He made a . startling discovery inthis wise: Par. Chasing a “thirty pound. box” of . suar, he weighed it-and found that . j it weighed only 23!4° pounds. ‘Laking the sugar from the box,he found . that the box itsélf weighed 7 pounds. . ‘bhie résult artived at then was, that! ie had paid for 30 pounds of sugar and only received 2214 pounds, ‘Fhis . accounts, no doubt, tor the fact that . sugar can be purehased at retail for . the same price as at wholesale. ‘This ; tceertainty— a swindle, and dealers whownduige in the practice should) . be punished Tor doing so.

There isan unlimited market for dried fruits.~ San Francisco” dealers are often crowded with orders from Montana, Utuh, Nevada und other distant markets, which they are unable to~ fill; During the middle of the fruit seison the San Francisco market overstocked with green fruit from all parts of the State, and the pricesfalls below. the cost of picking, packing, boxing and freight.

Nevada has been accustomed to having street gas lamps, and now to be—deprived of them, feels the deprivation sorely, Here, in Grass Valley, we néver have indulged in the luxury of lighted streets, if we except'the lights placed in freut of the two engine houses, but. we have m maged to get alony after a fashion, and with but little grumbling from citizens. But that the town should be lighted is nevertheless true, und we wonder ‘That efforts have not been made to -procure some lights upon the princi~“pal thoroughfares: of: the town. Some six or eight lamps properly placed would add very much to the comfort of the people as well as giving a cheerful appearance to the streets upon dark-nights; -Qur citiZens are well taxed to maiutain a town government, and yet are deprived of this great convenience, We do not know what abatement the 848 company would make to the town upon their regular prices, but doubtless it wonld be a liberal’ one.

The dealershereabouts huve been‘ in a ‘quandary . to know how sugars could be sold at such> a Jow figure, when they are compeHed to pay one t or two cents more than—th.t priteto avholesale dealers.” The impression wus that those retail—dealers-at the.

How a Dishonest Dealer Manages . to Sell at Retail for ‘‘Less Than) Wholesaie Prices,” One of tle subscribers: to the Chronicle, whois of-an Inquiritig turn of mind-and the-head of a large family, has often’ wondered how the retail grocery stores could sell white . and yellow retined sugar at thes . price tk { { ame tat wholesale establishuvents dispose of-their stock. He made a . startling discovery inthis wise: Par. Chasing a “thirty pound. box” of . suar, he weighed it-and found that . j it weighed only 23!4° pounds. ‘Laking the sugar from the box,he found . that the box itsélf weighed 7 pounds. . ‘bhie résult artived at then was, that! ie had paid for 30 pounds of sugar and only received 2214 pounds, ‘Fhis . accounts, no doubt, tor the fact that . sugar can be purehased at retail for . the same price as at wholesale. ‘This ; tceertainty— a swindle, and dealers whownduige in the practice should) . be punished Tor doing so. After readme the above, customers . héereabouts will be satisfied that they . Cheap as the consumers at yy . a Lhose who think. they have Tr buying sugar at ten cents per pound . there, have been actually paying thirteen and a half cents, When the cost of freight is added, consumersare buying sugars as, cheap in this city as it can be bought any-. where else in-the State. = i i i { . } i . i n Drying Fruit. following in reference to fruit drying: Parties in this city nes hese fipuring lately on establishis ga fruit drying establishment under the Alden patent. ‘There is a big field here for such an undertaking, and we hope that it willbe accomplished.
