A "real Havana" cigar may be bought at Zickendrath1s from 10 cents UDvard. according to quality. In Kobile we have not knovn less than 25 cents to be demanded.
A ride in a city railroad car costs 5 cents there, a dime here.
But the most absurd of all these comparisons is in the price of oysters, many of vhich are carried from the vicinity of Mobile to the Crescent City. There they may be had in the oyster saloons for M-0 cents a dozen rav, and 50 to 60 cents a dozen fired or steved.
Here at l-'obile the charge is 50 cents a dozen rav, 75 cents a dozen if cooked.
