COMMERCIAL PICKINGS.
The following letter appears in to-day's "Weekly Frees;"—] Sm,-~-In your last issue you quoted an article from the " Q-lobe" headed Commercial Pickings. The subject is one which deserves serious consideration at the hands of the grain growers of Canterbury. The eagerness displayed by the representatives of a certain institution to monopolise the entire trade of the district has been a matter of wonder to many, especially when the charges were taken into consideration. Those charges are 90 low that we might suppose that it was from pure love of the farmers, that all this anxiety was shown to transact their business. But if the statements made by the " Grlobe" are true, the explanation is not far to seek. The profits of tins concern are made, not from legitimate charges, but from pickings of various kinds', the existence of which is altogether unknown to the majority of its clients. The questions is, have those commissions and allowances been " legally" retained, and, if not, what steps should be taken by those who have suffered the loss to recover their own money. I hope you, or some of you*- readers, will help to enlighten me on the point. Yours, &c, Ex Fakmeb.
