The following is from a WEEKLY ♦
market letter that we. :
♦
receive: ♦
♦
“With a 7 billion dollar war tax to bo raised, prac- ♦
tieally all manufa<*turers have withdrawn from the mar- ♦
1<ot. or are accepting business subject to price and condi- ♦
tions at time of shipment, as foodstuffs will have to stand ♦
their share of the war burden, and until this tax is adjust- ♦
ed all business must be on a “hand to mouth” basis. In ♦
addition, there has been a general advance on all steam- ♦
ship rates, and it is now practically assured that the ♦
railroads will be granted their request for a lb per cent 4
advance, all of which must be added to the cost of the ♦
goods.” T
They surely are putting the prices up over the moon. ♦
Where the end will ho. we feel too timid to make even a ♦
guess, the pace is too swift. Prices are all that SHERMAN' j
once said about war. I
Don’t you think it would be well to anticipate your f
wants in the line of staples before prices advance any ▼
higher? f
