SIDEWALK IS THEIR MARKET
Where All Sorts of Goods Are Dis posed of by New York's
 Down and Outs"

Al the BOwery approach to the Will 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 50 cents each for the shirts and took $1 for the three. The trousers brought 75 cents the pair, while he had much trouble in dispos- ing of the silk underclothing at 25 cents garment.
 Another had fuf-lined coat which wasn't so very awful looking. He tried his best to get $5 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 S4.78 This won the coat.
 A ragged fellow had three razors. for which he asked $1 each. A big fel- low with wiry whiskers wanted razor but wasn't willing to pay the price. He offered 45 cents, then 50. He bought for 60.
 This market" is held in the open, on the sidewalk, and the police do not appear to care, for there is never any interference.
