Nearly All Necessities Have Joined
the AeropIane Aggregation, and
Are Soaring Yonder.
There is no relief in sight The
price of food is still advancing.
Quotations indicate several i'm
portant advances in the past few
days The most notable is in the
price of hams. The choicest of the
standard brands are bringing 81 to
% cents a pound, an increase of 2
cents a pound over a week ago. The
ordinary brands are retailing at 10
and 20 cents pound.
Breakfast bacon, too, has Joined
the aeroplane aggregation, and is
costing the poor, harassed consumer
just 28 cents pound. OF course,
people needn't eat ham and bacon.
They might try other kinds of meat,
but the improvement there in prices
is inconsequential. White meat is
selling at 16 cents a pound. Lard is
about the same, 10 cents a pound
for pure leaf and 1914 for compound.
Butter and eggs are still trouble
makers. The freshest yard eggs are
demanding 35 cents a dozen Butter
is firm in price, 80 to 40 cents a
pound. Neither butter nor eggs give
any promise of decreasing soon.
Coffee is remarkably high. The
cheapest you can buy is 80 cents a
pound, and the fancy grades, Mocha
and Java, bring 40 cents pound.
There was one decrease, and this
an unusual one. Lemons dropped
from 40 cents to 80 cents. But the
season for lemons is about over, and
the decrease isn't appreciated a great
deal.

The changes proposed by the Demo-

These bills would have so affected the

many different and differing statements
as to his attitude upon the tariff, with
a view to evading the charge that

This attitude is emphasized in a state

The Turkish proposal of peace is

however, there seems to be no chance
