As 1t Ia important that quotations OF to-

ms possible, and rs there is not yet established
here any official standard classification where
by to determine quotations, would it not be
committee Of the trade selected for the pur-
pose, or the executive committee, were to fix
npon some classification, which could be
adopted by the trade and used by the news
papers as a uniform guide? at present
every one has his own mode Of classifying,
and hence it is almost impossible to get for
publication anything reliable. Even the state.
ment of daily sales-that is, the publication
of the number of hogsheads sold, and the
prices, is of comparatively little value without
such classification as we refer to. we make
this suggestion for the benefit Of all concerned
in the trade.
