And, strange to say, the investiga-' tion showed New York is not the high- est priced town in the country as usu- ally painted by visitors and natives themselves. It does run a close second to the “honor,” however, but New Ha- ven wins first place. | On August 1 last the United Press asked grocers, housewives, ice dealers,| coal dealers, dairymen, etc., in twenty-| six cities of the United States and Can- ada for retail price quotations for that day on fourteen commodities that go largely to make up a day’s living. The) articles quoted were as follows: sugar, flour, butter, eggs, milk, potatoes, roast beef, ham, veal, sirloin, pork chops, lamb, ice and coal, To arrive at a basis for comparison so that it could be determined which is the costliest city to live in, the prices per pound, dozen, or ton, as the case may be, were totalled for each city and that total used as the key to the city’s costliness or cheapness. The accompanying table gives the details of the research and shows the actual prices obtained by the United Press for the articles mentioned. The total cost for the fourteen commodities for Dallas was $15.97, while for New Haven, Conn., it was $34.08, or more than twice the cost for the Texas city. The average of all the cities, or for the| United States, was $21.02. Chicago, second city of the country in population, stands fourth from last place with a total of $18.82.

Near the bottom of the list, there are, besides Chicago, such cities as Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Columbus, where re- ports as gathered by the United Press show the articles quoted cost $19.44, $19.13 and $18.68. The average for the United States, as was expected, stands near the mid- dle of the list, but there are fifteen cities where costs are above the aver- age, while only eleven boast lower price scales, Milwaukee, Portland, Ore.,, Harris- burg, Pa., Montreal and Oklahoma City pceupy, the second five positions after ‘Washington. Following immediately after them are to be found Indianapolis, St. Paul, Lincoln, Neb., New Orleans and San Antonio, Texas.

Among these cities the prices vary be- tween $19.48 and $20.88, the totals for Springfield and St. Louis, which, it! happens, lie only two and a half hours apart. is NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—(By.
