If the manufactures, especially, of which those commodities are

the materials, should ever come to flourish in the country, the

market, though it might not be much enlarged, would at least be

countries. Though it might not rise, therefore, in the same

proportion as that of butcher's meat, it ought naturally to rise

somewhat, and it ought certainly not to fall.
