IN NEW YORK, roo.

New York, Dec 13. Nearly seven inches of snow which had fallen in this city up to this forenoon gave the street railway companies their first real winter experience of the year. In no part of tic city was traffic serious ly blocked. but all lfnes were lnn- ming practically without regard to schedule, all efforts being directed toward making the best possible time. As usual, conditions were worse in the outlying sections where the snow had drifted into cuts, making travel of all kinds difficult. Tn the city proper tho sidewalks were covered to a depth of several inches with heavy snow and slush and pedestrians Gs- perienced great discomfort.
 Following the intense cold of Sat. urday and Sunday the temperature has risen gradually during the storm and the lowest point reached by the mercury during the night was 25 do. grees above zero,
