Seaboard buying was also a stimu-

reported slow. At the close prices
were half to one cent higher. Corn
opened with a rush of buying, but

COST OF LIVING INCREASES

The cost of living in the United
States is still going up, according
to the Department of Labor statis-
ties made public yesterday.
Detroit presents the sharpest
jump in the cost of the family
budget, with Norfolk, Va, second
and Boston third. The increa Sc
from December, 1919. to June of
the present year is marked in all
sections of the country. In De
troit 1t was nearly 30 per cent, and
IN Boston l6 per cent. New York
City's increase over this period of
SIX months closely approximates
that of Boston.
cities. including Baltimore Phila.
delphia and Scranton, in addition
to those already named, show ad-
vances in living costs larger than
those in the latter half Of 1919 and
there is nothing in the Department
of Labor statistics indicating anv
cessation, of the upward trend.
Despite this, however. unofficial
forecasts made by Department OF
Labor officials are to the effecr
that the final half of the present
year will show a recession back
to the December, 1919, level, IL not
lower. The biggest decreases are
anticipated in textiles, with food
stuffs next in order. Housing costs
are still going up, and there is no
sign OF any turn In the tide. In
Detroit the rental cost imposed
upon the average laboring family
has risen to more than II per cent
OF the total budget cost, as against
less than 10 per cent three years
Ago.

Declaring unfair certain rates
charged by Chicago commission
men on cooperative shipments of
livestock. Secretary of Agriculture
Meredith yesterday evoked the
powers of the food control act to fix
other rates to become effective next
Monday it was announced at the
Department of Agriculture. Action
was taken as a result of a hearing
held in Chicago April IL and l3, at
which seven commission firms op-
Grating under Federal licenses ap-
peared in answer to a complaint
filed with the department by the
American Society of Equity.
In it's complaint the society
charged that as a result of action
by the Chicago Livestock Exchange
members are required to charge a
different and higher rate on live
stock in car lots having more than
one owner. The difference between
the rates for single and plural own
ership, il was complained, was un-
reasonable and discriminatory in
that it was laid for the purpose of
discouraging cooperative market
ing of livestock by farm organiza-
tions.
Secretary Meredith's action was
in the form of a notice to the COM
mission men that the present rates
must be discontinued and that the
following schedule of rates would
be allowed for car lots having more
than one owner in addition to the
rate for a car lot having a single
owner:
For more than one and not more
than ten owners, So for more than
ten but not more than twenty
owners, So; for more than twenty
owners, $3.50: provided that in no
case shall any one owner of such
car lot pay a higher rate than the
maximum chgge for a car having
a single owner. -..--
The order, it was pointed out, is

MONEY AT 7 PER CENT

New York, Aug. 11.-Stocks were
all buoyant in Wall Street today,
and material net advances were on
record at the end OF the day in
nearly everything. 1t was simply
a reaction from the pessimism of
recent days. The buying was part
ly for short account, but the i'm
provement was due chiefly to the
fact that banks eased up on the
business men whom they have been
separating from their investments.
What little short interest there
was covered quickly. Professionals
recognizing the hands of bankers
in the market refrained from fur
ther selling. Therefore the mar
ket within the next day or two
will be permitted to prove itself.
Money was at per cent for re-
newals, and fell to s y per cent in
the last hour. Sterling was strong
err The foreign situation was not
improved. but rather became more
complicated because of President
Wilson's note to the allies. The
financial world looks upon the Rus
sian situation as another Mexican
mess, but with vastly more impor-
tant complications likely to grow
out Of it.
Chemicals an Aggressive Seller.
About the only aggressive selling
of the day was in the chemical
stocks, and this was merely by way
of a preliminary drive in anticipa-
tion of announcement of completion
of the merger.
Although unofficial denial is made
there is high authority for stat
ing that the MaXwell-Chalmers out

shipping shares.
Shipping shares also came back
rather sharply, but this was due
largely to a short interest which
had selected them as easy victims.
The fact that railroad stocks did
not gain as much as the industri-
ais showed that the recovery was
purely technical. Because of the
advance Of freight rates and the
promise Of a square deal for the
railroads. holders of those stocks
have not liqUidated, and the pro-
fessionals have hesitated to sell
them short.
Railroad stocks.
In fact. the rails have been so
stubborDy held that in the past
day or two there has been talk or
a raid on them by professionals
who believe that. in addition to the
substantial investments of business
men. there is also a very large
public interest in the rails that
could be dislOdged with a sharp
drive.
Much of the strength of sterling
is due to the speculative purchases
by exchange brokers.
