within the past two or three years, and from all
appearances II seems that there is no prospect of
a dminution The hotel keepers, acting upon
the state Of their books, have held a meeting and
agreed to raise their prices from 50 90 10 So a

increase In the market value Of rents meat
vegetables groceries and labor.
We must expect that the advance will be
general II will not be confined to hotels, but
win spread through every class Of society, and
every sphtre Of labor. Every person who con-

affected by the advance in the value Of articles
Of consumption, and will be required to increase
his annual income, or deprive himself of some
necessries or Injuries. Thus the tailors, shoe
makers, bricklayers, printers, hatmakcrs, black
