" STARVING 'EM OUT."

The following is from Lloyd's Weekly News :— " Only a few days ago we had a complaint from a Devonshire stock-raiser who had received 2s 2d for two pigs consigned to Smithfield market, when, at current prices, he should have had at least J6l 4s On Saturday last, necks of muttonNew Zealand - were on sale m a district of North London at a penny a lb ; breasts l£d. To the consumer's question as to why so cheap, the J butcher made answer, • We're starving 'em oat, ma'am ; they'll get tired of sending it over soon.' These latter acts were known to the law as ' forestalling the market' - still an offence against public trade. The whole are intensely injurious to the public, because a few rich men have the power to raise prices at their own will, and keep legitimate producers out, The statutes enaoted against these mal-practices (5 and 6 Edward VI., o. .14) are only partially repealed (12 George 111. c. 71) ; and were never more requisite to be put m foroe than now."
