A concert is to be given in East Haddam opera house by Miss Iliza Swan of this piace and three other pu- pils of the New England Conservatory of Music, who will he her guests. Miss this country, or even to the countries in which war conditions are looked upon as the immediate cause of the higher prices. From the tea felds of Java and India, the tin mines of the Malayan Peninsula, the silk areas of China and Japan, the sugar flelds of Java, Hawall and Cuba, $he sisal planfations of Mexico, the copper mines of South America and Japan, the indigo farme of India, the hemp fields of the Philippines, the logwood forests of the West Indies, the cur- rant orchards of Greece, the rubber plantations of the Orient, the cham- pagne producing area of France, the cotton flelds of Egypt, and even the diamond mines of South Africa, come statistical proof of advance in prices of their respective products. A_compilation by the National City Bank of New York of the prices at which varied products of these wide- ly distributed areas are being sold in the places of production, shows that the advance in prices is gemeral. The United States has pecular fa- cilities for determining the prices of the world-products in their respective places of production. Her custome jaws require that the valuations at which merchandise is imported shall be those of the merchandise in the country from which exported to the United States and not the value on reaching the port at which it enters this country. Thus the values named by the importers of any article, from any part of the world, must be the price at which the goods were €old In the place from which exported to this country, or if the importer does not choose to name the price which he paid for it, then the average price of the article in the wholesale markets of the port from which it was ship- ped to this country is used in deter- mining the value. So it is quite feasible to determine the average price at which any given article or class of articles is sold in any country from which imported, and at the same time determine the average world export price, by com- paring the total quantity of ali the importations of the article in question avith the total valuation Dicéll upon it by the importers of the entire quan- tity. If, for instance, you want to know the price at which the coffes reaching the United States from Bra- zil in any given month was exported from that couniry you get at least a close approximation of the average price by dividing the stated quantity into value. Then if you want to de- termine the price at which the coffes of Colombia left that country you do so by comparing quantities and value of the Colombia coffes imported gnd find_the average price of the Colombia. or Venezuela or Central American coffee higher than the average Bra- z#ian. If you want, however, to de- termine the price of all coffees import- ed in the latest available months with the same month two or three or four vears ago, you do this by taking the total quantity imported and compar- quantity and stated value for the val- uation is in all cases that at the port or country whence shipped to the United States. Such comparisons show in a very targe proportion of the cases marked increases in the values, at the place of production, of the merchandise brought into the country. Raw cot- ton, for example, most of it from Eg- ypt, was imported in March, 1917, at an average price of 31.8 cents per pound, against 163 cents in March, 1914, a date immediately preceding the war, and _these, be it remembered, represent the export price at the port country from which sent to us. Sisal imports in March of the current year were $302 per ton against $117 in March 1914: copper 29.5 cents per pound, against 14.1 cents, thres years earlier; goat skins . 62.2 cents per pound,’ against 25.7 cents three vears earlier; cheese at an average of 34 cenis per pound. against cents; flax seed at $2.35 per bushel, against $129; beans at $3.21 per bushel against $156; potatoes at $1.77 against T2cents three years ago; indigo at $2.00 per pound, against 15 cents per pound in the same months in 1914; logwood at $36.00 per ton _against $11.00; combing wool at 48 "cents against 24.6 cents in March 1914; leaa at 6.5 per pound, against 3 cents; cop- er at 205 cents ageinst 14.1 cents Tee years ago; cotton stockings at $3.27 per dozen paid against § in March 1914: sugar at exactly double the price of three years ago; currants at an advance of 300 per cent: while cattle hides. manila hemp, haw si'k India rubber, tin, lumber, cotton and woolen cloth’ and many other articles show advances, some of them as much as 100 per cent. Wood pulp, mechan- ically ground, shows an average im- port price in March, 1917, of $30.73 per ton, against $16.35 in July 191¢; chem- ical pulp unbleached $96.90 per ton against $36.75, and chemical pulp bleached, $133.11 per ton against $49.20 in 1914. Al of these advances occur in the price at which the mer- chandise in question was sold in the country from which exported to the United States. War Exports From the United States To Russ Bxports from the United States to Russia in the first three years of the war will aggregate nezry twice as much as in the fifty years preceding the war. A _compilation by the Na- tional City Bank of New York shows that the total exports to Russia in the first three years of the war will aggre- gate nearly $1,000,000,000, while the agregate of the fifty years preceding the war war but a little over $500,- 000,000. To be more closely accurate, —tid United States Government figures df the exports to Russia in the fiscal year 1915. the first year of the war, were. $61,000,000. in 1915, $314,000,0000, and in the fiscal year 1917, which ends with the present month, Will approx- while the total domestic export to Russia in the fifty years before the war was about $575,000,000. ‘War materials form, of co! bulk of the exports to Russia period since the beginning of hostili- ties, though railway material is also an important factor 'n the grand total Gunpowder, of which the exports & that country prior to the war wére negligible, amounted to about $57,000,- 000 in 1916, and while Government figh Beehive Coke Production The 1916 in the United States, per ton was higher previous year.

One striking fact in connection w this enormous export to Russia found in the great distance which the merchandise travels to reach its de: tination, the distance which it was being more than half way round the world. Of the $61,000,000 worth of merchandise exported to Russiz in 1915, $23,000,000 worth went via Viadi- vostok, and of the $314,000,000 in 1518 $130,000,000 was billed to Asiatic Rus- sia, though the proportion is not now quite asgreat, since the opening of TRussia’s new port of Kola on the Arg- tic frontage now gives her an all-the- year-round open port through which she can receive mmuch of the merchan- th Excursion to Newporfé The Only Excursion to Newport This Steamer Chester W.
