to Capt. Hsrris'a company. He Afterwards
denied this, and said that the Southern Con

Prices Of Market Pgoduce.-It is known
that at the last meeting of the City Council
that body passed resolution instructing the
committee on the two markets to have an in
terview with the military authorities, for the
purpose of comforting on the advisabiity of
removing the prices prescribed for articles of
country produce exposed for sale In the mar.
kes of this city. Parties uniformed in re-
gard to the various causes which have con-
apired to create this scarcity, erroneously as
sert that it arises "from the tariff of prices
prescribed by Gen. Winder." That estimable
and worthy gentleman had about as much to do
with producing the present scarcity of supplies
Ia the city markets" as the man In the moon had
1t il very well known that before Gen. Wind
sr's so called edict appeared, the people of this
city were subjected to the most fragrant impo-
sition by parties having anything to sell that
might be In demand. The edict was mea-
sure of relief, and hailed by the people rs
such. There is no doubt that. in some In.
stances, the country people In the habit OF Wis
ting tho Richmond markets with produce
have resolved not to come until An equal
chance with others Of charging what they
pleased might be allowed them. But this is
not the Case with the great body of them-to
many Of whom it is a necessity of their ex.
istenee to repair hither. While no doubt
very interesting ioust has been going on be.
tween Gen Winder and certain spectators in
produce, in which both parties have been
striving 70 show the superiority of their wit,
eeverneas, skill, and ssratsgem, the specu-
lators Tor hue ksters, as they are Called only
have had the inside track, the public being the
losers by diminished supplies arising from the
above source.
A famine in respect to -four was lately 70.

the Provost Marshals issued another ukass,
