Prices soar in Schleswig and Germany reports say
A letter from Schleswig via a dealer in Atlantic cites soaring prices for bread, meat, and clothes. Wheat meal is 50 cents a pound, a suit costs 1765, a coat 12.50, shoes 31, and a 260 pound ox or horse fetches 250 to 2000. Rent and farm prices have more than tripled since the war, with rationing and severe shortages leaving families hungry.
