;. commission will ind in this a valuable auxiliar'
to the trade seeing that their business is most sat
isfactory with the steady shippers, whose marks Of
D their stands are assurances Of prompt sales ans
good prices These will be benefited through am
improvement Of the market which better asserting
may bring; by the equalizing Of markets that shal
tend to give their locality steady supply in accord
ance with its demand; by the greater influence o
cooperative effort to systematic the work. correc
. abuses and save expenses; by the establishment Of
4 bureau Of information TO which they may have
ready access; by greater confidence established
) with the consumer that the business is to be i'm
proved; and by cooperating with the consignore
to find a steadier market for the shifting product
Of those growers who may not be so well hxed.-

The main object Of the exchange is to regulate
the supply of fruit shipped as to ensure regu-
lar market. Under the system heretofore in use
fruit was shipped at hap hazard by the growers
and the chances were about even whether It reached
a market where 1t was in demand, or one that was
already glntted. In the iattercase there was tenn
porary advantage on the side Of the consumer,
But this was more than overcome by the subse-
quent scarcity Of fruit in that MARKET for the grow
ers once having made miscalculation were shy
Of venturing again. This is particularly the case
where the place of trade is a city so far removed
as this is from the region in which the fruit is
grown. The freight on a single basket Of peach
Is shipped from the Delaware peninsula to New
Haven sabout 30 cents.
A regular market is OF hrst importance to the
grower and a regular supply is Of hrst Importance
to the dealer and consumer. Complete system in
this business must benefit every one interested,
and by reducing the losses increase the profits
without material increase Of the average cost Of
basket OF prime peaches. Peaches grown in Della
ware or the Maryland pennsul bear transportation
better than those grown in any other section Of
country, and with the system and despatch that /
