v (Special to the Guardian.)
"l`lllll’a) - While' peace- talk is tiyinglfi
back and forth over the wires both'
belllgerents are glrding themselves
for the greatest fighting yet. The tallk
from Berlin of war to the knife will
be met by' an Allied counterstroke
which will make even the unparalellod
efforts of the last .two and a half
years seem- feeble by comparison.
Gent-:al Halg's report reducing to
its simplest te-rms the battle of the
Somme, is a preparation of the pub-
lic mind for what is to come with
flghtable weathe'r. His statement that
halt’ the German army was engaged
from July to November with thor-
oughly demoralizing results to the
mlountaiii high back of the Somme W
lines. Goveinineiit and people ~ now b
trust Haig and will back him to the i
limit. His call for tho strengthening S
of the aeroplane arm has rcceived in
stan; response iii' ending governiment
hesitation about methods and hasten
ing the appointment of Lord Cowdre`_v
Fc-vcrish competition in iiivention
and contribution in this held have U
placed air supremacy first on one side
and tlien on thé other. For some
months it rested with the Entente but
its passing to tho Teutons was onr
ot’»the counts oi’ the indictment i
against the Asqulth administration. ii

After the Christmas and New Yeair'si There- has been quite u considerabli
~,Oharlotteiiowt1 at present. Never- p '
ti
theless the merchants report business E
exceptionally good for this time of th
years There is-.a aood demand for‘
all kinds of produce- at exceptionally
'high prices, with possibly easier ten-

local price.
Eggs are coming in in s.mall quanti- h
ties and are now quoted at 40 to 42. in
in the market the price 'is much high- d
and uiiy very great decrease in quan
tity would no doubt cause ii declinc‘ in
in price. t
Butter, is ve-ry plentiful at present cl
and the local demand' is very poor. b
Owing to the high price the consiiinp- m
tion has dropped off greatly, so thc al
local dealers claim, and people are c
now using large quantities of syrups s
und niullasses as well as honey to si
take thc place of tho usual amount of o
butter. These may not be any cheap»
er iii the long run but the average t
consumer thinks they are and so long p
as he continues to think that wal will e
doubt continue to use them. The tl
poorer class of people in -the City tl
cannot afford' butter at this season s
of the year. and unless the export de- l
mund` keeps up the market will un- b
doubtedly ease off.
