HOHOtCay'S Pills, the best Remedy IN
The Union for Female Complaints
These Pills are particularly recommended
TO the citizens of the Union for their eX-
raordnary efficacy in female complaints;
and they are alike valuable either TO the
daughter verging into womanhood, or the
mother at the turn of life. 1t has been
proved beyond all contradiction, that those
celebrated Pills will cure ali disorders 10
which females are peculiarly subject, and
enable them to pass their critical periods
Of life, without exposing themselves &c
those dangers they TOO often incur by 9th
er treatment.

The Price Of BreadstuBs.-A Lancas-
Ter paper has the following very sensible
remarks The opinion is entertained by
some of our farmers and dealers in bread
slufs, that the prices are going TO rule
higher, we think will be found erroneous.
The fact that they advanced greatly last
year after this time will not Justify the
presumption that it will be so this. That
rise was caused mostly by the short crops
of all kinds over the country, aided in
measure by the foreign demand caused by
The war, which the present prospect Of
peace will probably take away. But even
if the war should continue, il cannot Gre
ale demand that will tend 10 raise prices
materially. The European demand has
mostly been supplied by the large Purcha-
ses that were made in the fall, before nav
igation closed, on foreign account. 1t was
these purchases that kept up prices, and
induced the belief that breads,uffs would
continue TO rule extremely high, no,wi'h-
standing the great product of last year.-
Flour and breadstnhs OF all kinds have
materially declined within the last month,
and still continue TO fall, with little de-
mand, save for home consumption.
