Note 5 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
The great bulk of the flour we are now exporting to England is of inferior quality, worth about $3.50 when common superfine is $4.50. It is used extensively by the millers in England to mix with a superior quality of their own grinding of English wheat. By the way, the custom of taking a toll in kind, as a compensation for grinding at grist-mills, which our fathers brought from England, and which we retain, is now obsolete there. The millers make their charges in money, and are paid as in any other business.
