Show Candles High in Paris. Candles have risen in price in France since the adoption of numerous numer-ous measures respecting the consumption consump-tion of gas, electricity and petroleum lor illuminating purposes. Retail gro--cers throughout Paris generally now charge seven to eight cents for tallow candles that previously sold for three or four cents each. Small solid candles can-dles five inches long, which formerly retailed at two cents each, now cost the consumer six or seven cents. |
