Of Price of Food Indicated in Report
Sent to Senate.

washington, Feb, 4.-That there has
been a very general increase IN both
wholesale and retail prices of articles or
food between the years 1899 and 1915 is IN
dictated by report sent to the senate To-
day by the department of commerce and
labor in response to a resolution intro
duoed by Senator Crawford of South Da-
kota, asking about the trend OF prices.
For purposes of comparison the prices
in 1899 are used as normal. The per-
centages of increase were about as fol-
lows:
Bread-Wholesale ISL. retail 49,
BUTTER-Wholesale Elgin 29S, cream
cry extra 27.5, dairy 24.6; retail oo.6, no
quality indicated.
Cheese-Wholesale $50, retail 20o.
Coffee-Wholesale SO, retail So
Egss-New laid, wholesale 1913, retail
&c.
Wheat four-Wholesale: Spring 43.6,
winter 26.s; retail PA, no quality indi-
Gated.
LARD-Wholesale 63.3. retail 49,.
Beef-Wholesae, fresh Ills; retail,
fresh 149, salt 1876
Dressed mutton-Wholesale 21.4, retail
26S.

Ham--Wholesale 21.9, retail 31.S.
Milk-Wholesale 300, retail 1871.
Potatoes-Wholesale 70.6, retail 25.5.
The report shows that prices of sugar,
tea, spices and soda crackers have been
slightly reduced.

NEED MORE SNOW.
The Penobscot River Lumber Section
Was Hardly Sprinkled.

Bangor, Me-, Feb. 4.-The storm OF
Thursday night and this morning
brought about six inches of snow to
Bangor and vicinity, and in towns west
of the city the depth is greater. but
in the north and east the fall was very
light, dwindling to nothing at Grind
stone on the Bangor & Aroostook. Re-
ports received here indicate that in
the logging regions very little snow
fell. but cooler weather has somewhat
improved conditions.
All kinds of business in northern and
eastern Maine are seriously affected
by the lack of snow, log hauling being
generally suspended, while many thous-
ands of tons of freight ready for ship
tnent cannot be moved to the railroads.
There is time yet to get the logs from
the yards to the landings if a heavy
snow should come at once, but another
week or two of present conditions
would reduce the log supply on the
PenobscOt and other eastern rivers by
1OO.0O0,000 feet. while greatly increas-
ing the cost Of the logs that reach the
boom.

believes that the exchanges themselves
can work out their own salvation.
Where an exchange by it's own regu-
lations or its own action or neglect, he
says, abandors in whole or in the part.
the beneficial functions which are the
sole justification for its existence it
places itself in very dubious position.
AS long as it does not voluntarily elm
mate the evils that are easily rene
diable, he declares. it is properly a
subject of public regulation.
The commissioner bases his COM
ments in regard to speculation chiefly
on the bureaus recent investigation
of the cotton exchanges. The theoretic
benefits of exchange transactions, he
says. are often nullified by improper
conditions on the exchanges themselves.
and he cites the New York Cotton Ex-
change, the basis defect of which, he
says, is it's so-called Fixed difference"
systems The fictious quotations pro-
duced decrease the prices of cotton re-
ceived by the farmer.
When the price of future contracts is
disturbed, as it frequently is by this
artificial regulation, he says that hedg-

A FEDERAL TAX
On Transactions Of the Exchanges as
Means of Regulation.

Washington, Feb. A federal tax
on the transactions carried on by the
exchanges of the country is regarded
by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner
of corporations, as offering in some
measure "A constitutional and avail
able means of regulation" of these
bodies. But in report submitted by
him to President Taft today Mr. Smith
acknowledges that he is somewhat at
a loss to determine exactly how ITO
eliminate the evil and retain the good"
OF the future transactions of the ex-
changes.
Whether this can be done and how,
40 not presume to say" he reports.
IF tax law should be so framed as
TO distinguish between future transac-
lions which are beneficial, which give
the fullest play to the natural laws of
supply ard demand and those transac-
lions, on the other hand, which are
carried on under false and uneco-
nomic system, much good probably
would result"
Information requested by the Presi-
dent as to transactions on produce ex-
changes and as to certain future con-
tract in farm products led to Mr..
Smiths report on the subject Taking
up the various classes Of transactions
in farm commodities, the commission
err holds that spot" and intended de-
livery future transactions are prop
eff; that bucket shop" transactions
are unquestionably evil and indefensi-
BILE and that hedging" transactions
are necessary and proper, being really
not speculation but an avoidance Of
speculation
But as to speculation, "where neith-
er party intends to deliver or receive
but where the contract is made on a
regular exchange the rules Of which
make delivery and receipt obligatory
is demanded Mr. Smith asserts that
this class Of future transactions pre-
sents a difficult problem. It's existence
probably involves the existance Of the
future exchanges themselves"
The trouble with exchange specula-
ton, says aMr. Smith, IL not with the
theory hut with the actual practice. He
