Flour.
There is some feverishness about flour, and a stringency in the market, not warranted by the facts.--The crop of wheat this year is not only heavy, but excellent in quality; better, indeed, than it has been for many years. The supply would now be quite abundant, or at least liberal, but for the long drought which has prevailed in a large portion of the State, and which has reduced the streams to so low a degree that there has been no water power to grind the wheat. The mills have been stopped in almost every section trading with this city — or so nearly suspended that they have been only able to meet the neighborhood demands upon them. It may be conjectured that the recent copious rains will give the mills a supply of water sufficient to grind the wheat rapidly; and the stock of flour, should the transportation be afforded, will soon be very much increased.
