A sudden rise in the price Of -four has taken place
The reason is, the unexpected closing OF the Erie
Canal II is estimated that bread stufs and other
provisions 10 the amount of million of dollars in
ue, large portion Of which destined for our
winter supply, have been caught between Utica and
Albany by the early rosts, and will he detained there
until the canal opens again IN April.
We have railroad running parallel with the canal,
which might luke charge of this vast amount o mer
chandise and bring it Immediately TO New York
But the railroad is not allowed TO carry freight even IN
the months when the canal is closed, lest 1t should IN
,erere with that great monopoly. To support that
monopoly, an embargo of four long months, is annu
ally laid between the Eastern and Western parts OF the
State-persons may pass freely on our railroads. but
property cannot, and the commercial intercourse be-
tween the two regions is as completely suspended as
If there was non intercourse law. The supplies from
the country stopped, dearness OF provisions en-
sues, trade undergoes suspension, and the WINTER
is made harder for the poor.
The rise in the price Of -four is about seventy hve
cents n barrel. If railway communicated win Inc
interior, huctuation like this, occasioned not BY the
want Of an abundant supply, but by the difficulty Of
getting TO market, could not occur The increase IN
price during the winter will be followed by corres-
pendent depression as The warm weather shail
have repealed the non.intcrccurse. The mischief IS,
therefore, only felt by the consumer, but by the
producer the only benefited by are the Hour
merchants in New York, who happen 10 have stock
on hand the large agricuurst and consuming classes
are the victims.
Some there are, who contend that railways cannot
seously carry freight. If this be So The Erie
Canal would not suffer by allowing the railroad
through the same region 10 transport merchandise
! T. is not true, however, and the sudden rise on the
price of flour proves it, very small portion Of that
increase would pay literally for bringing the flour TO
market on the railroad.-N Y. Ertning Post
