The highest price for butter we re-

when it was selling for 68 cents pound

while the discussion has led to
nowhere, and is likely to continue to
do so, if the expression may be permit
ted. it has produced results by direct
ing attention and study to important
economic principles. The bearing OF
trusts and the tariff upon the high
cost of living has been much can
vassed. While the system of index
numbers, which, as purporting to rep
resent the average cost of commodities,
are frequently taken as representing
the cost of living, are very Door in
dex in that respect, they do furnish an
excellent measuring stick whereby one
may observe whether some given COM
modify has advanced more or less than
the average of commodities. Did these
index numbers serve no other purpose
they would still be valuable for the
purpose of making such comparisons.
1.-THE iron and steel industry has
trends of its own. although it is so
frequently spoken of as the 'barome-
ter of trade and it is of special value
to the trade to observe whether its
price movements have been more or
less pronounced than the average
movement of a number of representa-
tive commodities. Not only is such a
comparison of value to the iron and
steel trade; it may also be of value as
suggesting, in a way, whether there Is
much or little in the more or less pop
ular idea that to the two Us. trusts
and tariff, much of the present high
cost of living should be ascribed.''
