The first grain market notice began with the market scale book and the merchants’ sealed delivery chits. Since then, the city has moved through a source check, a public hearing and a trial at the Lower Market Hall beside the east stair.
The current docket records 41 sacks weighed before the first bell; the earlier file recorded 39. The count is more specific than the first summary, but still does not answer whether the morning price rise reflects a smaller harvest or a bottleneck at the lift.
A key point in the timeline was the discovery of a chipped bronze weight kept beside the market’s standard measure. It narrowed the dispute from a general claim about the rule to a question about how the rule behaves at the site.
Merchants cite fewer sacks at the gate; carriers say several loads waited below the cliff lift overnight. The current record does not settle that disagreement. The parties now share more of the record than they did at the start, though they assign it different weight.
A new complaint or proposal has been entered under a dated docket. The entry belongs to the follow-up survey file at the Lower Market Hall beside the east stair. The market clerk will publish weights from the gate and the hall on the same day. The next review will show whether the change lasts beyond this docket or returns as another temporary exception.
