Portland Ore, Feb. 1.-THE small
remaining supplies Of wheat In the
Pacific northwest are finding eager
bidders and while no new develop
ments are noted in the market for the
cash delivery, futures have awakened
from their long nap and on the Port
land board of trade during the ses-
sion there was an advance of 1c a
bushel in the bid for February and
&c a bushel for the March option.
Most eager to buy a small portion
Of what wheat was left, bidders this
morning were freely offering 81 a
bushel for February delivery Of club
but none was offered under $1.O2 and
it is a question whether much wheat
could be secured at even the higher
figure. During the session the &c adj
vance on the March put the bid up
to $1.O1 a bushel, holders were strong
in their views for S1.03. Therefore
no business in that line during the
uocgion

the church has made wonderful ad-
vancement along these lines.

COST OF LIVING.

ne cost of living is steadily in
creasing. The man with a small SAL
airy and a large family is finding it
difficult to make both ends meet. All
the past summer prices for the neceS-
stiles of life have been gradually ad-
vancing. reaching high water mark on
August l. and this was the highest
on that date for Is years save one
1907. Since 1906 the cost of living has
increased 40 per cent. The Bradstreet
agency has selected 100 articles of
domestic consumption and has made a
careful record of prices for the Il
years last past. Bradstreet gives
wholesale prices. those to the con-
sumner being decidedly greater. The
highest record point ever reached was
in March, 1897. and we are gra-uanv
marching up hill. the August high
price mark being only 6.S per cent
below the March record 1t would be
amusing. and were it not so serious for
the wage Garner, one would look upon
the claims of the Interests" that
they are not responsible for this con-
dition.
