FAR FROM BOTTOM YET.
Marked Decrease in Prices of
Commodities During Past
Year Shown

New York, March 28.-It's cheap.
er to live to-day than it has been in
thirty-three months. That, at least,
is the comforting assurance just an
nounced by Bradstreet's.
1t was a year ago this month when
the highest general level for prices
for food-stuffs, textiles. coal and
other commodities was reached.
Since then they have dropped 12.5
per cent the decrease being fairly
evenly distributed from month to
month.
There have been some thirty in
creases, but Bradstreet's records
show that sixty-three products, in
cluding provisions and textiles. cost
less than last March. Of the thirty
products that are higher some are
sugar, tea, potatoes, apples, wheat
corn, oats and barley, soft coal and
petroleum.
The low price average of this
month, however, is only compara-
tive. and if the drop is limited to
per cent. a month, as for the year
past, more than three years must
elapse before the lowest record price
average is reached.
Prices are still 40 per cent. higher
than the low level recorder on July
1000

HOW TO USE MONEY.

Gov. Wilson drew the line of de-
markation between parsimony and
extravaganza in the conduct of the
conduct of the institutions. He told
them that besides eliminating every
dollar Of extra expense they should
find the persons responsible for bad
supplies, and prosecute them vigor-
ously.
Beyond voting and generally dis
cussing political matters the Gov
ernor told the members that none of
their employees might belong to po-
litical committees or agitate in cam.
paigns, and that political asses;-
ments broke the law under which
the members were in office.
