The Question or Food In Richmond.
Those who, in this country of plenty, are
wont ito complain Of the extravaganza of
living, perhaps will be comforted by the fol.
lowing extract from the Richmond Examiner
Of the 9Th instant: oa-Es. - z
The question Of food is becoming a serious
one. There is plenty in the country, but the
trouble is that the farmers will withhold
their supplies, though everything has been
done to excite their patriotism, many of the
commission merchants in this city have offer
ed to sell -four and meal consigned to them
without charge of commission. Yet this has
failed to open the doors Of their granarics,
and the consequence, is, that though the
wheat crop Of last summer was . splendid
one, there is rot q barrel of -four to bSs had
in the city at any price The market is well
nigh bare Of corn meal and corn, both of
which readily command $13 bushel. Other
necessarlcs Of life are scarce and command
high prices. Sugar, common brown, So to
