Everything Except Rents OF Fine
Apartments Have Gone Up
Under War.
JUMP Is TO 200 PER CENT
Meats Head the List; but Clothing ls
Not Far Behind-scarcity Of La
Dor Is Big Factor In Increased
Cost OF Living.

Paris.-One single item excepted,
everything In France has advanced
from 25 to 200 per cent in the last
three years. The rent of large apart
ments is the only item which has de-
creased since the war began, and that
is due to the fact that thousands of
foreigners-Americans, chiefy-pack-
ed Off to the United States in August,
1914, subleaslng their homes for
song, and thousands of French people
who formerly had handsome places
can no longer afford the upkeep, es-
pecially with coal almost impossible to
get and with the servant question Il
greater problem than 1t ever was.
Today one can find handsomely
furnished apartment Of seven rooms
or more in a fine modern building, with
all improvements, at cheaper rental
than the place would have cost un-
furnished before the war. But one
would find also an elevator-of the
automatic brand-that does not work,
radiators with no heat, hot water
pipes with no hot water, and re-
striction on the very amount of gas
and electricity consumed per month.
And with positions at good wages in
munition factories open to every girl
from sixteen years up, It is almost
impossible TO find house servants.

Small Apartments Dearer.

Rentals for apartments of one, two,
three, or even four rooms, on the
other hand, have mounted steadily.
They are in demand by the well-todo
refugees, Belgians and those from
the north of France who arrive in
large patches daily.
Telephones were increased exactly
so per cent year ago. Today line
costs 600 francs yearly instead of 400
with unlimited calls-but the sub
scriber must pay for the instrument
and pay for the wiring and other work
done by the electrician who installs it.
Bread is truly the staff of life Of the
French, and bread has not risen in
price. One buys still the long loaf for
five sous, or exactly one-fifth of 1t for
one sou. But 1t Is no longer the Won
derful white pain" for which France
was noted; 1t Is dark, rather sour and
soggy, and is n day old before being
sold. 1t Is understood that when the
nation goes on bread cards this au-
tumn and the amount allotted to each
will be smaller, the bread will be
whittier and better and served fresh.
Wine, next to bread, Is essential at
the French table, and here one finds
a sharp advance in cost, Before the
war bottle Of fair win ordinaire,
either red or white, could be bought
for 60 centimes, or II cents. Today
the same wine will cost ut least one
franc, probably 1,25 and possibly 1.5O,
md q deposit must be left on all bot
lies because there Is great shortage
With bottle manufacturers working
almost entirely for the army. And
after one has paid five sous deposit
on the bottle and returns it he usually
receives only three sous back, the
wine merchant explaining there Is
charge of two sous for rental of the
bottle.
The better the wine the greater the
increase In price, especially If 1t comes
from Champagne or any other section
In the zone of the armies where there
are difficulties to the industry. Good
dry champagne that cost II francs be-
fore the war now commands Is or 20
francs, and tae sweeter varieties are
only franc or so cheaper.

Year Closes With
Brisk Buying Of Stocks

New York, Dee. 31.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
The years last session of the stock
market was distinguished by unusually
brisk buying. Most of the demand
was for industrial shares The rails
were to Ia large extent neglected and
were irregular. Interest centered
mainly in the steel, shipping, motor,
munitions and equipment issues. The
traction group was also strong.
Weekend developments were not OF
nature strikingly to affect the coruse
of business, Since the question of rail
road control has been taken out of the
realm of the speculative, interest
has become centered in the outlook
for peace.
1t cannot be said for a certainty
that the peace talk had any particular
influence on the market, unless it
were to tend to limit offerings.
Save for few individual setbacks,
the list held we'll to midday, when a
new squirt of buying carried prices to
still higher levels. United States
Steel crossed 90 for the first time in
nearly month.

Arranging to Make

Labor Commissioner Hoff is sending
letter to the oranges and farmers
unions of the state with regard to the
plans for making survey of farm
crop and labor conditions for the year
1918, so as to avoid recurrence of
the labor shortage of 1911. He says
the survey will be made in conjunction
with the 0. A. G. and the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture. Printed ques
tion blanks will be sent out and it Is
expected the farmers and all others to
whom they are sent will give their
hearty cooperation. The first week in
February has been designated as the
period for cooperation and concen-
trated effort to secure the desired in
formation from the farmers. This in
formation will be compiled in the Of

Tacoma, Wash, Dee. 31.-Flood con

much improved today, due to the ces-
sation of rainfall over Sunday While
a large area of the valley is still un-
der water, the flood is slowly reced-
ing and further damage is not looked
for unless there should be a sudden
rise in mountain streams. Unseason-
ably warm weather continues, but the
rainfall today is light and most of the
snow in the foothill of the Cascades
