Despite the fact that the table is unreadable and you haven't posted anything about what you have tried so far, I will try to help you...

You can get the price via Window Functions - in this case row_number. You should try something like the following:

SELECT x.*
FROM (SELECT Item, Price, [Date], ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Item ORDER BY [Date] DESC) AS rn) x
WHERE x.rn = 1
