FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT PRICES
= r ~ IL
I Commissioner of the Internal Revenue,
we find an interesting statement rela-
tive to the general advance in prices
since the outbreak of the rebellion.> 1t
appears from the figures upon this sub
icct that the prices of leading articles
of consumption are nearly ninety per
cent. higher ut the present time than
they were before the war. Thus the
advance in breadstuifs is about 20 per
. cent: pork and beef from 100 to leo;
butter over 100; rice 100; salt from 100
to 100: coffee from 80 to 40; teas from l4O
to $50: coal from 60 to 20. With regard
to domestic cotton goods. il is stated
that tbe nrices current in October of
last wear were an average of l72 per
cent. higher than they were in October,
lS60. For example. brown sheetinrs,
which were worth from 6 to 10 cents
per yard in 1860, were quoted at from
10 to "a three months ago. The advance
: in shirtings was from { to II cents a
