nearly all the money that had been
withdrawn.
The affair is an outcome or the
reflection in Portugal Of the stringent
financial and economic situation which
seems to prevail in the markets Of
Europe. Business in Lisbon was vir-
tually at a standstill in part of last
month owing to the continued fall in
the rate Of exchange which, in the
opinion of the Portuguese. attained
alarming proportions. The situation
was aggravated also by a new finan-
-cial program which threatened to
make a heavy increase in taxation.
Other factors which have contribu-
ted to the depression are bad crops
excess of imports over exports, short
age of foodstuffs and fuel. profiteer-
ing and incessant strikes.

LIVING COST IS
BECOMING LOWER
Department of Labor Figures Show
Reduction in Pensacola.
BY GEORGE n. MANNING.
Washington Correspondent of The
lonrpaIl

Journal)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 22.-The
cost of living in Pensacola has dropped
1913 per cent since June, 1920, when
the peak of high living prices was
reached, and has gone back almost to
the level of December, 1919, accord
ing to figures on living costs for 80
cities announced today by the bureau
of labor statistics, department of Ia
Dor.
The statistics show that since De-
cember 1914, when the bureau first
began tabulating the living costs,
prices have advanced 1862 per cent TO
date in Pensacola. Starting from De-
cember 1914 they advanced 1.3 by De-
cember, 1915; 14.7 by December, 1916;
Ale per cent by December, 1917; Ills
by December, 1918; IT'S per cent by
June. 1919: 101.5 per cent by Deem
Der, 1919; 1865 per cent by June, 1920.
and then receded to 1862 per cent by
December, 1920.
Prices of some living necessities have
receded beyond the 1913 per cent av-
erage during the past six months.
Food prices, for instance, have
dropped about rs per cent since last
June. and have gone back almost to
the level of December. 1917. Clothing
for both male and female has also
dropped about rs per cent during the
past six months in Pensacola.
Housing costs, on the other hand,
which decreased gradually from De-
cember, 1914 to December, 1917. have
since then continued their advance,
and represent today an increase of
about 80 per cent over 1914.
Compared with food prices in Pen
sacola in December. 1914, the price adj
vances were December, 1915, per cent;
December, 1916, 17.6 per cent; Decem-
Der, 1917, sos per cent; December, 1918,
1852 per cent; June 1919, TAP per cent;
December, 1919, 500 per cent; June.
1920, 90.1 per cent, and back in De-
cember, 1920, to 65.5 per cent. AS the
cost of food is about 40 per cent of
the total cost of living this material
reduction in the cost of food in Pen
sacola in the past six months is GER
tain to be felt in the total living cost.
Fuel and light has advanced about
90 per cent in the past six years and
is still going up.
Furniture and furnishings after max
ing an advance of 224 per cent in June
1920 from December 1914, receded a
meager per cent in the past six
months.

Big GAME IN MAINE
MOST PLENTIFUL
Deer Frisky and Fat, With
Partridges Never More
Abundant.

Speoio, Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
BANGOR. Oct. 29.-Timber cruisers
lately returned from Washington coun-
ty, which is Names furthest cast, say
that. no matter how hard the times may
be. there Is no need of any man starving
down there il he can shoot fairly
straight. for never since the landing of
Sieur de Mont. centuries before there
was Maine Legislature to pass pro-
tective laws. was big game and small
game mere plentiful than now.
No one may shoot a moose now, q
close time having been established on
that game to give it a chance to recover
from the slaughter OF years past. but
the woods of eastern Maine are reported
to be fairly alive with young bulls
which are as cocky and independent as
SO many bull terriers. The moose seem
to know that it's against the statutes
to shoot at them. Deer OF which any
man who can do it is welcome to shoot
two. are multitudinous. frisky and fat
Partridges never were more plentiful
the warm, dry spring having enabled
the broods to mature as seldom happens

But it is the bears that are the most
prominent and Independent citizens OF
the eastern wilds. They are there In
legion. and their impudence far SUR
passes that of the bull moose. This year
in Washington county, according To
serious minded men just back from
there, bears are positively insolent
Maybe the failure of the blueberry crop
has peeved them. Bears dote on blue
berries. and as there were few berries
of any kind this season bruin has been
obliged to look up other restaurants and
do some hard travelling to find them.
Farmers have to sit UP nights with rifles
ready to protect their sheep pens and
save their young cattle, and even the
orchards and truck gardens OF settle
ments have been raided by the furry
bandits. There is price upon bruins
head. but somewhow or other not many
men are trying to earn It.

LoWyer Here to Be Ques-
toned About Orncntenf.

A $500 platinum plate w ch was an

Mr.. Perrys deposition will be ftr-
warded to Bogota.
Jose Mario Arengo. present colombian
Consul General. explained TO .he cDurt
that his Government is suing one NJ
terto Soto for the price of the plate.
Soto was an attache of the Consulate
here in 1917, and had the plate for trans
portation to Colombia by soino trusty

Mr.. Perry asserted he was willing to
