In Penasylva- nia, topics of much interest had beon assigned to maay men of that State, andof the city of Philadelphia. The report recemmesded the formation of a New York Why Provisions are High. SEPOUMETO BB RYFRETED IN THS NEW YORK MARKETS. ‘Theco is much surprise manifested at the exorbitant prices provisions of ofl kinds now command in the New York markets, Woot after wook the tables of farm pro- duce exhibit an upward tendency, end the prices now are double amd treble those paid but a fow years ago.

Tho existing war, aad the conseq de- mand for American breadstaffs abroad, the drought of last summer, nad the enhanced valeation of ail par- chasable commodities by the influx of California gold, which has in effect reduced the actual value of money, have been mentioned as affording a ciue te they mys- tery; and mo doubt these causes have had their influ- ence in bringing about the high prices ef provisions, of whioh our poor people se loudly and so justly compisin, But after all, there is reason te believe that other agencies are at work, equally potent to effect the mis, chief complained of, and which it is in tie power of our citizens te remedy and correct. Bocont developoments go te show that the great difi- culty arisés from combinations among the cattle and provision dealers, who have reduced their oporations to scoclence, aad whe manage to fleece beth producers end consumers with perfect impunity. ‘The means ompleyed by these people are very simple. ‘The cattle dealers, for instance, havean understanding with one aacther net te offer over certain prices to the Grover or stock-reiser whom he arrives in town with his herd of cattle ready for slaughter. Hoe is perfectly pow- exleas, aud has no protection or redress whatever.

Many butchers have contracts with private families, hotels aad public institutions, and for great pecuniary loss in endeavoring to fill the: moat is much higher mew than when they were made. Tho provision monopelists manage matters equally ‘well for their own interest, With them the farmers have Seomewhat better chamos, asthe gardea track, fraite and vegetables are of « more perishable mature, and are consequently mere fuctuating im price. Bat with the more staple productions—wheat, rye, oats, and the like—the speculators have it all their ewn way, and both consumers and producers are robbed outrageously, Were all the facts kmowa comceraing this great conspi- racy—for it is nothing olse—it would create genoral sur- priae, and excite go little popular indigaation. Of course nothing can be (parned dednitely concerning the ar- rangoments of those parties, show thet such « combination exists, and has its rami- fications all over the country. Our citizens do not escapes the extortions of the dealers in garden truck, theagh the farmers may. An understanding is arrived at, and purchasers complain bitterly that there is no competition to keep down the peice of provisions, as in other commodities. For all this there is bat one remeiy, and that is, to bring consumers aud producers together, witnout the in- terposition of either wholesale or retat! dealers, Let.our market arrangements be so reformed that farmers can sell directly to housekespers, and thus do away with the opportunity now afforded, of hucksters charging what they please, As the evil is monopoly, its corrective must be unrestricted free trade. According to our present caarket laws, none but: regular dealsrscan have a chance to sell to purchasers, amd every impediment is placed in the way ef farmers who wish to dispose ef their produce. Fines are imposed if they sell inany but designated places, and the hucksters take every advantage of their verdancy to crowd them from nor have'they any redress for the anuoy- are subject to. The hucksters are trained to their business, and are up to all the ‘dodges’ of the trade, and the countryman whe attempts to compete with them, finds himself befooled, outwitted and crowded out of the market. The present market laws appear to have been gottem up expressly for the benofit of the re- gular dealers, to the exclasion of a legitimate competi- tor, and it behooves the press and the pub Nc te see that athorough reform is effected"in this most important inte thin distwict daring the week ending Friday, Jone 9, 1866:— Commence ov tau Post or New Youx—Wanxtr Ix- f : i i “ +4 seseye Fe 5 BBBrn | Se 23 os 2 egsg EREbSvEceEs Breve!

An invelligi- ble code of laws should replace them. 3, Days should be set apart for the exclusive use of the markets by the country dealers. Our markets, in their preteat condition, are a disgrace to the city. They afford but poor accommodations to the dealers, and none at all to the public. Take Wash- ington Market asanexample: There are no conveniences I is dirt and confusion, One is com- pelled to wade almost ancle deep in mud, while from every: quarter you are saluted with the most unsavory and aoisome odors, which offend the air day and night. There is a regulation which makes it obligatory en the market clerk to thoreughly cleanse the floor, pavement and sidewalks adjoining the market, hut it, of course, is never heeded.

The financial affairs of tho company are detailed in the report at some length. The balance required to finish the road is $990,930. To provide for this and to pty the contractors the per centage retained as eecurity for the completion of their contracts, the Board have authorized the further isme of bonds to the extent of $2,000,000, including the $500,000 to be endorsed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. of the road, when completed, are represented aa of the most promising character, and the belief is expressed that it will have the largest ton nage business of any road im this country. It is eati- mated that the gross revenue of the road will be abont $888,000, and that the entire expenses, includ- ing repairs and $276,000 interest on stock and loans, will be $618,950. But as an estimate for the first year, two-thirds of these estimates are taken, showing a surplus, after paying six per cent om its cost, of $69,125. The report concludes by showing the great advantages that must acsrue to Baltimore from the completion of this road, giving her the thortest 1nd most expeditious route to the West. The report of B. H. Latrope, the chief engineer, acoompanies the report, and gives fall and interest, ing detaila of the progress which has been made in constructing the road. The present prospect is that the road will be completed in May, 1856, and opened for travel avd trade—and then will we have ths great straight line of railroad between the Atlantic and the valleys of the Ohio and Mississippi rivors, that no rivalry can compete with, ‘The aanoxrd statoment oxbibite the quantity and ‘value of cortein articles, oxeopt dry goods, imported several corporate socie- ‘The entire num- thin the last few snd feathers cleaned,dyeil and curled to Joo sroaintens piven in embroidery y Boh Mtn A lh we WOULD BEG LEAVE TG CALL THE ATTI ectioners, and the trade in go my horefore ple me, N gay eh re the coeal pr gue paste, gum dr im There was more of apartments nice asked, Spanish was held em bo sand x ‘Asser Hed this man mede $4,000 nted.on deprive him of it.
