"The iron was contracted for last spring

down to sustain the prices. Those who do
not know anything about the business imagine
that 1t is in every instance from lack OF funds.

say that they average IRON So to 81 per day. All

WHAT 1T COSTS TO LIVE.

A Trip Among the Marketmen-The Com
parativc Prices OF Meats Ind Vegetables
Before the Panic and at Present-Dun
Trade, but No Reduction of Prices.
Has the panic affected the prices Of meats This
is indeed an important question, and millions are
interested in the answer. A HERALD reporter
went yesterday through Washington and Fulton
Markets, and elected some valuable information
on this point. He found that trade was generally
reported as being dull. However, most of the
dealers said that the panic had not much to do
with it, that the prices OF meat game, fish, vege
tables, &C, were regulated now as before by the
laws OF supply and demand. MIR. Kettelman, the
Clerk OF Washington Market said good beef and
veal were as dear now as they were eight weeks
ago. and the only reduction was in inferior Texas
beef, Of which great deal had been received here
OF late. The present prices said other Dealers
could compare favorably with those Of last year.
Butter and cheese, and many kinds OF fish, poultry
game and vegetables, were higher now than they
were before the panic, but provisions were gen.
orally lower. The following is list Of the retail
prices which prevailed before the panic and which

NEW YORK HERALD WEDNESDAY

found IL dinncult TO get at facts. Some
who probably know most we're unwilling to give
the public their information, and others were
evidently inclined to exaggeration OF statement.
He found however. from data which may be con-
sidered as reliable that the brickayers on strike
number just now about $500 men. There are also
the 500 cigar makers and the horsesnoers who are
resisting the reduction OF fifty cents per day,
which had been agreed to by their bosses. who
resolved after November ! to pay only So 30 per
day instead OF $4. These latter number about
$50 society men, being half the whole number OF
horsesh0ers in the city. Thus we have in the
horseshoers about $3.50 men striking. This Is only
the small dust OF the army OF industry now COM
pulsorily idle, which must reach nearly $4,000
persons.
No statement in detail could be made OF the
funds the books oil the several trades unions for
the support OF men while idle on strike. Possibly
some portions OF these funds may be locked up in
suspended banks, as were those OF the Printers
Union in the deiunct Market Savings Bank, when
Its oicals absorbed it's deposits and lost them in
Wall street. Even II the union funds are all in SOL
vent banks 1t is not reasonable to suppose that
the richest OF the labor organizations nave enough

for term OF months. very few weeks distribu-
tion would clear out the treasures, and then the
members are IN no better position TO resist the
exactions OF the bosses than they are to-day.
CAN THE STRIKES CONTINUE ?
There are both horseshOers and brlcklayers in
the city not connected with the unions who will be
glad TO replace the strikers. Bosses would, as
general thing, prefer employing the men with
gers, and will probably Tor some time mold the work
open for the old hands and take them back should
they get enough OF the strike IN week or two No
positive good can result TO the strikers in contest
IN which they cannot conquer, and, therefore, 1t s
likely that the end OF the present strikes viii be
the conclusion OF the workmen to take the best
wages and terms they can make till a better
opportunity.

THE PROSPECT IN wEsTCHEsTER
Short Time and Reduced Wages Among
the Operatives at YOnkers-A Hopeful
Prospect Ahead.


Although the interests OF westchester county
are at present more closely allied with agricul-
tural than with commercial pursuits yet there are
many thriving manufactures within its borders,
furnishing work and bread for thousands, which 1t
would be unreasonable TO expect were not more or
less affected by the financial arrangement now par
alyzlng the efforts of honest industry in various
portions OF the country The city OF Yonkers Is the
main manufacturing centre OF the county, employ
ing in Its various factories and workshops nearly
5000 operatives. visit to some Of the largest Of
these establishments was made yesterday py a
HERALD representative, when 1t was ascertained
that the recent panic had not as yet materially
affected their business. 1t is true that some OF the
factories have been compelled to run on short
time, and in addition to this reduce the wages OF
the employees; yet on the whole, YOnkers presents
none Of the gloomy indications OF distressing
winter among It's working classes. which are un
fortunately noticeable in other suburban cities.
The Warlng Manufacturing Company, which
usually employs about 500 hands in the manuiac-
ture Of hats, have had their factory closed
altogether for a week past. This is gen.
orally the season, however, when they suspend
operations for a few weeks in order to repair ma
chinery, take stock and otherwise prepare Tor the
spring trade 1t is expected that work VIII be re-
sumed in day or so, when not more than half
the operatives will be employed, and many OF these
at q reduction OF about ten per cent in their
wages. In the hat factory Of Baldwin & Flagg,
which gives employment to nearly 800 hands, work
mas Deen SLACK LOT Lne past Two weeks, the
operatives in some Of the departments working
only two or three days out OF the six. In q con.
versation with the writer Mr.. Ethan Flagg ex-
and considered the prospects encouraging for re-
suming full work before the close of the year.
This, however, will depend altogether on the
state OF the money market in New York. This
firm has not as yet thought 1t expedient to reduce
the wages OF their operatives. AT the foundry OF
Otis Brothers, employing about l50 men. notice
was given last Saturday that a reduction Of two

Financial Embarrassment OF the Cali

Over $500, 900 or It's Paper Gone to

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. A, 1873
late edition OF the Ecenfa0 Telegraph says
There were rumors on the street this after
noon that the California and Texas Construc-
tion Company, which is engaged in build
ing, by contract, the Texas Pacific Railroad,
was embarrassed. On inquiry in official circles
the following statement OF the case was OBJ
tained:-The California and Texas Construction
Company was unable to meet all its paper matur-
ing to-day. The present financial condition OF the
country has rendered it impossible for the company
to realize ready cash on its assets, although they
are very largely In excess OF its liabilities 1t is
hoped that an Improvement OF the financial condi-
restoration OF confidence and the construction OF
the line over $2O0,0 600 OF its paper-most Of 1t
endorsed by prominent stockholders-went TO
the liabilities OF the Construction Company are
reported at 81, ,500o0 in notes varousy endorsed,
all maturing within ninety days-Sl, 600, 900 OF
loans on collateras and individual security,
100000 OF unsecured Obligations in the shape OF
drafts, and $3.50 900 Of floating debt amounting in
all, to nearly $1,000, 900 This amount, with over
$4,oooooo OF cash paid in on the stock Of the Con-
structon Company, has been expended, under
careful management, in the construction OF the
Texas Pacific Railroad, and there are 800 miles OF
the road completed equipped and in operation,
ana ABOUT lou miles auultl0nal graded,
brdged and ready for the iron. The resources OF
the Construction Company consist of $4,000
per mile OF completed road OF first mortgage bonds
OF the railroad company, secured by a lien on the
railroad, Its equipment franchises and /, 600 acres
OF land per mile, granted by the State OF Texas;
over 81 0000 600 OF unpaid construction stock, most
OF which will be promptly paid, and private prop
erty OF individual endorsers, which is very large.
1t Is believed that the creditors, most OF whom
hold large amounts, will speedily arrange for an
extension OF the liabilities OF the company so as
to give time to realize money without the ruinous
sacrifices required by the present stringency OF
the times.

MEAT. POULTRY AND GAME.

The poultry dealers said that the prices for
poultry we're as high as they had been at any time
for the last three years, but that the consumption
was a trlne smaller than 1t was last year. The
trade was somewhat dull which, they thought was
partially owing to the panic. Another cause Of the
depression in the poultry trade was the unusually
warm weather in October. The decline in the
price OF some kinds of game, pigeons for
instance, was owing to the fact that Otner game
was brought into the market and was being bought
in large quantities.
FISH.
The fish dealers said that business was very good
indeed. They elt the general depression in the
first week after the panic, but now the prices were
fully as high as they were before the panic, and in
some kinds Of fish they were even higher. The fish
trade was generally better in the summer, for, at
this time, people preferred to eat pork chops
steaks, &c. 1t is comfort to know, at least, that
people do not eat less fish IN consequence OF the
panic

Mr.. Watson stated to the reporter that the chair
market was not overstocked Still the men en-

none OF them had been discharged SO far. Their
business had fallen on since the commencement OF
the panic, but their stock on hand was about the
same as that OF the corresponding period last
year. OF course, II the present financial troubles
continue, said Mr.. Watson, there would necessarily
follow reduction OF wages in their business as
well as In any other. Their workmen were paid by
time the chair business was generally dull, and the
ensuing winter would be worse than usual on ac-
count OF the financial prOstration. The firm en-
pl0yed about 100 men. Nearly all the other chair
manufacturers were, as lar as lie knew, working
their men on reduced time. He has not heard OF
any proposition to reduce wages. Many of the
workingmen employed were members OF trades
