THE COST OF LIVING
WHY GOODS ARE DEAE HERE. Sir,-A shipment of household linens invoiced September, 1915, landed at the following prices:— 10s. 6d., 12s. 9d., Iss. 7d„ 2bs. Precisely the same linens are invoiced to us in June, 1919. Landed prices are:— ' 435., 495., 625., 110s. A shipment of woollen goods in vember, 1915, is invoiced at 355. Ilie same goods invoiced May, 1919, at 6Ss. This may be of interest to some of your readers. Worse still, British manufacturers hold out small hope of any reduction for another year or two. The only possible hope for better prices lies in- everyone interested in industry bucking into work their very, kardest; less money must be spent on luxury and amusement; produce more and spend less; "go slow" policy won't mend matters; "stop work" will only make things worse and worse for the wage-earner.—l am, etc., P- ' July 26.
