Since hostilities have ceased, it is interesting to note whatchanges prices and wages underwent at the close of the Civil following chart, based on tables in Gold, Prices, and wages un-der the Greenback Standard, shows the salient facts for the periodof the war and seven years after its close. In brief: Wholesale prices broke violently as soon as it appeared that the warwas approaching its end. They re-acted sharply from the lowpoint of July, 1865, and then sagged slowly downwards for half-a-dozen years. Retail prices are shown only once a year, and therefore we can tracetheir course only in general terms. The striking fact is thatthey seem not to have fallen immediately after the war, but by1867 they entered on a decline corresponding to that of whole-sale prices. Wages had lagged behind retail prices
