Sir,—Yonr iseue of io~day onn tains teleg'am from Ma-'Ts Mori'z*on nnd Hopbin t> M' Wm. Wiii-ht. offering '4d f.o.b. Akaroa' for his seed with lattar's acceptance. The fi f m Bie admittedly comuii*aion agenta, bo we woald ask wbother if i» no! understood that tbe price is subject to 2£ per osnt deduction (it* we know to have been understood by otbor recipient* of eimihr telegrams fiom same firm) or tht»> psrt T.lue will be tak*u out in stores? Might it be i»uggett j d thst closo of telegram. "Splendid prioe ; sp«d wff colour and wild tares ; reply sh-irp.'' is a little dark ? It would be dangerous to attempt interpret uion ; but it seems di.-tiootly ancotnplimntary o eiiber to the uuythioal buy«r i i the background or to the seed.
We draw ft'frmtion to ibia offer recognising thi.t Meesrs Moritz on and Hopkin and Mr Wright are actuut-d so'ely by a det-irt> to enlighten farmer* »« to bow Heed is going ; and because we ford sure none woulri regret more thun th t A confiding public should credit them wit'i higher prions than aitiiHlly pain. Agt»in, we are anxious to iminuin the high esteem in which your columns have ever been held by «H interet-t-'d i i the cocks-, foot market. — Youth faM.fully.
