EARLY CLOSING OF THE MARKETS

TO THE EDITOR OF

LIVERPOOL STANI

Sin,—Adverse as I have ever been from coming before
the public, still I cannot refrain from expressing my senti-
ments respecting the premature closing of our markets.
Having been located here during the last seventeen years,
opposite St. James's market, I am able to speak to the
working of the new arrangement; my experience of sucla
compels me to say that I entirely disapprove of an,
curtailment of the market hours—not that the loss
is so serious to the shops in the vicinity, as was an.
ticipated, but to the butchers and hucksters, 1 fee'
persuaded, the alteration has proved most ruinous—the
one hour inquisitorially lopped off from their regular time,
having taken their customers by surprise—has resulted in
great loss; nothing less than a uniform time of closing
for both shops and markets will answer. No one of com-
mon sense, or proper feeling, but must regret to see
articles of food spoiling.—l am Sir, yours,
A TRADESMAN.
