IL is known believe To oil who have reflection. or
paid the least attention TO the subject that the mers
of the upper countrJ have for long PERIOD Iaboured
under considerable disadvantages i'm consequence of
tho enormous difference Existing between the price of
their four and thnt manufactured in this city, which
is generally thirty seven and half and sometimes
fifty cents per barrel. This state of things
has OF late years become serious han formerly
and has assumed on aspect threatening ! may say
total destruction Of the Country manufacture of -four
and consequently monopoly of he city mers must
be the inevitable consequence This TO be would
not be materially oppressive to the farmers. for the

This difference of thirty seven and half. TO fifty
cents per barrel, exists al the same time that the
country miller compelled be governed in purchn-

by bringing it to the city. WHY does this difference
exist? (you will reasonably ask') That the city mill

of letter from Rio de Janeiro, dated the
i2th October. 133O-sTh" Gullero brand still has
decided preference; not that il is better than other
Richmond brands, but as it has been found for seme
years 10 be more uniformly good than other, the
demand for the coas,ing trade calls for that only;
and long the manufacturer pays the same partic-
ular attention to that he sells for this market he will
find support in the preference given TO his brand:

require This mhrk"' has now become of importance
to the millers ofthc United Sta'cs. and we feel n
duty to observe, that although it requires long
