Appearance goes great ways in the
markets, and the shipper of vegetables or
fruits cannot take too much pans with his
products. If he can make these attractive
he will be pretty sure of quick sales and
good prices. The Kalamazoo celery, as
placed on our markets, always looks odd
to us. We think that something is wrong
with it, but it is all in the trimming, says

the United States can afford to remain indiifer-

the only sufferer by the lack of full and proper

OUR UNCLEAN STREETS AGAIN.

Occasions frequently arise when the need Of
an additional adjective of intensive power and
meaning is most acutely realized. This is true
at times in every department of thought and
activity, and is just now superlatively true in
regard to our unclean streets. The word I'M
clean ITSELF by the way, is a good example Of
this, for wide as is the range of disagreeable
facts which it describes and includes, when used
by cleanIy and intelligent people, it does not
begin to describe the actual concrete condition
of the streets of New-York at all times and sea-
sons. But this is merely an aside. What we
started out to say was that if all ordinary ad-
ectives are inadequate to describe the disgrace
fully filthy condition of our streets on ordinary
occasions, they are simply mot in it,n so to
speak, on extraordinary occasions, such as the
present, when thousands OF openings are being
made in the streets, and thousands of new build
ings are being erected. The condition of our
streets at the present time is simply indescrib-
able In some Of them there is practically no
attempt to remove the dirt, while those in which
there is a pretence OF sweeping are in condi-
ton of chronic uncleanliness that would dis
grace frontier town in the Far West
And the worst of it is, there is no prospect of
change for the better In fact, things arc
going from bad TO worse. The excellent report
Of the Advisory Committee recently appointed
by Mayor Grant seems to have been dropped
into some convenient wastebasiset. And the
present incompetent Street Cleaning Bureau is
going on in the old way only more So What
can be thought Of Department, for instance,

Rain marred the opening of the new flower
market in Union Square yesterday morn
ing, and not only the number of vendors but
also that of the buyers was considerably smaller
than anticipated. Although the dealers present
exerted themselves to the utmost to make an
attractive exhibit in the northeast corner of the
Square, where the sidewalks were covered with
a variety of plants in full bloom, only few
purchasers put in an appearance. This was
attributable, not alone to the nfavorable nature
of the weather, but also to the earliness of the
hour. The order to the effect that the market
must be over and the Square vacated by
o'clock in the morning bids fair to shipwreck
the entire scheme, and thus deprive NewYork
of a feature that might otherwise have devel
oped into one of Its greatest attractions. Both
in Paris and in New-Orleans the flower markets
are permitted to extend to a considerably later
hour in the day. and there seems to be no reason
why Q similar latitude should not be granted
TO both the dealers and to their patrons here
in NewYork.
