A screenshot of a newspaper from 1854 citing the prices of various commodities, mainly cotton and cotton products.
I am in search of data on prices of cotton and cotton yarn in 1845-1851. Does anyone among the #econhist here know of a good source that would give me the same level of price detail as the attached screenshot of an illustrative price list from an 1854 issue of one Austrian newspaper?

After several days of nothing but tedious coursework marking, I finally found time again to work on research. It went about as well as is usual.

Flagwaving at Wenceslas Square, Prague during demos against Communism back in November 1989
Masaryk údajně Čapkovi pravil: "Nebudu se bát, až když tady demokracie vydrží padesát let." K dnešku 35 z těch 50 už máme za sebou, 15 nám ještě schází. Tak do toho, ať to fakt vydrží. #Czech #VelvetRevolution #Listopad #FallOfCommunism
