The New YORK sun says the result of the ccc.

upas follows The electric light has not yet

The city has, therefore the choice, for the same
price. between one electric light and u little
more than fourteen gas lamps, while the larger
iormity of the light they yield render them more
desirable than the one electric lamp"
The rapid growth Of the city ,of New York Is
Indicated by tho ratio In which the records have
multiplied For instance, the 800 volumes OF
conveyanoes were filled IN 1852 this being 1850
years nom the date of the first recorded deed.
In fifteen years, however Qsisl, tho number OF
volumes had increased TO 6OO. In nineteen years
atcrward QS6O tho number had increased 10
1000 being at the rate OF nearly twcnty-clght
per year. During tho next six years
bringing the date I, ls7S) tho csnvoyances
were at the rate of liily volumes per year
bringing the entire number IN 1880. The panic
OF 1873 was severely felt In the real estate mar.
ket especially rs u WAS followed by seveny years
OF shrinkngc during which property could only
DO sold at n decline This condition of the mar.
ket explains the iact that during the next nLnc
years bringing the date to 1889 the increase is
but little more lhNn during the previous six
years. The precise figures are 49,, being at the
rate of thirty .ninc voumesa year and this brings
the entire number mp TO l65,.
