The more this administration probes in
the various departments so long under
republican control the more structural
weakness it will find. Take the agri-
cultural department for example. Those
squash and sorghum seeds may have
been all right, but the genial DOCTORS
way of accounting for the funds is APP

a Merchant Thinks the Forestalhng Law
Very snide.
Meeting well known wholesale produce
man yesterday, 9 ReelsrER reporter asked
him how prices in his line were ruling.
"WeH," said he, shat is quite hard
thing to determine, as prices are so unset
tied, but can say that prices for green
stuff are higher at this season than they
ought to be"
swby is thatH -
1.-THE main cause lies in the fact that the
city ordinance in regard to fore Sailing the
market is an unjust one, and instead OF
protecting the consumer it acts Just the re-
verte in many cases. Twill cite
you an instance that will fully demonstrate
that fact to any reasonably minded person.
The wholesale men and jobbers are only
allowed to purchase from hucksters and
farmers on Monday morning until II o'clock,
and from Wednesday at noon until Thurs
day at noon. So you see we only have
day and a half in which to buy from these
sources. Observe the result. A farmer
who has ten barrels of apples is sure he can
not sell them all out at retail in the market,
so be only brings two or three into town,
when, were he allowed to sell to some
dealer in the city he would bring double the
number Of barrels in. Here is where
the consumer gets LETT. Supply
and demand always rule the market. If
the demand is good and the supplies small
prices 90 up, aud vice versa Produce men
are, according to the forestslling law,
allowed to purchase from the farmers and
hucksters only on the days above mention.
ed. If they are out OF apples on Tuesday,
those who may have some on hand shove
up the prices, which remain high until the
supply is increased.
Another point, if the strict letter of the
law is observed, is that we are not allowed
to 90 to the boats that bring produce up
the river and buy anything that is shipped
to this city, for it is supposed to be for the
Wheeling markets, so you will observe that
the law is as Instantaneous for the con.
sumner as it is for the producer and dealer"
Are there any other cases where the law
does an injusticeY
II can relate to you sample. The other
morning a small girl named Ststler, be-
lieve, was arrested for forestalling the market
She has been making few pennies by run
ming little tray in the upper market. Her
crime on this occasion consisted in buying
probably dozen punches of asparagus
from huckster, and was selling them when
arrested. The circumstance caused much
indignation among all the dealers in the
market, and the case was dropped.
Then the scribe absent mindedly picked
up pineapple and walked away ruminst-
ing over how some things are and how some
things ought to be.
