AN OPEN MARKET.
Sir,--The extraordinary experience of your correspondent, "Boston," as to numberless prosecutions is one of two tilings, unique or imaginary, and. in either case, it. becomes negligible. Cattle markets, covering acres and surrounded by shops and dwellings, arc common. A hundred cartloads of manure and debris are cleaned up without difficulty, without losing a penny, but making a profit, and rarely a prosecution, in spite of swine fever and cattlo from overseas. Now these facts applying to cattle make the sale of ordinary produce a very simple and tidy affair. No extra staff is required and an hour's work cleans up the market. Could not "Boston" think of some re;il bogey. In Iqueque, for example, fish is not sold before 9 a.m., and all fish not. sold by three o'clock is confiscated. J hen the Durban market is in a tropical climate and must be a real nuisance. 1 suggest "Boston" makes full inquiries about .Melbourne and then he can afford us further and more reliable information. Rnnr K. Watson.
