“New York Oct 29th 1828
Esteemed Friend
Your last parcell of Flour 187 Bbls arrived on Saturday and on Monday (27th) was sold as follows 50 Bbls A Holt 50 do to Stephen Holt and 82 to Wood & Birdsall all at 7 dolls payable 1st [mnth] 5 Bbls [Branded?] Bad not yet sold. We consider this a fair sale at the time it was made but in consequence of recent European News and a report here that transportation will cease on the Canal after the 15th November whatever may be the state of the weather, there has been a considerable speculation with some advance in prices sales were made today at 7 ¼ and for some [marked?] extra by the inspector 7 ½ We believe these are the highest sales that can be quoted many are of opinion that there will be still a farther advance
With esteem
Edward G. Faille & Co.”
