Msrkets-COmmotion Among the Long
Island Farmers.
The resolution of the Commissioners Of the Sink
ing Fund, to sell to private parties under appraise-
ment all the New York markets, except that in the
Eighteenth ward, has caused considerable OF sen.
sation among the farmers Of Long Island. The
farmers cannot understand the nature of this move
ment. Some incline 10 the idea that the city au-
thorities resort to this an artice to repel
the approach OF the farmers, and TO 0bvlate the
effect that refusal to grant their petition would
create. The press having taken q lively interest In
the matter has awakened the people to true
sense OF the 1nadeuuacy OF the markets,
and If taxpaying influence is capable Of bringing
about reform there seems now but little doubt OF
its accomplishment The agricultural mind cannot
conceive how is to be benefited by the sale or the
markets TO private parties. Those who are fore
most in the movement think 1t is gong to bring
about splendid results II the market Is purchased

fortunes they will AFFORD TO the farmers all reason

To our Patrons.


In consequence of the destruction OF
the city of Chicago by fire, we have sus-
tanned very heavy losses. Among the
most prominent is the loss of 500 of
the new Iowa County Maps. These
maps have cost US great deal of time
and money. We have been drawing
from laid up capital for the last three
years, and as yet we have seen few re-
turns. We have been investing mon
ey all that time, and now that we have
lost $1,000 sum of money that is
of some account to us, we hope and
trust those who have and may hereaf-
ter receive a notice from us will re-
spond promptly. Our accounts are in
small amounts, and every man can we'll
afford to pay what he is indebted to
this office. Yet the whole a.
mount to us is of great Importance
having about Sd, 900 standing out in
small amounts. We think we have
been very patient during the past, but
the time has come when we must make
collections. Therefore we urge on our
patrons speedy settlement in some

those that survive, their condition is
nearly as bad as those burned to death.
They are perfectly destitute-not even

is being done that can be at the present
time. but there is still room for more
exertion. Something should be done
from this village. We understand the
