A letter from a longtime tailor at a major incorporated firm describes how banks restricting loans push prices down temporarily. He explains that stock is moved to cash to cover deficits, then warns that as money markets reset, clothing costs will rise.

Rome Health Conditions Seen At High Mark In June
The City Sexton reports only three deaths in Rome during June. With about twenty thousand people in Rome and nearby areas, the death rate would be about thirty six per year for the population, a strikingly low figure. Vaccination has reduced typhoid, and the city enjoys good drainage, adequate sewerage, and strong medical facilities. Summer residences on surrounding hills offer cool, inviting spots, and despite malaria and past influenza, Rome remains healthier than many cities. The Rome Tribune-Herald notes health as a key concern and credits favorable conditions for making Rome a desirable place of residence.
