QUEBEC, NOV. "a.
BAKERs-The shops of the Bakers in
this city have presented, for some time
past. the appearance which is usual in
places where famine prevails. Crowds of
people may be seen at the Bakers doors,
all clamorous for bread, some worn out
by long and fruitless waiting, going away
cursing, others arriving, determined to
have bread, all with the money in their
hands, all equally disappointed at last.
There is, however, no famine IA the
country. 1t abounds with food of all
kinds.
THE paper then states, in long article,
that the fault is in the law regulating bak-
ers. But as the af5airis, many respectable
families are obliged to use potatoes instead
