HOW NEW YORK Is FED.

New York consumes more food in
proportion 10 its population than any
other city in the world. The average
New Yorker is very well fed both as
regards quality and quantity of food
consumed. II has been found that
trife more than 100000 pounds Of
butter are consumed every week in
New York, or about l 500 tons. New
Workers consume about 100000 quarts
Of milk every day in washing down
their food, This supply in the course
Of a year would more than fill the
Reservoir in Central Park. Last year
100000 tons of solid meat were con-
sumed, and during the same length q
time 1900 tons of tea We're brewed and
some 7,4o0. 600 gallons OF liquors were
consumed.

This idea was not substantiate as the

England, and the Paris and Berlin markets
resulted in gold shipments this week to the
amount of $500 900, raising the total since
the movement began carly in June to $751;

certain extent anticipated.
Speculative interests however, seemed to
consider it something TO discount, and the
activity of manipulative operators on the

that considerable short account had

but to q disposition to take advantage of
the prospective increase in the public's an
ticipation in the market The fact that
much better accounts of progress of crops
are nov heard was naturally CALCULATED to
diminish the bearish feeling which the
street had developed in the past month.
This. however, was much less effective as
speculative factor than the prospect of i'm
portant deals involving the Vanderbilt rail-
road properties. Rumors that something of
this kind would come out had been heard
for several weeks past, and 1t was thought
that the declaration of the semi-annual
dividend by the directors of the Lake Shore
and other companies would involve agreea-
BILE surprises.
But neither the semi-annual statements
nor the dividends of the Vanderbilt COM
panies bore out such anticipations and the
speculation was about to fall back on the
old story of a probable amalgamation of
the Union Pacific with the Vanderbilt sys-
tenn. AT this juncture came the statement
that propositions for the acquisition of the
Boston and Albany by the New York Gen.
trail had been formulated and practically
agreed on.

New York, June 3O-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:

ton remains apparently undated, and the

cial community contemplating very salts

ifesting a tone of cheerful confidence
garding the outlook for the last half of
1889. In the volume of business done the
first half of 1899 will certainly rank higher
than the best hitherto experienced, and the
notable rise in prices which was such
feature of the past spring has done much
to reconcile traders to the admittedly small
margins of profits which modern business
operations tend toward making permanent.
Touching this matter, it might be added
that staple prices to day are in a major
ity of instances well above quotations rul-
ing for some years past, the general Level,
in fact, keing the highest since early in
1893. In some instances, of course, iron
and steel for example, recent advances have
brought the level of prices well above any
thing reported since 1892, though it is to be
remarked that much of the business done
in that industry this spring was at old
levels, the most Sanguine observers in tnl3
line having failed to accurately guage the
real proportions of the late advances.
That the transportation interests have
shared to large degree in the business re-
sulting from several years of large crops
and active demand is proved by the cur
rent good returns, the best probably report
ed so far this year, indicating progressive
gain over all previous records for the six
months, Notwithstanding the steadily low

The iron trade, having finished the most
