Going to Market In Richmond.
Imagine yourself for moment, gentle
reader, the father OF. a family of six health,
and hungry children, and going to market
last Saturday in Richmond, Virginia, in.
stead in New York. You stuff your hal
and all your pockets full of shinplasters oi
various kinds. aud of Confederate promises
to pay, which scarcely any one believes in
and walkon to do the best you can in the
way ofa Sunday dinner.
You have already opened the Richmond
Wing and examined the paragraph headed
domestic Marketing; and it rojolced you
to read that
"The provision markets were abundantly
supplied on Saturday morning with fish,
fesh and vegetables; but the greatest at
traction at present is fish. For three days
past, as sometimes happens in the muta.
tion of affairs, the quantity of finny luxu-
ries has been somewhat lessened, owing to
the high water, but still there is enough
for everybody and little more"
So you set out in good spirits, and,
grateful to Providence for the "finny lux
uries, !" inquire the price of chad.
"Fire dollars per pair" says the fish
dealer, AMI you turn away with pang of
disappointment from what the reporter of
the Wing calls grandly "the monarch
among the fishes at this season." and look
at the more modest sturgeon.
"seventy-fve cents to dollar the
pound" responds the owner.
'And rockfsh2"
"The same.n
%And perch?"
olive dollars per bunch.'
Bot the abundance of fish has low
cred the price of beef-so the Whig assur-
ed you; therefore you determine, perhaps,
to do without fish, and have an extra fne
cut of beef.
"oue dollar and quarter the pound !"
says the butcher, grumbling that he is
losing money at that, and the Wig of the
4th instant assures you that
"The butchers are calm but resoIute,
and say that as soon as the fish season is
over they will put mp theil prices to a
point sufficiently lofty to make up for their
temporary suspension of trade. They now
ask from ST. to 81 26 for the various kinds
of meat
You turn into the vegetable market to
fill up your basket, aud venture to price a
bunch of asparagus.
1.-TWO dollars the bunch" is what you
hear in response.
You want two onions for soup-aud you
pay for them at the rate Of eight onions
for dollar. You think some crisp lettuce
would be toothsome, till you discover that
a mess for your family would cost you at
least dollar and half. You would rel
ish freShzeggs-but they cost dollar aud
quarter dozen, which is about three
cents for an egg.spoonful Of boiled egg.
AT last, in despair, you determine to have
only plain potatoes with your dear roast
andy buy aipeck of very ordinary pota-
toes for four dollars, and return home sat
isfied that the BHy telIstruth when ii says
that "it costs something to go to market
nowadays" iu Richmond.
