fencing much Inconvenience. The
general suppl of provisions at the
wholesale hofses is ample for short
suspension fof traffic. The whole
sale house u Henry Darts Sons was
fully stocked up in anticipation of
the trouble, and A. c. Dart stated
this morninStthat he had an abund-
ance of stock ~ hand to take care of
the local marker for time at least.
AS far as beef is cohaeEn1ai. the local
