A special feature of the week in the
general exchanges was the activity in
the cotton market, this being accompa

blow at the price of cotton and antago

The price Of silver is strengthened by
the ready response Of India to meet
the import tax newly imposed. India
is able to do this by reason of the
unusually good crops of last year, and
the consequent ability to buy. The
copper market is weak and lead is dull.
Iron is somewhat lower for pig, but
structural iron, rails and railroad equip
ment generally show no decrease in
price.
The stock market is weak, failing TO
respond to ali attempts to bolster it
up. The trouble with the stock market.
Of course, is that stocks are the sport
of politics and the victim of legisla.
tion. Deep down, the trouble is that
the stocks are very largely fictitious
so far as values represented in them
are concerned. IF we could have lepis-
lation pruning the over-capitalization
and the over bonding of the different
railroads and corporations, there would
then be no fear of legislation by Con.
gress OF of States. But this pruning down
process will be something that will cost
the country something immense, and

ENUMERAToRs' TASK EASY.
Census Director Durand Sets February
5th as the Date.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 27.-Any per
son of good judgment, who has re-
ceived an ordinary common school edu-
cation can readily and easily pass the
test to be given applicants for census
enumerators places on Saturday, Feb.
5th, the date set by U. S. Census Direc
tor Durand, according to an announce
ment from the census bureau. This will
be comforting assurance to the several
hundred thousand persons who are be-
lieved to be contemplating application
for the places.
1t was emphatically stated at the
bureau that the test will be an eminent
ly reasonable and practical one, similar
to that applied to applicants at the
twelfth census. 1t will consist of fill
ing out a sample schedule of popula-
ton from a description in narrative
form of typical families, and, in the
case of enumerators whose work will
be in the rural districts, they will be
called on to fill out an additional sample
schedule of agriculture, from informa-
tion furnished by the census bureau.
All persons, whether wemen or men,
who may desire to become census
enumerators, must be citizens of the
United States residents of the super
visor IS district for which they wish to
be appointed; must be not less than
16 nor more than 20 years of age; must
be physically able to do the work; must
be trustworthy, honest and of good
habits; must have at least an ordinary
education, and must be able to write
plainly and with reasonable rapidity.
Those who can comply with these
requirements are invited to put in their
applications, as there will be at least
$4,000 enumerators' places to be filled
by the middle of March in preparation
for the enumeration beginning Apri
18th.
Application forms, with full instrue
tions as to filing in, and complete in
formation concerning the test and the
method of appointment can be secured
by writing to the supervisor of census
for the Supervisors district in which
the applicant lives. All applications
properly filed in, must be filed with tn,
Supervisors not later than January 25th
as any received after that date canno
be considered.

The COST OF Living.
HAS INCREASED 40 Per CENT
DURING PAST YEAR.
Foodstuffs for Common People Gets
Biggest Boost During Past Year
Labor Unionists Claim Employers
Through Tariff and Monopoly Are
Observation-Disclosures Given.

Chicago.-Labor union experts have
issued a report for the guidance of
wage earners who ara demanding in
creased pay to meet the advanced cost
of living. Their summary shows the
cost of necessaries has advanced from
81 IL to AZ per cent in most of the
food stuffs that goes to furnish the
workers table.
There has not been comparative
increase in the higher-priced edibles
and the burden has not fallen so heav-
lily on those who can afford the best
food supplies.
In the opinion of the labor actuaries
this is because the employers, through
the tariff and monopoly, control prices
at will and send up those affecting or
ganized workers higher proportion
ately than other prices in order to
ovrcome the advances the workers
gain through strikes and arbitration.
Sixty-six staples are higher this
month than they were month ago.
All foodstuffs needed to sustain manual
toilers are higher now than they have
been at any time since 1907.
Upward Trend of Prices.
Their report shows the following
comparative cost for 100 principal ar
ticles of diet, including wheat, bacon,
lard, oats, coffee, sugar, beans, beef,
mutton, butter, milk and barley: 1898,
1901; 1897, $611; 1898, 1857; 1898
1921; 1900, 1888; 1905, $500; 1906
$s.41; 1907, $500; 1908, $s.o1; 1909
1852.
Bakers intend to advance the cost
of bread to cents a loaf. This will
make bread that is made from Ameri
can wheat cost five times as much al
bread made from the same wheat solo
in London, where 10 cents buys four
pound loaf. Eggs have been selling
at 40 cents a dozen. Other things thai
have long been regarded as neces
saries, because of prohibitive prices
are now put on the luxury list.
At the next session of congress TIL
unions will present the matter to tn
national legislature to get some actor
on the tariff.
Senator Crawford of South Dakot
is said to have asked Secretary Mage
