MARKETS 
Prices current at New York during week ending 
September 9, 1910, 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 consumers of moderate 
means pay for small quantities of produce bought 
in Fulton, Washington, Jefferson Markets, etc., 
and np-towu grocery stores. “Retail” is rather 
an indefinite word, but in this column it means 
less than barrel or other original 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 grocers and small deal¬ 
ers who receive no direct shipments.
