papers from Mrs. James d. Waters. One
is a copy of the Baltimore Sun dated
Saturday, June 3Oth, 1855, and the other
the Charleston Standard dated Monday,
June 18th, 1855. The former bears very
little resemblance to the present issue OF
the Sun with the exception of the fact
that the head line on the first page is
identical. 1t then sold for one cent and
contained four pages. In looking over
the market reports wheat was quoted at
So % per bushel and corn $1.03; oats
were bringing so cents and "the market
for whiskey, dull and unsettled at 81:
cents to 80 per gallon" A number OF
advertisements appear offering rewards
