Boiling temperature of the weather,
there was a very largo crowd in attend
ance at this Court yesterday morning.

heat increases. ..n

SECoSD WARD MARKET.-The Second
Ward market was we'll attended yester-
day morning and in many articles
prices seem to be simmering down.
New potatoes are down to 40 cents per
peck, and beans to 10 cents per peck.
Green apples were, near the close ofthe
market, selling at 80 cents per peck.
Butter still keeps up to its standard
price-3O cents per pound.
Supply and demand, however, will
regulate prices. Vegetables must come
down because the demand is less than
the supply, while butter is scarce, and
the supply not being adequate to the
demand, the prices will keep up. AT
the present price butter-making must
be a remunerative business, and compe'
tition is necessary to reduce the cost OF
the article.
