Want of regular market for sale of produce

1. Page 109. April 1798. "The delivery of grain . . . . was so
"completely monopolized, + + copy to "the petty farmers in general" that the settlers had but few opportunities
"of getting the full value for their crops. A few wo words will
"place this iniquitous combination in its proper light.
"The settler found himself thrust out from the granary, by
"a man whose greater opulence created greater influence. He
was then driven by his necessities to dispose of his grain
"for less than half its value. To whom did he dispose of it!
"to the very man whose greater opulence enabled him to
"purchase it, and whose greater influence could get it
"received into the public store" —

Orders had been repeatedly issued on this very subject,
"the store keepers being most pointedly directed to give the
"preference to the man whose grain was the pro produce
"of his own labour; and if any favour were shewn, to let
it be to the poor but industrious settler who might be
"encumbered with a large family. But the necessary and
"humane directions had been too often frustrated by circumstances
"which were carefully kept from the knowledge of
"the governor; it was, however, proved to him, that on occasion
"if the store at the Hawkesbury being opened for the acception
"of 1500 bushels of wheat, the whole was engrossed by
"two or three of these opulent traders, to the exclusion and
"injury of others, and the petty farmers in general.
