<b>674. CONFEDERATE SEC. OF WAR SETS FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR LABOR AND PRODUCE </b> A nice pair of war-date printed circulars of Confederate General Orders No. 99 and 145, totaling 5pp. 8vo., Richmond, from July and Nov. 1863 concerning a fair price schedule, as set by the Confederacy's secretary of war, for articles, such as: wheat, whiskey, pig iron, army shoes and the hiring of labor. Interestingly, these two documents show the rate of inflation in the South during 1863. Very light stains, else very good.<b>$75-100</b>
