To cite you one instance. which was my last purchase, and made ight im amount in order tosee how big fraud could come out of so small « trade, I bought of a respectable butcher a few mutton chops; he put them on his scales and said, + A pound and taree-quar- ters—forty-five cents.” 1 said, «What are theya pound!’ He said, «Twenty-five cents.” 1 paid for them, and passing along to the stand of a candy dealer, who had a common grover's scales, acked bim to weigh the chops. They weighed one pound and ome ounce. I took took them back to the araudulent vender, ang charged bim with the fraud, and bis whole manner convinced me that he is practising the same sort of piracy on his customers daily. I know that these instances which I mentton are not excepuonal, or ] should not spead my ‘ume in asking you to come to the rescue of the ceople who ae so reasonably complaining that their money goes so litle ways in market ip supplying their necessive Nothing but a fair warniag to housekeepers and & constant vigilance will break up thi practice.
