    Falnfoe Prices.
'pile Prices of many of thO leading ne
amaries of life are high, almost without pre
cedent. Coal is rellingpt from eight to nine
dollars per ton. Aret theTh in no good rea
ron,why this article,, considering the inex
haustible supply in the mines and tnavhe cheap
ness of • transportation to sea ig ation,
should not be sold in the principle cities on
the seabord as low as four or five dollars per
tun. At this price it ought to pay a latge
profit to all those engaged in the business
of mining and sending it to maitret. There,
is nothing in the quantity received from the
mines this year to justify so large an ad,
vance upon the last year's prices. From
the Maryland mines up to August 5, 103,-
000 tons more had been received i than had
reached t ide-water at the same , date last
year; by the Reading Railroad the increase
b o g beep 300,000 tons. hy the Se,huylkill
Canal 52,000 tons, making -a total/ increase
from these three principal sources of supply
of 400.4300 tons, or about 25 per iTrit, over
last year. High prices tend to diminish the
consumption, and the natural price for the
article during the remainder of the year.
cannot, in view of the largely increased sup
ply, be higher than that of last year. Coal
is sold in London the year round at from
three to four dollars a ton, and the cost of
conveying it there from the , mines is quite
as great as the cost of transportation from
our mines to New-York. The charge for
transportation over the Reading Railroad, .
about 00 miles in length and all the way on
a descending grade. is but little over a dol
lar a ton, while the actual cost in only about
40 cents a ton.
Flour is another article of general con
sumption which now bt ars an exorbitantly
arid unnaturally high price. The chief bus-
Mess of this country being agricultural, and
the quantity of fertile land under cultivation
almost boundless, and the price of the best
hind extremity low, with every facility for
the cheap and speedy transportation of prc
duce to market, it would seem that four or
five dollars per barrel for flour in the prin
cipal cities ought always to be a sufficient
and remunerating price. This year the
price has been carried up to a very unusual
rate by peculiar circumstances. The crops
in Europe last year' were very deficient,
and we have drained our own supplies to
supply their deficiency. We have exported
flour in such quantities that prices in Eu
rope have been reduced to a point which
would admit of its reshipment to this coun
try at a profit. The crops in Europe this
year both in, Great Britain and throughout
the Continent are generally represented to
be abundant, and the prospect now is that a
very small quantity of bread tuffs will be
wanted from this country except at very low
prices.
The wheat &op throughout this country
generally, is spoken.of as being above the
average, and in the course of a few weeks.
when it begins to come to market freely, the
prices of flour and wheat must undergo
material decline. With respect to the other
great agricultural staples, corn and potatoes,
the prospect of a decline is not so clear.—
The yield of the potato crop throughout New
England is said already to have been seri
ously
affected by the long- continued drought.
Throughout the West, the
. accounts from
different sections concur in stating that the
aggregate corn crop will be reduced by the
drought at least one-half below its ordinary
yield. In six of the principal Western
corn producing States, the aggregate quan
tity of corn produced annually. according
to the last census, was 316,000,000 bushels.
II one-half of this crop is cut oil thiS year,
the loss to the country in various ways can.
not be estimated at less than eighty millions I
of dollars. After making every allowance
for the tendency of farmers and the local
country presses to exaggerate the extent and
severity of such calamities, this estimate of
the probable loss from the failure or the
corn crop does not appear to ua very wido
of the mark. Such an unforseen and enor
mous deduction from their accustomed re
source., svricmtoly thy
ern people who depend upon the• sale of
produce for their incomes, and make a great
Aolo in their ordinary means of discharging
theis debts and paying for the large supplies
of merchandise which they buy from mer
chants at the East.—N. Y. rfeeklyTimes.
Trading and Overtrading.
Trading benefits alike the buyer and sel
ler properly conducted ; but overtrading on
both sides is injurious. Fur instance the
system of monopoly or controlling the trade
in a certain- article for the sole purpose of
making unfair exactions is apt to enhance
the price of others, andthus the monopolists
as well as the trade is ultimately injured.—
Another folly of. overtrading is adopted in
the credittsystem., He who avails himself
of this• erne* especially to - procure the
comforts and necessities•of life is overtrad
ing and pays daily more for-the same arti
cle than the millionaires-who buy in large
quantities and for cask. So, too, this sys
tem compels printers, publishers', merchants
and others to put a high cash price on their
articles than they, would do by emit pay
ments and thus the dealer in cash and cred,
it are both injured. Ip large operations
the credit system may sometimes be profi,
table to those who use. it. But for farmers,
merchants, pinker. laborers, etc., cash pay
moats will "tell" at the end-of the year, in,
lAO pockets at buyers and sellers. The mer
chants and%printers especially, must f.calcu
late for lost debts and theseallways enhance
the price of their • goods:. but "cash down"
would enable them to buy, and sell,their
floods cheaper, and thus all parties would
be better suited. This species of °verve&
ing • is a "crying eNil" In all cities, .and
should be abated. Pay your employers in
cash,and demand cash for your gpods, and
all Parties complain less of 'hard times.'
