B. Forsythe Sells Onions Tor $1.26 a Bushel.

B. Forsythe is shipping a car load of onions today. He has sold al that he had left, getting $2.25 per hundred'pounds, which is $1.26 a bushel and he has until Feb. 15th to make delivery. The moderate weather has been against the onion market, Mr.JPorsythe reports, as the, consumption is only about a quarter as great in warm weather as it is in cold weather in the city of Chicago. Mr. Forsythe feels convinced that the price would have gone to $2 or better if a reasonably cold winter had made its appearance.
