WAR PRICES DOWN SOTTTH l Quinine $1,700 an Ounce?Flour $300 a Barrel?Fish $5 a Pound. In 1865 an ounce of quinine could not be purchased for less than $1,700 in the South. Provisions were simply enormous in price. Here are just a few instances: In February a ham weighing 50 pounds sold for exactly $750, or at the rate of $5 a pound. Flour was at $300 a barrel. Fresh fish retailed all over at $5 a pound, and ordinary meal was at $50 a bushel. Those who lived in boarding houses paid from $200 to $300 a month. White beans retailed at $75 a bushel. Tea went for anything from $20 a pound to $60, and coffee in a like ratio. The most ordinary brown sugar was sold for $10 a pound.

These figures are taken from various sources and have the virtue of accuracy, if nothing else. Always was present the fear of famine and time and time again did the soldiers donate a.portion of their rations, taken from their apportionment in the field, to I i relieve the pressing necessities. ? The shrinkage of the currency was, p of course, responsible and some idea may be gathered from a story that c went the rounds at the time. A sol- li die^ galloped along a country road o and a farmer leaning over a fence a admired the animal. He called to the trooper offering to buy the horse: p "Give you $30,000 for him, Johnny," he 9aid. b , "Not much, old man.
