street. was but poorly attended this
morning, Ana there seemed to be lack
of interest in both buyers and sellers
The goods exposed for sale were of a
good quality but notwithstanding the
fact, prices were moderate. So far
there Is but very little spring vegeta-
bles offered for sale, with the single
| exception of spinach, and 1t does not
command good price.

kinds of the finny tribe was very
noticeable, in fact one of the oldest
sibIe to procure fish for sale, aud that

for sale, and about the same number
