A single-sheet weekly price current issued by Josiah Carpenter, a New York commission merchant at 82 Jay Street, for farmers, dairymen and country merchants shipping produce to the city. It explains how to ship and mark packages, how advances and returns are handled, and the commission charged. Price tables list agricultural goods and commodities such as butter, cheese, flour, grain, hay, hides, wool, feathers and tobacco, but the figures are too faded to read reliably.
