Tigh Prices Again

In consequence of the extraordinary price
demanded for Corn meal, in this place,
when it is believed there is no justifying
cause, we have been requested by one or
two persons to state, that the evil may be
remedied by those who want Corn or Meal
by clubbing together and dapositing their
money with some person to be selected by
thcm,- an agent then TO be sent to the
country to bay Corn Which will be after
wards distributed among the persons in pro-
portion to the amount paid b. each The
suggestion is coed enc aud doubtless viii
he acted upon, OF the right of sellers to
obtain the highest lrioo for their commoli-
tics no enc can complain, bat it is the equal
risht of 'hase who have to buy. to buy at
the lowest prices. Butter has fallen a shade
il price, and viii fall still lower if pureha-
sefs will refuse to pay the prices asked.
\ respectable and intelligent farmer of this
county informed us ca Monday, that he had
just sold some 80 pounds of butter at a
shilling pound, saying thai vas ps.ec c.
nough, and yet % cents per pound vas ass-,
cd by the retailer for that Same bptter.--
This is an extortion which ought not 10 be
submitted to. How do such prices contrast
with the following related to us by another
farmer-a person offered him 81, so cents
for a bushel Of NIeal-thc farmer had but
little to spare, but he refused the price and
sold the article at s a bushel, saying it was
much as the Meal was worth and it was as
high price as he could take. We are at
starvation prices, and something must be
done to enable those who are trying to make
living to do so. The prices of labor have
not advanced, and it is impossible at the
present prices of living and labog for the
mechanic to make living for his family
We understand that Corn Meal is now sell
ing at 81 57A, Gel hell tue poor
