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.

A bit of self-promotion, if you are around in Prague on Thursday #econhist

I don't see why it has to be either/or. If they want to maximize their reach, they should be on as many networks as they see fit.

Ah, yes, I've read my English-Hungarian dictionary many times. And with every reading, I find a new twist to the plot!

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

Thanks. Looks like waiting worked! My handle is valid. I feel validated... ;-)

"Invalid Handle"? What does that mean? I'm quite happy to fix it, if only I could figure out how.
