, and were recently ap-
proved by Mrs. Rohl-Smith, and it is ex-
pected the monument can be erected in
ample time for dedication during the en-
campment. This ceremony, together with
the dedicatory exercises incident to the I'M
yelling of the statue of DR.. B. F. Stephen
son, founder of the Grand Army of the
Republic, will probably occur al the close
of the encampment. DIR. Radcliffe's sermon
OF ten years ago excited wide discussion
and proved to be one of the most notable
contributions to the reunion program. His
announcement to headquarters yesterday
that he would deliver corresponding dis
course this fall was received with great
pleasure. 1t is probable he will speak on
Sunday, October ).
The Grand Army Band of Canton, which,
as the official band of the encampments
T H.
Cleveland reunions and at the reunion of
the Confederate Veterans at Dallas, Texas,
has written the citizens executive commit
tee asking for an assignment during the
1902 enCampment.
In the announcement of the corps asso-
citation meeting to be held at Headquarters
Tuesday, July 5. the invitation to veterans
to join in the meeting seemed to exclude
those who served in the states of Louisiana
and Texas Under the terms of the call
the veterans of that service are particu-
larry desired to attend, and those who
served in other states were invited to Join
with them.

New wheat is now being received at the
market here and Alexandria in large guam
titles from the wharves along the lower
river and is bringing good prices, poor
wheat selling at 20 to 75c. per bushel, me-
dunn grades at 70 to 7Sc. per bushel, while
the best grades bring as high as Sic. per
bushel. Yesterday the schooner Ada Bal
lenger, laden with wheat, arrived at George
town for the mills there, and the sloop
Daisy brought cargo of the same grain to
Alexandria. The steamers from down river
points bring up several hundred bushels of
the gain on each trip. The high price paid
for corn has also brought good quantities Of
that grain to this market in the past day
or two.
