TREND OF PRICES HIGHER.
Levels Already Reached to be
Exceeded, Says BrOadstreet's

To reiterate that commodity prices
speaking of them co--ectively, are
high seems like a work of superero-
cation, says Bradstreet's. Indeed,
it is more than probable that house
holders, and in fact manufacturers
of various commodities who have to
purchase raw materials on a rising
market have been surfeited ere now
with sufficient evidence of the trend
of affairs commodity wise.
But the main thing is that quota
tions OF a number of articles that
largely enter into ones daily regi-
men are bent on advancing to ever
higher levels than those now prevail
ing. In truth, the strain of higher
prices for raw products is not only
being felt by manufacturers who are
in turn forced to advance prices on
finished goods, but it is also super
inducing demands for higher wages
by employees, who are using the in
creased cost of living as a basis for
enhanced remuneration.
In any event Bradstreet's index
number as of Nov. 1 shows that
prices as a whole have not only re-
gained what was lost during the de-
pressed period following the panic
of October 1907, but that they close
ly approach the best records ever at
tained-those witnessed through
out the first seven or eight months of
1907. In other words, the index
number on the first day of the cur
rent month stood at $8,9173, the

crease in the actual working cost
brought the total average cost of
milling at the Garfield plant up to
52.16 cents per dry ton. The per
ton cost at Copperton were higher
than the normal on account of the
small tonnage treated, SO that the
average cost of milling at both plants
running under normal conditions in
Guiding all fixed and general charges
was $685. cents per ton. The cost
of mining and all expenses incident
thereto at the mine was 1888 cents
per ton. The general expense items
in connection with milling, develop
ment and fixed charges per ton
amounted to 9.83 cents per ton,
making the total average cost of
mining for the quarter 1922 cents
per ton and the total average cost of
mining and milling for both plants,
including all general charges, devel-
opment, maintenance, etc., was S2.07
cents per ton.

N OF STATE.
| MaxsOn Presents Valuable Figures
on These and Classification.

When the Senatorial irrigation
company visited Nevada recently the
members found Col. H. B. Maxson a
ton on the subject of irrigation and
reclamation, not to speak of the geo.
graphical and statistical data which
proved of great use to the members.
For years Colonel Maxson worked
for irrigation and he is conceded to
be one of the first men to undertake
agitation along practical lines.
The information furnished the
committee is of interest to those of
Nevada who have only a vague idea
of the states and it is given
below in the same form as it was
handed to Chairman Carter of the
committee.

are: The Humboldt, $50 miles; Car

highest level reached in 81 months,
or since Aug. l, 1907. The present
index number reflects an advance OF
10 per CEN over the figures reg
istered on Oct. 1 this year, and it in
icates an increase of 10 per cent
over the index number reported on
January l.
Extending the study, we find that
the current showing displays a gain
of To-, per cent over Nov. 1, 1908,
that it is 10 per cent above the same
time in 1907, while a similar ratio
represents t he increase over Nov. 1,
1906. Contrast with Nov. 1, 1905,
reveals a gain of 60 per cent, while
as compared with NOV. /, 1904, the
advance is no less than ia per
cent. On Nov. 1, 1908, the index
number stood at $7.8671, which
means that present prices show an
increase of 1873 per cent, and the
gain over Nov. 1, 1902, is 1912 per
cent.
By stepping to another viewpoint
the gauge shows that the Nov. 1, in
dex number-$8,9173-is 1912 per
cent over the most recent low point
touched on June 1, 1908, but that it
is still 2.3 per cent under the high
water mark for recent years, which
same was reached on March 1, 1907.
At the same time the index number
for Nov. 1 this year is 56.7 per cent
over the lowest point eve reached
within the life of our compilation,
the low mark having been scored
on July 1, 1S96-certainly a very
depressed period, the like of which
no n wants to again experience.
Eight of the 10 groups of COM
modities were higher on Nov. 1 this
year than they were on Oct. 1, these
being breadstuffs, provisions, fruits,
hides and leather, textiles, coal and
coke, oils. and miscellaneous pro-
ducts. Four groups-live stock,
metals (due largely to a fall in cop
per overcoming advances in iron and
steel,) naval stores and chemicals
and drugs-dropped down during
the month. One group, building
materials, remained stationary.
Eight groups were higher on the first
of this month than on Nov. 1, 1908
and five were lower.
