Among the Marketmen. 
WHAT / SEE AND HEAR. 
High-Priced Apples.— “ What are 
some of the highest prices for which you. 
have sold apples recently ?” I asked one 
commission merchant. “ We have sold 
some fancy Greenings for as high as $8 
per barrel,” he said, “ But I have not 
seen any market quotations for as high 
prices as that. Why should not they be 
so quoted if they are selling for that 
price ?” “ Because they were very fancy 
fruit, put up by men who know how to 
grow and pack such fruit, and the num¬ 
ber of these is limited. It would be 
misleading to quote prices for such fruit 
as this, as the general market price, be¬ 
cause very limited quantities are sold 
for such high prices.” 
t X X 
Shortage of Farm Products.— 
Many of the stores in the commission 
districts have presented a rather barren 
appearance during the past week. The 
extreme cold, of course, has destroyed 
many of the southern vegetables, and 
about the only receipts of these are 
from extreme southern points. Then 
the long-continued cold has interfered 
with the shipments of perishable goods 
in the North, and while there has not 
been any great shortage, the receipts 
have not been large enough to make any 
accumulation, so that the stores are 
pretty well cleaned out. One favorable 
thing about this is that it makes sales 
more prompt, which is better all around, 
and the situation is more favorable to 
all concerned than a surplus would be. 
X t X 
Red Bananas.—A few weeks ago, I 
told about the absence of these from our 
markets in recent years. Last week, a 
few bunches reached here from San 
Dom'ngo, and created quite a sensation 
in tbe fruit trade Tney sold for $7 or 
$8 a bunch, several times the price of 
yel'.ow bananas. These came with a 
shipment of yellow ones, the first from 
a new fruit district opened up by men 
exiled from Cuba a couple of years ago. 
The quality of this fruit was said by the 
dealers to be very fine. Some dealers 
say that the red banana is more tender 
t han the yellow, and is more easily in¬ 
jured in handling. Some people prefer

A Rare Chance able Investment. 
For sale a farm of 3?0 acres of land in first-class condition; new buildings; newly fenced with post and 
rail fence, situated within six miles of the line of the District of Columbia, and within 10 miles of the 
center of Washington, D. C. The reason for offering this property at a very low figure is that the Lady who 
owns It has never had any experience in farming, and her husband died very suddenly something more 
than one year ago. Before his death no reasonable offer would have been entertained; - in fact the property 
was not for sale at any price. He had just got it up to an Ideal farm. The farm is well situated for fancy 
stock raising, feeding stock for market, general farming, dairy or stock-raising purposes. Is well watered, 
has a commodious new house of 12 rooms, with baths, closets, and gas and steam throughout. Telephone 
connection with Washington, private wire considerable of the way. Dairyhouse, with icehouse and grist 
mill room in connection; horse barn for 12 head of horses; stabling for 75 head of cattle, and shed room 
lor 50 more. One barn and two hay barns, granary, henhouses and hoghouse. Orchard of young plum trees, 
two apple orchards, a quantity of young choice cherry trees, vineyard, flower gardens, etc. Location as 
healthful as anywhere on the earth. Water the very best; good roads. Beside fields for grazing and for small 
grain, there was cut ana secured 250 tons of excellent hay, and 3,345 bushels ear corn raised on the farm in 
1898. Beside t he other advantages, the owner has a standing offer of 80 cents per gallon (delivered in Wash¬ 
ington) for all the cream that can be made on the farm. Without doubt this is one chance in a thousaud 
for a gentleman or more than one who wish to arrange for large dividends on a secure investment. Can 
give an unquestioned title. It would cost but little to investigate this matter and satisfy any one who has 
money to invest that this is truly a rare chance. Address
