The morning times., 1895-11-08

, The wholesale market men who sell
farm products of their own raising are
Just now in a state of anxiety over the
coming transfer to new quarters on the
old ''hay market grounds, and at the same
time the Commissioners are in quandary
over the adjustment of details for the
management of the market. Between the
two elements there are propositions for
some form OF compr omise.
The prospective bidders for space are
not satisfied with the prospect OF being
transferred from their present stands
will not be permitted to occupy the vacated
space and gobble up a trade that occupied
years in accommodating.
All wholesalers are retailers" they
declare, land all retailers are or may
become wholesalers. 1t is but little trou-
BILE to readjust the line that divides the
two classes"
There was a delegation to see the ConI-
missioners yesterday, consisting of Col.
Wright Rives, Horace CroZicr, j. c..
Reeves and George g Curtis. They pre-
sented two propositions, one being that
the matter be left in statu quo until Con.
gress shall meet and an appropriation can
be secured to place the market in good re.
pair, and the other was that both wholesale
and retail dealers be moved to the space
west of Tenth street.
The committee assured the Commissioners
that they were very willing to pay for
market space, but they wanted the space
made equivalent in its benefits to the
outlay required.
They objected to the driveway as laid off
IN the center of the market space, claiming
that 1t is unnecessary, since the wholesale
&c .Ns.IEw "a
to grocers' wagons, and would have to
continue the practice under any circum-
stances. They want only space for wheel
barrows TO pass.
GRIEVANCE OF HAY DEALERS
Another objection comes from the deal
ers in hay They consider that the ex-
action of fee for space privilege, in
addition to the charge made for weighing,
Is an injustice, and they are going to
register a kick about it. The weigher,
they say, pays $500 a year for the priyi-
lege of running the scales. This and more
comes Off of the dealers, for the weigh
master gets the $500 and his profits In
fees, and any additional charge, how
ever small, is, therefore, objected to- Their
grievance will be presented later.
The Commissioners will probably today
reach a decision in the matter presented
by the committee, in order that II may be
made known in advance OF the sale OF
stalls on Monday next
