It is plain, that the fii st. efforts of every trade
are loudly called on by self preservation, to lower
the lo ice of flour; and there are no other means
than by the'diminution of consumption, without
waiting for .the example of Others.. if we wait
for that exam high .prices will continue,
and probably risehigher.; hitt if we, begin, with-
snit caring whether collets do so or not, we
see the markets fall ; and if thennarkets tall, we
have it proof, 'that others besides ourselves have
joined in the generous undertaking..
We have Award several express thejr most ear-
nest desire to do so, especially the Fair, who in

and who bare already done so notch, both by stilt-
se'riptions and. recommendations to sitbseripticittS
every; lendable naturc. They say, " If others
witold clothe Would we; but they will not
make it general." W- reply, that is more than they:
know ; let,os try, and the full of the Markets will
;nerve ,who ;is right. But let us colisider, that
