The great FIRE Ia New Yuk Inst winter
Is justly said 10 have had no s7nat influence
in pruducing The pressure fr money ihal
now wring hemerchan,s Of that CITY The
loss by that melancholy event is "a.
rious,y estimated at from ten tn twenty mil

If those which were burnt, have cost fully
twenty millinnS-l sun that coud not be
abstracted from the ucliye capital Of com.
merce without being tho occasion Of more
embarrassment TO individuals aud conse-
quently to the public
A writer in the Albany Argus assigns
another and more ctToculal cause Of the
commercial emblrrassmen;s in New York,
than even the great ire--a cause which
has been often alluded TO, but never before
described wi h accuracy and exlctness.
The prices Of lands I'D at auction in the
city of New York in the year 1885, amlunt-
cd to SIS, ,G0l-in 1885, to So, ,2S7,-
273-iOtal in two years, upwards of $685.
O00,000. Tbs sum includes merely lands
sold at public auction, and hrs NJ reference
to real estate disposed of at private sale,
which mus: have amounted to at least as
much more. Here, then, including the
twenty millions cut off by the fire, are nine
ty two millions of dollars mken-mt uf clm-
mcrco in one city in the course of Two years
And in the same two years the inportation>
of Foreign merchandise in the u. S;ates
were Increased sixty-fonr millions!
These flc's Of themselves would sufi"e
to account for al! the embarrassments, ditfi-
culties and distress that succeeded. But in
addition to these causes, we have the un-
heard Of fand unparalleled growth of luxury
in the Esame space ot time. 1t appeared a
the suIe of the furniture of one Of the rag
aabob in New York after his failure. that
he had paid five hundred pounds sterling
for one hcdStoad, If to this, We add one
i@hrIh for duties and olher indjspcns bic
charges, We have the sum Of three thousand
dollars paid for a single article of furniture,
a sum which the ancestor of the foolish
bankrupt who bought it, would have thought
sufficient to furnish the houses of halfa do
zen better men,,
This is sample oftbc wild extravaganza
that porvaded society in that emporium of
commerce and asylum Of luxury and folly.
A system like this, based upon paper buh-
be, was liable to sink the slightest shock.
The shock has assailed i, and we see and
hear the consequences.--N. D. Bee.
