NO CHEAP GOODS BOUGHT.
James Redpath. of the firm of Dore &
Redpath. said: st Paul as market for
in the United States. Only last week at
the auction in Minneapolis, st. Paul deal
ers bid the highest prices and brought
away goods that could not be disposed
of there. ST. Paul consumers are after
fancy fruit all the time and are willing
to pay the price for it. Cheaper stock
Will go in Minneapolis, but not here. In
the demand for the fancy grades of fruit
st. Paul is superior to Chicago, st. Louis
and Kansas City. The largest shippers
Of California recognize the fact that their
very finest qualities will find a ready
market here and bring good prices, and
consequently they are very ready to ship
here. From now until the beginning Of
October we will be getting from three
to four cars of delicious fruit every day,
most of which will be sold at auction
to the Third street dealers. Whenever
we get poor lot of fruit, regardless of
supply and demand, we have trouble in
getting rid Of it, but with fancy fruit
even on a dull market we never feel any
uneasiness.
This market IS not so excitable as the
Chicago market, for instance. At times
prices there may be % per cent higher
than here, but again within day or two
they viii drop to so per cent lower than
ours. Here prices seem to be more even,
and regulated by steady demand for the
best that can be had. Our retail grocers
are perhaps the most particular in this
entire country. In going to other markets
we find grocers buying goods regardless
Of inspection. Here inspection IS very
close. AS matter Of fact. our retail
groccrs know the value Of good fruit
better than any one else, and don't care
to handle poor class Of goods. We no
tice this mere and more every year. and
for that reason we commission men
must search everywhere for the best, as
we know perfectly well that loss will
follow upon shipment of poor stuff.
