Flour

continues scarce, and commands enormous prices. We have heard of some few lots selling as high as $110. A mercantile firm on 12th street received a lot on Monday last, and was offered $100 per barrel for it by a baker, but refused to sell to him at any price, preferring to sell it to families at $80 per barrel, which they did in a very short time. If farmers could be induced to thresh out their grain the supply would soon equal the demand, but they will not do so.
