>AfARKET.-Therew was II good attend
ance of buyers and sellers at the second
Ward market yesterday morning
There is n great Improvement in the
supply of nccessaries, but prices with a
few exceptions remain about the same,
meats sell at the old figures. Eggs
and vegetables have slightly declined
and it is TO be hoped that other articles
will soon follow. There is no denying
that almost every article of family mar
kcting is selling above its value. It
seems to require n long time to bring
produce down from the late war prices,
to what might be considered n juststan-
dard, under the changed condition OF
things now existing. People must buy
sparingly, if they would secure a re-
duction ofprices, for so long as ready
sales can be made, prices will be main
tanned by those who have control of the
markets. The following was the pre-
vailing rates on yesterday morning:
