LABOR BUREAU REPORTS
Analysis Of - Articles Shows Only

Washington.-Thec cost of living, at
ter rising steadily since 1907. except
In 1911, took a downward trend dur.
ing 1915. A report by the bureau OF
labor, analyzing retail prices Of 20 Ar.
ticles OF food, shows that relative TO
tail prices during 1915 averaged one
per cent lower thas in 1914. Meats,
lard and eggs averaged from one to
nine per cent lower, while potatoes
were % per cent lower. Wheat -four.
corn meal and granulated sugar were
higher than In 1914, hour being 20 Per
cent and sugar II per cent higher.
Commenting on statements that the
European war IL the dominating in
nuence now controlling price changes
Of all commodities. the report says:
1T II true that retail food prices in
creased greatly Immediately after the
outbreak Of the war, and It seems
probable that they have been main
tanned at q higher level ever since
As q consequence Of the increased de-
mand abroad for our foodstuffs. A
study of the retail price statistics OF
the bureau. however. will convince any
one that. with the exception of sugar.
-four and possibly corn meal, the
prices Of the principal articles OF food
since October. 1914, have been mainly
governed by local and seasonal con-
ditons and not by the extraordinary
exigencies brought about by war.
1.-THE price of sugar shot up 81 per
cent from July Is to Aug. Is, 1914. The
elimination of beet sugar coming from
Germany, Austria and Russia to the
American market has kept sugar
prices high during 1915.
while flour did not jump in price
50 spectacularly as sugar, the cutting
down of the area devoted to wheat
growing In Western Europe and the
cutting of of Russian wheat from
Western Europe, resulting from the
war, have so increased the demand
for American wheat and flour that
flour prices have advanced even more
than sugar prices.
Beef prices increased suddenly at
the beginning Of the war. hut soon fell
again, since which they have behaved
normally"
