we have repeatedly commented upon the con-
dltton Of the wheat coming to this market. A
nerusal OF the classification at the head Of these
remarks will show that very large proportion
of the offerings Is inferior or in had order Com
mission merchants having the sale of such wheat
are sorelv perpleSed at this, for they find 1t diff
cult to make sale of It and then eyacting patrons
are not satisfied with the prices. The o~ner
ought remember however. when he sets price on
bad wheat as high IL it were good that 1t tales
two to make bargain, and that, accordingly, the
buyer has a voice in the matter.
| A coulmissto merchant doing business on ths
Basin bank has adopted the plan land very ex.
celent one 1t is) Of reporting to the owner when
he makes returns to him the quality of each sam.
pie in the same manner as he does to the secreta r.
of;he Exchange when he reports bis sales. Tha,
Is ne tells the farmer what was the fault, If any
with his wheat thus &C couI ting for the price
For instance, he reports to the owner sale Of
white wheat at a certain figure and tells him
Your whe' was foul had cookie and onion In
it,n and this was the highest price such sample
would bring. This shows the farmer that the COM
mission merchant knows what he is doing, and II
is calculated to prevent useless correspondence
We referred few DAYS ago to some remark:
made by the Knoxville Wing and Herald about
Richmond men and markets. Let us see, no ~
Whist the same paper says about things in its OWE
, Ineighborhood. Here Is what we extract from IT.
