AN INCIDENT IN A BAR-ROOU.-Yesterday morning a party of men were conversing In a bar room, at the southwest corner of King and Broad streets, when one of them invited another to take a drink with him. The Invited party declined thc honor with the remark that "he would not drink with a d-d thief." No. 1 did not walt to bandy words on the subject, andr j having a greater command of muscle than rhetoric, responded with a crushing left hander. No. 2 received the blow under the left side or the jaw and went over. In his rall he poked bis bead through a glass door to look for stars In daylight. Before rlslug he apologized, and the suggestion that the police were around made eva-rythlng saiooihlna-trlce, - .

TAKEN PROM A BARK.-The bark Kcdar, bound to Valparaiso from Havana, put in herc for supplies on the loth of December, and having been libelled In the Admiralty Court, has been since lying In the harbor. On the 7th in? stant her forward hatch was broken open, and some sixteen or eighteen bales of Spanlsli to? bacco, with which she was laden, were carried off. Thia was discovered after the return of the captain from New York, whither he had gone on business. Ue promptly reported the matter to the chief of the detectives, who set to work and In a short time found sunlctent evi? dence to Inculpate several parties on board of the ship. One of the mates and a sailor were arrested and examined on Monday after* noon berore Trial Justice Schroder. The investi? gation, after several witnesses had been heard, was postponed until yesterday, and a wharfinger be-ng Implicated by the testimony, he was added to thc number of the prisoners at the examina? tion yesterday afternoon. The accused were all represented by counsel, and at the close of the examination the wharfinger and mate were com? mitted for trial at the next Conrt or General Seas slons. The decision ia the case of one other pris-' oner was reserved. Several other parties, more or lesa implicated, will be arrested shortly, and a further examination held. The tobacco stolen ls va ued at $109, and has not been recovered. IMPROVING TEE NECK. MARKET FARMING, AND HOW TO MAKE II PROFITABLE. Valuable anil Interesting Hints. The great and constantly growing impor? tance of the market farming interest of Charleston Neck ha3 led us to obtain for publi? cation In full the following able and very inter? esting paper on the subject, which was read by Dr. Rose at the recent meeting of the Agricul? tural Society : Market Farming, and How to Make lt Profitable-. To detail fully all the operations necessary for successful market gardening would prove no light task, and extend this paper much be yon i the limits which the patience ot the so? ciety would sanction. The question, however, of profit and loss is one that comes home to many who have been practically engaged in the occupation, and entertain grave doubts If a satisfactory answer can be given. I am, however, prepared to assert that, requisite skill and enerby being displayed, as fair an in? come and return for capital invested will be realized by this Industry as any other. Cer? tainly no description of husbandry can com? pare with it. A false error, but one Into which nine-tenths ot the farmers of this neigh? borhood have fallen, and winch will account, without looking further, lor the causes of fail? ure, is the attempted cultivation of more land than their capital will warrant, and consequent imperfect preparation and insufficient fertiliza? tion. The necessary expenses of market farm? ing are always great; the return, therefore, must be certain and large, or loss will infallibly result. The principles upon which we must proceed are as follows: Plougli,deep]y and ihoroughly pulverize the soil-, flu lt with plant rood'to. the ul rr. os vthe Jaie o Jed crop will dem ali ot; finally, cover the in nd with crop so that each allotted space will produce as perfect a vegetable as possible. "The true farmer," says Dana, no less a sage than the ancient orator who gave to a?tlon the flrstrsecond and third place in eloquence, "will answer, lt* it ie asked him what is his first requisite ? Manure. What se? cond ? Manure. What third? Manure." These answers are to be united. Action and manure are the first and last requisites in agriculture. The manures available tor our purposes, and obtainable-Hi our vicinity, aire stable manure; compost prepared from * vegetable mould, trampled and enriched by droppings from cat? tle; guano; preparations of night soil, and the various commercial fertilizers prepared from the fossil phosphate of lime, to which various nlgtrogenous substances are added. Stable manure Is always excellent for vegeta? ble culture if it can be obtained, but the stuff so industriously hauled, piled and turned by the farmers of Charleston Neck scarce deserves the name. The saw-dust and rice-chaff which are universally employed to bed the horses of the city furnish nothing valuable as plant food; the former ls, I,believe; absolutely injurious, and more failures . have-' resulted from a de? pendence upon this description ot manure than from any one other cause. These heaps of saw-dust, slightly moistened with urine, and intermixed with a limited amount of excre? ment, heat with a violence and duration un? surpassed. The ammoniacal compounds pre? sent in the mass are by the violence of the fer? mentation decomposed and destroyed, nor do I know ol any method by which tluVcan be pre? vented, at present, within reach bf the ordinary farmer, h allowed to remain and thoroughly rot and decompose, so little fertilizing-prop ties remain ai to render them scarce worth hauling on tho ground. They are moreover nurseries of bugs and Insects, and harborers of weeds and grasses. When ap^' plied In a crude unfertnented condition, the effect upon the crop Is often most disastrous. The tender vegetables sicken aud droop, ver? min of .various descriptions fasten, upon.by thoiisandfe, sod soon complete-the work of tie structlon. Properly composted ' barn-yard manure difj'ers vastly from the above. Its basis ls vegetable mould, leaves, straw and sweeping aud cleaning ol ditches and fence corners, trampled and malted together by cat? tle, whose droppings are evenly disposed over Hie entire mass, layer by foyer. Fermentation ls checked, if not suspended by the exclusion ot atmospheric air, the conditions for the for? mation of nitre arc most favorable, all the elements ol' fertility are supplied, and the transformation rendered more complete by ! age. "Evtery effort, therefore, should be ?nafle to supply a, larg? quantity1 ot this 'compos', to lands cultivated In garden truck. Even where a sufficient quantity Is not available, lt forms an admirable dilatant to more expensive and highly stimulating fertilizers, I and can,-.with"-advantage, be Jolued with guano, or the contents of vaults, giving to both 1 those valuable substances an element they are said to be deficient/ loy namely : potash. Among fertilizing agencies, guano deservedly stands ut the u*nid of thc list, and, if employ? ed with sufliclent1 boldr.es?,'will give more satisfactory results than all the other sub-: stances usually employed combined. Its chemical composition points it out as rich In all the elements required for vegetable nour? ishment, and its mechanical condition is most favorable for rapid d Ut ri hw ti on and assimila? tion by the roots of the plants to which it is preseulcii. As aa addition and aseistjiat to all kinds of manure, lt will be-found of Incalcula? ble value, not only improving the yield in quantity of the crop, but the beauty and flavor also ol'the Individual specimens. All descrip? tions ol garden truck can be cultivated willi guano. Both roots and leal crops flourish re? markably by Its application, with the sole ex? ception of "leguminous vegetables, such as peas,, beaus, ?cc. Manures rich lu, alkallue properties} namely:] lime, barnyard : and sta? ble coln post, are n?cessary for" these last II^ beary crops arc desired. To reap the full effects of Peruvian guano, not less than twelve or fifteen hundred pounds per nore should be employed; un admixture with ordinary gypsum or land plaster is re? ?oit mended, aud I think with advantage. The most convenient and economical mode of ap? plication is to sow In drills made with the or? dinary turning plough anJ to pass a sub-soil or bull tongue through the drill after sowing; to iliorougiify mix and Incorporate, the ' guano with loose -soil. After returning the earth' thrown out by the ploughs into the drill, the seed or plants may be immediately sown or set. That guano should exert Its "full fertil? izing powers a sufficient supply of moisture is necessary, tn seasons of extreme drought; therefore disappointment will sometimes at? tend its use, unless artificial Irriga? tion can be resorted to. No manure, however from whence derived, will give as iavorable results in seasons ol drought as In those where the raln-lall ls auffielent lor Hie purposesiof the growlug plants. Clay lands, also, are more favorable for the employment ot guano than the light sandy soils of the'sea? board of South Carolina, which are prone to leach under the best ol circumstances, and. are particularly liable to do so under the system of severe cropping they are-subjected to on the Neck. " -r II is much to be regretted that some syste? matic effort is not made to husband and pre? serve for the uses of agriculture the sweepings ol' the streets and contents ot vaults and scav? enger carts, nightly emptied into the rivers on the east and west of tho city. Ships laden with guano from the tropics, and fish scrap, and desiccated meat, from the oil presses and shambles of thu Northern and Western States crowd our wharves, and smaller craft swarm ia river and creek collecting phos? phate rock for tho manufacture ot com? mercial manures, and hundreds of thou? sands of dollars are expended yearly in their purchase lor the renovation ot' thc ex? hausted fields of our own and sister States, whilst material more valuable than the best manipulated uitrogenized superphosphate is recklessly thrown away and wasted. The teeming fields ot Continental Europe, which so delight the eyo ol ttfe dtxavelliuit stranger, owe their ferliiity to a judicious employment of the above-mentioned t-ourcas of manure. Even the semi-civilized nations of China und Japan read us lessons fraught with instruction on this subject. Norwin we obtain the sought for success In agriculture until means are adopted to supply cheaply manure for the uses of the cultivators of the soil. Liquid manure or Gadon, prepared from night-soil in cis? terns specially constructed for the purpose, ls highly recommended by Europeans for the culture of garden vegetables especially, and an earlier yield secured by its employ? ment than by any other means. Pou? dre tte originated In France, and is ex? tensively prepared at Montfaucan, near Paris. Both the solid and liquid constit? uents of ...ght soil are mixed with charred peat, ano rendered thereby inodorous; but the various fertilizing properties are retained, it is claimed, In all their vigor. Establishments for the preparation ot a similar material have been established near the large cities of the Northern and Western States. The substance,' however, they export to us, appears, from what I can judge, (having used it on various crops,) to be deficient In fertilizing energy. Certainly it will In no way compare with guano-the one-quarter of a ton of the latter having In my hands produced heavier returns than one ton of the former applied upon equal acres of land of the same general description. We can occasionally obtain Ash-scrap li market, and the market farmer will und most valuable manure when used in suffi quantity; from one to two tons per ac ample, and will compare In results with 1 vlan guano, applied at the rate of twelve dred pounds, its actlou is slower but i durable-hence more applicable to the 1 f growing and gross feeding vegetables, autumn cabbage crop, rutabagas and po crops, are those I would Indicate to which particularly adapted. Mixing with an e bulk of plaster, as in the case of guano, advantages. The effect upon the crop is t happy, promotlug a vigorous healthy gro> anil advancing its maturity several week most important consideration. I have nott lt upon leguminous vegetables, as peas, be &c, but imagine from its action it would pi more suitable for them than guano. The n uiacturers of commercial fertilizers em] it extensively as one of the ingredients their compounds, and many of tl owe their reputation mainly lo lt. mechanical condition is not as favora nor ls it as convenient for distribu? as guano or manipulated commercial fe izers, being altogether a cruder pr?par?t! but perhaps more useful for our purposes it evolves its ammonia more gently and ; nlshes ita phosphate of lime and other s slowly and in accordance with the gradual mands ot the developing plants. Fish sera comparatively free from the caustic proper of similar highly concentrated manures and 1 likely to Injure from over application. I \ say little here of the commercial fertilizers i superphosphates, so fashionable at the pres day; few of them are useful to the market g deher. The crops we grow are mostly sb ones, requiring active, stimulating manure? push them rapidly to maturity. I have exp {merited extensively with most of them, ? can recommend Pacific guano, prepared at works at Itikersvllle, as the most rehab l< have tried. Used at the rate of 1000 poui per acre. It will produce heavy crops. L guano, lt ls more adapted to clay soils. The question may be asked: Can succ sive and remunerative crops of narden ve| tables be grown, year by year, anil sea* aller season, safely by the applicaiion of lin artificial manures, and can the soil be ma tained in its fertility ? Or, in other wor Can the farmer, by an outlay of $60 to $100 r acre for guano, fish 6crap, or poudrette, re ize a payiug crop sufficient for his own a family's support ? That these highly cone? Irated fertilizers are extremely valuable, a will very much facilitate and Insure the des ed result, I have no doribt, but the true syst? ls to vary and multiply our sources of pla food as much as possible. The chemists t us that plants and vegetables contain as mu as fifteen elementary chemical substance Some ot them abundant In the atmosphc around us, and in the soil we cultivate; abundant that our crops, even after years constant feeding, cannot exhaust them. B others, and these the most importai are furnished by nature ld far sma er. quantities, and are rapidly exhaust? by the demands our crops make upon thei Nitrogen, phosphorus, potash and lime, seien points out as the essentials to be sought for manures, which the laboratory of the soil ai atmosphere converts into ammonia, phospha of lime, nitrate of potash, ?cc. la seeking fe tiiizing material, therefore, we must not on go to the guano, or poudrette, for ammoni I out to tlie compost heap and stable waste, tl mud batik and" chimney sweepings'for potas lime and phosphorous, that by placing the conveniently together the requisite transfo mations may take place. By guano we Tnt stimulate our crops to make heavier demant on the soil for other elements, and we mu by all means provide flicm if we hope for thi Buccess which we should all aim at and e: deavor by all means to attain. Prof. Ville, c page 77 of his published lectures, makes ll lollowlng remarkof faino: "To convert itInl a complete- manure it is sufficient to add to potassa and lime. Most of our seaboard soi ls cot iain an abundance of the latter Ingredient; but sn?uld Judge them very deficient "In the forme In.the same lecturevpage.81,speaking of til resources of potash, he alludes to some recet experiments by which their "useful salts at obtalued irotn sea waler, where they exist In form not-believed to be avullaBle for plat food. .'.Practically, however, we know that th application of salt mud' and salt marsh gras: partially rotted, has proved the most reliabl renovator of exhausted sea island coito lands. The chemists may not ai yet be able t tell us what it is which makes the salt mu valuable; but the fact cannot be denied that n material has as yet been found as a substitut producing the sanie effects. Concentrated lei 'tizzers generally drive the crops to which the I are applied to weed. Mud and marsh produc a contrmry effect; - exuberance of foliage I checked; bul the yield of fruit Incronsed, an also the ability to bri hg the increased yield t maturity. -. . -PREPARATION OP THE SOIL. In Europe, where vegetable culture is cai ried to great perfection, and where labor 1 cheap and abundant, the spade ls (he imple mont in general use to pulverize aud brea! up the soil. I doubt if it would pay with ti to imitate them, but it ls none the less impor taut lo-thoroughly prepare the land for ihi reception of the seed. The ploughs at presen in use arc so admirably constructed, aud di their work so efficiently, that little more 1 needed if requisite caro ls taken to cover al the ground, leaving no part unturned to a Bili llclcut depth. We must remember that tin best working otir crops can get ls that whicl is given before the seed is put in. No labo bestowed in preparation is lost, and in tin large majority of cases a very trifling amonn of hoelugiind cleaning will be necessary ii the after cultivation. Ahorse hoe or sweei can easily clean five acres a day, if followed by an active man. Tho autumn crops will noces sarily give more trouble In this particular thar those planted In spring,' and consequently prove less remunerating. As a general rule, planting on ridges will bc found more advantageous than flat planting. The heavy, drenching rains and hot suns, inci? dent to our climate, Injure less the tendei seedlings when lifted in this way above the surface, and the grass and weeds which prove such pests to the farmer on these old long planted fields is removed with less injury to the rootlets, upon which the plants at that early stage depend for support. Manure is also much economized, as it can be put in the drill immediately below the plants, and where they can find it with the greatest facility. I have never known even the most concentrated ol the fertilizers do harm when evenly scattered at the bottom of the drill, and a sufficient amount of earth drawn over it to temper its causiic properties. One essential element of success ls a careful observance of meteoric changes, and using them as assistants and guides. Our seasons do not vary as much as one would think. Bain and drought will most frenerally visit tts, year by year, about the same dates, which, being kuowu, either can. with reasonable certainty, bc anticipated, and sow? ings and plantings made to take, advantage'of the one or avoid the other. I will Illustrate my meaning by a few examples. The most in? tense cold of our year will generally occur irom the 1st to the 20th ot January; therefore, in planting for the early spring crop, choose from the 15th to the 20th to put the seed in the ground; the plants will come above the surface immediately alter the hard freeze of the sea? son and do well. Had they shown themselves earlier they would have been seriously injured. Again, tlie early days of March are apt to be very frosty. Avoid having early and tender seeds showing themselves until tlie 15th. Tlie cool week in August is well known to all of us. A cloudy sky, with east wind and rain, most generally attends lt. No weather can be more favorable lor setting autumn cabbages and sprouting turnips; if lost, weeks and days ot drought and burning sunshine will inevita? bly prevent the taking ol' the plants, or genni-' nation ol the seed, and these valuable crops either left unplanled or fatally delayed. The foregoing remarks being taken into con? sideration, I advise always tlie earliest planting for all crops. A week, a day, a few hours even, will often make a oilference of considerable momenl to the farmer in effecting a profitable sale of his produce. The fluctuations in the vegetable market are greater than in any other. As a luxury aud a variety no price ls too extravagant to be paid for the first fruit; but where the competition is great, a rapid fall must necessarily be anticipated, and tlie late coming harvest may not be worth the gather? ing. In this connection, hot beds and forcing glasses become a necessity among the imple? ments of thc farm, and their management a part of the daily duties, during the cold days of winter and early spring. Tlie former are with us very simple affairs, a wooden frame covered witn glass is sufficient. They should be erected near a well; lor frequent watering is the chief and almost only care they need. Give them plenty of air, shutting the sashes as the temperature of tlie atmosphere va? ries, and if very cold throw over a cov? ering of refuse straw, which must be provi? ded and piled near at hand. Forcing glasses are of great use, but too little employed on our Neck farms. They will not protect from hard . frosts,- but ll resorted to after the extreme cold has passed, will materially advance the plants to which they are applied, and place the fruit in the market a fortnight or more before others in the same situation, but not protected in the same way. A knowledge of the best varieties ot seeds, plants and tubers, and those adapted to onr -soll and climate, is very necessary. As a n bat with exceptions, home raised s?ed will ; give satisfactory results. The Charles! raised autumn cabbage seed ls one of the and no foreign seed, either from the North? States or from Europe, will produce as f heads nor as well flavored. Roots, ho wer euch as turnips of all kinds, beets, carrots a the like, require, If we desire to have them perfection, to be grown from imported sei The spring and summer cabbage also must grown from seed obtained abroad. Ev Northern grown cannot be depended on foi certain crop of heading cabbages. Potatoes and potato culture, from ?ts Impi tariee, demands more at my hands than a pa lng note. No less tuan 28,000 barrels wc shipped from Charleston to Northern ports the year 1869, and 14,000 barrels in 187C all the produce of our immediate neighbi hood. Beside this large amount, a considera! quantity was sent Into the interior. Ma new varieties of potatoes have, within the lt six or eight years, been offered to the publ most of them laying claim to superior qua ties over the older sorts, either as proll bearers, or for early maturity. In the ye 1969, with a view to test the adaptability some of these to our soil and climate, I plat ed six varieties, in lots of from one to tv acres each, four of them new kinds, the othe of the old established sorts which the farme had long been accustomed to plant. Tho marked as prolific berjers, such as the ear Goodrich, Harrisson's and Davis's seedlin proved too small In size, and are, moreove badly affected with disease, to warra me In recommending them. The whl skins, particularly, appeared unsuited this latitude. The ' older " kinds as tl Pink Eyes and Dykemans,are very shy bearer but delicate as a table potato. Of the reds, can name the Chili Red, and Old Western Re as pre-eminently the varie! les for us, espeei? ly the first named. They are hardy, very pal table, and always of fine size, even when ni stimulated by high manuring. In the lo black lands the Western Red ls very prolifl and will produce more to the acre than ar other. The Chili seldom bear more than thn potatoes to the set. but the proportion of sma unmarketable potatoes ls very trifling; thc therefore always command a market and prov profitable. From sixty to eighty barrels pt acre are about ail we can expect from then The Early Rose, a new variety recently Intn duced. has not as yet been extensively cult vated at Hie South, but it is highly recon mended. Experiments with them on highl manured black lands would be wort trying. They come Into market seven weeks In advance of the general crop, glvln them a great advantage. No potatoes sui ceed well with us on the dry light soil ot the seaboard. Well drained black lands at the only soils in which a potato crop shoal be set, with a hope ot a remunerative retun No amount of fertilization will supply a lack c necessary moisture, and a drought in May an June is almost a certainty in this climate. Pc tatoes are gross feeders, and require liben manuring with the best and most highl stimulating manure which can be obtalnec I have known large crops made with Peruv la guano, applied in the drill at the rate of elgh hundred pounds to the acre, and the set placed Immediately in contact with lt. Pots toes will bear and thrive on manure In a con ditton entirely unfit for any other vegetabl crop. Hot fermenting stable manure strew; heavily in the drill, will often produce remark able crops, but where it becomes necessar to use this mode of fertilization, a better plai would be to broadcast and plough undet before the drills for planting are made. Th seed will be less likely to rot and the tuber to be diseased. The potato delights In a soi mellow, damp soil, and thorough plough lng and pulverization must be the firs step in preparation of the field. For the larg? growing sorts, three feet Is the proper dlstano tor the drills. The Early Rose, Goodrich ant Pink-eyes may be put at thirty Inches. Tb alter cultivation will consist of freemen ploughing and stirring to keep the soil loosi and open, and as near to the plants os possl ble. The work of cultivation must be dom early,, so that after the tubers ure formed the, may not be disturbed; of course, all grass am weeds must be scrupulously kept out of ttv crop. Harvesting is an important part of potati culture, and many has been the crop com pletely (ruined by carelessness at this stage After clearing the field of vines by hand pull lng, plough dowu the ?eds, either with a sweej or turning plough, (I use the tonner,) gathe the tubers in baskets, care being taken t< bruise and injure os little as possible, and pill In the field, carefully covering the heaps Iron the sun-rain will do them no harm, but thc sun, I say, must not shine on them lt you de sire them to keep even for a few days. Nelth er, in this climate, should you delay tin harvest until the tubers are entirely ma ture. They must be taken from the eartl before the vines even begiu to turn yellow. I this is done the crop will lay auy length o time in the barn without decaying, and ship li perfect order. The pinn of Immediately oar relllng them Irom the furrow, and leaving Itu barrels exposed lor hours lo the rays of a Jam or July sun, Is without doubt the cause thal Charleston potatoes are reported in the New York and Philadelphia markets so universally in bad condition. Our climate ls not tavorabu for potato culture. We must there'itro tak( particular care to expose them to its lufiuencei as little as possible by early planting, promut lng by all mean? a rapid growth ana Judlcloui harvesting. Going Into market as they do a a time when the old stock is running low, and the Bermudas are exhausted, they generali} command very fair prices, if they are market? ed in good condition. I have seen sacks usec in harvesting, and they are very convenient the potatoes being moved In that way from place to place, with very little handling ant bruising. Tile profits of market farming, when prop? erly conducted, aro often very great; but al tue same lime the cultivation ls necessarily ol so expensive a kind, and the outlay so large, that failure entails severe loss. Tue causes, however, ot failure cnn usually be guarded against by skill, and the occupation rendered more certain than any other description ol planting. With proper preparation of soil, and choice and sufficient quantities of manure, want of moisture is the chief difficulty to be overcome, aud our operations will not bc com? plete without appliances lor obtaining and dis? tributing water In seasons of drought. Nothing, I believe, has been systematically attempted on Charleston Neck to accomplish this. In Italy. In a climate very similar to our own, anti" liable to long-protracted droughts, nume? rous wells and waler tanks, localed conveni? ently, are considered a necessary part of the utensils ot the market farm, and the waler ls run upon the crops by means of open gutters of concrete bordering the fields and garden beds. For our purposes, water-carte and a few hundred feet ol hose, with a small force pump, would not be very expensive, and would repay the cost many times even in the first season. To secure an early stand by the rapid germination of seed, and stimulate and advance the frultlug of melon?, cucumbers and the like, which, marketed a few weeks in ad? vance of the general crops, would Increase the profit ot the farmer many hundred per cent. What is most needed on Charleston Neck to render market farming profitable ls skill. Very lew persons engaged In the busiuess possess even the rudiments" of knowledge necessary. Providence has given us one of the finest cli? mates in the world, and a soil warm and sus? ceptible of indefinite Improvement. Accidents lrom natural causes are ol unusual occurrence, and all we need is energy and failli In the suc? cess of our operation to reap a rich reward. I would say to the market'farmer, begin upon a small scale-cultivate every acre you put in crop as perfectly as you can. Kemember thal the profit in market gardening comes not from the abundance of interior stuff you are able to taise, buL from the beauty and flavor of each individual cauliflower, or beet, or cab? bage, or from the earliest box of cucumbers, or green peas, or snap beans, you can send to tempt the luxurious rich of less favored localities. The markets of the great Northern cities are so extensive, thal it ls almost impos? sible to glut them in the early season, and the prices ol our produce never fulls until il comea in competition with that grown nearer home, and, consequently, marketed in finer condition. Vast quantities of vegetables are also con? sumed at our own doors, nor have I yet known the time when a really fine article could not be disposed ot at a profit. Auctioneers' JJrioatc Soles, &t.
