Qrs. 205 9 SMITHFIELD, Monday, Feb. 13. The market on Friday looking downward, previous prices were with difficulty obtained. To-day we have an over large number of Beasts, and quite enough of Sheep, both of which are lower, and trade very dull. Unless things be held back, prices must go down; but if a necessity exists, which we fear is too much the case, and money must be had, it can be obtained only by a sacrifice. Those who hold on may find affairs no better two or three months hence; and City, 15th Feb. 1826. an over supply, in the present state of affairs, must inevitably reduce the value of fat Stock. Hemp.

On the present state of the Paper-Thing, and particularly on the Small-Paper Money Bill, now before the House of Commons. SIR, Kensington, 22d February, 1826. THERE has been, since Parliament met, such masses of botheration put forth, that the public in general, and that even you, can, being, as you are, at a distance from the scene, have but a confused notion of the real state of the PAPER-THING, and of what is going on, in Parliament, relative to it. It shall be my business, at this time, to endeavour to make these matters as plain as I can; Printed and Pablished by WILLIAM COBBETT, No. 183, Fleet-street. [ENTERED AT STATIONERS' HALL.] |
