Medium and low priced hv— ing room furniture would increase from 10 to 15 per cent, and furn- iture in the higher grades about 8| |per cent.”' There would be little or| no advance on rugs of better quali- ties: { “Nails by the keg would be 25 cents highel, but by the pound there would be no increase, as the increased freight is a quarter cent per pound. Guns, ammunition and | | tools Would cost the merchant about | |1 per cent more deliveréd here, so| probably there would be an in- | crease of this amolint in guns, but! |hone in ammunition or todls. | | “One grocery voucher was check- ed.
