a!mol iiudiiiiini.-hed in price. The result is that
consiliums purchase very sparingly, causing an
unmnnl dulness in the trado. Hotter was selling
yesterday ut from 'i0 to "0 cents per pound; beef
i'rni ;o 10 :i.i cents; sweet potatoes from :lu to

ot lite are new so exorbitant mat workiugoien

were hi fore the war broke out, and cleaning and

of a 'show," but it is only among the richer
