Mr. creamer had hin in the Senate to-day pro-
vidino that the charter election in New York city
shar take Mace at November, instead OF in Decem-
her. There was no objection made to the report 1t

The question OF permitting nonresideuts of the
State to hold or lease stalls In Ihes market has been
occupying the attention OF the New York delegation

Piunkett and others. The bill appears 70 be fair
one when we consider that there are 200 dealers

the New York dealers In the sale OF stalls We must
remember also that there Is no reciprocity In our
neighb0r State. Not resident OF New York can

not passage this act allow any party, person
