to II cents. The wholesale cost today
, is 10 1-2 cents. to which you must ado
the freight Practically everything in
my store is Is per cent higher no"
than it was a year ago. The plows that

hardware later on; but I do not see

wholesalers are not offering such re-
ductions. They say that they did not
90 up with tho price of steel, and even
if steel breaks some, they cannot come
down with it all at once. So far as VIC
arc concerned, we did not go up with
the market as VIC should have done;
but of course we will have TO come
down with it,

life as generally the most desirable.
