of the most important articles of daily food have more than doubled in price since the outbreak of the war, seven months ago. Flour now costs eight cents pound, and dried peas eleven cents, compared with four cents last July. Split peas cost fifteen cents. Lard costs forty cents pound, which is exactly double the price when the war began. Eggs now sell at three and four cents each, in stead of two cents. Beef costs any, where from twenty-six to thirty cents a pound, according to the cut, and pork from twenty-four to forty cents. Horse flesh the consumption of which is now steadily increasing, cannot be bought for less than ten to sixteen cents a pound, as compared With eight cents last summer. Sugar has risen very little, costing now eight or nine cents pound, scarcely half d cent more than before the war.
 Bread, however, has gone up con- siderably and costs now from four to six cents a pound. The quality is miserable, as it contains only fifty per cent. of four the remaider being a mixture of corn, barley and potato meals.
 Petroleum is quoted at eighty cents six cents last July; and soft coal has risen in the past week to $10 a ton. Both these, and especially coal, are often difficult to obtain at any prices, owing to the lack of transportation.
