The police headquarters has issued in structions to all the Stations in the city and the suburbs to make minute inquiries as to the relations between wholesale merchant, and retailers, and polly the difference between wholesale and entail prices The authorities, consider it very strange that While prios an' the wholesale market have ahown remarkable decline during recent months, retail prices show no signs of fall ing.

We may look forward with some confid- sbee to a better time after 1990," says Mr. T. C. Bridges. These words' ware attered by one of our great weather ex- perts, Mr. Douglas Archibald, in Septem ber, 1909. Mr. Archibald went on to explain that our weather runs in cycles of 35 years, cycles called after Profesor Brackner, of Vienna, who announced this discovery in the year 1890. The perfod, as a whole, is long, slow sos-saw, half of which is drier and warmer than the j average, the other half wetter and colder. The last dry and warm hall-cycle was fron $1888 to 1902. Those of us who are old enough will remember the gorgeous' aum-, mors wa experienced in the last 'Binetiem, and contrast them sadly with the villainom years experienced "sizes" the latter date. Ever since 1903 the summers have, with s Few glorions exceptions, been damp and chill, but now we're right"a5' the end of the wet cycle this in its last year, and we can confidently look forward to the plane. ant prospect of 17 or 18 five years. The sequence, of course, is not perfect. A good year like that of 1919 may drop in among the bad odor, or a cold year like 1281.pome among the warm soen; but for all that the Brackner eyele is no figment of the air covered imagination, but a hard-and-fast fact, almost the only one we have to cling to in all our weather lore During the last dry period, 1888-1902, England suffer. ed a deficiency of 20in. of rain, which in about equivalent to 'n year's fall; during the past 8 years they deficiency has jurk about been made upayaan da
