flower and string beans are a little less
expensive than in 1900
While wages as n general thing have
not increased anything like the propor-
ton in the cost OF living and those of
the day laborer least OF all. yet the
earnings of mechanics and skilled la
borers are considerably I'm excess of
the scale in vogue 10 years ago. The
salaries of clerks have increased per-
maps 20 to 20 per cent, and OF carpen-
ters upwards of so per cent and of

when it is painful to think of the wages

COSTS MORE ALL ALONG LINE.
In seeking for the season for the great
increase In the cost of living. The News
has asked a number of leading dealers
for an expression. A H Woolley
manager of the wholesale groceries de-
partment of u. C. NJ. l.. gave a few
reasons for the increase. Expenses
generally are higher than they were 10
years ago" said he. 1T costs more to
rent house than it did then; rentals
on business property are sky-high Elec-
tr1c light costs more: telephone service
costs more, mems wages are higher.
delivery service costs more; the price
of wagons has increased while the
value of horses has doubled Then
again, people demand better service
now than they used to- we deliver
goods by wagon to Murray and Big
Cottonwood, and this costs money.
There is another point which cam
not be overlooked While the popula-
ton OF the country is increasing. the
production is decreasing. and the cost
of living has advanced in proportion.
] remember ten years ago, most of us
used to have our own chicken yard.
and eggs and chickens then cost
very little. Grain was much lower and
the cost of producing chickens and
eggs was not so great. How many
have their hen yards in the city
today? The same is true of cows. Each
family had a COW and produced its

Of sugar said. Sugar is the only COM
modify today In the United States
which has not advanced in price In the
last ten years. In fact, all conditions
considered with cost of production ana
cost of doing business increased. sugar
is cheaper today than 1t was 10 years
ago. And while the sugar traffic is reg
ulated by the law of supply and de-
mand vet / am free to say that the
presence of sugar factories In this
state operates to keep the price down
in Utah. Sugar. as you know. Is
world commodity. and because there
happens to be a surplus In any particu-
lar part of the world. II does not argue
that the product will be cheaper there
than elsewhere, from the fact that
there is such a demand for the com
modify that it may be shipped out at a
profit. 1t Is the same with all the
world commodities, such as wheat and
corn. The local price can not always
govern.
Raw sugar today on the New York
market Is s4.17 per 100 pounds. IL
is s4.67 at Hamburg, Germany, which
regulates the price I'm Europe. This Is
| the raw sugar which must go through
the refining process before it Is plnced
| on the market Beet sugar in 1000 bag
lots TO the wholesaler In Chicago Is
| $5.07. Chicago is the sugar dumping
market OF the world. The Jobbng cost
OF sugar here Is $500. but delivery cost
Is to be figured in this. So 1t Will be
seen that sugar Is handled on a very
small margin OF profit. On the MIssou-
| ri river. COO miles nearer than Chicago.
the jobbing price of sugar Is s517, and
in Denver the price Is about $40. From
rs cents TO so cents must be added to
these figures for delivery charges.
"As said sugar is a world commod-
ity, and the law of supply and demand
| regulates its price. Local conditions
also figure to some extent, as in this
state. where there are sugar factories.
and whore every man. woman and child
is benefited by their presence here.
tho price is now ON the same level as II
was 10 years ago. If not even cheaper"
