Failing to do so they are thrown back on the hands of the seller and thus subject him to serious inconvenience and great loss. Farmer's are, therefore, respectfully re- quested to use greater care in cleaning, where neces- sary, and in future all street bids will be made with the understanding that the peas will pass No. 2, and all receipts evill be dealt with at the storehouses ac- cordingly. Standard samples are now at hand for comparison. No. 2 Standard admits of a small amount of splits and worm eaten grains, with an occasional seed of other grain, but must be otherwise well cleaned. Standard sample may be seen when desired. Signed,—JAMES LAURIE, JAS. BEATVE, T. 0. HEMP. 1306 Tuckersmith Municipal Elections Live Stock Markets.
