But you still have producers holding back corn supplies,
even though hoarding is forbidden by law. In Stratford in
1597 seventy-five townsmen are found guilty of hoarding
corn Worse than this, "engrossers" buy up all the
local supply of an important commodity, such as eggs or
butter, in order to drive up the price. In the 1590s certain
unscrupulous businessmen buy up to twenty thousand
pounds of butter-and this is disastrous because it is an
important part of people's diet. Combined with hoarding,
this has dramatic consequences for the poor. In some
places the famine of 1594-97 proves as deadly as the
plague of 1563.
