Yesterday a decree was promulgated, ordering all persons having flour on sale to give it up to the Government at the current price.

It will, I presume, be distributed to the bakers, like the meat to the butchers.

As regards meat, the supply does not equal the demand--many persons are unable to obtain tickets, and consequently have to go without it.

Restaurants cannot get enough for their customers.

This evening, for instance, at seven o'clock, on going into a restaurant, I found almost everything already eaten up.
