(Special to " The Horowhenua Chronicle,") For tho convenience of the farming community, "Tho Chronicle" is reprinting from day to d<ay, d.iriug the autumn sei.wn, tho quotation.s of prices current a.s issi.nl by tho Fanners' Distributing Cciupany :— WELLINGTON, April 8. We have, little to add to last week's remarks, the position being about the same with most, line-s. Diseased potatoes, Jire, however, unsaleable, and .should on no account be sent forward at the present time. We have pleasure in announcing that our sales for the half-year ending .')lsi, .March show an inerea.sa of ioOM, :ts compare'] to the .same period last year, <ind the prospects are that, the increase will ho .still greater during tho remainder of tho year. Tho company's financial position is now such as warrants a large extension in trade, and with this end in view we have lately jip|)ointc.;l as travelling representative. Mr W. F. Edwards, who will have hi.s headquarters at Levin, and regularly visit all localities a.s far north as Palmerston. Mr Edwards lias been a successful farmer, and has a full knowledge of tho nHiuireinojit.s , of the producers, a.s well as j)osse.ssing business-like coininercijd methods, and transactions entrusted to lii.s care will receive prouij)t attention. We have this year largely extended our fruit trade, but still have the capacity for a greater incroase, and we hope present suppliers who are satisfied with our efforts on their behalf, will show appreciation by advocating neighbours to ship our way, to the benefit; of themselves, the company, and the general protection of the Industry.
