The figure on August 1 was $ 102.9S5. which compares with $105,2 11> in July an I $1)9,846 a year ago. The decline is attributed to the fa vorable progress of thov.crops, which by the opening of August gave assur an?e of an enormous production of the leading cereals, ami these are of great weight in determining the In dex rs'umber, nwirtK to the many bushels of wheat, corn and oats, con sumed per capita. In the breadstuffs section alone there was a decrease of almost. exactly for the month, whereas the total tall in the Index Number was S:i.'2 3 Prices are now at the lowest posi tion since last October, and show an Advance of about three per cent., compared with the level a year ago, which is largely due to higher prices for dairy and garden products, cloth ing. metals and miscellaneous. There is no occasion for uneasiness in such a decluie in commodity prices as occurred during July, the Index Number says.since it isreadilv traced to liberal crops rather than any loss in domestic demand. learnings of (^entral I.ie.es.
