Increase in Price of
Foodstuffs.

tinued to shut down today because of
the shortage of fuel caused by the min
ers' strike. II was estimated that 900
workers in South Wales alone had been
thrown out of work.
Food prices continued to increase to-
day and there was much suffering
among the poor. Fishermen were un-
able to get enough coal to use on their
trawlers, and II was expected that tho
price OF fish would soon become almost
prohlbitive. Today hundreds of ponies
were brought up from the mines, some
of them getting their first glimpse of
daylight in. fifteen years.
Wholesale houses have been hard hit
by the strike. Many of them called in
all of their travelling statesmen because
the merchants refused to buy goods
pending a settlement of the strike.
. 1t was officially announced today
that $500 trains have been discon-
tinued by the several railway sys-
TENS in the United Kingdom. Every
freight train that could be spared was
discontinued and in addition every
local passenger train.
The trains still running have been
standardized SO that there are no

a standstill, as few of the roads have

Simultaneously with the cam

the West were contending
against each other. principally in
Tennessee and Mississippi. After
the withdrawal of the Confeder-
ates from Corinth, Grant advanc-
ed his army to Oxford, MissiS-
sippi, and sent General w. T.
Sherman by water from Memphis
to carry by assault the works on
Chickasaw Bluffs, which protect
ed Vicksburg. Sherman landed
and assaulted, and having lost
heavily, withdrew above the
mouth of the Yazoo river.
General Grants campaign
against Vicksburg was seriously
interrupted by the activity of the
Confederate cavalry under For
rest who raided western Ten!
nessee and cut the Mobile & Ohio
railroad.
General Pemberton, command
er of the Confederate troops in
the vicinity of Vicksburg, occu-
pied an entrenched position on
the high bluffs within distance
of II miles to the north and 50
miles to the south. After the
