Excerpt from Organised Produce Markets This volume, based on lectures delivered in the Faculty of Commerce of the University of Birmingham, is intended primarily for the use of students. The interest, however, of its subject matter to business men and others, and the lack of a recent work for English readers on the aspects of marketing herein treated, suggest that it is likely to appeal to a wider audience than that of the University classroom. Therefore, references to conceptions likely to be familiar only to students of economic theory have been omitted as far as possible; but it is not to be inferred from this that the book is entirely descriptive. Discussion has not been avoided when it seemed likely to lead to useful generalisations or suggestive conclusions.
