OUR MARKET.
There il no city in the East that can compare
with San Francisco in the excellence of its market
IL 10 true, we have not as yet, like them, one build
ing exclusively devoted 10 this purpose, bat still.
there are muluiudes Of private stalls where every
variety OF de!cacy one can conceive OF may be had
Game of all sorts Is abundant The mouths Of the
gourmands abroad won.1 fairly water at the
magnificent array that our streets present of deer
tks duck bear, geese, ducks, curlew snipe, SPUR
rels, hares and quails Fish of every kind and
delicious flavor, are daily brought 10 our market
There Is company, with every appliance on the
most complete scale, that is engaged in fishing IN
our superb bay, and in the Pacific outside the
Golden Gates. Their fish are brought in every day,
alive, so that no one need abstain from this deli
cacy tor fear of its being stale.
Huge turtles, too, can be in our restaurants,
and even that exquisite of all dishes the
oyster. II is small, il IS true, but cultivation will
improve Il as IN the East, and we hope to see the
day when shell fish may be found IN our city,
large, as la, and as luscious as those we have
signed al home.
There is no lack Of the more common and sub
stsntial meats among Beef as fine as eye ever
rested on, is for sale in all parts Of the city. Nut
