Ten of the 80 cities reported higher
valuation figures for December than

VALUE OF DOLLAR
SHOWS SHARP GAIN
Cost of Living and Whole.

rency AnaIyzed.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SpeCldl DlSpdtCfl 10 ne StdE
NEW YORK, February 4.-Discus-
sions about imitation, deflation and re-
flation have aroused widespread inter-
est in the cost-of-living dollar and the
purchasing power Of the wholesale
dollar.
Some assert that "the cost Of living
is less than before the war and offsets
pay reductions of the last two years" !"
Some declare that the purchasing pow
er Of the wholesale dollar Is up only
slightly
What are the facts?
The cost Living dollar, based on
the retail price trend of clothing. food
and shelter, last year averaged 1913
cents, using the July, 1914. dollar Of 100
cents as base. The purchasing pow
er of the wholesale dollar last year
averaged 1887 cents, compared with
the 100-cent dollar of July, 1914.
Values Compared.
The cost-of living dollar. based on
figures furnished by the National In
dustrial Conference Board and ad-
justed by Moody's, touched 64.3 cents
in March, 1922, the bottom of the post
war depression, and hit 585 cents in
November, 1925, which was the post
war peak of prices. Last December
this pre-war dollar of 100 cents could
purchase 82.6 cents worth of goods.
The purchasing power of the whole
sale dollar is based on figures fur
nished by the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics. This index. including some ITO
commodities, is one of the best of its
kind in the world OF course, whole
sale prices and retail prices sometimes
lag, as is shown by the following fig
ures, which also were adjusted by
Moody's.
In point Of buying power the whole
sale dollar dropped to 1876 cents in
January. 1922. It reached ga cents
in November, 1925. the postwar peak
In wholesale quotations. The Decem-
ber, 1882, average was 1915 cents.
Commodity Prices.
OF course, the tables are based on
many items, selected to get a BIRDS
eye view Of prices. Some commodities
have fallen far below 1914 levels. Also,
few workers in new professions or
businesses are now receiving, as indi-
viduals, the highest salaries they ever
received, but it would be unwise from
such isolated examples to draw positive
inferences such as the public recently
has heard uttered by some banking and
industrial leaders.

Izaak Walton League and espe-

bill of Pennsylvania county which
would materially damage fishing

The wire was signed by U. G..

man of the fish and game commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce
Noah Hollowell, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce; A. v. Ed
wards. mayor of Hendersonville,
and George w. Fletcher, assistant
clerk of the superior court.
The six points of the Izaak Wal
ton League are to oppose a sepa-
rate game commission, to oppose
free rabbit hunting, to oppose bills
permitting land owners to invite
persons to hunt or fish on their
property without license, to in
troduce bills protecting the red
fox, this measure to be statewide.
to oppose all county fish and game
bills, to oppose reductions in ap-
preparations for the forest serv-
ice beyond that upon which this
department can. in the opinion of
Colonel Harrelson, economically
and efficiently operate.
The bill, it is felt here, will ma
terially damage fishing in this
county as most of the streams
used by fishermen in this county
have their sources in Transylvania
county.
