GUESSING AGAIN.


Kewanee Star-Courier: 'Roose-
welt to Head New Party" is the head
above dispatch from Washington,
prominently displayed on the first
page of one of today's Chicago papers.
Without reading it you can safely set
this article down as fabricated matter
sent out during the Sunday night lull
of news, at Washington, when the cor
respondents are put to their wits ends
to get up something lively for the
Monday papers. 1t is difficult and
well nigh impossible matter to pre-
dict what Mr.. Roosevelt will do and
will not do, but certainly no one can
seriously think that it is the organiza-
ton of new party, which is engaging
his interest.

THE LEADING HORSE STATES

Most people will be surprised TO
Know that Illinois is the first horse
state in the Union, and not Texas or
one OF the western range states. Ac.
cording to the estimates of the Uni
ted States department of agriculture
OF the live stock in the country Illinois
has 1,6G5,000 horses, worth s125 each.
or total of s205, 22o 900. ONLY six
other states have live stock of all
kinds whose total value exceeds the
value of the horses alone in Illinois.
These states are Iowa. Texas. Mis-.
souri,, Kansas, Nebraska and Ohio.
Horses comprise nearly As per cent
OF the total live stock value OF the

most valuable in New Jersey. where
they are worth s134 each, and the

ANALYSIS OF PRICES.

A report recently puD1Sneu by the
bureau of labor of the department of
commerce and labor, makes some very
interesting developments as to the
steady increase of the wholesale
price of 257 commodities which enter
into the everyday life of our people.
The figures cover period of
twenty years, 1890 to 1909, inclus-
i've.
According to the report the general
advance has been 8 per cent for 1909
over 1908, yet 1909 was 2.3 per cent
lower than 1907 That is to say that
1909 did not bring the wholesale
price OF commodities back to where
they were before the panic of 1907.
The present year, however, will send
it above that mark.
The highest point reached in 1907
was in October. from which month
there was a general decline until Aug
ust, 1908. Beginning with September,
1908, there has been a monthly in
crease without break up to March,
1910. Wholesale prices in March, 1910,
were higher than at any time in the
preceding twenty years, being rs per
cent higher than in March, 1909; 10.2
per cent higher than in August, 1908;
Oil per cent higher than the average
yearly prices of 1900, 1872 per cent
higher than the average yearly price
of 1897, and 1913 per cent higher than
the average price for the ten years
1890 to 1899.
OF the 257 articles for which the
wholesale prices were obtained, 125
showed an increase in the average
price for 1909 as compared with 1908
| Thinty-one showed no change and 101
showed decrease.
| Of. the nine groups under which the
commodities are classified. six showed
an increase in price in 1909 as com
| pared with 1908, the largest percent
age of increase being in farm prod
mcts, namely. $50 per cent. Lumber
and building materials increased &c
| per cent: food, ETC., 3.4 per cent;
cloths and clothing. % per cent; and
drugs and chemicals, 1.S per cent
while the miscellaneous group in
creased 80 per cent. The three groups
in which the wholesale prices de
creased were house furnishing goods
90 per cent; fuel and lighting IL pei
cent, and metals and implements, o.
per cent.
The average wholesale price of raw
commodities for 1909 was 80 per cent
higher than in 1908, while in March
1910, it was 1915 per cent higher thar
the average for 1908 and SO per cen
1 higher than the average for 1909. The
average wholesale price of manufac
tured commodities for 1909 was L.
per cent higher than for 1908, and il
March, 1910, it was 7.2 per cent highe1
than the average for 1908 and 81 pei
cent higher than the average for 1909
the March, 1910, price also showed n
increase of 10 per cent over January
1910, and of o.S per cent over Febru
airy, 1910.
