![/ total value shows an increase of $121,000 probably made up by the in¬ creased prices since war broke out. Table A below will show that prices of staple articles have risen in nearly every case and I consider an overall rise of from 8 — 10% would be a fair estimate of the prices at the end of 1939 compared with those of 1938.
