That market will very seldom be overstocked; but it will generally be understocked; the people, whose business it is to supply it, being generally afraid lest their goods should be left upon their hands.

那很少会积压；但通常会缺货；负责供应它的人们普遍担心他们的货物落在他们手。

The monopolists, by keeping the market constantly understocked by never fully supplying the effectual demand, sell their commodities much above the natural price, and raise their emoluments, whether they consist in wages or profit, greatly above their natural rate.

垄断者永不会完全满足有效需求，从而使持续供不应求，从而以自然价格的价格出售他们的商品，并将他们的报酬（无论是工资还是利润）提到自然率的水平。
