goods markets of 1891, says - via .s'g Il

~, The Grocer, in its review OF the canned
goods markets of 1891, says 49, gj0 SIC
Stocks in the West in first hands are light.
Hartford county, Nd, has placed nearly all
its pack, Virginia is carrying light supply.
New jersey has fair holding. 1t has cost
packers more to put up their goods this year
than in 1890, and yet prices have ruled on
parity with those Of last year. The independ-
Z nt packer is the one who puts up high
grade of goods, and enjoys reputation for
his brand, and of such character that his
product is in demand at his own price, The
number of such are few, but they are the sue
cessful packers, not only in the line oftoma-
toes, but all other canned goods. ,Judicious
advertising keeps the trade acquainted with
brands Retailers soon learn which goods
give entire satisfaction year after year. They
and their customers would much rather pay
higher price and have goods free from the
slightest suspicion that they are not of the
very best, "a az ga5Gi5aa siii j1s. oj .
al Undoubtedly this is due 10 the financial
weakness of many of the Gamers, forcing
them to crowd the market. This year the
jobbers have been ultra conservative, having
realized that stringent money market such
as characterized the fall Of 1890 on account
of the financial troubles in England, makes
it difficult sailing during periods when there
Is no market even for the very best class OF
commercial paper This year they determin-
ed to let the packers carry the stock and as
sumo the bulk OF the risks. The result has
been low and steady market, and on q basis
which forbids packers realizing much, If any
profit for the seasons work. -,

APPOINTMENT OF SCHOOL CoMMIssIoNERs.-
Judges Fowler, Waters and Burke have filed
with Clerk Forwood their appointment OF
Messrs. John A.. Russell, of Havre de Craze
VIM. II. Harlan. of Bel Air, and DIR. Martin, L..
Jarrett, of Jarrettsville, as School Commission
era for the ensuing two years. Messrs. Harlan
and Jarrett are to succeed Messrs. John G.,
Rouse and W. Il. H. Whiteford. aj b..
Judge Waters, in behalf of the Court, before
making the change, addressed 8 complimentary
| letter to the retiring Commissioners, in which
he says that the condition of the pnblic schools
is excellent aud that the considerations devotion
to duty which he had observed in the present
board is appreciated BY the public generally. n
Judge Walters, however. says that changes
| ought to occur at reasonable intervals in order
to keep the board as closely as possible in touch
with popular opinion, with public interests
and the interests Of school patrons. Changes,
he thinks, are essential in order that no portion
of the county may feel itself overlooked or neg
| lected. q ft|241 -.fI..' -, > ~
Another, reason, Judge Waters says, why
| some changes ought to be made at reasonable
| intervals is that the members Of the School
Board are personal friends of the Judges ap-
pointing them and if changes were made only
for inefiiciency or neglect Of duty. the making
of changes might become painful duty to the
Judges and one they might even neglect.
Judge Waters concludes his letter to Messrs.
Whneford and Rouse as foilows:0 1a-'
The members of the present board have held
their office, think, from four to twelve years.
In making the changes which l. am now cons
| templating it gives me, great pleasure to be-
| lieve that there is no one in the county who
| will suppose for one moment that / have any
reason for making them other than the follow
ing out of policy which have long since
| adopted. Allow me, in the name of the entire
| Court, to thank you for the satisfaction it has
| afforded us to know that the efficiency of the
present board is universally recognized through
out the county. g... ..-. -',s.7 I.r.
