New England has experienced il
many, many years.
Frosts in Florida
Frequent cold snaps along the
j Gulf coast and Mississippi River.
The German submarine perform
ances.
The heavy demand for horses in
the European war
The spread of the gospel of yege-
tarianism.
And a series of other disconnected
events which are gIibly cited by the
commission merchants and retail deal
ers who must answer questions about
the reasons for higher prices.
Beans for instance.
Take the war and beans, the navy
beans" that form about the most nour-
ishing and most easily preserved diet
for soldiers. Navy beans cost 8 cents
a quart now. Last year they could be
had for and cents.
BY the bushel these beans have shot
up about $50 since last March. They
now sell, wholesale, for 81.
over in Germany the manufacture
OF such luXWies as lard and butter
has been prohibited Hence there have
been heavy shipments of both commo-
dities abroad That is why the house
wife now pays 40 to 43 cents for the
best creamery butter that she could
get last March for 50 cents. And she
pays from - to - cents for the same
grade of lard she could get last year
for II cents.
Cheese has taken long jump.
Cream cheese, made in this country,
S being shipped abroad, and now
costs from % to % cents instead OF
20 cents or less.
Swiss cheese. usually about 80
cents, now cant be had for less than
70 cents.
The fancy imported cheese, Rogue /
Tort Camembert, Limburger ana |
others. cant be had at all. and the
mutations produced here now cost /
more than the real article did before F..
he war
The rising cost Of cream cheese is /
attributed 10 the double cost OF large /
hipments abroad, and the fact that
milk is being used in condensed milks

making.

The cost Of eating is from 10 to IS
per cent higher this March than last
March.
That figure excludes the price Of
meats, which have made even greater
strides. 1t includes provisions OF all
kinds, vegetables, fruits. fish coffee
and teas, and other standard articles
Of diet in every household.
Along with these increases are a
few decreases, such as that in flour
: due to the heavy wheat crop. and in
few green vegetables. because the
farmers planted big crops
Many causes contributed to these
increases. The war has less effect on
vegetables and homes grown fruits and
fish, but even in this field other forces
have conspired to send up the price
For one thing, the unexampled pros
perity has put money into every work

more at the market and at the gro
Gerry store than ever before.
The News has made a thorough in
quiry into Hattiesburg retail prices.
and this is what was found:
The housewife who takes her baske.
on arm and goes marketing is apt to
go home. take a pencil and paper and
start figuring.
Now if she has a good memory. OF
mas kept household account Of the
prices she paid for provisions a veal
ago, she is apt to conclude that the
cost of eating has scared from 10 to
10 per cent over that of March 1915.
She will reach this result even ii
she leaves out of consideration the
cost of meats. which, everybody
knows, has gone up. But it is not SO
generally realized that the price OF
other provisions. green groceries"
vegetables, fruits and fish. have like.
wise gone aeroplaning.
When she attempts a comparison
OF prices she may be puzzled. Fol
some articles, apples and string beans.
for example, have gone down. But
the general trend. she soon will find
out, has been upward.
Wide Variety of Causes.
When she goes seeking the reasons |
from the market wagon economists |
she will find wide variety of causes |.
that list up like the topics in a cur !
rent event class
If she be of philosophical turn OF |
mind she will conclude that this is |
pretty small world, after all, and one /
can't be quite sure that the things she |
reads about under far-away date lines |
may not soon be brought home TO her |
in the family budget.
For example, she may have shiv.
cred with horror, and expended pass
ing sympathy for the victims OF the
Jamaica earthquake, more than eight |
months ago, and then forgot all about
1t until she tried TO buy bananas this
month. and found that that cataclysm |
is costing her about s or 10 cents
dozen on every dozen bananas she
now buys.
Some OF the other passing events
that take money out of her pocket
book, she will find. are such widel,
divergent happenings as these:
The European war.

 man breast, have been waiting With the reports that the Central Powers had instituted peace negotiations spectators and investors alike who had purchased at high figures, food ed the brokerage firms with orders to sell. The result was obvious The market reacted sharply. Had not the brokers, with a view of preventing an actual panic, immediately refused to make any further purchases there is no telling what disastrous financial depressions might have followed.
 The same conditions hold true today except that the stock dealers, having recovered from their fright of yes terday, do not have a gloomy outlook for the future. Brokers still refuse to buy stocks, although they are making a few sales at nominal figures. Thus, business on the Hartford stock ex- change today has been very quiet
 Scovill Extra Dividend.
 The day has not been without its bright features, however, for the re- port of an extra dividend at the Sco- will Manufacturing company has been confirmed. This tends to buoy up the market and keep alive the belief that the present crisis is only temporary. The Scovill Manufacturing company, possibly the largest munitions concern in this part of the country, has voted to nav a regular dividend of 3 per cent, an extra dividend of 10 per cent, and a further extra dividend of 25 per cent. payable in Anglo-French bonds of the 5 per cent. variety.
 The more optimistic investors firm lv believe that the Hull is only tenn porary that the peace proposals will amount to nothing and that the war will be continued with. renewed vigor.
 Many Fear Brokers "Cau."
 Although today the spectators were not as worried SIS they were yesterday, they still finger near tele- phones wherever possible that they may keep in constant touch with con- ditions When the reports were first made public yesterday the frights that accompanied them were amusing to the person who stood to lose noth ing. and pathetic to those who did. Many young men, and also women, who had invested their savings in war stocks, hoping to get rich quick, rushed to order their brokers to sell. They were too late, however, and dis consolate faces told the condition of their minds.
 While many were worried for rear the stocks would drop and they would lose their paper profits, the greatest worry Of the seasoned speculatcrs was that their brokers would "calf' them for more margin and they might be unable to advance t, in which case they would be sold out and their prin- cipal lost. But unless the market col lapses entirely there seems to be no danger of this, and it is to prevent such a collapse that purchases have been discontinued.
