These contrasted columns show a more or less materia! 
rise in prices in every grade and at every town named, 
although the advance is by no means uniform. 
The course of prices throughout the whole nine months of 
1900 may, however, be compared with the figures shown in 
the immediately preceding year by tracing month by month 
the aggregate averages which have been furnished throughout 
these periods by the thirteen markets above quoted.
