Is it not the first law OF economies

causes work together, that we have
heard of instances in which bakers in
populous ne;g hborhoOds have brought
their underselling rivals stocks and
sold them at their own prices without
their customers either knowing or re.
senting the tax so directly levied. The
force of habit, which even arrests do wn-

articles less needed and less accurately y

OF course, in the end, il wholesale

and the new price establishes itself
in which case woe to the retailers when
wholesale prices rise. They have to
endure storm of inquiries, objurga.
tions, and epithets which must take
the sweetness of their previous gains
quite out of them, and very often are
compelled to yield and compensate
themselves by unsuspected reductions
in quality. Az rule. however, the de-
mand that a customary aud low price
should be lower still comes with sur.
prising slowness, and the distributors,
when their wholesale mar ket has given
way, enjoy unexpected profits con-
tinuously for months. The public will
not, in this instance, grudge the shop
keepers their gains, for they had
previously been suffering greatly from
