Our Food—How to Cheapen tt. ‘TO THE EDITOR OF THE IktaLD. ‘The rapid growth of the city of New York, irre- wpective and independently of its unrivalled omn- mercial position, has been greatly assisted by the wegular and cheap supplies furnished it of two im- Gispensable articles—water and fuel. It is not pos sible we could have attained our present numbers if ‘water was still sold by the pailful,as it was not many years since from the “ tea water pump;” or if English coal, or wood }rought hamdreds of miles from our vanishiug forests in the interior, were our only reliance to Keep ourselves warm €ering two- thirds of the year. ‘The Erie Camal unquestionably gave the great im- pulse to our prosperity, extending ovr water com- munication from Albany (for that ty the Mohawk beyond was scarcely worthy of the mame) to Buffalo and Detre®; and the population whtch had been one ‘hundred and sixty-nine years in reaching from 1,000 to 166089, then began its subsequent enormous strides. It was soon perceived, however, that to “meke this prosperity permanent a full sapply of Pare and wholesome water was necessary. maguctons the — to compliment men an triotic suggested, sustained bs Croton water system, and who began % with pure hands, without » stain upon their char ‘acter or motives: but if the city ever decrees statues ‘to its most meritorious citimens, it will be to those to ‘whens the inodloujahle blessing of pure and whele- some water are attributable. sie opening of the cos! mines ia Foamy pagent gs on er boon to New Werk. It gave an enormous impulse toour manuiactures, untimited wer to the steam engine, and comfort.and warmth the homes of the laboring classes. The capital em; ‘in apr y wy in this hae become rthan that of the shipping of port, by a diference. Tius water and fuel bave beth coutribated their mighty aid to build up this great city. “What else do we require to secure our asen dancy. The answer is simple—cheap and abunfiant It -is well knowm that the price of our feod is Wteadily increasing. Moderate salaries,and incomes formerly deemed ample, are no longer sufficient. This as'the excuse given to the public for the enermous ‘ancrease of official remuneretion which is constantly advocated and taking place in the City Hall, and which cannot well be rejected by the taxpayers, who experience the pressure of the prices of food in their -own families. It ie, indeed, the general excuse for thigh salaries. Cannot something be done to remedy state of things? | imagine there can, and with @ simple directness which invites an immediate attempt. Let us, bay first bear hash hagee the lation of the cit; now greatest in the upper Sarde, and that, in ‘not, ‘below Canal street it is com; tively amall. Next, that the configuration of the island is such as to impel its future increase “in the — Pca ag and also ee turn- ing point), t the transportation of “for our ndally constana from the lower tothe upper parte ot the city, is almost the chief cause of the high prices of food paid by uptown housekeepers. For example, it is cheaper to transport a barrel of flour from Rochester to New York, than to cart it from South #treet to Union square. And it is equally true that those living in ‘the neighborhood who are able to market at the Fulton and Washington markets, find a material difference in prices in their favor. On the contrary, it is well know that families in the most populous upper wards are charged by the re- tailer an exorbitant advance upen the down town prices. Thus for months after fleur had fallen se- ‘veral dollars a barrel ali through the country, and could be bought of uality at the wholesale stores down town at from 75 to.$6 per barrel, it ‘was still retailed up town at from 48 to $9, at which ice it remains. While anthracite coal can be ely in the lower part of the city for $4 30 per ton, at many of the upper yards ¢5 50 is stillasked, and ordinary consumers are obliged to pay it. It thus appears from these few examples, which illustrate the entire state of things, that the price of food is enhanced by local trans; tion in a very disproportionate degree, and this enters into ‘the price charged by the retailers every time an article of food passes from one dealear and place to another. And though we have twelve public mar- kets, the evil is irremediable without a change in ‘the system. The two t markets are the Washington and the Fulton. The wards in which they are situated are cements see Herwenno ge mth opgpetggr more Wi gest, are of course Tyee Pion bongs Bo Centre and the Jefferson are the next most important, and in many yespects more useful, for they can be reached by the Fourth and Sixth avenue railway. The Frankho ‘the Cutherine, the Clinton, the Essex, the Union and the Hariem, are useful only in a limited degree. The Tompkins is in progress of reconstruction on a libe- ral scale, and we trust it will be worthy of its loca- My suggestion then, is, as follows:—To reorganise the Whole market system, so as to secure to every ‘ward in the city a market house of the very best description. The new structures should be located so as expecially to accommodate the inhabitants respectively, and at points most accessible to the test number. Wherever practicable, they should Go iptoacs on or pear the lines of the city railways, enlca streets connecting with the East and North rivers. We might then expect to see the craft ‘usually engaged in bringing farm and garden truck, or fruit, fish, &c., lying at the wharves most conve- nient to these markets, thus greatly shortening the distance of city transportation, lessening the ‘expense to the consumers. Ye should then have twenty-two markets, of which twelve, if not more, would be new structures; and there is no doubt but’ an honest application of the rents of the stalls and cellars would not only the interest of the cost of construction, Bat produce asinking fund to extinguish the prin- cipa! of the cost. As our markets are now managed they are a downright swindle on the public—mere monopolies in the hands of favered parties. The receipts from them are very trifling, althe the Pag ES lini per 1 which they stand is ‘The Washington Fulton are estimated at hundred thousand dollars. As the business is now conducted the of market track have but little chance. have only two or three markets where they can readil, dispose of it. The forestallers first make them their prey; the up town dealers then add a cot ble advance, and by the time the consumer has pur- chased, a profit of from twenty to fifty per cent has been made at second and hands on most of the articles usually consumed in respectable families. Vegetables of all kinds, fish, hams, tongues, eggs, foreign fruits, cranges, lemons, bananas, piveapples, are all admirably adapted to the operations of the speculators. | have known a difference of three hundred per cent on some of these articles on the ame day, according to the locality where they were offered for sale. A good = of markets would upect all this extortion. If we can have but one party between the prodocer and consumer, we may easily save twenty per cent in the expense of our food, and this saving would soon be perceptible in the im- d condition of many hundreds, nay thousands, of families, who now find themselves sorely pinched ‘to meet the daily outlay for food alone. It is the habit of some dealers up town to lay in mal! daily stocks from the lower markets, a1 ‘they sell off to their customers to raive the price on what remains, under the plea of scarcity. A good market in such a neighborhood would indeed be a iy In at, we want twenty-two first class markets, swith all the modern improvements, the old ones to be reconstructed, to have them placed in the very best positions in each ward tor the public accommo- dation, and properly controlled ana regulated. The farmers of Jersey could sell their products at one ge ,of Long Island, at another, and of Westches- another. These would only through one Anand to the consumer, and thus the intermediate prices would be redaced. We shall then have pure ‘water and cheap fuel and food and the laboring classes would be in a far better condition than the: now are.
