" One of the baker tribe , " . resi . dent at Glasgow , suggests a mede of escape rfoTtJJe consumer ^ if there ; reaUy , is the alleged conspiracy among ; bakers : — " Let 200 or more persons form themselves into a joint-stock baking society . The capital required would be as follows—Flour , say ten sacks , or less , a . p 45 s ,, 22 ? . 10 s . ; baking utensils for a small concern , 37 . 10 s . ; total 26 ? ., and their capital ac « ovmt is closed ; rent , taxes , and wag ^ ss , being paid out of revenue . " " This , " as the Glasgo-w Baker says , "is a very simple remedy ; " and it is not -without a parallel . When . there was a practical monopoly of the flour trade at Leeds , some years ago , a number of people put together one . sovereign a piece , and set up a mill to furnish themselves with flour . The mill has become a permanent institution , with three or four thousand sovereign-prpprietprs , its own customers ; and it altogether destroyed the . flour monopoly in that great town , securing a good supply at the ordinary market-price of the entire country .

Selling Bkeap by WBiairr . — "The eating Iatv fpr regulating the sale of bread , " says tho ( Qgtfhrd C / ironicle , " though passed with a view to prevcnt . fraud and obviate dissatisfaction with the dealings of itlWJ bakers , is very far from satisfactory in its workhjg . It binds , every baker , under a penalty , to keep scales nn < l weights on his counter for weighing bread ; but the us « pf the scales and weights is not made compulsory upon the baker unless the purchaser shall desire it . The consequence is , that the law is almost wholly inoperative , inasmuch as it happens that ninety-nine out of every humdred purchasers oither do not knpw of such a lav being in existence , or nrp led to hesitate in availing
themselves of its prpvisions . Thus the purchaser pp often defrauded , & } xd t , hp fair dealer injured , by 0 . very gew , crAl practice which has arisen pf selling the 41 b . loaf subject to a deficiency . of so many ounces more or less ia the weight , a . specious pretence being made of soiling it cheap , while , as tho reduction of price ia more than counterbalanced by the reduced weight , it is really dcar . er than it ought to bo . It ought , therefore , to bo gononiliy undersijpocl that purchasers pf broad have a right tp delnandthat it shall bp sold by weight , and- that a 41 !) loqf is . not ; to bo deo »» o « l of tl ^ it weight unless tho b / ikftr shavU place it on hia ecnlcs , and weigh it in prcjon , * of tho purchaser , failing bin doing whicji on being r « - qmostcd , tho law renders him subject to a penalty : "
