Markdiile is justly noted thronghout the conn try as a reliable and good unarket. One of the main reasons which may be attributed to this de- sirable state of affairs in the fact ol the buyersbeing part.and parcel of our town. The interest of the place is identical with that of our buyers consequently their reputation of grain dealers is constantly at stake. Then they are always at their post, notlike transient dealers who remain a month or a season in a place, havins: no interest to serve ^further than present and perBonal gain. The natural advantages of the town have also something to do with its success and reputation aa a market centre, being located in the midst of an agricultural country and the rail \fj facilities being both efficient ana convenient, yet, after making due allowance for the various favorable circumstances which the place affords for a ^market, the mainspring is in the stability, enterprise and integrity of cur buvers, McFarland and Hill.
