Quaint Market custom.

There exists at Totnes market a Gus
tom which 10 believed to be without
parallel In the history Of markets. A
dealer chalks up the price he gives for
butter and eggs on q stall, and all the
other dealers pay the same. This sys'
tenn has gone on, and surprisingly little
friction has resulted. Some time ago
an attempt was made to break down
the custom and induce producers to
stand In the market and make the best
price they could. It was, however,
short lived, and the old system was re-
verted to.-St. James Gazette.
