remain for the months of May and June, unless in the interval it should be deemed necessary to modify them. The following prices are to be the maximum rates to be paid for the articles impressed in all cities and the usual places of sale, and when impressed on farms or elsewhere the same prices are to be paid. Under existing circumstances we deem it not only just, but most likely to favor increased production, that producers in future should not be required to transport their surplus productions when impressed, but that the agents of the Government should employ or impress the neighborhood or county wagons and teams to gaul all such articles, and so divide the work between the owners of wagons and teams as to bes least prejudicial to those successfully engaged in

agriculture.
