barrel, and a bag of carpet was knocked

81 60, and some broom-handles went for 10
cel.ts Four bundles Of roofing paper had
trouble in being sold for so cents, but it
didn't take long to dispose Of a barrel OF
molasses at 81
There was a little stiff bidding on a box
of starch. which went down at rs cents.
and there was sharp competition in the
bids on a lot of pins. Bundles of books
were slow. and could not be gotten rid
OF, save by combination Four dollars
was paid for a. showcase, a table and an
infants rocl1ing-chair Seven kegs of
axle-grease and barrel of paste went for
S.. and a bicycle went for $50.
Many other packages went at proper
