70 strlke to-day. The police say the af.
fair fell through.
Interest in the great strikes appear to
increase rather than decrease. Through
out the city the matter has now assumed
proportions which seem likely to affect
every man in greater or less degree
and has become the one question Of the
hour, which is discussed IL all places OF
public resort. There is very general
conviction in New York that the police
and military are quite strong enough to
quell any attempt 70 repeat the disorders

with such disastrous consequences else.

the police force, which has, on several
previous occasions, proved its temper
and its courage.
The interruption Of railroad commu-
nication has seriously affected the pro-
vision market. In few days, if the con-
dltion of affairs docs not improve, New
York will be without meat, and our cti-
zens will be compelled involuntarily to
adopt vegetarian dict. There is as yet
no advance liz the retail prices of meat,
but retail dealers are already beginning
to suffer, as Wholesale dealers have ad-
vanced their prices. An abundant srp.
ply of meat can be shipped 20 this city
within twenty-four hours of the resump-
tion Of traffic upon the railroa3;. There
is very arge supply of butter in market,
although there is scarcity of the very
finest grades. There is an abundance Of
dried meats for future consumption.
Other branches Of business are of
course affected by the failure of transpor-
tation.. The grocery, metal, hide, lcath-
eer, and wool trades, and all produce mar
kets are suffering. The general stagna-
ton of business is proved by the appear
ance of Broadway, which to-day is com
paratively quiet and empty.
President Sloan, of the Delaware
Lac :awana and Western road has issued
the following:
"Owing to the unsettled condition of
transportation the coal call of 10000
tons advertised for, this day is Indefinitely
postponed"
