C0Rmtycia} Circular Of W. f. HARRIS & Co,
Commission Merchants, Macon, Georgia.
Having tested the Southern market for one
year, we are prepared to make some suggestions to
the growers of produce-wheh, if improved, may
enable farmers and shippers to obtain better prices
for the products
heretofore the ride maaRey~of putting up produce
fUr market and then the want of speedy conveyance
to market have operated much against the interest
Of shippers. But the railroad have penetrated
further into the heart of the produce section; and
these roads extensively equipped, the strong
probability is, that henceforth there win be deten-
ton difficulty in reaching market at any of
the year.
Middle and Southern Georgia, will always, more
or less. need the products of Tennessee and afford to
pay prices for them, that viii handsomely
ale The growers for their trouble in producing and
preparing these products for market. But to realise
these far prices two things necessary to be done
first on the part of the farmer:
LIST. The article itself must be OF the best quality
ID. The article, whatever it may lie, must be put
up in theEery best manner in order to be presented
for sale inmarket, in good condition a
Supposing that every farmer or shipper wiz select
only the best sscles, we offer some d:reseps as to
preparing them for safe tIanspGratiou ndPrescrv-
in : them in good order.
A few Of the leading articles may SUFFICE.
APPLEs.-Apples should be well selected, sfres from
bruises and rotten speeks, and shipped in barrels per-
through. The same remark, as so the manner of
shipping apples to Irish Potatoes aud Onions: all of
which should be shipped, at intervals from Septem
Der until JGne.s
Georgia pays thousafds of dollars to New Y orh
and New England, annually fsr tllese three articles,
while Tennessee can furnish letter qualities of the
same, faE.the same prices.
