Consul Urban . Ledoux Of Prague,
records tho upward trond in tho prices
OF Austrian productions as follows:
s5 The manufacturers Of celuloid wares Of
Austria Hungary have raised their prices
by 10 per cent, giving as "a reason the
extraordinary rlsot Of cnmphor In Japan
Tho shoe manufacturers Of Prague
have metkthe demands of the workmen
respecting tho shortening Of working
hours and Increased pay, In consequence
&of which ana also owing; to the higher
cost OF nll raw ma torials, t has been
decided to increase the prices Of shoes
and shoe wares by 20 per cent. & This
should materially help the sale of / merl-
can shoes, which have gained consider
