GAZETTE's labors excited considerable in
terest and comment and showed plainly the
feeling of those directly interested. This
morning the pulse of the farmers was felt,
so to speak, and below the result is given !:
1t will readily be seen which way the wind
blows with the producers, and while all
of them were not interviewed a sufficient
number were seen to indicate clearly the
prevailing sentiment. 1t is O matter of
especial note that a large number are in
clined to the belief that a market house
would be better both for buyers and sellers,
and will have to come sooner or later.
All the farmers are weary with the con-
tinual changing of the market laws, tired
Of the scramble for places, and anxious for
final settlement of what has for many
years proved question.
THE INTERVIEWS.
The following persons interviewed were
picked out at random, and their expressions
in regard to choice of locality, the ad-
visibility of a division of the market, and
their ideas concerning an indoor market
are briefly given.
William T. Nickerson-Very well suited
here; French street wouldn't be a good
place-too much dust; King is the best
street in Wilmington for market.
Valentine Forward-Don't want to move,
but willing to have the markat where they
put it.
M. IL. Calley-Satisfied with it on King
rect; think division would work badly;
wouldn't like 1t; market houses would be
better
Robert Harkness-Don't want to move;
division would work badly.
T. =. Harkins-No use in moving; not in
for 1T; If n change is made 1t should be to
market houses; division would be bad
III. w. Mouseley-Don't want to move un-
less 1t is to a market louise; division won't
work.

to move division wouldn't work market
houses would be we'll for some, but small
dealers would be injured.

Mrs. Z. NJ. Moore--Don't make any differ
| ence to me, but it would make 1t worse for
buyers.
Amos Brown--Would rather DC here
haven't thought much of the proposed
division; If large houses were made it
| would be better.
Sallie Ralston-They can't do it; 1 don't t
want to move; it is useless; two markets
would spoil the whole thing; it is better as
| il is; market houses won't do.
Mrs. Beeson-Don't make much differ
| ence; couldn't place it any better; better all
