Market Sharps.
--Men who hang about the suburbs to buy country produce on its way to the city, by false representations, are doing a good deal to injure the people at large, and deserve to be severely punished. Yesterday morning two country men were met on their way to market with fresh meat, and assured by these "sharps." that they would not be allowed to sell it at any price unless they procured butchers' license. Supposing that the statement was true, they sold out to their informants, who no doubt expect to make a handsome profit by their operation. If the country men can succeed in getting the names of the swindlers, the law will punish them severely for obtaining goods by false pretences.The markets are open to the country people at all times, and they can always get better prices for their produce at the market houses than anywhere else. Every ordinance the Council has passed has been for the benefit of the producer, and every on couragement will be given them to send their products to market that they can ask for. Let them beware of wayside purchasers in the future.
