partment of tie market has become anti.
densely populated. Half Of the 3 090 nv.

market have already arrived and bcct,n "a
arrange their wares. A few early rur
chasers ara on hand for choice bargains
Several shivering bunmers, who freouppt
the place and sleep heaven knows wbera
are standing about and looking wistfully
IN at the windows of the little restauranta
in the market. They will later in the dav
run the chance of earning an odd dime ar
so carrying baskets. The poultry dealers
have come and are unnaclinr boyes n
frozen turkeys. On the bills of fare Of re.
cherche restaurants one learns that prairie
chicken can be had. They are not in tle
market, but long rows Of Guinea hens ara
hanging there, and the brunette flesh If
the Guinea hen is palmed off on the m.
suspecting customer for prairie chicken.
At 6 O'Clock the oyster stands are peonlsd
with files Of oyster openers, who begin
their unromantic toll of tuning 1000 oys-
tiers day out of house and home.

Spring lamb is plentiful, but the con.
comitant mint is so scarce that the one or
two stands that sell it get ten ccntsa
bunch for hot house mint that little
later will be drug on the market at two
cents. Everything eatable is sold in this
great market. At one stand that has a
foreign air and odor customer is buyinr
little hard, spiced cakes from GERMANY,
