THE JAMESTOWN FAIR.


Mnna Irving In Leslle's Monthly.
Where Pocahontas strung her beads
Beside her wtgwam door,
And Captain Smith with rapture hailea
The green and wooded shore.
Lo! all the nations Of the earth
Bring treasures, rich and rare,
To where Virginia sits in state
And holds the jamestown fair.
Where long ago the painted brave
Propelled his birch canoe,
The fleets OF mighty naval powers
Are anchored on the blue;
A thousand silken banners gay
Are fiuttering in the air,
And batteries from every ship
Salute the jamestown fair.
1t is Virginia's proudest day
Three centuries Of renOWn
In war and peace have won for her
A fadeless laurel crown.
The fruits Of all her years Of toll
Are proudly garnered there
Beneath the countless clustered room
That mark the jamestown fair.
From Indian tepees she has reared
The palaces Of trade,
From strings of savage wampum shelIA
The gold Of commerce made.
The smoke from her tobacco crops
Is fragrant everywhere,
And like an azure aureole
Surrounds the jamestown fair
Virginia Is "at home today
Among the glittering spires
Arising from the ashes gray
OF ancient council fires,
And ready to receive her friends
With pride beyond compare,
She opens wide her spacious gates
Behold the jamestown fair.

THE HTeBER PRICE LEVELS.

The bureau of labor at Washington
has Just completed the compilation Of
statistics secured from a wide investi-
cation into the cost Of living for the
year 1905. The figures now published
relate to wholesale prices, and the
bureau is at work upon returns show
ing retail prices which will be printed
IN July. The consumer will not be sur
prised to learn that the Wholesale
prices Of living commodities are still
increasing and are higher than at any
other time in the seventeen-year period
covered by the bureaus investigations.
Wholesale prices on 25S commodities
reached a higher level in 1906 than
at any other period since 1889. The
average for the year was Sc per cent
higher than for 1905, ass per cent
higher than for 1897 and 22.4 per cent
higher than the average for the ten
years ending with 1899.
The Investigations by the bureau in
cluded prices of farm products, food,
clothes and clothing, fuel and lights,
building material, drugs and chemicals,
furniture and house furnishings and all
OF the necessities of living. In but two
groups was a decrease in prices shown
in 1906, compared with 1905, in farm
products and drugs and chemicals. The
average price of farm products in 1905
was but one-half of per cent less
than for 1905. not enough to make
any appreciable difference in the
family's butter, egg and milk bills
Food as a whole increased 80 per cent
over the average prices for 1905, the
increases being in fish, fruit, hog prod
ucts, rice, milk and vegetables. Minor
decreases were shown In coffee, eggs,
beef, sugar. -four and tea. These de-
creases we're in wholesale prices only
and we're not noticed in retail prices.
OF the seventy-five articles included in
the clothing group, sixty-six showed an
increase in price, five we're stationary
a
and fuel prices increased and there was
a big boost in metals, building ma
terials and all articles entering into
house construction and house furnish
ing
officials of the bureau of labor make
no attempt to explain the causes Of the
rise and fall of prices, explaining that
the causes "are too complex, the rela-
tive influence Of each too uncertain, In
some cases involving too many eco
nomic questions to permit their dis
cussion in an article dealing only with
the facts and figures" The consumer,
however, has his own explanation Of
the causes. While he may blame some
to trust combination and the manipula-
ton of prices in food supplies, he
knows that the old law OF supply and
demand is working overtime. With
work for every man, at advanced
wages, with an unequaled export de-
mand, with the population increased
greatly by natural growth and immi-
grafton, the mills and factories and
farms have been overtaXed to supply
eager customers waiting with cash in
hand. The people are buying more and
better goods than ever before and in
creased prices are inevitable until the
factories and farms get ahead of the
demands upon them.
