Ho makoa inquiries and finds that on nstuto Mr. Brown, who lives ouly, threo doora off, gets.various articlos of hiome consumption nt choapor rates than thoso ho has boon paying. DBrown's sugar, probably hoavily sanded, costs n cent & pound less- than his. Brown's coal has diminished Brown's ox- «chequor by 50 conts o ton loss than did that of the oxasporated housckeopor. Brown's boof, elbeit bony and by no mosns a primo out, costs him several cents o pound less ihan docs that which graces tho tablo of TIUE THOROUGHLY, INDIGNANT HOUSEKEEPER. , ‘Without pausing to cousidor that while he Aaa boon nn onsy-going, perbiaps carcloss, house- keoper, Brown has lout his brain to the study- ing gut of the problom of where to gob tho choapest of ovorything, hoat onco lays full ‘blame upon his shopkeepors, and bogina to try ore aud thoro, in the Lope of emulating whab hio considers Drown's good examplo, Then ho finds 6ut that, whilo some articles are dearor in somo. places thau othors, thore ave sldo to be found in thogo places atticles cheapor than else- whero, and, ns ho has not the ingonuity and por- soverance, ko Brown, to enablo him to hunt up Just whero tho various goods can bo obtained at tho mosat satisfactory pricos, and Lins on utter re- pugnance to muking a tour smong a number of shops and collecting an armful, or basketful, of cheap supplies, Lo i forced back to firat princl- plosaud 1uns tho old accounts on as usual with tho old sliopkeopers.

Thus it comes that there is not that sympathy in pricos between many wholesalo and retall busingsgos. A grocery commodity mny fall considerably in price in tho wholesale mar- kot, withont tho_rofallars' customors recoiving any advantego, Housekeepors should look after thoso matters and kesp the rotnilors up to timo with rogard to thom, always lotting tho shop- keopers watch the rises in smcn, whioh thoy are quito capable of doing. ‘Pho fact of the mattor ia that,ns o genoral rule, paoplo, with tho responsi- bility of & homo on their shoulders, are looking moro keenly at curront expenses, and in many conses holding earnest converse with their shop- koepere aneut prices in genoral, trying to por- susade the latter that, inssmuch as BALABILS ATE COMING DOWN, prices should come down too—a proposition ‘which the merconary mind of the latter fail to ap- gxocmte.
