NicKELs ARE pEsPIsED.
Street Vendors who Sell Nothing Less
Than q Dimes Worth.

Than o Dimes Worth.
There are many stories n this city
where a nickel is not a welcome me-
dunn of exchange, because nothing SO
cheap is sold, but ii is hard to believe
that there is a street stand which
would not welcome a five-cent pur-
chase. If any one is curious in this re-
gard let him go to one of the fruit
stands in Cortlandt street, near the
Pennsylvania railroad ferry, and try
to make such a purchase, says the New
York Tribune. Let me have five cents
worth of cherries" said man the
other day, pointing to loose pile OF
the little red fruit. "As much as all
that" exclaimed the street merchant,
and not for single minute did he
cease busting a bunch of bananas. The
intending purchaser waited moment,
then crossed the street and repeated
his request to another stand. Well
you're a cheap one!" exclaimed the
yender. You want to spend whole
nickel do you?" He did not stop sort
ing oranges. The man who longed FOL
cherries tried a third stand. We
can't sell you less than dimes wortf
of anything at these stands" replied
the man in charge. You'll find an Ital
ian up the street who will take thu
lead money. The cheap man decided
he didn't want cherries after all. and
going into cigar store, bought
whole bunch of cigarettes with tn
money.

GROWTH OF COKE INDUSTRY.
A report on the growth and present
condition of coke manufacture has
been issued by the census office, says
the Black Diamond. The report says
the manufacture of coke Is compare
lively new industry in this country. In
1850 the value of coke produced was
sl5.250, while in 1899 1t was 1885,
445, including by-products amounting
to 1852 ,027 in value, or an increase of
over 100 per cent in ten years, from
1889 TO 1899. This extraordinary
growth OF the coke industry has only
kept pace with the growth Of the iron
manufacture.
According to the report the modern
tendency of industry TO concentrate in
a comparatively small number of es-
tablishents is strikingly exemplified in
the coke industry. where there Is an
increase of only lo.6 per cent in the
! number of establishments reported, as
compared with 1889, while the increase
in tons of coke produced is 96.2 pei
cent and in the value of all products
| ll5T per cent.
A capital OF S6.5O2.6 $40 has been in
vested in the manufacture of the prod
uct The value of the output was $685..
5S5. 445, to produce which involved al
outlay Of s7.0S5,736 for wages. s19.
Sos, 532 for raw materials and S2,1S4,
96S for miscellaneous expenses.
Pennsylvania leads the six chic
producing states, with 26,92o ovens il
operation and an output of 1S,245.59
tons of coke out Of total OF 1880,
7sS tons, or GA per cent of the tota
output.
