PRICE OF HORSE-SHOE NAILS. 407 and it must have been of such temper as to insure its toughness and endurance. To judge by the price, the horse-shoe nail must have contained two-thirds more iron than the lath-nail, and about half as much as the broad nail. The price of these nails rises and falls evenly with that of horse-shoes. During the first ninety years, they are dearest in the years 13 11-20, and though the price declines slightly after this time, it does not revert to the cheap rates of t...he thirteenth century. After the plague, the rise is instant and permanent, the rate being doubled, and remaining high, the dearest time being, as before, the decade 137 1 — 1380. Evidence for the last ten years is wanting, but judging by the exactness with which the price of these articles follows that of horse-shoes, we might certainly affirm that if the latter stood at. From 8. ?. ^d. To 8. ?. The hundred, the former would be about 2. Y. 6d. The thousand. The general rise on the average of the last forty years is not, indeed, quite so large as that of horse- shoes, though it is upwards of 100 per cent.
