The fate of the Washington market
house clearly shows that the people OF
this city. as well as the farmers, prefer
the old curbstone market. This mar.
ket house was one OF the largest, most
convenient and best arranged In this
city, and although farmers were offered
stalls at very low rates, they failed to
avail themselves, with very few ex.
ceptions, OF the offer. Those who did
take stalls found that they could sell
more produce on the curbstone, and
consequently did not keep them long.
The result is that what was generally
thought would proyea success, and be
the means Of opening the way tor the
solution OF the curbstone market trou-
bic has proved failure and the build
ing will in a few days be disposed of
at public sale. Market houses are not
received with much favor in this city,
and it is probable that many years
will elarse before the curbstone mar
kets viii be abolished and the sellers
aud buyers compelled to transact their
business in doors.
