TEXT	Few gentlemen have had as lengthy a connection with West Washington Market as Mr. Cox. He came into the market some thirty-one years ago, and has ever since been engaged in the wholesale produce trade. His recollections of the early market are most interesting. In those days it was of a small size and prices of produce were then remarkably low - in fact, to quote a few will be the best illustration of values in those days. In the line of potatoes he had bought them as low as three shillings per barrel, while from six shillings to one dollar was considered a pretty high price to pay. In those days he bought a first-class market stand for one hundred dollars, and paid but four aol.lars per month rent therefor. Things have changed since then, but the trade has grown in proportion, und Mr. Cox has built up a large and permanent wholesale patronage in all kinds of country produce. He is a heavy commission receiver of potatoes, etc., from Maine, and up the rives, and for eighteen years was a well known buyer all through the north part of New York State, making Troy his centre. Mr. Cox is a. genial and popular dealer, and deservedly bears the highest of reputations as a talented businessman and an upright private citizen.
