This market has not been SO well supplied as
usual, and in consequence OF the poor accom-
modations-the street being upturned and in a
muddy condition, most of the sales in bulk have
been made AT the Center market. Here, too,

are not what they should be. Many Of the
countrymen arrive late at night, and find the
space between the market wings occupied with
no gas lights, and are compelled to shift for
then selves the best way they can for standing
