Our MARKET.--One of the crying evils
of the tintes in our city, is n poorly sup
piled market and high and fluctuating
prices OF almost all the necessaries of life.
1t takes men Of families good portion of
their time to run around from grocery to
grocery i'm pursuit of batter, eggs, and
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and after making
the entire circuit of some twenty dealers.
then have toreturn sadly home with empty
plates, and eat their bread without hutter
and go without their boiled egg i'm the
morning. This is eminently an agricul-
tural region, and we cant exactly see any
good reason why the good people OF OF
tumwa should starve, or pay 55 cents a
pound for strong butter, % cents a dozen
for eggs, and $500 dozen for Chickens
What is the matter? Do the runners for
foreign markets catch mp everything be-
fore our dealers can get sight of the far
lners? or do these universally distributed
individuals beat our provision dealers in
buying7 There ia an awful state of facts
existing here in the way of grub to be sure!
What can be done, is the most serious
question OF the times.
