TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,

Ir is an unfortunate fad for the Community,
especially the liver orders ,of it, that notwith-
standing the termination of the War, and the re-
moval of every other solid reason for it, the high
price of Butcher's ,Meat, Bacon, Cheese, &c. con-
tinues. This seems to be in a great measure owing
to a system among the Farmers and Graziers, adopted
by general consent, which is, that unless they
can obtain their own price for their conlmodity, not
to sell it; to this I have lately been a frequent wit_
'tress, and the fact is, generally speaking, incontest-
able; and some Graziers make no scruple of declar-
ing it. At the present enormous prices, it may be
asserted without risk of contradi6tion, that the
poorer orders are entirely excluded from Butcher's
Meat, and many of the middling class nearly so. It
seems extraordinary to me, that no mode has been hit
upon to reduce this necessary, article to a more
reasonable rate, and that no methods have been
adopted, as during the very high price of Grain,
which being now at a reasonable rate, and a plenti-
ful crop of potatoes, would very essentially assist
in diminishing the price of Meat. If all Masters
of :Families would determine upon increasing the
quantity of puddings, pies, &c. at present consumed
in their houses, and diminishing that of Meat,
which in my opinion might be done without hard-
nhip, in the proportion of one-third ; the con-
sumption being lessened, the demand, and conse-
quently the price would be lessened also, as fat
Cattle cannot be withheld like Grain, but are kept
at a considerable expence, which after a certain pe-
riod begins to eat up the Grazier's profits. The
danger of Grain increasing in price from this mode
is not great, as the Ports of all the Woad are now
open to us. It is high time the public should be-
nefit by a plenty almost unexampled, and partake
with the Farmer and Grazier of those 'blessings
which they have for several years enjoyed the al
most exclusive advantage of, and with a greediness
which seems- to be insatiable, fattened upon the
public distress, and are now exerting every effort to
do so still ; which sufficiently appears by the re-
ports from most of the Country Fairs, where, though
high prices have been offered, the Sheep and Cattle
have been driven away unsold. With respel to the
London market, the price must always be high in
it while Salesmen are tolerated, who have now their
correspondents in every part of the country :- the
quantity coming to market, is by this means in a
great measure regulated, and care of course taken
that it shall not be such as to lower the price.
Should you think any benefit likely to result from
the publication of this, be good enough to publish
it, with the best wishes for its success, of
