We take this method Of informing
you, that at meeting of the recciv-
ers and dealers in berries, held Feb
ruary 14th, in the rooms Of the Phila-
delphia Produce Exchange, the fol
lowing resolutions were adopted, and
ratified by the Produce Exchange on
March LIST, 1898:
1st. That. beginning March 1st, and
in future, we return the standard
crates and Stats to the shippers, but
the small baskets or cups to go with
the sale of the fruit. Any shipper
wishing to use the gift crate can do
so, but the same will not be returned.
ed. That we discourage the unbusi-
ness-like habit Of furnishing crates
free to shippers, as the system tends
to encourage dishonest dealings, and
that shippers of berries, should re-
fuse to accept or use, any such free
crates, but furnish their own pack
ages.
The above resolutions were en-
dorsed By most OF the commission
merchants receiving shipments from
the Eastern Shore and the same is
published at their request for the in.
formation of our farmers.
