About the 18th of December, says the
Tribune, the markets for products proba-
bly, touched the lowest level ofprices ever
reached in this country since records of
prices began. The range of prices was a
little lower at that time than it was earlier
in the month. and since Saturday, Deem
Der Is. there has been an advance of more
than cents in wheat. 3 cents in oats. and
some advance in corn, eggs, hay. potatoes.
beef, poultry. pork and cotton-all pro-
ducts of considerable relative importance.
The detailed comparison of prices each
week, with computation of the relative
Importance of the articles compared shows
that there has been recovery amounting
to about per cent of the general cost of
all products. Thus far, therefore, Deem
Der ID, 1884, must be regarded as the
period of lowest prices yet reached in this
country.
