One house receives a whole car-load and sells it out at as good rates as possible to other houses, acting in that case as a jobber. Before the whole car-load is sold he has ordered by telegraph another car-load from Chicago, where the market is very low at the time. He orders them on commission. He is informed by telegraph as soon as his car is start-en, and perhaps before it has started from the point at which it was loaded in the country. He has time, if he deems it necessary, to sell a fair portion of the car-load and order his car from Chicago before the one coming to him from the country, and have it arrive the day after. Now he has got the bulge on the market, and as his Chicago goods cost him less than he has sold at, he can undersell those that he sold to and still get his ten per cent. from the grower. Neither is that all. When he makes his returns to his country grower, he can make them the basis of the sales made on a market he has himself broken down, and get his ten per cent.

Besides that he makes as clear profit the difference at which- he sold his car and the market price, after he has broken it. - Fruit Grothers' Journal.
