Ing the visit made by us 5 to ], and
that morning, we were advised, was
fair criterion by which we could
Judge of the business transacted In
the magnificent warehouse Of the
Pennsylvania r. R., on the Jersey
side. Some of the few buyers who,
were there, told us, that they came
merely as lockers on, and that we
were prepared to believe when told
that only q few barrels had been
sold in the warehouse Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad that morning.
Returning to the New York side a
singular spectacle was presented to
US, viz: West street blockaded with
trucks used as stands from which
produce brought over the Pennsyl-
vania r. R. was being sold, to the
damage Of the farmers who had rails
ed it from 10 cents to 81 on every
barrel-cartage 10 cents and an add1-
tional sum caused by decrease In val
ne, usually 25 cents, oftentimes more,
due to the delay in getting it on the
market at time when best custo-
mers are served. OF course no one
can believe that produce sold from
trucks can be sold to the same ad-
vantage as if spread out on pier,
or that produce which is sought after
will not bring q better price than it
will when the commission merchant
has to hunt up the buyer, as stated
above. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, as stated above, that rail ship
ments to New York are decreasing,
and our people, if wise, must, we be-
lieve, send their produce by water to
New York.
