THE COST OF LIVING.
THE LATEST MOVEMENTS. The abstract of statistics for February says:—The index number for the three food groups as fit January 15 (Dominion weighted average) is 1573, a decrease of 32 points as compared with the preceding month’s figure (1605), and an increase of 47.01 per cent, as compared with that for July, 1914. In the groceries group a rise of 37 points has been recorded—mainly due to all round rises in the prices of tinned fruits and tobacco. The index number for the dairy-products group has fallen 181 points, owing to considerable decreases all round in the prices of bacon and butter. The fall in butter is as much as 5d per pound in the case of some towns. In the meat group prices have remained practically stationary in most towns, the fall of 16 points being due to a decrease in the prices of beef and mutton in some towns.
