REPORT OP THIS DAY'S SEED MARKET.—Me3srs.
W. H. & 11. Le May, seed faptors, 118, Borough
' High Street, London, report:—The demand for
clover and grass seeds c:-.litinues to diminish, but
prices remain without alteration. Stocks arc not
heavy, and prices being very low, holders are not
pushing.—April 301:, 1884,
A recent writer in ow local papers has wis ?Ig
observed that ''one of the follies of the age is t,, buy
dear Wines and Spirits." Another folly is to
suppose that buying from those who make the
argest return of duty is buying them in the
cheapest market. The Merchant who pays duty
upon thousands of gallons pays in exact proportion
to the retailer clearing, a single cask. A great profit
must be gained to cover enormous expenses of large
business premises, cost of advertising, and an
allowance of profit to the Agent, greater in
many inztances than taken by them in - the respect-
able Merchant. To buy cheap is to buy where but
one profit is made, and we cannot better illustrate
our argument than by pointing out the way in
hien {7,ur townsmen, Messrs. J. i.:utland and Son, of
63, High-at, have opened up the trade. We have
no hesitation in saying that 25 per cent, is now
saved by their bringing the producer and the con-
umer together, over the Rices pail a few years
ago, and a trial will fully hear out our assertions
