In tlie New York Sun's review of general prices in August, 1914, and at the present time, it is shown that there has been a distinct advance in the price of metals, dyes, textiles, breadstuiïs, hides and leather, oil, chem icals and drugs, paper, building materials and practically ' all foodstuffs. But the metal prices afford the most in teresting study of the effect of the war upon American in dustries. For thirteen years prior to the first war shock felt in America, the United States Steel Corporation held the price of steel rails at $28 a ton. The independents re tained the same price, believing that they could survive the lean years and make the most of the fat years along with tin* trust. But the war brought into play a new ele ment. With their increased freight business, the railroads also felt able to use better rails. The result was an ad vance of $5 a ton in the price of rails. But lest it be inferred that the railroads are making more monej* than is good for tliem, they have come for ward with a table compiled from market quotations in August, 1914, and recent market quotations. This shows that thirty-five commodities used extensively by railroads have advanced in price from 80 to 700 per cent. Malleable castings and track spikes have advanced only 80 per cent, while high speed tool steel, used extensively in railroad shops, has advanced 700 per cent. The average is well dver 100 per cent. Among other things listed is gasoline, which lias advanced 181.5 per cent in price. All materials purchased by railroads, classed in over 100 different groups, show an average increase pf 42.3 per cent in price. Taking each of the commodities and tracing its rise in price back merely reveals a set of conditions affected more or less by the war and all tending toward an advance. While what is true of the metals is true to a certain ex tent also of many other commodities, it is the rise in metal prices which is causing some anxiety among manufactur ers. It is easy to give the war as an excuse /for prices which on their face seem exorbitant. But iti has taken something like twenty months for the war to get ifi its 'work, and now that prices have soared and a. general feel ing of prosperity has induced liberal buying and exten sions of credit, the tendency to look toward possible peace is manifesting itself among the more conservative. Ilhey are beginning to ask themselves how readily the metal market will adjust itself to a set #f conditions which can not be explained with the single word, "war." They have «-been tauglit that peace and prosperity go together, but a war—tlie other fellow's war—has brought prosperity. Wliat, then, will peace—the other fellow's peace—bring? 4 HARRY'S WIFE gy* Mft S. £VA.
