War Raises Prices

War raises prices OF many things. bac
II is indirectly responsible for tbs lower
ing OF the price Of one OF the most
staple articles OF domestic hso-Ffoor
Mattings-which arc made exclusively fn
China and Japan. When news Of tho
breaking out of war reached China and
Japan, the entire feet or American ships
in these waters set out almost simultas
neously for home ports. Rather than re-
turn enipty-handed, they took on tina
quickest carload possible, which naturally
were Mattings, being easily and quickly
loaded. When these carloads were land<
ed. there naturally arose great compete
ton among the importers TO sell theu
stocks. This glut in the market. tod
gethcr with its competition. caused n re-
duction I'm prices OF nearly 80 Is per cont,
and lucky was the rotai merohsRt who
was in the market with the cash, ready
to buy Mattings. To The Meyer Store,
corner Foushee and Broad streets, thera
came 1,l20 rolls, which are at present
stacked on tho third floor OF their build-
ing, and which were bought under sheso
circumstances. The comparison OF tho
prices OF these qualities with those I'm
their regular stock Is a most convincing
proof of the wars lowering prices. The
manager of the Mating Department said
he sold as many Mattlngs In three days
as had been sold the whole month OF June.
and he only wished that be could always
sell Mattngs at the prices he now quotes.

General Evans. in a recent circular
says:
1t Is proper to give the main reasons
for fixing on Exposition Park as the place
for holding the reunion. That place was
selected because il was necessity. no
other place in the city offered advan-
tsges approaching those which existed
of the park. The sixteen divisions, the
Conmissary Department, the hundreds
of Sons OF Veterans, and Daughters OF
the Confederacy all can be assembled
there in a space occupying less than htty
acres of land, and thus afford the plea
