It com- pletes the list of articles which car be listed as foodstuffs, snd shows con- clusively that, in regard to the necessities of life which come under this heading, Kingston is one of the cheapest places in Canada in which to live. The following is the list of grocery prices: Kingston Price. Ontario Average. 10.8 Dominion Average. 11a 10.5 556.9 58.7 54.6 52.5 31.6 15.2 Gran. Sugar .. Yellow sugar ... Tea, black ...

That completes the list of foodstuffs, and the next article to be con- gidered is fuel, both coal and wood. In this department Kingston does not make quite so good a showing as in some of the others. The price of coal is slightly lower here than elsewhere, but wood is higher in most cases. The price quoted in Kingston for anthracite coal is $16.50 a ton. The average for the dominion is $17.74 per ton, and for the province of Qpiario it is $16.82 per ton, a slight balance in favor of the city. The long cord of hard wood for Kingston is priced at $15. The average price throughout the dominion is $13.97, and in Ontarig it is $14.61. iengths of hard wood are priced in Kingston at $16 per cord, For the whole dominion the average price per cord is $15.92, while the average in Ontario is $16.65 per cord. price $11.35 per cord. Millweod and cuttings in Kingston are quoted at $14 per cord, which is a price slightly in excess of the dominion average of $10.41 per cord, and the Ontario average of $11.55. House Rents. In the matter of house rents there is considerable room for differ- ence of opinion, and there may be some who will question the correctness It must be remembered, how- of the figures given by the Labor Gazette. ever, that these figures are taken from the average rent paid in the city for a certain class of house, and even although there may be some ten- ants whose rents are higher than those quoted, the variation caused by location has to be taken into account. The table shows that the .monthly rent for a six-roomed house, with modern conveniences in Kingston, ranges from $20 to $30 per month, and this may be taken as a safe margin to allow for differences in rent according to locality. The domin- fon average rent for a house of this type is $27.32, and the average of Ontario is $28.68. For a six-roomed house with incomplete modern con- veniences or with none at all, the Kingston rent is given as ranging from $18 to $23 per month, and this may again be taken as being a very fair rental. Throughout the dominion the average rent for this kind of home is $19.28, and in Ontario the average is $20.20. From these figures it can safely be said that rents in Kingston are tairly close to the average, and although the rents locally may scem high to the tenants, there is the consolation of knowing that they are mot any which og being paid elsewhere in Canada, : The Summary. A summary of all these prices bears out this contention stadtly:* "By taking one single unit of each of these items, and adding them all to- gether, and taking only the six-roomed house with conveinences, it is found that there is only a slight difference in the totals, and that difference is in favor of Kingston. The total of ome 'unit of everything on the above lists, purchased in Kingston, would amount to $117.60. Taking the do- minion average for the basis for the purchase of exactly the same list of goods, the price would amount to $120.62, and with the Ontario averages as the basis of cost, the price would be $122.68. Kingston, therefore, has the advantage in the sum total of living costs as compared with both of these averages, and so can be safely reckoned as a place in' which the cost of living is quite moderate when compared with other places, This is | ; although in im-| | ported dried fruits the average of the dominion and of Ontario is higher | The following is the table of prices in this depart- | the Kingston prices | In every case they are below the | The following aré the listed | This splendid record of cheap living costs is maintained throughout | Stove Soft wood in Kingston sells at $13 per long cord, while the dominion average price is $10 and the Ontario average than the average | nate. i f { ABERNETHY'S Shoe Bargains. $2.25 Ladies Fine Grey Kid Boots.
