t. We propose to look into this subject a little. The Mobile Register, a most reliable paper, gives a statement of the speculation in flour further South than Richmond, which shows how the extortion in that article is worked: There is now included within the Confederate lines a population of about 4,700,000 whites and 2,750,000 blacks, or a total of 7,450,000 inhabitants. This includes — not to estimate too closely, and giving and taking fractions in different places — the States of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas, two thirds of Virginia, and half of Louisiana, (in population,) and half of Tennessee. The total population of those entire States in 1860 was 7,274,000, which figures come so near the estimate above that, for the purposes for which we propose to use them, the statistics of 1860 may be adopted without reduction. In 1860 these States produced 17,791,761 bushels of wheat, which — allowing 30 pounds of flour <

hey had not then the means to control an article of such vital importance. But week by week, as their gains increased, they were able to embrace additional branches of business, and as soon as they felt themselves able they laid hold of the life-food of the people, and the stock which they now have on hand has been purchased with the exorbitant profits wrung by them from the necessaries of the country. There is there must be, not less than 900,000 barrels of flour in that part of the Confederate States not occupied by the enemy, and the greater proportion of it is held by speculators, at prices varying from $80 to $100 a barrel according to the distance from the place of production the isolation of the points where it is held, and the amount of pretences they are able to accumulate for their extortion. How many millions of dollars it represents it is impossible to estimate, but it is safe to say that every dollar of it has been accumulated within a twelvemonth past. It is usele

n. Nobody believes that it costs $65, or even a considerable proportion of that amount, to bring a barrel of flour from its place of production to Mobile. Besides, when the impediments to transportation have been temporarily removed thre has been no corresponding relaxation of price; its progress has been up ward, still upward, constantly betraying, by unmistakable, signs, the hand of the engrosser. It is useless to pretend that the advance in price is owing to the higher price of wheat.--Wheat, a year ago worth $2 a bushel in Mobile; no producer now asks a price which with transportation added would be equivalent to $.--Nor need they allege the actual advance in the price of wheat, whatever that may be; for they know, and everybody knows, that the advance is due to two causes: First, the exorbitant prices which this same speculating course in everything — not flour alone — compels he producer to charge, in order that he may purchase what he actually needs; second, and chiefly, his

The army ration is 20 ounces, and that was fixed on the basis of Northern flour, whereas it has been proved by comparative trials that Southern flour makes one-third more bread, (even a higher proportion has been claimed for it,) so that 15 ounces would be a fair equivalent for the old army rations.
