CENTRE MARKET opened this morning with an
ample supply of provisions in every department;
and very large attendance Of dealers and Dur.
chasers-consequently brisk demand and O uick
sales The prices generally were as quoted in
the Star Of Saturday last. The regulations, so
far as relate to order were strictly observed and
few complaints were heard. very dangerous
practice, which we have frequently called atten-
ton to, Is still the cause Of accidents viz: the
Pra PRAGUE ot throwing melon rinds in the gang
ways. This morning venerable lady was
thrown upon her face by stepping upon one of
those dangerous traps. Fortunately she was not
seriously injured. Those occurrences are very
oHlIylng 10 the sufferers at the least, and some
times they do injury that results In ma king GRIN
pies for life. III the officers cannot prevent this
practice, 1t would be well for dealers to protect
their customers from harm by aiding the officers
ana furnishing every one guilty Of violating the
market regulations in this way The enforcing
OF the law In such cases would soon break al the
dangerous practice.
