Customers do not throng to the market as they used to do.--We saw meat in the market yesterday morning that has been there since Saturday--a certain sign of two important facts; that money is scarce, more prized, and not so readily parted with as formerly, and that the supply of meat is not short of the demand. The fishermen even are becoming more moderate. We have never seen the market so abundantly supplied as since the 1st of April. We boarded a large oyster boat at the wharf a few days ago.

The oyster boat had been two days at the wharf, and the skipper said he had been trying all day to sell out, and was debating between throwing them away or giving them to the Free Market. We advised the latter course by all means. Ce
