New York Especially The boycott

idly. Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ne

now included In the ranks of the
crusaders in the West, while in the
East Maryland, Pennsylvania, Con-
necticut and Delaware are lifting
their voices in feebler protests.
Ohio, however, is still the strong
hold of the movement. The Cleve-
land boycott has extended to Can
ton, where the Central Labor Union
has adopted a no-meat resolution,
and petitions are being circulated
with surprising results-to Column

New York Especially .--Bradstreets
has compiled a record of prices on
SO commodities that enter into daily
and direct consumption by the peo-
pie, and the result shows that the
cost of living has now reached an
absolutely high record. exceeding
even that of March l, 1907, when
prices went soaring In an anticipa-
tion of the panic which came in the
fall of that year. The figures for
December l last were below the
previous high record OF 1907, but
the continuous skyward movement
of prices in the last month OF 1903
had established a new high-water
mark by January 1.
The figures compiled by Brad
streets are known as Index Num-
bers." They are based on actual
wholesale quotations per pound for
the commodities in question, which,
to make them comprehensive, are
averaged over a wide area of mark
cts. When 1t is said that the in
dex number for January l, 1910,
was s9.2310, it means that a man
buying at wholesale one pound each
Oh Iue 80 VII bhol hoNO
would have to pay that sum as a
total. No attempt Is made to COM
pute retail prices because of the
wide fluctuations.
The new number" surpasses the
previous high record Of March /,
1907, $9.1293 by IL per cent. This
ratio also measures the advance that
was made on the Sc commodities in
a. - 4. aaN n
same time the present index number
reflects gain of III over January
1, 1909, which means that the prices
of the sc articles rose approximate
ly 81 cents within a years time.
The lowest point for commodity
prices for which Bradstreet's have
any record was touched on July l.,
1896, when the index number was
$5.7O19. The latest figure shows a
gain of more than 81 per cent. over
this number, indicating. of course,
that for every dollar you spend then
for living expenses you are spending
$1.61 cents now.
A Comparative Table.
The new index number mirrors an
increase of 1875 per cent. over the
comparative low point reached on
June l, 1908, but it is only 3.5 per
cent over January /. 1907, also a
time of ascending prices as forerun-
ners of the panic. The gain over
January /, 1908, is 1913 per cent.
while the rise over the same date
in 1905 is 14.2 per cent, and in
crease of January, 1904, is 1915 per
cent.

Managua, Nicaragua Especially. -
President Madriz announced that
General Estrada's reply had served to
end abruptly the peace negotiations
and that reinforcements had been
ordered to the front with the purpose
of striking decisive blow at the
insurgent army.
General Estrada's reply was to the
Presidents message inviting the in
surgent leader TO send peace COM
missioners to meet representatives OF
the government at Greytown. The
communication, which was signed by
Estrada and General Chamorro, stat
ed that they would accept Creytown
as a meeting place for peace COM
missioners provided Madriz w.,uld
recognize the revolutionlsts as con-
stituting a provisional government.
President Madriz declared that the
insurgent terms we're preposterous
and their acceptance by him would
be tantamount to illegitimiziug his
own government. He added:
This means an open break in the
negotiations for peace and The re-
sumption of military activity. I re-
gret deeply that this is so, as nm
sincerely desirous of effecting a rec
onciliatlon of all factions. Apparent
ly this is impossible without further
