These figures are based upon invoice
prices, and the actual value OF the stocks
may very properly be put down a, $500,
900. This is, OF course, much smaller
stock than was in store one year since, and is
mainly caused by the financial pressure, ex-
ccpt in the item Of provisions, which is re-
duced by the home production.
The prices of provisions at The com.
mencement Of winter are little lower on an
average, than one year ago but groceries
remain at about the same figures.
We do not apprehend any materia
change during the winter in the price Of any
article Of food but we think that the sales
of dry goods, clothing, and articles of lux
ury. will find so little demand a, TO require
sacrifices to be made.
As near As We can ascertain the following
are the rates for the articles named
FLOUR AND MEAi.-The stock on hands
ia equal to the winter demand. The quota

very plenty has brought down the price to
eight and ten cents.
