  (By Dumb-Crambo, Junior)
The Linen Trade.There have been a few transactions in rags at threepence a pound, and an extensive bone-grubber caused considerable excitement by bringing a quantity of waste-paper into the market which turned the scale in his own favour. Motto for a Mourning Warehouse.—Die and let live. Out of Place.—A vegetarian at the Cattle Show. A Financial Authority Badly Wanted.—The man who can say "bogus" to the investing goose. The Vegetable Market.Asparagus is looking up, and radishes are taking a downward direction. Peas were almost nothing at the opening; and new potatoes were buoyant in the basket, but turned out rather heavy at the settling. A rush of bulls through the market had a dreadful effect upon apple-stalls and other minor securities; but all the established houses stood their ground, though the run occasioned a panic among some of the proprietors. The Quarterly Accounts The Quarterly Accounts.—Clerk. "Sorry to say, sir, there's a saddle we can't account for. Can't find out who it was sent to." Employer. "Charge it on all the bills." |
