Elsewhere in'tli_is"-i§sue..\\vill be found the secre-

tary’s report of a meeting of the Directors of the Cen-

tral Farmers’ Institutc held in the City yesterday. 'flip report is worthy of the attention of farmers and of inercliants alike- It mildly voices a grievance, will or imaginary, a disrepancy between the prices paid in this 'province for farin produce, especially potatoes, and those paid elsewhere. In conversation after the meeting with the Secretary, Mr. McLaren, we learn that quotations for potatoes in Montreal and Toronto showed that while potatoes were selling in Prince Fdward Island at forty cents per bushel, they were selling in those cities at $1.70 to $2-oo per bag Of 9° pounds, equal to about $1.13 per bushel. The freighti per bushel to Montreal and Toronto was said at the meeting to be about 30 cents per bushel- We have been unable to verify this since the receipt of the re- port. lf correct, the margin between the price paid here and that received by the dealers in Toronto and Moiitreal is too large. liither the farmers here do not receive enough for their potatoes, they do not raise the kind of potatoes that bring $1.70 and $2-oo pei bag, or the man in Montreal or Toronto receives too much for them-or, possibly, the quotations given arc incorrect.

The point we wish to make in this connection is

that there is evidently a mispnderstanding between the farmers and the merchants on this score. The farmers have the impression that they are not receiv- ing their just proportion of the ultimate price, and if the prices quoted above are correct there is ground
