LIVING EXPENSES.
1t Requires Much More to Support a
Family Than Io Years Ago.


In the last bulletin issued by the but
reau of labor it is shown that the living
expenses of the average fGmily during
the period between 1890 and 1904 have
increased from % to 80 per cent.
Beans and salt beef have gone up 10
per cent, lard 10 per cent, butter "a per
cent, cornmeal 50 per cent, crackers 1879
per cent, molasses per cent, eggs 1915
per cent, herrings $50 per cent, salt 10
per cent, pepper 65.3 per cent and cur
rants 80 per cent.
These are only a few OF the articles
which show an increase. Although the
bureau of labor claims that articles class
ed under the general head of Food
have increased in price only ~ per cent,
the argument is a false one, is the claim
of the New York World.
While it is shown that -four has IN
creased SO per cent and eggs 1916 per
cent in price, nutmegs have decreased
55.7 per cent and prunes 44.6 per cent.
Nevertheless they are all Jumped in
together under the head of Food" and
an average increase of per cent is OBJ
tanned. This is the merest sOphistry.
Since 1894 canned goods have adyanc-
ed over % per cent On the dozen cans.
The Standard Oil Company has advanced
the price of oil cents gallon in the
same time. Bread is still cents, al
though the price of -four has risen SO
per cent This is because the bakers, to
protect themselves, were forced 20 make
the loaf smaller.
The hens of to-day produce four times
as many eggs as a similar number did
ten years ago. The advance in price has
been phenomenal The art of cold stor-
age is the one great barrier which pre-
vents commodities from finding a natural
price level. These cold storage plants
are controlled by the trusts.
We eat eggs laid a year ago. We eat
chickens and game that were killed last
year and beef that has been on ice for
years. You may find ). these cold stor-
age houses barrels of frozen turkeys
which were killed last Thanksgiving day
and which you may probably eat next
November
Soda crackers have decreased 1915 per
cent in price and about 90 per cent in
size. Fresh vegetables cannot very well
be kept for next years consumption, con-
sequently they have decreased naturally
in price with the advance in truck farm
ing.
Coal has clambered up the scale about
81 ton since 1890, without counting the
extra high figures reached in 1903.
As for clothing cotton fiannels have
increased 1873 per cent, common sutings
AL per cent, common boots and shoes
1872 per cent, women's dress goods 16.S
per cent, blankets 1873 per cent, and
thread 20.1 per cent.
The lahorer pays more by 10 per cent

bacco IL per cent more.

CROPS ira GOOD SHAPE.
Weather Bureau Says Corn Is Maxim z
Favorable Progress.

u
Crop conditions are summarized as
follows in the weekly bulletin of the
weather bureau:
During the week ending July 81 the
Ohio valley and northern portions of the
middle Atlantic States and New England
experienced temperatures too low for
best results, but elsewhere the tempera-
ture conditions were favorable. Rains
interfered with farm work in the Mis-
souri, valley, northern Texas and in por-
tons of the lower Ohio valley and east
gulf coast districts, while rain is needed
in Georgia, portions of Florida, northern
Mississippi, northern Illinois, Ohio and
northern New Jersey.
In the Ohio valley the growth of corn
has been somewhat checked by cool
weather, but elsewhere in the principal
corn States this crop has made excellent
progress. Throughout the Atlantic coast
districts fine crop is indicated. In Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Indian Territory and
northern Texas the condition of corn is
not so promising.
Thrashing of winter wheat has been
interrupted by wet weather in southern
Illinois and portions of the Missouri val
ley and middle Atlantic States, but else
where this work has advanced satisfac-
torily. Winter wheat harvest is finish
ed, except small part of the crop in
Michigan and New York.
Spring wheat harvest is in progress
in Nebraska, Iowa and the southern por-
tons of South Dakota and Minnesota.
This crop has made favorable progress,
no rust damage being reported, except
from scattered fields in South Dakota,
where smut and blight are also prevalent
to some extent Late spring wheat was
materially damaged in Washington by
hot winds OF the preceding week, but the
early crop escaped injury. Harvest is
general in Oregon, with about the aver
age yield and quality.
Oat harvest has progressed favorably
and is now becoming general in the more
northerly States. With the exception
of some damage to harvested oats in
Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia
the reports respecting this crop are high
ly favorable.
Some improvement in the condition OF
cotton over most of Texas is indicated,
and, while too rank growth and unsat-
isfactory fruiting are reported from Ok
lahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, a general, but slight, improvement
is also shown in these States. In Ala
bama the crop has generally deteriorat-
| ed; in Georgia it is fruiting rapidly
where sufficient rains have occurred, but
| in other localities of that State rain is
badly needed, and shedding, rust and
| black root are prevalent Rank growth
| and shedding are also reported from
Tennessee, the Carolinas and Florida, in
which States no Improvement is indicat-
ed, except on clay lands in South Caro-
lima, while on sandy lands in that State
| the crop has deteriorated.

| ton in business circles at
this time, these entering largely into
plans and commitments for the imme-
date future. Winter wheat is well
harvested in the northern region. the
yield being heavy, and late advices
show other crops to be making a sea-
sonable advance, corn carrying the
most excellent promise in Illinois. All
indications favor an enormous increase
in financial returns to the farmer.
Demands upon factory output show
more strength this week, retail deal
ings extended in necessaries, and the
Jobbing branches gained in the volume
OF orders for fall staples, especially in
clothing, footwear, food products and
textile wares. Satisfactory reduction
proceeds in merchandise stocks and
widening buying appears in farm sup
plies. The wholesale district gains in
activity, personal selections showing
wide variety for both city and country
trade and the bookings included much
for early delivery Discount taking is
noted more frequently, while CONNER
cial defaults are slight and collections
generally improving in promptnesS.
Mill and factory production suffers
less than the usual interruption from
high temperatures. New building work
is more in evidence and additional eff
forts are making for the prompt COM
pletion of various large structures for
mercantile and financial use.
Primary foodstuffs were in steady
request, but the offerings were liberal

ceipts being 3,olS, 7S3 bushels and the

ed by shorter supplies of the raw ma
terial and warehouse stocks have been

Insect Pests at Panama.

So serious has become the scourge of
insects in the canal zone that the sup
ply of insect powder in this country has
become exhausted by an emergency call
from the sanitary officers on the isthmus.
A requisition sent by the army medical
department for SO tons of various insec-
ticides revealed the fact that there were
but 20 tons of the needed materials in
New York.
1t is believed by the medical officers
that the quantity desired on the isthmus
exhausted the supply in the country.
There were purchased at the same time
20 tons of sulphur and 10 iron pots in
which to burn it, together with 10 tons
of newspapers, which were needed in
the fumigation Of the buildings of the
istbmus.
