CORN-MARK, 



Having made my election or a miller, and 

 finding that he " quartered" at the Bear, I 

 went to his room (he was not in till near fix,) 

 and fhcwedhim my fample; namely* about two 

 handfulls, put in a piece of brown paper; 

 which, agreeable to the faftiion of the country, 

 was gathered up in the hand, and tied with a 

 ftring, in the manner of a pounce-bag. 



He aiked the price ; I told him the beft he 

 gave that day : he faid a guinea was the 

 higheft : I had previoufly tinderftood that a 

 guinea was " the top of the market/* and fold 

 it him at that price. He afked how much there 

 was of it ; I told him about fifteen coombs; 

 He marked the name, the quantity, and the 

 price upon the bulge of the paper, and the 

 bulmcls was done* 



His room was fet round with farmers, who> 

 the converfation being audible, were witneffes 

 to the bargain. 



Another fample I took to his mill j wifhing 

 to fee the conduction and economy of a Nor- 

 folk mill ; and afterwards fold him the re- 

 mainder of the quantity ; namely, about thirty 

 coombs.
