with the scales proposed by the trunk

cost of living was 5A.8 per cent
above what it was in July, 1914.
This represents an increase of less
than one-tenth of one per cent since

in the entire budget within the month
was a slight increase in clothing
prices which had an insignificant eff
feet on the budget as a whole. Deal
ers are of the opinion that there will
be little or no change in clothing
prices within the next few months
and real estate operators report the
same regarding house rents. The
future price of coal for domestic use
is said to depend largely on the out
come of the present strike on both
