PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS. 
. New Tore. Saturday. Doc. .10, 1876. 
Produce and Provisions.—T he wholesale trade 
of the pust week lias been unimportant, and, in many 
lines of produce, the market has boon vary quiet. 
Holiday purses arc slender this winter, ntid. vritli 
the extra wants of the specie period, market-men 
and other deulers in family supplies say that they 
lind a marked falling otf in their Buies to consumers. 
Grocers, tit this time, h ivo to make up more miscel¬ 
laneous loads than usual,audit good many coarse 
items are neglected. Wholesale deulers do not aim 
for large business at Che close of the year, as they 
prefer a lull so as to straighten up accounts. 
Hints to Shipper*,—P ack produce as tirrulyua 
its nature allows; otherwise many Items sutler In 
appearance, tr riot In quality, through tue Jostling 
Incident to transportation. Do nut mark packages 
with any material that will smudge. A good paint 
for marking purposes cun be made, of bichromate of 
potash and extract of logwood, Nailed card# ant 
very Insecure. For long lines of goods u marking 
plate or brand Is preftyablc toordlriurv lettering. At 
the time of shipment put a completo list of the lot 
into one of the package* It It can be done; but tie 
sure to mall to consignee a full list, naming date, 
style of packages ami contents. Aim to bare each 
parcel ol uniform quality an fur us possible; mixing 
always Injures i.ilc. ltoll butter should be wrapped 
in clean vrhltri muslin. Dressed poultry should be 
packed In well shaken dry straw When poultry 
sweats in boxes straw-dust gives o mean look. Break 
olf-inill points from the inside of old barrels when 
they are used in urdnr bo prevent property from tear, 
mg. Short cut dry straw is better fur packing eggs 
than anything else. Try und avoid the arrival heru 
of summer Items on Saturday. 
Bkanh and Peas.— Beans are In light stock In few 
hands, and the standards are tanro l.irgt-lr wanted 
This, of coiir.e, indicates sttong prices- Medium*, 
have advanced und marrows are llrm at the lure Im¬ 
provement. Fancy beans, including pea and kidney, .

Butter -Receipts of State are smaller, but the 
stock in store show* the accumulation Consequent | 
upon a largo crop anil dull trade. The outlook for 
the bulk of medium or under stock is no better, und 
our former remarks will still apply. Fall dallies 
easier. Western butter continues to find favor with 
both lie*! and ordinary buyers, and while rollers 
keep li so much below .-suite, they Will he apt to rule 
the little trade due from tills to thenaddle of Jun 
uury. We might remark that It doe* not pay to mnko 
old butter Into rolls ; the Render him his extra labor 
for nothing. ••••

Domestic oranges are dull. Some of the lots are hit¬ 
ler, und when a buyer gets hold of a few such pack¬ 
ages, U hurts further sales. Dudy apples ure dull, 
the holiday demand has subsided and tbt> best lots 
have gone into the hands of retailers or Tor festival 
purposes; hence the low range. Catawba grapes

Dry pick the Poultry, us It will keep longer, hold 
It* color better und command better prices late in the 
season; the head should tn> left on, und the manner 
of packing much the same as in the general direc¬ 
tions, except no straw or packing of any kind should 
be used. Boxes uf the following dimensions are 
preferable—say 4 feet long by 2 feet wide and 15 
Inches deep (outside tn -asm re meet). Use new inch 
lumber well scuiuneil, suiooituy planed for the inside 
of the package; tbev will puck two layers of tui 
or three of fowl. Larger alia packages are incon¬ 
venient to handle and do not meet ms reudv u Mile; 
place them la the open. air. and pack a layer of 
poultry in u» many boxes as will be required to make 
one layer for each day’s work; when froxeii suffi¬ 
ciently the second layer may lie packed in like mun- 
ner; n lieu full the covers should be pluced 011 und 
snugly nailed, and the boxes placed together and 
well covered wltn straw-say two or three feet in 
depth, or should the weather moisten and thaw 
when the boxes are hut pmtly ifllh-il they should he 
protected lu the same way. In this manner the 
Poultry can he held and forwarded with entire 
safety.
