Soan Prices Advanced.

The wholesale price of eastern sOap
was advanced yesterday a few points,
10 $40 a case of 100 bars. A year ago
the price was $2.65. The reason given
to dealers Of the rise is that the cattle
slaughtered are poorer in tallOw than
they were some months ago. on &C
count Of the shortage Of the corn sup
ply, and, consequently, tallOw costs
more. 1t is believed that in sympathy

1t is not probable that the retail price
will be affected, although dealers are
wondering how long they can sell at
cents a bar without losing money. As
II is now the margin is very close.
