Local factories have advanced the
price of farm implements and 10
per cent. and in some cases more
than this, in their price schedules
covering the new season. This, how
ever, does not cover the total adj
vance owing to the advanced cost of
of iron and steel and hardwood lum-
Der. All of these materials have very
rapidly risen in price for the last six
months and in consequence the
manufacturers were compelled to get
more for their product. AS it is the
makers share with the consumers a
larger burden of the advance than
the added selling price represents.
1t is not likely that any greater rise
will become effective unless there
is greater increase in stock
