THE OITY's FOOD SUPPLY.

Inspector Desvergers' Report Upon
Market Produce and the Market.
Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens
Sanitary Association reports the average
quality OF food produce in the market for
the week ending last night as excellent,
particularly in the line of cold storage.
western dressed meats, and fish and vegeta-
bles. Shad are being received ia but lin
tied numbers from the Ogeechee and Sa-
vannah rivers.
novelty in the market was the appear
ance on the hooks of one of the meat
stalls or western rabbits undresse6, and
several quarters Of venison from the west
OF such immense size and SO exceedingly fat
as to suggest the conjecture that the ami
mails from which they were taken were elk
or moose.
The inspector says that the run of COM
plants in reference to the condition of the
market, particularly the passageways of the
basement and the vaults, keeps up. Garbage
from the cook shops in the vault is thrown
upon the grating of the cess pools, both in
and around the market, The cavities of the
cobbie pavement around the garbage box
on the west of the market house are the re-
ceptacles of kitchen offal and offensive
fluids, which during the warm days of the
last week attracted flies in swarms.
The Inspector says further that one of the
most aggravated nuisances about the mar
ket building is the indecency Of people in
the basement passage ways, and until a DO.
llceman is regularly employed to look after
the lower part of the market house the nuis-
ance will continue.

The evidence was in someparticulars con-

stand, not only testified to taking the ak
from Meyler, but showed the scars of
wounds inflicted upon bis head by Mevl err

a Strong Point.

An important improvement in the new
Chickering upright action is the manner in
which the escapemant of the jack is regu-
lated, preventing the hammers from block
ing under the most trying circumstances.
Chickering & Sons have produced an up
right pianoforte action which they can
justly be proud of. The action gives a
quick response to the hghtest touch, and
when under force it offers a resistance that
causes the player to feel assured of his
ability to give a powerful blow when
needed. Add to this marvellous repeating
quality, together with non-liability to get
out of order, and you have an idea of the
value of Chickering Piano with its latest
improvements.
We have seen this action tested by num-
Der of our representative pianists, who
freely declared that it was the nearest ap-
proach to Grand action yet achieved in
the Upright Piano.
Compare the Chickering with any repre-
sentative Piano. The test will repay you,

THE FREEZE AND THE FARMERS.
Lettuce and Beets Nipped, but Other
Vegetables Escape.

Lettuce and Beets Nipped, but Other
Vegetables Escape,
The freeze did some damage on the truck
farms, and lettuce and beets were nipped.
A good supply of both was in the market
yesterday and consumers found them to be
all right.
j. Cell, one of the largest truck farmers
around the city, said that the frost was
heavy, but vegetables somehow suffered but
little. Lettuce and beets, he said, are in a
condition now to be cut off altogether by
the cold, and if q frost more severe than
that of last week were to come, it would
prove damaging to the farms. Peas have
not been damaged. The vines are yet solid,
and they are less liable to be hurt by the
cold than when they get Older and the vines
get hollow.
1--WE are planting now" he added, "and
if later we get cold weather it will no doubt
have a tendency to make some of the truck
late, but this would be much better than for
it to develop and then be killed of entirely
by very late frost"
Strawberries are ripening now, and frost,
If severe enough, will hurt them. They
would be damaged more than any other
kind Of truck growing now.
Mr.. sGell had a box of very fine berries on
exhibition at the market yesterday. Straw
berries, he said. are ripening rapidly now,
nearly two months earlier than last year.
HAS the season been a very good one for
truckg'
mot above the average. While the
weather has been warm enough to plant
almost anything, the lack of rain has
retarded the growth of everything, and the
effect of the mild weather has not been as
favorable as it was thought it would be. Our
plants have not grown in consequence of
the excessive dry weather. Whatever we
planted required watering every day. 1t
has been expensive; besides the stuff has
not grown as it would had we had rain"
Tomatoes are in market now. The cold
weather has not hurt them.
