ton Herald discussed the recent
break in the prices of some articles
He says in part:
THE climax in the rise of prices
seems TO have been reached. This
has been indicated by the break in
the market which has occurred in

hood the world, in so far as the high
cost of living is concerned, is due
TO slide back TO normal. OF course
the movement back TO pre-war con-

fined sugar had been increased 10
