Calentia, and it may be eald India generally, is much better off as rogarde the level of food prices than the belligerent coun- tries and considerably better off than many if not most neutral countries. The articles in Oal- outts which have risen most are sugar, salt, cheese, overland flour, and dhal. In Berlin and Vienna split peas, lentils, haricot beans, rice, lard, bacon, egge and pork; also in Vienna osions and beef, and in Denmark ryebread, beef, ogge (frezh), pork, wheat flour and margarine.

bnt sicce the stoppage of supplies Ural Caspians from that country, Great Britain has been able to capture the mer- ket, although prices are bigber than those of Germany, gaalight paper and self toning paper have aleo gone apio price. Plates are not to be had as cheaply as before, but are readily obtainable from British sources. The price of filma, however, has not been much affected, as this article comes chiefly from America via England. The scarcity in chemicals at one time threatened to beaseriousmat- ter owing to the cassation of Ger- msn supplies. But British firms were able to make up the deficiency and the only complaiut of photo- graphic dealera at present is the delay in the receipt of shipmente. Orders placed for pyrogallic acid, sodium carbonate, sud potassium local permanganate by some firma took as many as six months to execute. Other chemicala. directly obtained from England are citric acid, ammonia, gold bromide, ohloride, potassium endium by posulphite, etc.
