THE MARKET.-The new market ordinance
went into practical operation on last Tuesday
morning. The market house has been open ev-
ery day since, and the stalls have all been well
supplied with meats vegetables, fruits, flowers,
and everything usually found IN well-reguia-
ted market, and the owners of stalls have found
very ready sale for their produce, at very good
prices. Thus far the market has been successful
beyond the expectation of every one, and we
have no doubt it will continue to improve.
