Fhe usnii,ics, shipped westward, of this
,s.,able, and, in the estimation of many
families, indispensable article, are number
i by thousands OF barrels, and in view Of
The low price at winch apples rate IN the
IA States. and the large Quantities sent
I,hcr, the inquiry naturally aris's Why
bey should be SO high. The prices WHICH
nj here tend to convert what ia deemed
by many necessary article Of food into
lxury, and totally destroy the Yankee ira
itions sbou, "apple sauce" being the
heapcst thing that can be placed on the
able. We have no objection against those
whose enterprise has supplied US in this
,anealar, rcaping fair profit, aud our on
regret is that more had not engaged in
he same business, SO that brlsker com.
