COST OF LIVING
Up FIRST Time
IN THREE YEARS
Increase of 8 Per Cent Is
Due to Rise in Food
Prices.

For the first time since Sep
TENDER, 1880, there has been an in
crease in the cost Of living Of wage
earners, according to the index of
the National Industrial Conference
Board. The increase, which
amounted to 8 per cent, was due
almost entirely to a substantial rise
IN food prices. Total living costs in
May were IA per cent lower than
IN May, 1882, and 27.1 per cent low
er than in May, 1929.
The purchasing value of the
dollar, on the base, 1923-lOO cents.
was 1887 cents in May, as COM
pared with 1899 cents in April. For
the entire period covered by the
boards computations, the purchas-
ing power of the dollar was highest
at 1913 cents n July, 1914, and low
est at 800 cents in July, 1920.
Increase Is Larger
AlVnough a seasonal upturn in
1000 prices is generally observed
between April and May, the increase
OF SO per cent between these two
months of this year is mucn larger
IMAM the usual seasonal rise. Com
pared with prices in MAY 1882.
Ihere mas been decline of rs per
cent and since May of four wears
ago a decline of 38.9 per cent.
Rents continued on their dou,,,-
ward trend, declining 8 per cent
since April. From thirteen of the
~ cities included in the index
nigner rentals were reported: from
Cnlrty-four cities, lower rentals
ana from the remaining cities. no
cnange. Since May 1882, and Nav
1879, rents have declined 136 nsr
cent and 81 per cent Respectively
Inc clothing index as a whole
remained the same in Nav as in
April. Small increases in the aver
age prices Of twenty-four of the
Iorty-seven articles of clothin0
covered were offset by declines in
The prices of sixteen articles while
no change was noted in the prices If
seven articles. Since May, 1892 the
average cost of clothing covered in
thls budget has fallen 9.3 per cent
ana since May, 1929, 1872 per cent.
Coal Prices Fall
Coal prices fell 80 per cent he
tween April and May, more thar is
generally noted between these two
months. The decrease since the he
ginning of this year, however was
only slightly larger than the usual
seasonal decline during the first five
months of the year. Since Nav
1882, there has been a reduction Of
~ per cent and since May, 1929 of
ID per cent.
Inc very small increase of l per
cent in the sundries index was
caused by slightly higher prices of
furniture and house furnishings.
Inc sundries index as a whole was
AZ per cent lower in May than in
May, 1882, and 81 per cent lower
than in May, 1929.

u. S. DOMESTIC,
FOREIGN TRADE
SHOWING GAINS
Dollar Depreciation Aids
Buyers of American
Products.
BY RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY
United Press Financial Correspondent

Copyright. 1888 by United Press
WASHINGTON, June 28.-Sweep-
ing gains in domestic business and
a pronounced improvement in for
eign trade were revealed today by
governmental statistics.
Despite exchange restrictions,
high tariffs and other barriers for
eign trade of the United States has
recovered rapidly from the low
points made earlier this year and
foreign markets have Frightened
materially.
The gain was ascribed principally
to increased business activity in
the United States, which caused
American firms to buy more goods
abroad and thus enabled foreigners
to buy more from the UnlIed States.
Dollar OFF 20 Per Cent
Another important factor is 20
per cent depreciation in the gold
value of the American dollar. This
enabled foreigners whose currency
has not deprecated to buy prod
ucts in the United States at a cor
responding discount from previous
levels.
Combined United States imports
and exports in May were valued at
1921 100000, department of COM
merce figures showed. This was the
highest since December, when they
were worth $229000,0OO Foreign
trade normally is on the downtrend
in May and June, but estimates for
the latter month indicate a volume
as great or greater than in May.
Imports Show Increase
Imports this month, which gen.
orally are closely paralleled by ex-
ports, are we'll in excess of June,
1882. In the first twenty-four days
of June the United States collected
$l8,003,681 in customs duties COM
pared with $13,870,553 in the cor
responding period last year Gus
toms receipts in May were $20,515,-
215, the highest since November,
when they amounted to $24,O5O,876.
The principal increase in Ameri-
can sales abroad, department of
commerce Statisticians said, has
been in products which have not
risen in price in the domestic mar
ket in sympathy with the decline in
the dollar.
Cotton Exports Rise
According to the department,
American chemical firms have
gained an advantage in the Cana
dian market; American petroleum
is supplementing Rumanian oil in
the European market; low-priced
American automobile sales in Swe-
den have increased and American
countries are selling more radios in
the New Zealand market.
Despite the domestic rise in
prices, cotton exports in June were
above June, 1882, and well in excess
of the two preceding months. Other
American products which have risen
in price have not Jared SO we'll.

standing on the crucial issues or in the case OF
the conversations with the French. downright mis-
understandings.
That being the case, the governments very
much to blame for bringing the conference together
at this time. There is not a man of any experience
in any country who does not know that unless the
preliminary preparation is we'll done, a great con-
ference in blaze of publicity attended by hundreds
Of aimless delegates and experts can add only to the
international confusion.
Apart therefore, from more or less abstract dis
cusslons and a certain amount of exploratory re-
searches, this conference must wait while Great
Britain, France, and the United States try to work
out the understandings they should have reached
before they brought siXtYseYen DELEGATIONS London

While the street does not have any
positive views on Frances possible action
it Is already wondering about the probable
effect security prices if she should jump into the
pool with the others And strangely enough it is I'M
able to make up its mind about what might happen
Rumors of such action have brought about market
during the past but there those who
maintain such step would be bullsh.
One argument presented is that if France did stub
her toe capital would tend flow in the direction of
the United States This, it is argued, would raise the
value of the dollar in foreign exchange markets and
bring about recession here This argument would
to be little far fetched for it would not seem
reasonable to expect money to flow here when the
country obviously has adopted policy of depreciating
her currency. The funds might naturally be

over Seaman Tom Watson, British
title holder before $4,000 fans at
Madison Square garden.
The former Cuban flash, who is
recognized as featherweight king
In New York state, was slower than
he used to be. His timing was off;
the dynamite was gone from his
punches and he was tired after the
seventh round.
Referee Pete Hartley and the two
judges voted unanimously for Cho-
colate, and the decision was popu-
lar with the crowd However, sew
eral boxing writer's thought Watson
won by a wide margin. This writ
er gave Chocolate seven rounds,
Watson six, and rated two even.
Despite the Patent Leather Kids
condition, he and Watson turned
in a good fight, and with one or
two lapses, kept the customers yell
ing. Watson outweighed the ebony
fighter only 1852 pounds to 123k,
but appeared much larger and
stronger.
Chocolate best round was the
10th when he staggered the British
er with a glancing right to the
Jaw, and floored him with hard
left hook to the same spot. But
Watson was up at the count of
three, and coming in again. 1t was
the only knockdown of the fight.
Watson showed best in the 18th,
and might have won the bout then,
if he had been more savagely ag-
gressive in following up his adyan-
tage. He staggered the Cuban with
hard. straight right to the chin.
A furry of rocking hooks to the
Cuban's head unquestionably would
have won the title then for Watson.
| Unless Chocolate trains hard be-
fore he meets Watson in a return
bout In London in August, he is
virtually certain to drop his title
claims. Chocolate sails for Spain
next week.
