MARKETS 
Prices current at New York during week ending 
October !, 1909, wholesale except where other¬ 
wise Indicated. The retail prices given do not. as 
a rule, cover either the highest or lowest sales, but 
show what the bulk of cousnmers of moderate 
means pay for small quantities of produce bought 
in Fulton, Washington,. Jefferson Markets, etc., 
and up-town grocery stores. "Retail" is rather 
an indefinite word, but in this column It means 
less than barrel or ottier origins I package lots of 
fruits and vegetables, less than tubs of butter, 
cases of eggs. etc. The trade of commission mer¬ 
chants is strictly wholesale. The retail prices 
given are those secured by groeers and small deal¬

Right in Tax Lots. 
I bought three tax lots adjoining my 
property, or to be more accurate, paid 
$60 back tax and got a 1000-year lease from 
town for same. I moved a bungalow on 
to lots, but a man representing the owner 
appeared shortly afterward and assumed 
the attitude that my title was of little ac¬ 
count ,aiul wanted $400 for deed to lots. 
I considered them worth $50 each. I wish 
to improve the bungalow. Do you con¬ 
sider my title clear enough to warrant it? 
May be not have given a mortgage on the 
lots after finding I had taken up the tax 
lease, which would hold ahead of my 
lease? My lease is not recorded. 
New York. u. s. w. 
Your tax deeds give you certain rights 
in the premises. If you continue to pay 
taxes and hold the property long enough 
your title will become absolute. The 
owner can demand that you deed him your 
rights in the lots by paying you all that 
you have paid out for the title. Including 
interest and costs. Your title should he 
of record so as to he notice to the world 
of your claim. If (he owner will not set¬ 
tle fairly you should keep possession. Bear 
in mind that the courts look with disfavor 
on tax deeds .and often set them aside, 
so if you can adjust this matter you will 
do wisely.

Mare Auction

A Carnival of Values - - - A Day of Enthusiasm 
It is, we believe, with reasonable 
pride we announce our fall auction of 
imported mares. .Our former auctions, 
mark the most stirring periods of buy¬ 
ing in the horse world, both in the 
character of stock displayed and in 
the remarkable values that prevailed. 
It is not our policy to be satisfied 
with past achievements, so 
OUR FORMER SALES MUST BE ECLIPSED. 
We have been preparing for this event 
for some time. Our buyers—members 
of the firm—have visited every breeder 
of note in Europe and unusual success 
has attended their efforts. Never be¬ 
fore has such an excellent lot of mares 
been collected in one barn. 
Included are Prize Winners of the 
European Shows—Nogent le Rotreau, 
Paris, Brussels, etc., also Prize Win¬ 
ning and Championship Mares of 
various American State Fairs. We 
have the mare with the quality—the 
prices are your own. 
COME PREPARED TO SAVE AS NEVER BEFORE. 
Our barns are in the city limits. 
Railroads—Erie, Wabash, C. B. & C.; -
