Council on Monday next As nay be seen by
aperusai of the bill in Tuesday 8 Star, irs pro
visions are very stringent, and if parsed and
enforced, will make the merchants Of the mar.

What good such a law may do remains I, be
seen, but if it will have the effect TO chespen

butter and eggs" purchasers will have cause
to rejoice. We however doubt its efficiency.
for trade will haveits way in spite of all efforts
against it, and 'forestalling" is but another
name for trade, in all branches of traffic. VIVA,
will persons engaged in the business care for
the two hour restriction! They aciX buy
and sell to the best advantage to themselves
just like the grocer or the ry-goods merchant
and the Corporation might as we'll undertake &c
enforce law against buying caiicoes from the
manufacturer In given time, to sell again

but by banishing such traders from the mar
kets altogether, or quit eating such stuff al
vegetables, fruit, game, butter and eggs y
If the latter alternative be adopted, the Board.
Of Aldermen and Common Council must get the
example. 20 -
