 Margin Not Greatly Changed.
 Wholesale prices have invariably been used for the purpose of showing changes Tn the general price level. They are more sensitive than retail prices and more quickly reflect changes in conditions. Re- tail prices usually follow the wholesale, put not generally in the same proportion. The margin between them in the case of some changes in the wholesale price do not affect the retail. Changes fin the wholesale price which last for a short time do not usually result in correspond ing changes in the retail price"
 In making his report the statistician adopted the method pursued by all the leading authorities of the world. and in comparing the prices for 1903 with for mer years he reduces the price for the preceding thirteen years to an avera Qe price for that period. He places this av- craze price always at 100. The difference

One of the brightest plays, in
dialogue and characters true to
nature, on the stage today is
Daniel L. Harris "Parish Priest"
in which Dan Sully has made the
success of his life. Mr.. Hart is a
native of Pennsylvania, a young
journalist of Wilkesbarre. In
conjunction with Q. E. Callahan,
who is the author of ''Fogg's
Ferry" and Romance of Coon
Hollow" Mr.. Hart has just COM
pleted a dramatic story Of his
native state, called 'Slaves Of
the Mine" the plot of which
turns upon a law peculiar to this
and other mining sections under
which a conveyance Of 1andpasses
only title to the surface, and not
to underlying ores, unless the
latter be specifically mentioned.
The characters in 'Slaves of the
Mine" are borrowed from real
life in the locality where the tale
is laid, near Wilkesbarre and to-
gether with the dialogue which
gives them being, are, like those
in the "Parish Priest" brilliant
and natural. The new play is
full of stirring incidents, and con
tains one very sensational me-
chanical scene, depicting the de-
structions of a coal mine by fire
damp. "Slaves of the Mine will
/ be given at the City Opera House
