ct was kept normal and she subscribers to
the Exchange reaped she Benefits Of best

To have an Exchange, the speaker said,
there must be willingness on the part of
those interested to subscribe to necessary
expenses and abide by set of regularly
adopted bylaws and rules When he be-
gan work as manager of the Eastern Shore
Produce Exchange he had but about Sc, 900
to work with The Exchange today has a
capital stock of $4,000, with a surplus Of
$50 000 The stock had par value of $5
per share but it has advanced to $12 per
per share. A charge Of bnt per cent COM
mission is all that is charged subscribers for
marketing produce and this has been ample
TO cover all expenses and lay up substan-
tial surplus.
The Virginia Exchange has one main Off
ce with SO subdivisions and 40 shipping
points, all connected by telephone. and 2, 900
subscribers There is presdent,vice pres
idens secretary and treasurer and board
of SO directors, one of which is elected from
each subdivision There is also she mana
ger, shipping agents and inspectors. Is is
the duty Of the inspector at each shipping
point 80 see to grade the produce and mark
it accordingly, one x, two X'sor three KS
At first, it was admitted. there was some
trouble with the farmers over the inspection
but this soon adjusted itself. Those rejec-
ted by the inspector were not given the Ex-
change grade mark but were shipped by the
Exchange, if desired, as a lower grade The
farmer sometimes feels uneasy over the in
spection of his stock but after all he knows
that the buyer, wherever located, inspects
his produce before he buys it and pays ac-
accordingly. After getting she brands es-
tablished much better prices are obtained.
Mr.. Burton said that be had list of 600
80 1000 customers TO whom bis Exchange
shipped produce and be would forward the
full list to the Monn,outhl County Farmers

A rising vote Of thanks was called for and
heartily given Mr. Burton for bis very able
talk and it was explained by member of
the Monmouth County Exchange that Mr.
Burton had come from his home in Virginia
without pay to give the farmers the benefit
OF his experience

Here is simple, interesting and sin

40, who braved the dangers and hard
ships of the overland trail to Califor-
mia. Surely the sincerity of this letter
should strongly appeal to those who
desire to escape the bondage in which
they are now held by that ruthless
and most powerful wrecker of health
land happiness: Catarrh.

PULLIAM Is AGAIN
AT HEAD OF LEAGUE
No Opposition Develops at New York
Mceting-Minors Out in Force for
Their Confab,

New York, Dec. 9.-Harry Clay Pull
liam was unanimously reelected presi-
dent of the National league at the an
Hual meeting of that organization yes
terday afternoon at the Waldorf-As-
toria. John Heydler was reelected to
the secretaryship. This, with the usual
routine business, including the adOp-
ton of various committee reports, oc-
cupied the time of the league through
out the afternoon, and shortly before 6
o'clock a recess was taken until
o'clock this afternoon
The first session of the National
league continued the serenity which
has marked the big baseball gathering
from the start. The fact that Presi-
dent Pulliam was reelected unani-
mously was undoubtedly due to the alb.
sence of representation by the New
York Giants, who have ever been at
swords point with the executive.
The American league magnates were
all on hand for the meeting of the
younger major league which opened at

receipts were $S4,236,5S6 in excess of
The disbursements. For the fiscal year
1908 the disbursements were $5S, 500,
gel in excess of the receipts, due to
business depression and increased ap-
preparations. Fortunately, the report
says, the available cash balance at the
beginning of the fiscal year was $272,-

of $259,994,271 was attained, after
which it was decreased to $256,920,-
154 by the close of the month.

amount to $11S,379.53G, on Nov. 16
1908. At the beginning of the present
fiscal year there was a freer circula
ton of money and large amounts We're
returned to the financial centers and
some of the depositaries voluntarily
returned TO the treasury a part of their
holdings of public deposits, amounting
in all to approximately S4,000O0O A
further withdrawal of public money
from depository banks in New Yorl
city, made in January, amounted tC
SS,S50,000, making the balance in the
banks to the credit of the genera
fund at the end of January, $226,241,
