however of a few inconfiderate ebullitions of 
popular furv, the country at large has borne 
the deficiency of laft year’s crop with exem- 
plary fortitude. They repofed on the expec- 
tation that the prefent crop would produce 
a confiderable reduction in the prices of ar- 
ticles of the firft neceflity. To their poign- 
ant regret this hope has now vanifhed ; and 
although the produce of the fields has been 
moft pienteous, grain has experienced, not 
a temporary elevation, but a confirmed rife, 
which affords a melancholy profpect of its 
ftate during the winter and {pring months. 
That _there is a fufficient quantity im the 
country to meet its wants, no one ventures 
to deny. It would feem that the momen- 
tary depretlion in the prices was occafioned 
by the prefling necefflities of the fmall far- 
mers, whofe {tock being foon exhaufted, the 
great farmers and dealers were confequentiy 
ieit to demand their own terms, and, by af- 
fecting a fhynets in bringing their grain to 
ket, to gradually ftretch the price to the ut- 
moft. What compulfory means may be re- 
quifite to reftrain this nefarious practice, will 
probably engrofs the attention of the enfu- 
ing meeting of the legiflature. To f{peculate 
on them at prefent would be premature ; but 
the urgency of their adoption is apparent to 
every unprejudiced perfon.
