The Eagle sometime ago made edi-
torial reference to the price cotton
was bringing in Germany and the
price being paid here. Also to the
cost Of transportation to Germany,
showing the vast profit to the shipper,
and how the farmer who raised the
cotton was being held up and robbed.
Today we publish in our news columns
the cold facts which show that cotton
is selling in Germany at 20 cents a
pound, leaving the shipper a net rpoft
of cents pound, or S45 a bale. This
profit is net afted deducting all trans.
portation and other charges. One

NEW YoRK's GREAT MARKET.
The Largest Wholesale Place Of lie
Kind In the World.

The Largest Wholesale Place Of lts
Kind In the World.
The great market centers of the
big cities of the world, like Smith
field market, in London, for exam
pie, have been much written about
and often pictured. What is prob
ably the largest wholesale market
center in the world is perhaps not
so we'll known. By name it is ia
nous, but not many people know
much in detail concerning its loca-
ton or facilities.
West Washington and Gansevoort
markets form together the largest
wholesale market in the world. Lo-
Gated in New York city on the
North river between Gansevoort,
Little West Twelfth street, Bloom
field street, Washington street and
Thirteenth avenue, the market Gov
ers more than four large city blocks,
with an area of more than seven
acres.
The part of the market known
as West Washington market con-
sists of ten three story buildings,
each 1856 feet long by fifty-one feet
wide. It is intersected by four
avenues running east and west,
each thirty-two feet wide, and one
avenue running north and south Of
the same width.
To the north and to the south Of
the market are the steamship and
railroad docks, at which all Of the
food supplies of New York city are
received.
On the west the market faces
three large open piers under the
control of the New York city dock
department, at which merchandise
of all kinds may be unloaded from
the ships of commerce.
On the east, between it and Gan
sevoort market, runs the seventy
foot marginal way, the great thor
oughfare running along the docks
of the river front, which presents
at all hours of the day the busiest
scene of traffic in New York city.
The New York Central has its
tracks on this marginal way, run
ming from it's main line in the north
of the city to st. Johns park, its
large terminal a short distance be-
low. Spurs from these lines run
into the market, permitting the un-
loading of cars direct to the COM
mission mems refrigerators.
The buildings Of this market are
devoted to the use of the commits
sion men and dealers. Beef, NUT
ton, veal, poultry, produce and
fruits of all kinds are dealt in. Each
man has his own refrigerator. The
refrigerators range from 1000 Gu
bic feet to $4,000 cubic feet of re-
frigerated space. Refrigeration for
these boxes is furnished by the pipe
line system of the Manhattan Re-
frigerating company, whose plant is
located opposite the market.-Na
