(CONFEDERATE RATE OF INFLATION)
<b>687. CONFEDERATE RATE OF INFLATION </b>A nice pair of war-date printed circulars of Confederate General Orders No. 115 and 129 totaling 10pp. 8vo., Richmond, August and Oct. 1863 concerning a fair price schedule, as set by the Confederacy's secretary of war, for articles such as mules, whiskey, pig iron, army woolen cloth and the hiring of labor. Interestingly, both documents show a steady rate of inflation in the Confederacy during 1863. Very light stains, else very good.<b> $100-150</b>
