THE MARKET MATTER
The writ Ut error sought to be obtained by tb

for it ID not believed that the appeal will be-
suapensive one. devolutive appeal will onl,
enable the private market men to learn after /

Court OF the United States may be. II favorable
to them they may reopen their private mar.
kets: meanwhile. however, tbs city will con.
tinue to enforce It's ordinances.

hands full Of market business. In fact his
duties are most laborioug. requiring him not

can boast Of. and withal a moral power of en-
duranee which he ID only too often called upon
to exercise. Yesterday again be was using his
