From Buffalo to this city we were 4s hon,,
distance $50 miles, not quite miles per bon,
What contrast between coaches and steamers
The usual summer time is Is hours. Half VIZ,
is the borough or town of Erie, smart place
with hotel as large as the Astor House, ca,ro3
from It's founder the Reed House. The Mess,
Reeds, father and son, are very wealthy, and
what is very unusual, are very enterprisine the,
are largely instructed in steamers and otbe,c,,a
upon the lakes. There are many pleasant VII
lagos on this route, and all give indications .,
gradual increase There are many New orken

who are collecting debts and produce. Tbss.s,
seems to be great mania for the products Of ,bs
soil this winter. The prices arc too high to lesrs
them any hopes Of profit-as a sample, Wbe,.
here IS 81 cents Flour S. common brands
Mess Pork So bbl. Lard 81 Tallow a 6lc
Corn Al cents; and these prices correspond VIII
those in the interior, and in Michigan, Ind;,,a
and Illinois. The cause for these prices is The
low price of money with us, and the desir. NJ
our Country Banks 10 get a wider circulation

rangements, and others giving a high price, thew
of course can afford it. The Lard Oil Manufacs
turcrs keep up the price of Lard, and thew have
a short supply. What good illustration of
Support Your Own is this new branch of
Home Manufacture The farmers are enabled
to get as much for their Lard almost at the;,
doors as they could in Ncw.York. The Cloth
Dresser and Machinist instead of imsorting their
Oil from Spain or the Pacific, gets much 81.
