From the figures OF report by the
bureau OF labor there has been ex'
tracted the interesting fsct that sale
prices OF nearly everything reached q
higher level last year than at any time
during the last eighteen years. and the
farm produce leads all the rest.
The bureau divides the 25s commod-
tiles OF the country into nine groups
and farm produce showed the highest
increase in price attained by any OF
the groups. And the encouraging feat
ure OF the report is that the panic OF
last year did not AFFECT prices OF farm
