The Pueriia Market Committee jieWve; 1 all praise for the laudable effortsthey have '1 put forth in order-to bring buyers and/sel-' | lers of stock into immediate contact with* 1 .each other by^the^i^lishrn^nt^f^a peri- | pdical, market in thetf district. * It is- to be -3 regretted thanhei^'exertion^in^f^wmatteriii ahavenbt hithefitQ.,me,t with the >full,' amount 1 of spccess they have, merited. At the Same '^ time their labors* Have not l?e'el v tjuitless* ;}i and perseverance, combined with the Hearty / co-operation ofthe- public, are alone nece's- ii sary to secure the realization of the objects, | they have in view.
