Men Disappearing.

With the passing of its old name Of
Louisiana" avenue, the street, which
has been renamed for the State of In
diana, is also losing its longtime
tenants.
One by one the market men on the
avenue between Ninth and Tenth streets
are vacating the old buildings in which
they have been established many years,
abandoning the stands in front and
making way for the razing of the old
buildings, which will give place to gilt
tering structures of white stone on
Indiana" avenue, where once huck-
sters and dealers sold their wares on
Louisiana" avenue
It has been expected that most of
the buildings and stands along the
south side of the thoroughfare would
be closed last night, the last day of the
month, but it was said this morning
that some of the merchants in and in
front of the structures will remain until
the close of the week.
On the north side of the avenue some
of the buildings were vacated about
three weeks ago, although it was said
this morning that some Of the mar
chants will remain until April is, to
which time their rent is paid.
Some of the commission merchants
on the north side of the avenue already
have moved to other market districts,
while similar dealers on B street be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets vacated
Just after the Christmas holiday season.
Still others of the dealers are planning
to stay together, and it is possible that
a group of them may move into the
