The twelve young butchers, who have

as to which shall sell the latest, juicest

certainly compares well, as far as it goes,
with any market that has been here or
elsewhere. Only about one.third of the
market-house is occupied. This seems
unfortunate, but it caunot be otherwise
while butchers can open meat-shops in
any part of the city. We have nothing
to say as to which system is best for the
greatest number of people, but good
markets are the pride of any city, and it
must be confessed that Memphis has lit
tie to boast of in that line. Were dis
tingushed official to visit the city it is
not likely that our City Fathers would
rush him down to the market-house the

GINS Monopoly.

To THE EDITOR OF THE CHICAGO
TINES: | have seen and heard Of late
considerable about the gas interest, and
being one of the many who are directly
interested in the quality and price of 1t,
as pay too dearly for 30 poonan article,
of course l must complain. / do really
think that, taking the quality Of the gas
we pay for, and the price collected for it,
it constitutes the biggest nuisance in our
city. If we could get good gas. say TWEEN
ty.caudle light gas would not complain,
although / well know that the gas com.
panies can well afford to supply u, for
one.h half the price they now ask. Let us
see. They get 10000 feet of gas from a
ton of good coal. Then 800 tons of coal
will make 100000 feet of gas, about
our daily consumption. This coal costs
them only six dollars per ton, max
ing $500. Q We will say that $50
men will make this gas each day, and
that the average wages of those men
would be SO per day, making $3.50 more,
Say the lime to purify the gas costs $50
more, making $4,000 the cost of making
the gas and the material. Again. They
sell 10 bushels of coke To every ton of
coal, besides keeping enough to make
their fires, which would bring them $625
and they get about one barrel of tar from
four tons of coal, making rs barrels of
tar at S. per barrel, which would bring
1876 more, making $l050 more to be
added to the price of the gas or profit.
Three million feet of gas at SO so per
1000 feet would cost or bring $4,000
Add $l050 to the first above, aud it will
make 1850. Take from this amount
what they pay out, $4,000, and it leaves
$3.50. Allow them $1,000 per day in-
terest on investments, which is almost
| double what it should be, and it leaves the
snug sum of S8250 day net profit to our
gas companies. Now this amounts yearly
to the enormous sum of So, ll0,250.
What can the gas consumers say to such
monopoly, and what is the use of talk
| ing about "court house rings" and
barnacles? ?" / say that our city fathers
should make C. move and do something to
obtain cheaper light for US. Let US
have a competition. Allow capitalists to
erect new gas works, or let the city build
them and make it q source Of revenue to
our place. Ia the name of all that is
sacred, let as have a cheaper and better
light, or we shall raise such muss that
some folks will understand our inten-
tons. In EARNEST.
