(Written Specially for The Bulletin.) My New York pa prints, every onee in a while, a “News of the Mar- kets™ article. Be it noted that the “markets” meant are the retail mar- kets of New Yark of household supp the market re- ports, which are often unintelligible to all but the experts and are based up- on wholesale prices, paid by rs” and “commission men” and “specula- tors” for similar goods in large lots. Tn last week Saturday’'s paper was such a report as I have referred to of the retail prices charged consumers for various articles. Of course these prices were gathered on Friday. Two or three items in the lot were truly interesting and thformative. For instance, “White Leghorn eggs are 40 cents a dosen.” This is what they were selling for Friday, in the up-town markets of New York. day I sold eleven dozen horn eggs” - I haven't but pure white Laeghorns in my little flock.—for 18 cents a dozen, which was the fixed price the buyers brought to the and 20 cents a for waiting on ‘were ing this, wanted aad upon egEs.” coul got _for these last, I am not infesmed. Perhaps 15 cents: perhaps less. Bow many go into customers, being it quality, , over- grown, rank stock parsnips which used raised. They want roots about yard Jong—a good delless. S0 I raise wholly a half-dwarf variety, which produces leas bushels to the acre, but is vastly better for table use; sweeter, tenderer, milder. I know that there are quite a few in a peck. Es- pecially when you put ‘em in the meas- ure in such a way that there is more parsnio than al in the thing: way yow'd like to have them put you were buying, not selling. there were more than twelve, yes, more than twenty-four in that peck 1 sold. Again, the New York city consumer was paying more for waited on than fer the actual sul nce of the goods he wought. You'll say at once, “Well, if this Mr. ;.rmnr knew that His white Leg- horn eggs and his sweet young pars- nips were selMng in New York city for more than twice what they were in Holle d If it cost so little for them there, why didn’t he send them there and get all the meney that was ceming to him " Softly, please. In the firat place, this particular farmer man didn't know what they were retalling fer in New York city that He only knew | ty is highly desirable. what the buyers the New York city markets were offering farmers. And they were offering 13 cents a dozen for eggs and 20 cents a peck for par: , as ['ve sald. In e second place, he doesn't en- RaPuaern = £ fork cfty who want nipe. Bven i " and fresh pars- known what those consumers were paving, hs would not have known the names and addresses of individual consumers. In fact, he doesn’'t know the name of a single New York city consumer who wants this sort of thing at the prices men- tioned as ruling among retailers. Nor has he any means of ding out such people, except by aceldent. And it is no way to do business,—“by accident.” Tn the third place, if he had gone to the city himself, with his few pars- nips and his crate of “white Leghorn eggs” and t, ‘ed to sell them from door to door, he, s a stranger, strangely offering strange eggs, would probably have had his experience and his lunch bill and his eggs all on his hands at the ond of the dav.—with the privilege of paying railroad fare out of his profits in selling something else in some other pla It is not to presumed that all the buyers of “white Leghorn eggs” in New York city are anxious to waste money. Some, doubtless, don't care what they pay so long as they get what they want. Some, doubtless, would think it beneath them to co sider prices. But not all. There are people in New York city who know the value of their own money,—as well as that of the other fellow. There are egg-eaters there who would be glad to save ten cents a dozen on thelr break- fast food. Just as there are farmers here in Podunk Hollow and elsewhere who would be glad to get ten cents a dozen more. I we farmers had a co- eperative selling club or league, to gather up our eggs and other stuff and send it forward with strict guar- antees as to freshness and quality; and If in the city there was a club of consumers to meet our stuff when it was sent to them and distribute it among the members, why, then, you'll observe that we farmers could get ten cents & dozen more than we do now for our esgs, which would be a very gsood thing for us, and the consumers could still get the eggs for ten cents & dozen less than they now pay, which would be just as good a thing for them. But it can’'t all be done from this end. It takes two to make a bar- gain. One man can’t do business with himself,—unless he finds it profitable to wear out his pennies shifting them Borough Officials to Inspect Fire Truck —No More Boarders at Old Pecple’s Home—North Sterling Star Route Discontinued. 2 B Roy Keach, the baseball pitcher, has gone to Buffalo, N.

No More Boarders. A new policy has been adopted at the Old People’'s Home, 'where Miss Matie O'Brien was recently installed as matron. Hereafter the home will be conducted exclusively for old peo- ple, whereas it has previously been from one packet to the other.

Producer and consumer must meet on even ground, limited income available. Easter Musical Programm: and the one must come as far as hi asks the other to g In spite of all that has been justly said about the unwillingness of farm- ers to act together for their mutual profit, the present day fact is that they are taking more interest and showing a better spirit in this matter than city consumers. For thera are co-operative farmers’ assoclations working in the untry, more than we New England “shut-ins” are apt to think. There are veral hundred in successful eperation at this very minute. But where is there a “Consumers’ league” in any city to meet them half way and protect the consumers’ interests, as they are seeking to protect the producers’? There is need of some missionary work in the towns along this line. Further- more, in the nature of things it is from the city consumers that the movement ought to start. It js the buyer who pays the last bill—and all the inter- mediate bille. They all come out of his pocket, eventually. His money in- terest is the largest; his business in- terest ought to be the keenest. His position, moreover, enables him to act more effectively and with better econ- omy. In this matter, as in many others, the qu finalty simmers down to just this: Which does the consumer most want to save, money or trouble? 't save both, as things now are. 't eat his cake and keep it, too. nd women in the cities are too or too lazy, to take trouble to save money for themselves, they are not likely to take trouble to pay the producers better prices! If the zoves mistress prefers to dawdle through the morning and send dewn word by the maid to tell the delivery clerk to tell the grocer to sand her up a dozen white Leghorn egas at 40 cents—if she prefers this to putting on her rubbers and going round the corner to buy bet- ter and fresher eggs at 30 cents, why, she has the privilege—so long as she ] LEGAL NOTICES.

If she wants to save trouble—and durn the expense!—why, there plenty of people to save her the troubl —for a consideration. They'll relieve her of her troubla and her money very willingly. But if she wants to save her money, she's got to take her own trouble herself, and tend to it. Really, 1 think it is about time that city buyers had a little of the responsi- bility for things lifted on their own shoulders. They can save from 10 te G0 per cent. on their present bills for country produce if they care enough about saving it to take some trouble. But one can’t do anything much alone. Nor can we farmers make them do anything at all, unless they choose. ‘We'd be glad to have them. for direct and economical dealing would increase our profits as much as it would lessen their losses.

The final services of the Lenten seagon will be held this Easter Satur- day morning at St. James' church, commencing at 7 o'clock, thus y because of the length of the ritualistic observances that the church has ar- ranged for the day.

BOROUGH DEBT Not so Large as to Cause Uneasiness —Substantial Assets. ‘While there has been much talk re- cently relative to the necessity of the practice of administrative economy in Danielson, which is talk that is de- serving of careful consideration, it is pointed out that a debt of, $50,000, while it may ‘be plenty large, is mot sufficiently se as te cause undue alarm, nor to be particularly discred- itable, for the borough assets amount to three-fifths of that sum, or, to be exact, $29,760. This amount repre- sents the total of the officlal inven- tery of the borough property, includ- ing the central fire station at $16,000, the borough farm at 35,500, the fire alarm system at $2,675, the steamer General Putnam at $3,000, all real and tangible assets. The borough has spent much in the past five years, but it seems to have something to show for it.

Two basketball games were played in Hammond hall Friday afternoon, but not many were attracted to see the sport.

W. Perkins Post Named for First Volunteers. Next Tuesday there will be a cele- bration of the anniversary of the. mustering in to the United States ser- vice of E Company, Second regiment. Connecticut Volunteers, fifty vears ago, and which was the first military organization to leave New London to defend the flag in the civil war. This company was mustered in on the 22d of April, 1861, and mustered out Au- gust 7 of the same year. The com- pany was composed of eighty-one offi- cers and men, and about one-quarter of the number survive, and it is be- lieved that fourteen of these survivors will be in the parade in their homor, naxt Wednesday afternoon. Although the service of the company was short, many of the boys returned home only to enlist in other companies ana serve to the end of the civil strife. The whole city was permeated with patriotism in the dark days of Sixty- one, when the battle for the nation's life begun, and the famous meeting in the old courthouse, when President Lincoln called to arms, was a lesson of patriotism that was instilled into the school pupils of the time. It was then when the boys of this company, and they were but boys, the majority of them still in their teens, who en- listed for three months and with the expectation that the rebellion would be suppressed within that period: that was the service called for by the president, but just as cheerful and patrotic response would have been made if the call had been for three years, as many of these same men did serve for an even longer time. The city will do honor to that pa- triotic occasion and to the brave boys who were willing to risk life for coun try, next Wednesday. There will be a parade of the regulars from the isl- and forte, with band, and the local military companies, and the surviv- members will have prominent po- sition in the procession. Just after the paraade ev-Gov. Thomas M. Waller who was fourth sergeant of the com- pany, will entertain his comrades at dinner in the Thames club. In the evening there will be patriotic ser- vices in the armory. Whi Ri Company E was the first to leave New London to go to the front, it was not the first military company to enter the service of the federal government in the civil war. On February 20, two davs before E company was mustered into the ser- vice, Mayor J. N. Harris, in response to a telegram from Secretary of War Cameron, ordered the New London City Guards to garrison Fort Trum- bull and they did garrison duty there for some time, and until relieved by regular troops, although some of them joined E company. These troops wera paid from the national treasury and were considered as being in the na- tional service, although were mever Tformally mustered into the service, Just at this time it may be of inter- est to give a list of the officers and men of the New London City Guards, which was the local company of the Third regiment, state militia. The officers were Frankau, afterwards Twelfth Connecticut Volunteers; lieutenant, Henry I, Scheliter, in the Thirteenth Connecticut: ond lieutenant, Hanry Feldmar; brevet second lieutenant, Christian Goff, cap- tain Twenty-sixth Connecticut: first sergeant, Henry Stoll, afterwards ma- Jor enty-sixth Connecticut.

Just as soon as the mayor and the street committee are satisfied that the season of snow re, the work ofi laying new granolithic sidewalks wil be commenced and will be carried for. ward to completion with the least pos sible delay and withe as little incon. venience to the public as possible. The paving of this street was completed in the early winter with small sized gran- ite pavingblocks laid in cement on concrete foundation and is conceded to be the best paved street in the city, and with the new walks can lay claim to being a really modern and model thoreugtfare. Just as soon as the work in Bank streat is finished the work of javing granolithic on the south side of State street will be commenced, the north side of the street having re- ceived new sidewalks lasi season.

The gentleman perbaps really meant what he said at that time, but there are no surface ' indications of that promised: activity materializing. Fortunately. New_ London has an experienced and efficient police force, thoroughly com- | patent to enforce all the laws that are reventive of vice, and perhaps notice as heen served on the organized re- formers that the police can, and will, clean up the city without the aid of volunteers.
