SODA WATER SHORT IN NEW YORK
Abnormal Demand ENhausts the
supply of CarbOnated Water.
lNeM " Ork SUM

UNIV lTWIIT
One of the effects of the last two days
OF hot weather was TO create an abnormal
demand for soda-water, aVd last night
some Of the largest retail dealers in this
line of beverages discovered that they
were in imminent danger of running out
of supplies of carbonated water, with no
stock TO draw upon in the hands Of whole
salers. There was a great hustling about
toward nightfall yesterday to keep up a
supply al the retail soda fountains. and
it was with difficulty that some of the
largest dealers got the prepared waters.
BY o'clock it was said that every cylin-
der Of carbonated water in the city was
in the retail stores and that there would
be none for use to-day unless the manu-
facturers kept men at work all night pre-
pairing it.
