Next time you are inclined to helieve that high prices have been sent by the pow- ‘ers above to vex this day and genera- tion alone, just ponder upon these words written by John F. Watson of New York city in 1843, under the head- .ng “Changes of Prices,” in a book of his published in 1847: “It is curious to observe the changes which have occurred in the course of years. both in the supply of common urticles sold in the markets and In some cases in the great augmentation of prices—for instance, Mr. Brower, who has been quite a chronicle to me, has told me such facts as the follow- ing, viz.: “He remembered well when abund- ance of the largest Blue Point oysters could be bought, opened to your hand, for 2s a 100 such as would now bring from three to four dollars. Best sea bass were but 2d a pound, now at 8d. Sheephead sold at 9d to 1s 3d apiece, and will now bring $2. Rock fish were plenty at one shilling apiece for good ones. Shad 3d apiece. They did not then practice the planting of oysters. Lobsters were not then brought to market, ! “Mr. Jacob Tabelee, who is as old as 87, and of course saw earlier times than the other, has told me a sheep- head used to be sold at 6d, and the best oysters at 1s a 100. In fact they did not stop to count them, but gave them in that proportion and rate by the bushel. Rock fish at 3d a pound. Butter 8d to 9d. Beef by the quarter in winter 3d a pound, by the piece 4d. Fowls about 9d apiece. Wild fowls in great abundance. He has bought twenty pigeons in their season for one shilling; 2 goose was 2s. Oak wood was abundant at-2s the load. Thus Mr. Watson of the early nine- teenth century thinks longingly of-how essy it must have been to live when Brother Tabelee was young. He con- tinues: g “In 1763 the market price of provi- slons was established by law and pub- lished in the Gazette. Wondrous cheap they were, viz: A cock turkey 4s, a hen turkey 2s 6d, a duck 1s, a quail 134d, a heath hen 1s 3d, a teal 6d, wild goose 2s, a brant 1s 3d, snipe 14, oysters 2s a bushel, sheephead and gea bass three coppers per pound, milk per quart 4 coppers, clams 9d a 300, cheese 4%d. “Those celebrated ‘Blue Points’ were destroyed by an intended kind- ness. A law was passed to exempt them from continual use, and by not being continually fished up they got embedded in :he mud and wholly died ont I” THE .
