SIDEWALK IS THEIR MARKET
Where All Sorts Of Goods Are Die
posed Of by New Yori's
"Down and Outs"

At the Bowery approach to the VIII
liamsburg bridge may be witnessed an
interesting sight at any hour Of the
day, says the New York Times. This
is the gathering Of near down-and-outs
disposing of what is left of their
wardrobes and who, being poor sales
men, usually take what is offered and
not what they expected to get.
The other morning there were four
on hand. One had three frayed silk
shirts, two pairs of more or less worn
trousers and three sets of silk under
wear. He asked so cents each for the
shirts and took 81 for the three. The
trousers brought Is cents the pair,
while he had much trouble in dispos-
ing Of the silk underclothing at 25
cents a garment.
Another had fur-lined coat which
wasn't so very awful looking. He
tried his best to get IS for it and held
on for nearly an hour. Finally mo-
tOrman came along and, after digging
in every crevice Of his pockets, pro
duced $4.7S. This won the coat.
A ragged fellow had three razors,
for which he asked 81 each. A big fel-
low with wiry whiskers wanted a
razor hut wasn't willing to pay the
price. lie offered As cents, then 80. He
bought for CO.
This "market" is held in the open,
on the sidewalk. and the police do not
appear to care, for there is never any
interference.
