In the third block down we have "Dumb Wonder" selling beef again and "Valentine Stahl" supplying butter, eggs and milk. 

The above scan  -  Page 8, bottom, May 13th, 18th and 19th, 1830

No new surnames on the bottom of page 8. There are some interesting figures though: In the top block Jacob Wolf was paid $14.32 for 179 bushels of coal, (8 cents a bushel). Also, the labor rate was 50 cents a day, Henry Felty, paid $2.00 for four days work, both James Riley and Hugh Keenan, (third block down) were paid $5.75 for 11 1/2 days work at 50 cents a day.
