C. Minn-In a talk with a Dally News repre sentatlvc at the week-end. Local merchants are sometime told that their prices are high, so Mr. Minns went to a good deal of pains to compare and his comparisons were on the whole favorable to Prince Rupert. Occasionally a store would offer a low-priced lead for the purpose or attracting customers, in a few cases these being ridiculously low. much lower! than wholesale manufacturer' prices, but these, did not arrecr trio general level. They were stmp, for the purpose of attracting buyers. Mr. Minns bought considerable new stock for Wallace' some of which Is already here and the remainder of which will arrive from time to time.
