WIRE AND IRON PRICES
ADVANCE OF 15 PER CENT.
It is authoritatively stated that some merchants advanced the price of wire and iron to-day by 15 per cent., making a total increase of 25 per cent, since the rate of exchange was first advanced.
It is pointed out that as the farmer will now have to pay 15 per cent, more for these two commodities which he very largely uses, the rake-off from the farmer's present-day gains has started seriously already.
