a machine of food for its bixandaquarter million inhabitants from every counts in the kingdom and from evercountgk on tho globe flows in avefeam of eaay on a sarifavvast as to be auftvt in conceivable v in an average your over 4000 eacks of flour and 500000 quart ers of wheat come in by rail and cca onesixth from our own lands about onosixth from canada aus tralia and other colonics and four- fitxths chiefly from the united stat es russia and india enough of this is retained in london to make close on 2000uuo000 pounds of broad giving about 320 pounds to i very man woman and child ni to grind tho wheat london has 1509 millers and millhands while thero are 13522 bread biscuit and cakemakers and 11516 sellers of bread and confectionery it is said that 2 pounds of bread per day is suillcicnt to support life and consequently these two thousand million pounds constitute nearly half of londons food but quite as important is meat the musclemaker only onethird of the meat used in london is homegrown each year wo increase our dependenco on for eign countries licet wo get from the united states argentina queens land and new zealand mutton from new zealand new south wales argentina andholand bacon from canada the united states and den mark australia sends 10000 and belgium 4000 tons of rabbits while most of the foreign poultry comes from the northern ports of russia london moat kill altogether london recoives alive or dead 9000000 cwt or 1008- 000000 lbs beef is the largest item amounting to 4000000 cwt mutton and lamb the noxt totalling 8400000 cwt while tho remaining 1600000 cwt are made upof ba con pork hams rabbits poultry and game if all this meat wore consumed in london every inhabitant would have 160 lbs per annum but much of it la distributed to the provinces so that londons real consumption is about 125 lbs per head equal to 782000000 lbs for greater london to deal with the supply of cattle ahccgfid dead meat london has curcrs 14567 butchers 6422 pro vision dealers as well as 185 cattle cheep and pl salesmen and 316 drovers thtso are tio figures of tho county of london only of fish the supply is immense at bilungigato market over 180000 tons or 403200000 lbs are dis posed of in a year shad well deals with seventeen or eighteen thousand tons and a large quantity ia sold by salesmen by private contract then thero is tho freshwater fish some twenty thousand hundred weight of salmon principally from scotland and ireland being sold at billingsgate and large quantities otherwise disposed of thero aro thirtysix million oysters from whlt- stoile burham and southend and ten or more millions of foreign oys ters and thero is a vast quantity of tinned salmon sardines etc to bo added totalling up all sorts of fish it is found that londoners cat 75 lbs per head which is onul ts afloo00o0t3 the camels bead where the camels head goes his body follows cays an oriental proverb its the same way with disease a small opening will give it an

poultrydealers and several thousand costermongers carriers porters etc rrodnc f 750000 cow tho milk of 245000 cows is con sumed in london and if we add thq cheese and butter to this probably london takes tho produce of three quarters of a million milch cows one third of a pint of milk per day seems a rather smalt quantity for each in habitant but multiplied by 365 and then by the population it amounts to the enormous quantity of 88- 000000 gallons this includes the 50000000 gallons we get by rail from the home and midland counties the 1000000 gallons that comes by road from tho surrounding country tho 8000000 gallons drawn from londons own cows and tho vast quantity of condensed milk which comes principally from switzerland 4iuttcr london consumes 94 00000tlbs a year which gives every mauv woman and child 15 lbs twothirds of an ounce per day with tho exyuon of tho condensed variety all ovr milk comes from knglish cows ut of butter london gets 90 per cents from foreign coun triesdenmark normandy austra lia canada the unvted states and the argentine republic cheese shows a belter complexion for six of the twelvd pounds which londoners eat per hwd la made at home the other six jpounds come mainly from canad anal the united states but the highcrclfitsj cheeses gorgonzola camembert brtt etc come from the continent the fsntal consumption of cheese in londonnjs 75000000 lbs theri there is margarine of whlch it is estimated that london people eat 5 lbs per head in its own name with probably us much moro under the name of dorset or brittany but ter say 60000000 lbs total con sumption eat bluus etc the number of eggs eaten is not ascertainable kach londoner is sup plied with 80 eggs by russia ger many belgium france denmark and canada but what numbers come in from our own farms is un known if we put it at 80 more then the total consumption of eggs is 1000000000 placed end to end they would circle tho globe nearly three times the thousands of tons of vege tables consumed are incalculable at least 160 lbs of potatoes are eaten per head or a total of 1000000- 000 lbs most of which como from cambridge huntingdon and lin colnshire over a million bushels of foreign- onions are discharged at tho port of london but all are not kept for consumption if wo add the cabbages turnips carrots beetroot peas cauliflowers artichokes etc probably not far short of one million tons of vegetable food is eaten or wasted in london of apples oranges lemons grapes luitjwrjrrtlsjnk currants outfl and other fruits 2257000 tons are im ported into london besides the immense home supply lastly there is sugar of which london consumes 600000000 lbs tea which it uses to tho amount of 38000000 lbs coffee 6000000 lbs and cocoa 7000000 lbs and for the disposal of theso and other similar foods wo have 486 sugar refiners 4758 jam and sweet- makers 939 cocoa and chocolate- makers 1259 makers of vinegar mustard pickles etc and 18123 grocers taking men women and children
