EdttOT StdT:-I notice in your valuable pa
per mention made of short "weights and
measures" 1t may be a small matter bat
the buyers are cheated outright in their pur-
chases. In the first place those spring scales
are weakened by long usage or Intentionally
by slight filing, and what is called ..spinch-
Ing" Purchasers have lot time or Opportu-
nityI nor do they care 10 take the trouble To
re-weigh their articles. The following is my
own experience, ard true: At X street mar
ket The other day, purchased 4 pounds of
dried beef at 80 cents, aud at another stall a
pound veal roast, asking and paying for
that quantity. Thinking the bulk Of beef ap-
peared small, L stepped into a neighboring
store and weighed IL; IL was eXactly4T ounces
short, and 10 my establishment the beef was
also ounces short. ] went back, he re-
weighed the beef and IT was l ?. ounces short
on his own scales. He charged me with eat
ing some Of it, and threw in few slices |
had not touched IL. l went back To the gro
cery, and then TO another, and at both places
The article proved TO be yet over three ounces
short! Therefore, in the first place was
beat ont OF about , cents. The veal said
nothing about. Altogether the two were
cheating me deliberately out of about II
cents, and this is continually transporting. Is
there no remedy, or Is "tO cheat the thing?"
FAIR PLAY.
We presume our correspondent aud Others
whose experience is the same, could find a
remedy by reporting the facts to the market
