VTTHEN Philadelphia started to regain It's
w commerce and was doing larger manu-
featuring business than any other city in the
country, in the early 50s, the business men
on Market street began to demand the
removal of the market sheds. They might
be convenient, but they did not believe 1t.
They declared business demanded that the
main business thoroughfare should present
a better appearance, now that the city had
become a metropolis by the consolidation of
all political parts of the county
Accompanying this agitation for the re-
moval of the sheds was movement for the
erection of market houses in the central part
of the city. A good many business men,
probably to assist in the removal of the
sheds more than from any idea that the
investment would prove profitable, took
shares in numerous market companies that
were started For a few years there was
a veritable craze for erecting market houses.
Other sections of the city became inoculated
with the spirit, and market houses arose in
virtually all of the populous centres. Some
of the speculations proved failures, or at
least enjoyed little success, but some of them
are still in being.

TNRoM the point of convenience 1t has some
Il thing to recommend it today, while IN
1859 it would have been impossible ana
ludicrous. Before the elevated railroad on
Market street was erected 69th and Market
streets was not so near as West chester, SO
far as time was concerned. Now 1t Is a
small matter of 20 minutes or little more.
One of the first convenences, we might
call it necessities that was considered for his
capital by the founder of Philadelphia was
the establishment of a market in High, now
Market, street at Front. The old Journals
of the Common Council are filled with refer
ences to the regulations for this market. IN
deed, scarcely one meeting of that body from
1904 until the Revolution passed without more
or less reference to the markets.
In those days the city fathers did not have
authority to create loans and sell bonds for
municipal improvements. When they desired
to extend the market sheds another square
they had to borrow from some Philadelphian
who had civic pride enough to advance the
necessary money There was some income
from rent of stalls, from wharfage and few
other perquisites, all of them rather trivial
and small from the modern viewpoint
Dy 1916 the market sheds extended west
d ward on Market street to Eighth street,
where they stopped. There were also the
sheds on Second street north and south and
these still remain. Later in the last century
similar sheds were erected in the middle OF
Spring Garden street, by the District OF
Spring Garden; in Girard avenue, by the
Penn Township, and in cambridge, then
shippen, street, and in Moyamensing avenue
by the District of Southwark. The District
Of Moyamensing erected sheds in Eleventh
street. south from Bainbridge street.
Those were the places where Philadelphia
went to market before the Civil War. All
of the sheds, except those on Market street
survived until about % years ago, and Visi-
tors to the city, especially those early
European travellers who came here to look
us over like some rare and astonishing tribe
that had done well under civilization, wrote
about Philadelphia and her
markets
