Por tho Advertiser. Mr. EDITOR :-At*be present time, whilo eo much is being said and written upon the subject of the high and extravagant prices realized by i farmers and planters for their productions, it would be well te sift the matter so as to enable us to judge correctly before condemning any class. . * lu the first place, take fleur at S2C0 fer barrel, and salt in exchange at JO eta. per lb, One bar rel of flour will purchase eight bushels ef coast salt; formerly at $10 per barrel it would have purchased from six te seven sack;, or eighteen to tweuty bushels of Livtrpool suit. Next tako oom at fifteen dollars per bushel, and oecaburgs at three dol?ais per yard. One bushel of cora will purchase five yards,formerly it would have purchased eight yvds. Should rou wish to make your own cloth, you will have :o give at least $45 for a pair of cards (perhaps nferior at that.) To sell ba?on ?t throe dollars ?er lb. to purchase curds you will have to sell lftcoa lbs. of bacon to parchase one pair; former y you could have got a pair of best Ko. 10 cot on cards for about four or five lbs ef bacon. Fowls are considered high at from rix to eight lollara a pair, with which you caa purchase a >v,und.sugar ; formerly yon eould have, got from wo to throe pounds with the money for which rou would sell if pair. Fodder $20 per 100 pound; and caliea $6 per 1er yard; 2* yard? of calico for 100 lbs of fod ler,-formerly it would have purchased eight 'ards of calico. The farmer must bar? iron.
