The new Market on the north side of
Charterhouse Street is now open, and the game
and poultry dealers from the old Fish Market
have been removed into it, but no decision
has been arrived at as to the ultimate appropriation
of the latter. This additional Section
imposes further demands upon the care and
attention of the Meat Inspectors.
LEADENHALL MARKET.
There has been no change during the year
at Leadenhall Market, the daily inspection
of which is undertaken in rotation by one of
your officers.
I am informed that the staple trades of the
Market have been uniformly and increasingly
prosperous during the past year, but as no
tolls are taken the deliveries are not weighed,
consequently no figures are available. This is
to be regretted, as the enormous trade carried
on in the Section might furnish some interesting
comparative statistics in relation to similar
trade operations at the Western establishments
in Smithfield and Farringdon.
