MONDAY, Dec. 29, 1890.

Country Pr0duce-Jobbing Prices.
Monday was scarcely as blue as was antici-
pated by commission men after holiday trade
and heavy snowstorms in addition. There is
little change in prices. Supply of potatoes is
better than for a week or two past, and prices
are shade lower. Top priceis 81 25 per bushel.
Choice stock is not too plenty. There is a good
demand for apples and fancy stock is firm at
outside quotations Bananas and Florida
oranges are frmer, and give promise of going
higher soon. Prospects are that bananas will
be in short supply by the New Year. Dates are
weak and a shade lower.

Rochester Union.
Every year, after the season of fairs has
ragged in Rochester, convalescents remark
what great saving of time and strength
it would be if the money could be given
directly, without the pains and penalties
of the entertainments. Word comes of a
church in New York which omitted its fair
this year. A subscription paper was carried
around upon which the usual architects of
the fair were invited to put down what they
would give not to have it.
The subscriptions were in cash, and when
they were summed up the amount was found
to be double what was ever netted BY the
fair. So there wasn't any fair in that
church. And vet the subscribers consider
that the arrangement was decidedly advan-
tsgeous to them as a matter of business,
since they computed that every dollar that
fair brings in costs at least three dollars in
time, money or work, fairs being in their
wastefulness fit rivals for McIzinley's own
tariff bill.

Trading Starts OF With a Boom, While
Values Move Up.
There was more life in the stock market yes-
tcrday than for some time before. Orders ap-
poared to be plenty and bidding was brisk As
a consequence values were stronger, nearly
everything the active list improving its
standing. Total sales were $50 shares.
The opinion that bottom prices have been
reached seems to have made such an impression
upon investors that they are flocking in before
things get away from them. This action on
. their part shows conclusvely. that monetary
conditions are improving. Everything points
TO continuation OF tile upward movement; but
at the same time, II should not be forgotten
that appearances are often misleading

Both Sides of the Question.

One of the strongest objections to real
estate Exchange is that by putting brokers on
a footing of equality with the public it destroys
their personality, which is often better than
cash capital and undermineS Office business by
sellers and buyers getting into the habit of re-
lying entirely upon the public mart. The ex-
change or auction system makes it possible for
the curbstone broker to do rs much business
as he who maintains handsome Office and en-
ploys large clerical force. THIS would be dis
advantageous to brokers of established reputa-
tion. Besides. capital and experience being
minor considerations under the exchange or
auction plan, II would inevitably lead to a
large increase in the numbcT OF brokers, which
would be detrimental to the business. True,
this could he regulated TO some extent, but
when men OF good character applied for admis-
sion they would have friends enough to pull
them through. The exchange system has some
advantages however, among them that of
bringing sellers and buyers together and ex-
peditin- business.
This is an important matter, affecting the
leading interest of the city. and now that it is
being talked over again it is we'll enough to
look at it from all sides before coming TO a
decision to break away from the present plan
of doing business.

One of the most notable examples of
the constant and yet almost impercepti-

en- bright stars collectively known as
