Answer For the nine months the

prior 10 the opening of the European
war, the prices on necessities of life
[fell about 99, according. to the fig
ures given hy nation-wide commerqal
agencies, The drop in the price at
sugar was expecially marked. Sihee
the war began, the effect of the tariff
upon prices bas been offset to a cons
siderable deuree by the decline in im.
ports, and the abnormal demand for
inecesaities of life in the war coun
tries, where provisions are carefully
husbhbanded and hoarded for future
use. Abnormal exports of foodstuifs,
becange of the war, have caused in
creases in the retail price of some of
