For the Advertiser,


Ain. EplToR AS some Of our dealers in Flour
seem to be very much alarmed about the scarcity OF
Jrcadstulls-indccd so much 50 that they are re-
f,sing to sell what they have on hand, affirming
that when they sell what they have they know not
where any more is to be found-you will very much
obsc many of your readers, as well as for the pur-
pose Of dspelling the fears of some OF our citizens,
By publishing the following extract from Buffalo
paper. NO MoSorhf'
"Thclc is hardly any limit TO our surplus Of
Wheat and Curn and if the demand abroad should
carry off one hundred million bushels. phich is
almost four times as much as Toe haze exported in
one near, there would still BE- an abundant supply
for hnme consumption. Strange as it may seem,
that with large surplus On hand, fully equal to
supply the demand from abroad, prices should rule
so l!ish it is nevertheless in obedience TO the law
of trade which makes sudden impulse push the
market value beyond due limit, as well to anotl
cr law Of trade which makes a arrangement in the
ordinary channels of supply, produce for time, all
the consequences OF al actual scarcity"

.,,ER1c,NS NAVAL CAPABILITIES.

The Boston Courier, in the course of a reply to a
rather supercous article OF the London Standard,
thus glances al our marine strength:
With a-mercaulile marine having tonnage greater
than that of any nation on earth; with ship timber
iron, copper, cotton-duck, COAL and men, second to
none in the art of ship-buing with national debt
abundance of gold vas, surplus Of food, and 25oW
600 inhabitants, most of whom have palrnnzed the
schoolma< Ser that is abroad,!-the United States will
not withdraw her fir fiigaies and cotton bunting
from The ealms of Neptune in dshonor.
Qucs,icnless, the American people could in sir
months time bring together and man properly navy
of great power and efficiency Still, make assurance
doubly sure in view of the possibility Of collisioa
with European powers is certainly tho true policy
of our government TO 60 on building nen.ofwar On
the most approved plans and the must enlarged scsls
10 meet every possible emergency.
