isaac graham agent of the g t b at goodwood passed through hero on friday morning on his way to chicago it is whispered around that he is expected to give evidence in the great cronin trial oub maeket some pacts concerning its useful nessa number op farmers interviewed on the subject- mr jacob b grove of the seventh concession markham was one of those who took an interest in the market project when it was first introduced he has been hopeful of its success from the beginning and has proved it to be such by a very practi cal method viz kcopinjra strict ac count of the amount of produce sold each year at the market also the amount spent at the stores in stouff ville the latter we wish to call parti cular attention showing the advan tages of the market to our merchants and mechanics for as mr grove stated he aid not spend one quarter as much hero previous to the opening of tho market as ho has since during eight months ending 1st sept ho sold 22153 for which he got ready cash and paid out for goods in the village stores during the same period the sum of 6764 mr grovo pojnted out a fact worthy of consideration by many of those who do not attend the market as follows ho said manyarticles sold here readily for cabh we would not have old had it not been for tho market thus it is profitable in main- ways that our experience has proved my advice is to my fellow farmers como to market regularly bring all the marketable things you ecu bring the best quality be satisfied with a reasonable price and you will assist in building up one of the best markets in ontario eespecting the payment of the fees and the management of the market gonorally he said it could not have been in better hands and mr dalej deserved tho thanks of the far mers around about stouffville as well as from tho citizens for his persever ance and business energy in placing the market in such a suitable place and conducting- it so successfully he continued mv opinion is that every farmer should take a yearly member ship ticket not only for the saving- of trouble to himself but to show his appicciation of the stand mr daley has taken and thus encourage any one who makes an effort to establish a useful thing in tho community mr daniel barkoy said that ho found the market a benefit and appre ciated it and was pleased to see it become such a success he had always found it a good place to sell small quantities of fruit such as apples pears plums c if it were not for the market many times such things would go to waste for want of a place to dispose of it when a few dollars was got even though it were in small lots he also expressed himself very mueh in favor of the proposed effort td have a canning factory established in stouff villo believing that such an industry woald be a great advantage both to the farmers and the business men of stouffville mr john g hooyer of the 9th con cession of pickering was a strong advocate of the benefits or the market he had kept account of produce sold and knew that it added to his sales considerably he thought it one of the best things ever started in tho town because when it helped the far mers it helped the merchants and tradesmen his own experience was that nearly all tbey received from sales of produce was spent in stouffville and thought that was the case with the majority who came here he had seen a great many jfarmers regularly at tho market and at tho stores who lived a long distance away and who formerly only came here perhaps two or three times during the year mr hoover added that buyers had often said that it would bo better if much more produce was brought in that would secure the regular attendance of dealers who would buy large quan tities that would be more profitable to handle he was going in for keeping more cows and poultry mr and mr thomas hodgins said they had attended stouffville market regularly from the first opening and were well satisfied with it and knew from their expedience it was a great improvement over the old trading system prices of butter eggs c were better since the market was es tablished than before they thought that the business of stouffville mer chants must bo largely increasing because so many persons of their ac quaintance came hero from a distance and after disposing of their produce went to the stores and paid out the money for goods they wished market
