steady and Strong.
On the wholesale streets yesterday the volume
of business in most lines is said to have been in
excess of that of any day In many years. Sell
dom, IL ever, were there more buyers in to look
stocks over, and some OF the buyers were sur
prised at the variety and immensely Of the
stocks wholesale men carry. One Of the stimu-
lants TO trade at the present time in most lines
OF trade is the proneness to the advance in rates
rather than declines. II the present time there
are but few articles that are not selling at high
er prices than a year ago, but the advance has
been so slight that they have not been felt by
the retail merchants very perceptibly. There
is more activity In the provision market and a
little more life In the -four market, with steady
and nrmer prices. The leather and the hide mar
ket both carry a hrmer tone than In some days
past. Poultry and eggs are very nrm at the adj
vance In the earlier part Of the week. Choice
fruit sells readily and at good prices. Commits
Irish potatoes are to sell at reasonable prices
through the fall and winter, despite the predic-
tion that there was to be a scarcity. Lemons are
scarce and selling at high figures But few
oranges are on the market. Bananas are plenti-
full and cheap.
The local grain market shows a little more life
this week. All cereals are in good request, prices,
as reported by the secretary OF the Board OF
Trade, on track ruling as follows:

It's simply amazing the number of trains

Since Its opening there has not been an
accident, although millions Of people have
passed beneath Its portals. The front of
the station is eight hundred feet wide. and
the side walls are 100 feet In length. There
are al trains operated In and out of the
station every day, and not one of them is
hauled between IL midnight and ) a. m. so
you can figure out the enormous work ac-
complished I'm the remaining nineteen hours.
The average Is one train every seventy-fye
seconds. There are twenty-eight tracks be-
meath the roof, and all the trains are oper-
ated by automatic signal and switch tow
ers. Elevated platforms are built between
fourteen OF the tracks, so as to facilitate
the exodus from and loading of trains.
