Bakers and Baking.

ting rich by baking small bread. In yesterday 8
paper you say that flour is S4 81, and that barrel
makes 245 pounds, and 3-2 pounds for Id gives
the baker $3 profit This is not the case-l can
prove to your satisfaction that there is business
in the city that there is more competition in than
the baking. In the first place, every good house
wife completes with him, by buying flour and baking
for lOd, from most any baker.
Now, as to the price Of -four, ! deny that any
good flour can be bought for the price you name.
A baker, who pretends to use good article, will
have to buy such brands as Hiram Smith, Ackron,
Welman Rhodes j. .. Smith, Lockport Mills, and
number of other good brands, which cannot be
bought for less than So IA at wholesale-and If the
baker has to buy from second hands, say in Front
street, with the uncurrent money he gets from his
customers and to ask for some credit, he will have
pay from IS l-2 to SIS "a. If you take this into
consideration, and the loss attending this business
by stale bread-and sometimes the failure of his
yeast-yOu will find 1t the most contemplate busl-

per barrel, it is all nonsense. There is not baker

and has known most of the bakers in that time, and
for every you name who is able to pay his debts
let alone being rich, will name you two in the poor
house. Why, ask any well-informed baker who
are the New York bakers, and he will say most OF
them are foreigners, Scotch, Irish, Dutch, &c. &c.
And why? Because If a master baker has an appren-

hear a great deal said from Daniel Webster,
down to small potato politicians, about the disad
vantage of the commercial treaties now existing
between this country and the smaller powers OF
Northern Europe, and everybody appears to think
that we have decidedly the worst of the bargain.
MIR. Upshur's report in this mornings paper, harps
again this subject, and think it high time peo
pie understood little more of this matter. To be
sure those States, particularly Hamburg and Bre
men, care small, very small republics, and one
should suppose the advantage derived from treaty
with them to be trifiing indeed, but let 1t be re-
membered, that these two small towns form the
concentration of the commerce of thirty-ive mil
lions of people-double the number of the United
States-and that thus to object to their size is ridi
culous in the extreme. And, do people forget the
advantage American vessels have (and they use it,
too), in carrying freight from other parts OF the
world to these small places! Has the Secretary Of
State statement Of freight yearly carried to Ham
Bahia, Rio, Monteyideo--aye, the whole coast, of
South America? II he has not, can assure HIM
that the amount is by no means trfng, and that II
would be worth while to try to collect materalsfo for
such statement and 1t will be found that the
trainers of these treaties not quite ignorant
as people would make them Europe wants no
thing but FAIR PLAY.
