The Committee appointed to confider of die prefect - High Price of Provifions, and to Report the fame, with their Opinion thereupon, from time to time, to the Houfe : Have proceeded to confider of the prcfent Rate of the Corn Trade, with a view to inquire into the abufes fuppofed to exift therein, and to examine any regulations which it might be thought expe dient to propofe, in order to the more regular and fatisfaelory management of the bufinefs in future : they now offer the general refult of this inveftiga tion to the Houfe, together with the evidence which has been laid before them (to which they beg leave to refer for more detailed information), with a view to prepare for the fubjeit's being re fumed in a future Seffion, under circumilances, it is to be hoped, more favourable for legiflative interference, on a point of fo much delicacy and difficulty, as the permanent regulation of the Corn Trade. Your Committee have found thernfelves obliged to confine their inquiries, principally to the Corn Trade in this Metropolis; the Rate of which. ho w ever, in feafons of dearth and fcarcity like the, prefent, cannot but have a very material effea on moll of the markets throughout England. It appears from a variety of evidence which is annexed to this Report, that, aridly fpeaking, there is no regulated public corn market at this day exiling in the city of London; the Corn Trade therein being wholly carried on at the Corn Ex change in Mark-lane, which was ereofted in a con fined (pace, and on a limited kale, about forty or fifty years ago, for the accommodation of the Teflon and Dealers (who, before that time, car- , ried on their bu fi nefs at 3ear Qiiay,-expored to the weather and other inconveniencies), at the pri - rate expence of individuals, and is confequently private property : that this property is divided in to into about eighty (hares, molt of which are held by Faders or stealers in corn; the eftate be ing managed by a committee of three traces, chofen by the proprietors, to whom Mr. Smiton is Secretary, and is likewife Infpeiftor of Corn Re tarns in London, defied to that office by the fame body of Proprietors in virtue of the Ratute 31 Geo. 111. c. 30. This committee have the uncontrouled difpofal of all the Rands on which the famples of torn are expofed to tale, and which are limited to the number of feventy-two ; fixty-four of them be ing leafed to Fallon; or Dealers, and the remain ing eight appropriated to the site of the Lena& hoymen. Although it is Rated to your C.ommit.i. tee, that the pofteffion of thefe Rands is new! transferred for a valuable confederation, as obsi leafe would thereby be vacated • yet there Wass reafon to believe, that in Come in ftances large fume have been given for fuels an accommodatioh ; without which it appears wholly impradieable for any one to carry on the trade of a Faaor or Deal er in corn to any material extent; though the Ex. i change is indeed confidered as open to all who come to buy and fell; and there are inftances of perfons attending the *market at times, who brio; with them their famples in their pockets. It alto appears to your Committee, that the Fac tors and Dealers are at liberty either to expofe all their fan:pies at the fame time on their Rands, or as few of them as they think fit ; fo that in fait a Bayer has no means whateverofudging from the appearance of the famples ex pof ed on the Rands, during any period of the mar k et, what the fupply Ist added to which, it does not appear to your Committee that any public authentic mode is at yretent provided for communicating to the fee.' Tauter: of the Corn Exchange, wh}t the aftual quantities of Corn imported coaliwife, or from abroad, at any given period, really are ; nor what part of it is in a merchantable Rate, and fit for immediate tale ' • though, it is true that perfOns Parrying on the bufinefs on a great IC a/e, and hav ing large conneftions, may, with more or lefs trou ble and difficulty, acquire the neceffary informa tion on theft points, by a reference to the entries at the Cuflom-houfe and Cocket-office, and by a comparifon of different returns ordered to be made, by law, for various purpofes. It further appears to your Committee, that in tome inftances Fa&ors import largely, and even deal in Briti(h Corn to a great extent on their own account; but that feveral of them think it more proper to abftain from Itch a praßice, confider mg, as it has been Rated by tome of them. it that the bufinift of a Corn-fatlor is posfsaly from that of a Corn-merchant, becaufe a perfon who receives confignments, and deals at the fame time on his own account, may not always be is. dined to terve his employers with that impartiality he otherwife would do." There is reafon alto ' apprehend, that in fume inflances Fadors, baring large quantities of Corn of their own to difp o f e may be tempted to employ the fuperior knowledge and influence they poffers in the market, for the undue advancing or maintaining the rites of the article, in times of earneft demand and inadequate (apply, to the difadvantage of the Public. This practice, however, does not Teem altogether of a modern date; though your Committee think it not improbable, from the increafed importations which have taken place within a few years pall, that it may have been parried to a greater extent within a late period. It further appears to your Committee. that a praillice has prevailed, for a eonfiderable time, of purcharing Corn, with a view to fell it again in the fame or Tome future market, at an increafed price, by perfons who are called Jobbers; hut it Ihould Teem that there tranfaaions principally apply to the trade in Oats; and there is even a confiderable difference of opinion among ante who have been examined on this point, both as to the extent offuch a proceeding, and the 12111X her of individuals concerned. Such being the leading fads, as they appear np. on the Evidence, your Committee beg leave to obferve upon them : 1. That the prefent Corn Exchange is much too confined for the haulers carried on in it, which has of late years increafed confiderably. That the timber of hands is too (mall for the fair and rea fonable acconueodation of all thofe who may have bufinefs to tranfaa, and that confequently the pre fent Corn-market can hardly be conlidered as aft open one ; competition is to a certain degree pre vented, and the trade throwninto too few hands. That from the Exchange being private property, and principally in the - hands of Corn.faaors and Dealers, there is fome reafon to fufpeft partiality in the manner of transferring and leafing the Rands. That confiderable inconvenience refults to the pub lic from the want of a (worn Clerk or Superinten. dant of the Market, appointed by fome competent and impartial authority, and placed, by meant of an adequate compenfation for his time and troop ble, beyond the furpicion of undue influence; by the want of an open and correct regifter of tranfaftiona in the Market ; and from there being no regular hours prefcribed for opening and doling the Ex. change on every market dap With a view to remedy t hofe material inconve. niencies, your Committee recommend, that effeau al meafures fhould be adopted, early in the next Seffion of Parliament, for. enlarging and opening the Corn-market in London, either by removing it to, the Well Side of Tower-hill, near the River, or by extending the Exchange in Mark-lane, by the purchafe and pulling down Come of the Ware houfes and Premifes farrounding it, according tort plan mentioned in the Appendix, the expences of which alteration might probably be provided for without much difficulty in to opulent a metropo lis; for appointing, by election of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, or other competent and tinfurpea ed authority, a proper Clerk or Superintendant of the Market, to be refponfible to the Corpofation; and for eflabfilhing a eorreft and public Regifter of all tranfitaions therein, and, regular hours fat opening and doling the fame. 11. That it would likewife be advantageous to the public, if Faaors and Dealers in Corn wets compelled by law to expoib all the Samples intend. ed to be by them offered for tale on a given day, at the fame time, publicly on their Stands, at the opening of the Market, marking on each bag the quantities to which it related ; abftrafts of which marks fhould be delivered to the Clerkof the Market, for public infpeetion, before iti opening; and fur ther, that it would be advifable that Come regular and authentic publication•thould take place in the Market, of the quantities of all Corn arrived coat wife, from abroad, os in the River, within a given period, either by Returns tranfmitted from the proper officer at the Cuhom-houfe, or Coact office, to the Clerk of the Market, or. otherwife, as might be thought expedient. And with a view to the'fame objea, it might be proper to provide for the conflant and impartial infpeftion of the quality of all Corn on board (hips, or in (luna tics, in order to afcertain whether it was, or was not, in a hate fit to be brought into the Market for Cale and contimpt;on. 111. That it would be expedient to preeenteorn, faltors from becoming Dealers on their own ac count; and, with that view to place them on the footing of Brokers in other Trades carried on with. in the City of London, by obliging them to give Bonds to the fame effeet. Your Committee can. not but think, that fuch a regulation would be found advantageous upon the principle alluded to in a preceding page of this Report, and they have the fatisfaftion of perceiving, from the evidence of fome very intelligent Faftors, in a confiderable line of bufinefs, that no material detriment or incon. venienie could arife from it to the perfons con. cerned; if adopted, as it ought to be, with full no- tice, end applied to the regular and uniform coerce of trade, and not to any particular and critical emergency like the premix. IV: Your Committee cannot hefitate to declare an opinion, that the praftice of purchafing Corn to fell it again, in the fame or fome fubfequent Market before delivery, and confequently before the payment becomes due on the fir(( Pale, with a view to a polfible advantage on the difference be tween the firh and fecond price of the article, ought to be difeouraged. If any effeaual meafuressould be propofed for preventing fuch fpeculations in Corn, without materially affeaing the ufual courfe of Trade, or interfering with the fair and necef fary means which muff exit in concluding tom. !Tierce on a great (gale, and in an advanced Rate of fociety, they might very properly and reafon ably be adopted. For it is obvious, the price of any commodity mull be enhanced by every inter mediate profit which is taken in its palfage to con fornption, beyond fuch peceffarily mires from the.more convenient and fpcedy modes of convey. ing it from the firft hand to the confumer.—Whe- Sher thofe are, in particular cafes, ufeful or fuper huous, is a matter of very difficult difcrimination fa a Legiflative point of view, and the decifion . me in general depend on an examination and ledge of an infinite variety of circurnflances. 'one hand the Statute Law exprefsly allows 1 the buying of Corn to fell it again for profit, by the precise words of the AR of 31 Geo. 111. C. 30* fee. .2. ; and, on the other, the ancient Commaii Law of the Land prohibits any one from buying of Corn, or other dead vitalist], in any market, and felling it again in the fame market, or within four miles of the fame, which conditutes the offence of Rcgrating. It has, however, been fuggefted to beu,. Committee, that conf i derable benefit would derived, and no inconvenience (Whined, from prohibiting the re-fale of Corn in Mark-lane till at leaft four weeks had elapfed from the time of the firft purchafe (to be afcertained by the Regifter, or by the Meter's Book); it being prefuaned in this cafe, that by the comic of trade, the Corn would have been aflually delivered to the original pnr chafer, and the price paid for it, before it could be a fecond time offered for Pale, and confoqoently that lath fpeculiuion of the kind alluded to would be much embarraffed, if not wholly prevented.— This propofition is certainly deferring of atten tion, and proceeds from revere] refpodable quer tett ; your Committee therefore think they canon
