I never would havp haA The most modern market building in the United States will be formally opened this evening on the block bounded on the north by Twelfth, on the south by Eleventh, on the east by Harrison and on the west by Webster streets in this city. The structure has been erected at a cost of $90,000 by Mrs. F. M. Smith.

This expenditure, however, does not include the value of the ground. The demand for a structure of this kind in Oakland has existed for a number of years, but the granting of it was prevented by the tenacity with which the owners clung to a worm-eaten old building, which, for years stood on the northeast corner of Eleventh and Washington streets, in which many of the commission firms of this city had been established, and which, they felt, they could not leave save in a body without injuring their Individual business. END OF OLD MARKET. The old structure has, however, been, razed to the ground, thus necessitating the selection of another general resert in which people in the produce and commission, line could -concentrate their business and, at the same time, satisfy their patrons in all parts of the city. As a consequence, practically every down-town commission merchant and produce dealer of this city is now located in this new Produce Exchange.

There are forty-six stores in the' building, and, of these, forty are (Occupied. The appearance of these places of business is modern in every respect, and is in keeping with the systematic method devised for the conduct of business and the modern appliances which are everywhere visibe. NEW STRUCTURE. The building is one slbry in height, is built of wood, and contains; about one million feet of lumber. Stores front on the four streets which bound the building.

Through the middle of the Exchange, from east to west, runs a court forty feet in width. Upon this court, the stores which front on Eleventh and Twelfth streets have a view through large plate-glass windows and openings. By means of the court, goods may be left at the various stores or may there be put upon wagons for home delivery. By means of this court, too, customers in carriages may be served without leaving thei- vehicles, a convenience heretofore unknown and which will be especially appreciated in tempestuous weather. COLD STORAGE.

The sidewalks are new and level and extend from Jot line to the curb. Over these walks, is a broad, overhanging porch which extends around the. building protecting goods in display, from the' heat of summer and the" rain of winter. Each store is, at all times, open to fresh air by means of tall, iron gates which are made strong and ornate. This is qf incalculable advantage to stores tft which products of a perishable character, such as vegeta my baby if it had not been for your advice and medicine.

THE OLDEST COMMISSION HOUSE IN ALAMEDA COUNTY. KNEW THE PEOPLE'S NEED. Mr. Chales Heatly has apprehended the need of those attending these produce exchanges and has taken time by the forelock. A more cleanly and artistic tea BOGUS INSPECTOR! and coffee booth can not be found' in the State.

The Oakland Fruit and "Produce Company are now settled in their new home in the Produce Exchange building, 314 and 316 Eleventh street. More than a quarter of a century ago Messrs. D.

H. Porter, A. W. Porter and Mr. Wing at that time in the employ of Mr.

C. R. Lewis on Broadway, formed a co-partnership, under the firm name of Porter Brothers and Wing and opened the first wholesale and retail fruit, produce, poultry and game business on the north side of Eleventh street between Broadway and Washington streets. A few years later Mr. Wing retired from the firm and cast his lot in the East.

The business was then carried on under the firm name of Porter Brothers Company until about 1880 when they were succeeded by Messrs.

utmost, playing games, and about midday a large lunch was spread, each one having come well stocked with provisions. Pipes run from the plant to each of the stores which keep the several refrigerators at the required cold temperature without the direct handling or the annoyance of the shifting of ice. There are also facilities for the manufacture of ice, the plant having p. capacity of 67 tons daily. FIRE-PROOF.

The structure has been made practically fire-proof by the use of what Is known as cold water paint and the covering of the roof with what-, is styled elaterlte, a fire-proof material which is manufactured in this eity and which will be able to negative the effects of any burning brand which may fall upon it from a surrounding conflagration. The building is designed by architect A. W. Smith. In it, is a suggestion of mission architecture, though thia has been modernized in a manner which gives it, on the whole a very attractive appearance.

NOT A FREE MARKET. In many large cities there are what Is called "free markets" and "public In time, these places become objectionable by reason of the suggestion of hidden refuse or by apparent lack of cleanliness, which frequently deters people with sensitive faculties from even frequenting much lei patronizing them. This exchange, however, is not a free market, nor is it in the sense which obtains in the East, a public market. It is simply a collection of business houses doing business in various lines -MM In the guise of a sanitary inspector, there is an unknown man going about town visiting residences under the pretense of examining the plumbing and sanitary, conditions, while his real object is to rob the premises of anything that might come under his notice of any value. The police have been informed of his presence and operations, bat so far have been unable to apprehend him.

It Is upon good authority, that the bogus sanitary inspector has taken article? of valtfe from at least residences, the majority being im jjKorth Oakland, althought he has visited East Oakland and the Lakeside district.

When a laxativq is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers.

Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and wbwh cleanses jjthe system effectually, withput producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and. when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs. its quality is due not only to the 'excellence of the combination of the laxative plant? with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits!

The Bacon Land and Loan Company. The Oakland Fruit Produce Company have during all these years enjoyed a very large trade in Oakland Alameda and Berkeley, as well as a shipping business all through the State. For several years they have been running daily boats on the Sacramento River during the fruit season, bringing large quantities of fruits of all kinds to this market and landing at City Wharf, foot of "Webster street. They now bring ail their bananas direct from New Orleans in car lots. The Oakland Fruit and Produce Company is known by every man, woman and child in Alameda County as one of the most reliable houses doing business in the county.
