I was told by an old gentlman this morni[n]g <​who told me​> that the spirit of Mobocracy was almost subsiding.— These mercha[n]ts have as the people arboad [abroad] say.— told the people. that they need not bring butter eggs &c—— <​to ​> will n[o]t tell their names. if they will not let the people bring in their produce.— the people will not buy their goods.
