Rise of Prices in Italy.
The prices of every thing are now at Bologna from lo chapter
to 15 per cent, dearer than ten years ago ; here attributed
to the increased plenty of money, from a rise of the price
of the products of the country, hemp and silk selling
much higher. Twenty years ago hemp was at 30 pauls,
now at 50; and in Tuscany the prices of every tiling
have doubled since the free corn trade.
