of Necessaries.
It has probably occurred to everybody In
New York City, at one meal time or an
other, that the 4,200,000 Inhabitant of the
city must consume a mountain of food
every day.
They do. They tat a whole battleship
Not actually one of L'ncle Sam's first-class
sea fighters, but Its value In bread and
butter and other food.
A few daya before Christmas the Rev.
Madison C. Peters of Epiphany Baptist
church announced to his congregation that
New Tork City's annual bill for bear, wines
and f pints amounted to $3tt,000,000.
Just one million dollars for every day in
the year!
The minister's figures were founded on
the latest available statistics of what New
York drinks, and they may be regarded as
fairly accurate, no matter how startling
they seem.
New York, however, drinks other things
besides beer and wine. According to the
Year Book of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, each New Yorker
drinks on an average nine and one-quarter
gallons of coffee every year. This means
that about 113,93 pounds of coffee are
ground, boiled and consumed every day by
residents of the city. The actual quantity
used up in New York daily Is really much
greater than that, because allowance must
be made for the consumption In hotels,
where thousands of transient visitors are
fed.
High Flgarea.
We eat In one form on another about
4,000,000 strictly fresh eggs, fresh eggs and
Just eggs, every day. The United States
produces 10,000,000,000,000 eggs yearly, but
Greater New York does not get enough
of these to supply the local demand, so
Canada, Spain, Italy and even China have
to help us out. The Imported eggs amount
to 15,000.000 dozen yearly.
Notwithstanding the 14,078,29 pints of beer
consumed dally In the city. New Yorkers
alao manage to use up 345,000,000 gallons of
water, although, of course, not one-tenth
part of this Is used for drinking purposes.
With the advent of cooler weather house
holders are gradually cutting down their Ice
orders and reducing the consumption. But
the total average dally consumption of Ice
In New York Is 24,000 tons. Of this, the Ice
trust provides one-half and Independent
dealers the other half. Of the Independent
Ice, rather less than half Is artificial, while
thousands of tons to meet daily demand are
brought from up the Husdon and even
from Maine.
The supply of wheat required to sustain
the Inhabitants of the Borough of Man
hattan alone represents the product of a
well cultivated area many thousand times
the area of the island Itself. The people
of Manhattan consume more than 18,000,000
bushels of wheat a year, or almost 50,000
bushels a day. This is ground Into many
different forms of foods, but it by no means
represents the total consumption of foods
of that character.
Every twenty-four hours In New York
sees the consumption of 5,144,000 pounds of
flour, 200,000 pounds of yeast and 344,000
pounds of oatmeal and other cereal foods.
Dally Mountain of Meat.
The meat bill la pretty high, too. Here
are the figures of the total average daily
consumption of meat In the city: Beef,
7,428,000 pounds; mutton, 1,256,000 pounds;
lambs, 084,000 pounds; ham, 320.000 pounds;
pork, 512,000 pounds, and veal, 684,000 pounds.
This represents a large herd of cows, sheep
and pigs to bo slaughtered to supply New
York's dally demand for fresh and smoked
and preserved meats.
It should be understood, of course, that
the figures given for the beef, mutton and
other meat supplies are based on the actual
weight "on the hoof." Allowance must be
made for bones, suet and waste In deter
mining Ju.it how much of the enormous
meat supply is really eaten.
Reverting once more to the quantity of
liquors which New York drinks. It is in
tersstlng to note that In addition to 345,
000,000 gallons of water, 14.078.281 pints of
beer and 100,832 pints of wines and spirits
we also consume 1,256,000 quarts of milk
and 172.000 quarts of cream, irrespective of
hundreds of cans of the same In condensed.
powdered and tabloid forms.
We also manage to get away with an
average of 672,000 pints of ice-cream In the
course of every twenty-four hours.
Of chickens, geese, ducks, squab, turkeys
and fowl, generally Included under the
heading of game and poultry, a total of
3.428,000 pounds are required to meet New
York City's dally demand.
Our bill of fare for one day also Includes
1,400.000 pounds of potatoes, 2S4.000 pounds
of tongue. 4.2U0.0Q0 pounds of cabbages,
beans and other vegetables, 1,872,000 heads
of lettuce, 5.0u6.000 pounds of fresh and pre
served fruits, 24,000 casks of oysters, clams
and mussels, and 972.000 pounds of fresh.
dried and Imported fish.
Vast Importations of Vegetables
Nobody will dare to deny when confronted
with these statistics that New York lives
well.
We import millions of dollars worth of
vegetables every day. Every day hun
dreds of barrels of potato, s arrive on
steamships from abroad. Many of these
come from Scotland, but they are not con
sidered of as good quality as the home
grown article. Bermuda and the West
Indies send us very early potatoes. Many
squashes come from the Sandwich Islands.
Large quantities of lentils and Brussels
sprouts come in from Oormany.
Almost every vessel arriving from Algiers
bring us artichokes. The best frogs come
from Ontario, Canada, and so do the
choicest sheep found In the New York mar
kets.
We get large quantities of cheese, crack
ers, pickles, preserves and potted foods of
every kind from abroad. The West Indies
send vast shipments of early vegetablea aa
well as frulta
The enormous amount of vegetablea un
loaded from foreign vessels at New York
would astonish the average person who
Imagines that this country produces all we
need. All of the states, however, send

especially lettuce, tomatoes, cabbages, heels
and squashes. The best tomatoes are from
Philadelphia and Long Island. Most of our
eelory la raised In New Jersey, Kslumssoo
and 8taten Island. Orenter New York
hot houses supply us with the choicest of
our lettuce, carrots, egg plants and rad
ishes. Without being aware of the fact, the
average resident of New York City often
sits down to a meal that has been gathered
for him from practically all over the world.
In connection with what New York eats
and drinks It Is also interesting to con
sider what New York wastes.
It has been estimated that the total
amount of food actually allowed to go to
waste by the 4,000,000 Inhabitants of this
city during the last year would have been
sufficient to support a city of 00,000 people
for one whole year without working.
In every household doxens of slices, half
slices and perhaps only crusts of good
bread are allowed to go to waste every
week. Most of It Is considered too stale to
eat, and the housewife Is net satisfied to
use it up for her bread puddings.
Adding to the bread wasted tho many
pounds of flour that have been wasted, too,
the total for one year in New York City
would reach millions of one-pound loavej
of bread.
A great deal of water Is wasted In New
York every day. The statistics of the water
department show that during 1905 there was
an estimated waste of 456.255 tons of water.
You could float twenty first-class battle
ships In a body of water of that else.
EoorniODi Waste of Vegetables.
Probably there Is more waste in potatoes
than any other article of food. By the
time the peeling has been removed and
the eyes have been gouged out, the potato
Is not much more than half as big as it
originally was. Then, after the potatoes
have been cooked and served there is still
further, waste which the garbage can
claims. An estimated total of 12,000 pota
toes are wasted In the city every day, or
nearly four and one-half millions every
year.
In spite of the recent great scarcity of Ice
a considerable quantity of this necessary
household article was wasted. This was
due to defective refrigerators and the neg
lect to take proper care that the Ice did not
melt faster than It ought to. During the
past year probably 91,250 tons of Ice were
wasted In New York. This Is sufficient to
form one huge block large enough to con
tain the postofflce building at Park row
and Broadway.
New Yorker's use a great deal of tobac?o
and they waste almost as much as they
use. About ten tons of tobacco are wasted
every day In this city. This would be
enough In one year to fill the bowl of a
pipe as big ns the Flatlron building.
Rise In Cost of Living.
The principal reason why it costs $4,000
a day to supply the inhabitants and hotel
guests of greater New York with food and
drink is because the price of foodstuffs has
greatly increased. The following table
shows how wholesale prices on many staple
products have Increased during the past ten
years:

as house trade waa practically nothing,
while the previous week the visiting deal

couKr weather the grocery jobbers report
an Increase in the volume of their busi

adversely by the week of Ak-Sar-Hen. Ad

tha territory tell of excellent prospects
for a full and Winter business that will

are good.
Visitors at the Implement Jobbing houses
lout week were few. Trade la good In
wagons and wagon dumps, and the In
quiry Is good on corn shelters, engines and
hay prteses. Wagons are exceedingly
hard lo gel and are advancing In price.
One or two advances have been made, and
some of the houses have scheduled another
advance for November 1.

the prices wlrgs back and forth contin

weatner has caused an increase In tno
volume of business.
The local sugar situation remains un
changed. Late in the week the New York
market declined 10 pcltila, but this did not
anetel prices In the west, for the reason
that the markets here have been work.ng
on a lower basis for some time, buying
their sugar from the south and west.
Cheese continues to advance and the
price on Twins and Young Americas Is
to cent higher than a week ago.
jtancy brick cheese haa advanced a full

I for, as slocks are light and consumption

There lias been a slight reaction in

to be scaled down.
I'nder very active demand gallon blue
berries have advanced 'i or more above
the opening price. Two-pound Maine und
similar blueberries have also advanced Si
to 40 cents per dozen over the opening
price. Jobbers would not be surprised to
see a decided change in other two-pound
fruits, as they aje low compared with
gallons.
The oyster market Is very strong and
every cheap lot ia being quickly picked up.
New goods will comu on to the market at
from 16 to 25 cents per dozen above the
opening pricea of last season. Unless
UuKimore comes to tne rescue, nign prices
are bound to rule throughout this seioaun.
The nalo and consumption of aulmon Is
unusually heavy for Uils season of the year,
und Justly so for salmon is one of tha
cheapest food products on the market to
day. The dried fruit market continues very
active, but Jobbers are seriously handi
capped on account of the difficulty In
getting goods from the coast. It is almost
impossible for the California packers to
secure box material. Labels are coming
from the lithographers very slowly; cartons
are In verv IlKtit supply, und above all, It
is almost Impossible to obtain sufficient
labor to take care of the business presented.
As a result of these conditions, raisins
continue to advance. Most all packers are
marking prunes up from V to cent,
while apricots and peaches remain station-
ary.

lots are quickly sold. New Japs are oc

grade of goods.
Paints, Oils and Olaae.
The glass market remains firm and there
is every Indication that prices will advan
somewhat and remain tip for a long time.
There is a big demand for all kinds "f
glass because of the extensive building op
erations and a desire on the part of the
builders to have structures enclosed. Tur
