BLACK MARKET THRIVES AGAIN IN ROME
LONDON, Jan. 6. The black market is once again fiourishing in Rome after the Government's suspension of the campaign against street sellers of spaghetti, sugar, oil, and other rationed foods, says the Daily Telegraph's correspondent. Prices dropped and middle class housewives besieged stalls to replenish their larders, which during the 10-day suppression of the black market had become exhausted. Large quantities cf food confiscated during the ban are being sold in parcels at 67s each to civil servants. Some recipients are already reselling part of thd contents at handsome profit. The food is thus finding it way to the black market whence it came.
