The con- f| ner pays for this waste in the mar- a i of retail-over wholesale prices. f( )m 1890 to 1908, on an average, g] olesale prices have Increased nine cent., while retail prices have in- t] ased sixteen per cent. The differ- n :e between wholesale and retail uea in particular cases, varies m 10-25 per cent, to 100-150 per ,t. 0 f one stops to analyze the" process " retail buying it will be realized t it is the seller only who practl- r< ly sets the price. There is no true " ail market price. Busy or igno- s t people pay what is charged tbeni j*' hout the patience or the power to set. In these days we pay for the " litional costs of dainty and attrac- ' i packages for cereals, crackers, a i and the like. Indeed under the 15 er of special tins an amount of an a Icle is sold at a price which makes s icund cost two or three times as ch as formerly. The psychology c the retail market Is itself a study a no mean interest. Habit, fancy, rice, rumor, emulation, gregarious ion of a set, may play a part.

To spend recklessly is evidence of what some regard as ^ onging to social position. n the margin of the retail over ^ wholesale price, in a community 's well shake-, down into form, re is an opportunity for serious el inges in the co^t of living.
