FOR DEPARTMENT
Commerce And Labor Divi.
sions to Be Consolidat-
ed In One Place.

The Department of Commerce and La
Dor Is to have a big new home in the
downtown business section of the city
within the next twelve months. One of
several propositions is to be accepted by
the department within the next two
weeks The office building, to be con-
structed, will be large enough to house
all of the bureaus, and divisions now in
rented quarters, and will be leased by
Secretary Nagel for a term of five years.
Several propositions from Washington
business men and realty dealers are
now under consideration by the secre-
tary and his advisers. Fifty thousand
dollars year has been fixed as the
maximum rental that can be paid, and
It is said all the propositions under con-
sideration fall within this sum. A con-
tract will be closed within the next two
weeks, probably Immediately after the
return OF Secretary Nagel to Washing
ton.
The proposed lease of big depart
mental building constructed for the
Government by private capital, Will not
interfere with the plans for a gigantic
Government-built building to be located
on the Mall, on the 1--WE squares be-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth, b

This wonderful fruit laxative acts
as a liver and bowel cleanser-tonic
not as an irritant. Its action is
delicious-no dreading. 1t is positive

you are bilious, nervous, dizzy, half

PREDICT ANOTHER
RISE IN PRICE OF
BEEF IN FEW DAYS
Probable Result of Chicago
Market Yesterday, The
Highest on Record.

Except for a slight rise in the quo
tation on porterhouse steaks which Is
now selling as high as % cents a pound,
the local beef market shows no change
from last week. However, several deal
ers believe there will be another rise
within the next few days. This opinion
is based on the fact tnat the wholesale
market in Chicago touched a new mark
yesterday, when live beef sold for $40. 70
hundred.
When the. Chicago market got up to
SlO.5O a few weeks ago, breaking all
previous records, many believed the
limit had been reached and that prices
were bound to drop. Since then they
have been gradually rising, however.
and yesterday went to S10.70, the highest
figure ever demanded for beef on foot.
Unless there is a drop in Chicago an
other rise on the local retail marke,
may be expected.
Pork products have now taken the
ascension route, attempting TO catch
up, 1t seems, with beef and lamb, which
showed a rise last week. Bacon Is
selling for % cents straight now,
for many weeks. Pork chops are also
worth % cents, though some may still
be bought for %. Pork roast has risen
from 20 TO % cents.
many summer berries and fruits are
disappearing or have already gone.
Blackberries, currants and huckleber-
ries are now off the market and
peaches are beginning to grow scarce.
Croakers have disappeared from their
accustomed prominent places on the
fish tables. and in their stead is pick
erel, a popular but none too plentiful
fish, which is just coming in season. IT
is worth IL to IS cents. Potomac bass
is also here, selling for 20 cents. Hail.
but and Spanish mackerel are scarce
and have jumped considerably, these
being the only changes in the fish mar
ket.
Eggs have risen l cent within the
week on both the best and the No. 2
grades. The former is selling today for
2S cents and the latter for q cents.
Following is the list of average prices

Mall at Sixth street, the Census is az

Geodetic Survey on New Jersey avenue
The main department building on
Fourteenth street, where the Secretary
and other administrative officers are
quartered, is rented structure. II

eau OF Immigration and Naturalization
and Division of Information. The Bur-
eau of Manufactures, Bureau of Statis-
tics and Division of Naturalization are

The Bureau OF Labor, Bureau OF Light

ago by the municipal government when
the new municipal building was COM
pleted All of these divisions and bur-
eaus will be brought together In the
new building.
Authority Provided,
Necessary authorization for the lease
of a new building as proposed, at rem
tai not to exceed the aggregate of $780,
900 now paid by the department, was
made by the last session OF Congress.
The plan has been under consideration
for nearly year. and consequently Sec
retary Nagel Is ready TO act upon II as
soon as he returns. A committee head
ed by Chief Clerk Robert M. Pindell, jr.,
has considered all the offers made, and
is ready with It's report.
Building Slump Broken.
The building slump which has ex-
tended over the past few months seems
to have been broken and the tide Of
activity in building construction in the
District turned from the ebb. The value
we're issued in August shows an in
crease over August, 1912. OF $112, ,T75, or
IA per cent This is regarded as highly
encouraging, In view OF the compari-
sons of previous months with their
corresponding months of 1911.
The distribution of the work and the
comparisons with the figures of August
1911, are as follows:
