PRICES AND COST OF CUTTING. 



The prices of stone and the cost of cutting vary with the price of 

 labor and the conditions of the market, hence exact figures can not be 

 given. Those given below are quoted from reliable sources, and will 

 doubtless be found as near correct as possible in a work of this kind. 

 The prices are for the rough stone and at the quarry, ordinary size.
