| The war in the European country
has not affected business on the
North side to any great extent. Al
though the prices on some OF the I'M
ported merchandise is slightly adj
vanced tt, the merchant, it is not
enough to make any difference in the
retail price. J. C. Snediker of the
Austin Snediker store said. There
! is no advance in the staple articles,
except dyed goods. The manufactur-
ers of hosiery inform US that, the
prices will be advanced after the first
of the year. on account of the dyes
which are made in Germany.
| Drugs which took a sudden jump
when the war. started are declining
rapidly" said A. NJ. PCtrO. although
all drugs manufactured in Germany
are still high and some are getting to
| be scarce"
Millinery. especially dyed plumes
and feathers are advancing rapidly,
said Mrs. Bertha Wetherholt, other
lines have advanced some. not due to
the war SO much as the advantage
eastern manufacturers have taken TO
increase the price of stock on hand"

wall paper store said: imported oat-
meal paper has advanced some, but
