time of scarcity many have done so and have from one thousand to seven even thousand bushels of wheat on hand briDgi bringing Dg in no increase or profit Is it just to tax this then another wicked man

business is dull and we have time to straighten things up they were shipping a large amount of grain at a good figure too also shipping from the butchers department many calves and lambs during the
