appeartains, and to whom of course we
mean to leave the business; but as a spi-
rt of speculation, founded only on sup
positions, has frequently proved ruinous
to those who indulge deeply therein, and,
through them, highly injurious to the
public, we may be allowed to make a
single observation on the price of -four,
which seems to occupy much attention.
The sudden rise in this article, is, we
think, not entirely dependent upon any
information from Europe, but 10 some
measure referable to the state of crops
ia our own country; and we learn from
the interior, that important failures in
the anticipated products Of large fields,
have been sustained; and this has been
SO general as to warrant a beliefthat the
article of flour, and consequently 9th
er grain, must maintain a much higher
price than they bore a few months since.
We have yet 10 accounts from Eng
land that render il certain that wheat will
there attain a price to warrant great
shipments from this country. For the
averages and duties upon wheat and
-four in England. we refer to our pa
pers of Monday last, il the article sign
ed "Hamilton.'
We should state that no kinds OF
ground grain, except wheat meal, or
-four, and oat meal, is admitted into
Great Britain from foreign ports.
Information from Canada, and the
lower British Provinces, lead to a belief
that the crops in those parts, have been
greatly injured by the late rains, and
wheat and -four have, consequently,
greatly improved in price; and in addi-
ton to what we have stated. with refer.
ence 10 the products of Pennsylvania
fields; and the state of the flour market
in this city, where, we understand, "a
bout two thousand barrels oil flour chan.
ged bands at 81, duringth the four last bu
siness DAYS. we find 10 the Baltimore
Patriot OF Friday, Howard street flour
quoted at 81. The Review of the Bal.
timore market, in the Gazette Of Satur-
day, leaves the price blank. The inspec-
tons for the week were about thirteen
thousand barrels.
One or two small cargoes of red wheat
brought in baltimore ST. 90; and the
wheat crop On the Eastern Shore, is sta.

the MARKET to the recent news from Eng.

Ftonr ia quoted in New York at st

shows that a regular advance has been
made in the article in that and the Lon
