had fed flock of sheep for some months, and
tried every means to wholesale them, at reasona-
BILE price, but no one wanted to buy,as they were
"all full"
He made arrangement to retail them at the
''curb store" Market, but was informed he would
be fined If he did SO. They were fat, and he had
to keep them on at loss, when If IL had not been

The Market House Question.
MEssRs. EDIroRs THE question Of city mar
kets has yexed many brains before those Of the
COMMERCIAL and its correspondents, and yet
they remain In about The same position That they
have occupied for half century back. That
there are grave objections to their present ar
rangement, few will deny, and yet there must be
benefits which counterbalance them or they
would have been changed. Our city has not been
nlggard In anything that is Of vital Importance
to Its welfare. Our water works are an honor to
us. as corporation. Our public schools bear
testimony to the public spirit of our rulers. Had
there been no advantage to us In the simple curb
stone market over the more comfortable market
house, 1t would have long before this have been
superseded. Let us look deeper for the reason.
Why can our ship-builders construct cheaper as
well as better vessels than can those of our great
cities? Enquire, and you will be told that lnbor
Is cheaper here than there that men prefer TO
work here for less wages than they can command
In Philadelphia or New York, because they can
live cheaper here-articles Of food are to be had
at SO much less that they can afford to take less
per week, and yet live better. But these cities
have immense and expensive market houses,
while we have only 'scurb stone markets." Again
ON estimabe gentleman removes to our city and
opens produce commission store but he does
not succeed-he is Obliged to remove to our
neighboring city of " Brotherly Love-" Why ?
Because, as he informed the writer, these sc curb
| stone markets" reduced tho prices Of produce So
| low that he could not sell here, but was obIgud
to take his consignments TO Philadelphia for sale.
| What then is the reason?
In simple, and inexpensive way, we bring
the producer and consumer together; we save to
each party their share Of the commission 1 the
middlcman, or produce dealer, and while the
farmer gets fair prices for his produce, with few
expenses, the consumer makes his purchases
cheaper than he wonld otherwise do. Again, 0
farmer who comes but once in fortnight Is nc.
duce, while he could not afford to hire stall in 0
market house, but must sell out TO the produo,
dealer. Depend upon II, the more facilities you
hold out to the producer to bring his marketing
here rather than to our larger Cities the better II
will be for Wilmington; for few dollars thu:
saved on the price of labor, will bring muc'
work to us that would otherwise be taken by oul
great competitors, Philadelphia and New York
Is the new market house project then t. b'
Abandoned Not by any means. Give us all th'
facilities you can for supplying the people will
food build the market houses, and rent them, i
possible, at low rates to those who regulaily at
tend market, but continue and foster the curb
s'sne market, also, which accommodates SO man,
producers who only come occasionally to vii
mington, and yet who in the aggregate bring !
larger amount of produce. Keep down the prices
and buy largely In return from the merchants o

FRUiT GRowER's AssocIATIoN.-As will be seen
in another column, the meeting of this Associa-
tion. which was to be held on Tuesday, has been
postponed one week. We understand the reason
of this is found in the fact that tho Executive
Committee have been unable to obtain confer
cnce with the railroad officers and this has ari-
sen not from any indispostion on their part to
meet the committee but on account of the sick
ness Of one or two of the principal officers. We
further understand that the proposed conference
is to be held next Wednesday, the 18th inst, when
it is to hoped, fair and acceptable proposition
will be made by the representatives of the various
lines-one which will be satisfactory to the Fruit
Growers and profitable to the transporters.-Del

hundred inhabitants. On tho first day of March,
