RAINFALL AND WATER SUPPLY.
THE DEMAND DECREASED. But LITTLE ADDED
TO TIE REsERvOIR sTORAGE.

THE DEMAND DECREASED. But LITTLE ADDED
TO THE RESERVOIR STORAGE
The water is rising in the reservoirs OF the dif-
ferent boroughs as a result OF the recent rainfall
In the Borough OF Manhattan there has been rise
OF three inches, and in The Bronx and in Brooklyn
OF Two inches. IN commenting upon this increase
Chief Engineer BirdsaH said yesterday:
This increase has not come alone from the rain.
Because Of the recent dry spell the stored waters
without the city have been drawn upon TO a con-
siderable extent This be seen BY comparing
a three-inch rise in Manhattan there only
Two and one-half inches OF rain: with the inch
rise in Brooklyn there was one and slx-Jenths
inches OF rain
But the very fact that we able 10 draw upon
stored water fast enough TO overcome the drain
upon these reservoirs shows that the rain has
greatly lessened the demand for water These
showers therefore, have resulted more in curtins
down the eXtravagant consumption OF water than
in increa sing its supply. They came TOO gently for
any great amount 10 run on into the streams
Nevertheless. they have freshened the lawns so
that il is no longer necessary for people 20 use
their sprinkers. Il has washed the cutters and
sewers that extra water fer flushing Is not so
urgently needed II has also cooled the air, so
that tenants do not draw freely on their hy-
drauts for bathing and drinking purposes should
say that one good shower saves about five million
gallons
Relief has also been afforded to the drouth
stricken families OF The Bronx, at one time there
were H. 900 who were cut of from a regular wafer
supply.

Mortimer H. Wagar. president OF the Consoli-

ayers OF the Produce Exchange for the purpose
Of ascertaining just what the situation was with
regard 10 the distribution Of grain quotations
after July 81 As has already been explained in
these columns unless settlement IS effected be-
tween the Chicago Board Of Trade and the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph companies. the
latter will refuse 10 report the Chicago grain
prices after the end Of this month. The committee
OF Information and Statistics OF the New-Yo
Produce Exchange is planning 70 take advantage
OF the opportunity draw wider attention 20 the
New-Tort grain market. by substituting its own
prices for those OF Chicago Although the result
OF Mr. Wagars consultation with the authorities
Of the Produce Exchange could not be learned. II
Is practically certain that the telegraph companies
will not accede the terms which the Chicago
Board OF Trade proposes regarding the sending out
Of market prices. and that beginning August I
