The schedule of valuation adopted for use this year has this sea- 

 son, as last spring, except where only a few samples of a class were 

 available for comparison, given valuations which agree fairly well 

 with the average selling price. 



The true relation between valuation and selling price can be as- 

 certained only by taking into account the average freight to points 

 of sale from which samples are taken during the season.
