 Smaller increases in such things as housing, fuel and light and miscella- neous items lowered the general aver age increase, general percentages be- ing as follows:
 r Portland Me, "A; Boston 72; New York 79; Philadelphia 76; Baltimore 83; Norfolk S7; Savannah 79; Jack , sonville "A; Mobile 76; Houston 80; Portland Ore, 69; Seattle 72; Los Angeles 65; San Francisco and Oak land 65; Chicago "A; Detroit S4; 1, Cleveland 77 and Buffalo 84. In all instances the increase in clothing in prices was greater than any other i item.
 Percentages fer the period Decem- ber 1917 to June 1919 for the two items, food and clothing fer other cities show increases as follows:
 Atlanta 40; Birmingham 29; Gin cinnati 4S; Denver 53; Indianapolis 40; Kansas City A; Memphis 38 i Minneapolis 40; New Orleans AS 1 Pittsburgh 45; Richmond 42; St. Louis 39, and Scranton 49.
 As in the case of the larger period the general percentages were some what lowered by slighter increases iE l the cost of other necessaries. l General increase percentages fol- low:
