Farmers in general unfortunately for
themseiyes-sre frequently seriously EN-
harrassed for the want Of ready money
They may have Its equivalent IN the
guise Of land or prospective crops, but
these are not double eagles, and certain
number Of the latter must be forthcoming
or the crops cannot be harvested and
sold The fact may also be noted that
they, or the majority of them, are more
or less remote from the great markets CT
their state or section These txo truths,
added to the one that no market absorbs
itself all that canes into IL, but acts as a
distributing depot for other points, thus
requiring the farmer to secure foreign
outlet for his product, have resulted m
bringing inte' existence the middiemen,
now recognized by farmers and interior
merchants who handle produce to any
extent, as an. absalnts necessity. They,
are better known a commission msr-
chants, are always rvady to help theu
shippers, though IN every case through an
Interested motive, that Of securing their
shipments, and are frequently looked
upon bv the rustic as u sort of licensed
though as 1t will appear
before the end of this article Is reached,
this suspicion of dishonest dealing Is
quite frequently unfair. There are
few farmers in CaiiioInia who sell their
own crops in this market without the aid
.f middlemen, but they are very few and
far between, and almost all the gram,
wool, honey, dairy produce and iruIt,
which is placed upon the market ~ eA-
ported is handled by the commission NOR
chants, who receive for their labors from
nothing toS per cent. OF the gross amount
Of a sale before freight, drayase, storage,
or any Of the Incidental expenses that be
set the farmers consignment, are de
dueted. 1t will perhaps prove interest
Ing to take a few OF the principal pro
ducts Of the state and explain, not only
how they are placed upon the market
but some If the expenses which ae IN
Cured and their relatiye amounts, which
may also furnish a key To the proposition
why many arti,les which cost little or
nothing t., grew or raise should DC held
at such comparatively high figures III the
market. The cost of production, 1t IS
proposed, shall NOT he considered, as that
it is an entirely different question: The
