Change In The Prices Of Cincinnati Newspapers

In consequence of the increased expense in the publication and distribution of their issue – an advance in the price of paper, and the impending tax upon paper, ink, and gas, and other articles of necessity, and a charge of fifty cents per thousand by express companies for their distribution upon the lines of railway – the proprietors of the Enquirer, the Gazette and the Examiner, at Cincinnati, have determined to advance the prices of their respective journal[s], and after the present date, one cent per week to each daily subscriber.
