SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

[The management of _The Times_, of which the price was raised on Monday

to twopence, is anxious, in view of the paper famine, to restore the

old custom by which this journal was subscribed for jointly or loaned,

whether gratuitously or by newsagents at one penny a perusal. Having

"determined to restrict the sale and encourage the circulation of each

copy in several houses daily, the managers will not hesitate, as a last

resort, to increase the selling price to sevenpence per copy."]

_From_ "_The Evening Uproar_."
