community. It is not altogether unknown, 
that Country Bankers, although, no doubt, 
with a view only to extend the circulation of 
their paper, have, by their accommodations, 
enabled selfish individuals to monopolize to a 
considerable extent what they would other- 
wise have been obli2:ed to send to market. 
We must, however, for the sake of truth and 
candour, confess, that dealers in corn, Millers 
and Bakers, are not at this time monopo- 
lizers to any great extent. The growers of 
corn having, for a few years past, become 
more opulent than heretofore, are, at the 
present time, enabled to circumvent those 
gentlemen, and avail themselves of their 
previous example, by holding it back from 
market, and thereby deriving some part of 
the advantages which otherwise would be 
reaped by them ; for, if a farmer, who has 
his corn in hand, is pressed for a sum of 
money to pay his rent, or for any particular 
occasion, he may be easily accommodated at 
a Country Bank.
