general atlvatce III wnges and prices which

wllole ndvahce III the cost Of publishing q
newspaper falls OH the propr1utors, who have
not felt ut liberty to tax back their losses on
the public. Some OF tho newspapers have
dropped their supplements to reduce ex-
penscs, and few hayo vcntutel to raise
their subscription prices. The ST. Louis
morning papers have advanced their rites
from four cents a copy ut retail to tlv0 cents,
atil by the week have increased their charges
five cents. papers in other cities are con-
tcn,p1ating h reduction lii tile slze Of their
