The base ball business has boon over
done, manifestly not only here but every.
where. The public cannot stand so many

The amount of marketing taken out of
Lancaster weekly by uon.resdeuts is
something amazing. \ score Of Philadei.
phians send or bring their buckets and
baskets here once or twice week. They
find meats and vegetables, poultry and
dairy products, eggs and flowers, better,
fresher and cheaper by at least 33t per
cent. here than in the city. But they
stiffeu local prices, and Lancaster house
keepers complain bitterly of the forestlll'

which there is no legal remedy.
