Our readers are well aware of j This is from the most reliable au the fact that there have been ad-j thorny and means much touhecon vances in the price of nearly all sumin populace of our country, but there is another class which it hits as hard or harder than the con sumer, that is the retail merchants. Their trouble lies in being able to i advance prices to keep step with classes of merchandise of which they are buyers and customers, but it will no doubt be a matter of in terest and concern to the ri to know that the end is not in sight. It is highly probable that the pre sent prices will look very cheap in comparison to what they will have to pay in the near future. The ad vances heretofore have been grad ual and steady, but during the past month, taking the leading trade: journals for authority, manufactu rers and wholesaler's prices have advanced with alarming rapidity, which means that retailers will be compelled to follow suit. This is not confined to any particular line as all seem to be in the ascending scale, but it does apply more strongly to dry goods than any other line. - During the past month prints have advanced a cent a yard or about 20 per cent, unbleached domestics about the same, while bleached domestics have out strip ped them with an advance of two or three cents a yard or 25 to 30 per cent. The Dry Goods Economist, which is the leading authority on the drv goods trade, makes the statement that the conditions are phenomenal in connection with almost every line of dry goods; that many lines of cotton goods are sold up to the middle of 1908; that woolen and worsted dress goods in the most desirable patterns are difficult to obtain; that silks, which have heretofore .en p essed, are faliinr the wholesalers and satisfy their customers that they are not being robbed. Already we hear the com plaints of leading merchants thst their profits are beingtiut; that they can't get the advances that they are obliged to pay until the public have come to realize that tkere is no way out of it. So the whole matter re solves itself into this: that the con sumer will either have to pay much more for their merhcaudiset than heretofore or the merchant will have to sacrafice his profit. A leading merchant here said a few days since that he- soM -as many good in 1906 as he did in 1905, still he didn't make more than half as much money and that with the present tendency he didn't expect to make more than half as much in 1)07 as he did in 1906. and doubted very much if he more than cleared expenses, even though the sales might run as high as ir the preceeding years. This article is not written in the interest of the merchants, but in justice to them, that ihe public ma be informed as to the tendency o these things and not be inclined t censure the retail merchant wh deplores and dreads N the advance, more than any other class. oiher here classes of ary is a scarcity .: de- ;yith that jtton Go Drur4 sun an(i gei a .v.. the i-' Re iiimbrick & Austin at R-jxboro, N : bottle ofUVASOl wn id ue v and Livt Everything In Hardware &e ythinsr in uMde 'Materia Loiic if i i Co.
