the total consumed in London, as large quantities of meat in carcasses, particularly pork, are daily brought from the counties round the metropolis. The total value of the cattle sold in Smithfield is calculated at 8,500,000l.; it is supposed that a million a-year is expended in fruits and vegetables. The consumption of wheat amounts to a million of quarters annually; of which fourfifths are supposed to be made into bread, being a consumption of 64 millions of quartern loaves every year in the metropolis alone. An advance of one farthing on the quartern loaf, forms an aggregate increase, in expense for this article alone, of upwards of 13,000l. per week. The annual consumption of butter in London amounts to about 11,000, and that of cheese to 13,000 tons. The money paid annually for milk is supposed to amount to 1,250,000l. The quan tity of poultry annually consumed in London is supposed to cost between 70,000l. and 80,000l. That of game depends on the fruitfulness of the season. There is nothing, however, more surprising than the sale of rabbits. One salesman in Leadenhall-market, during a considerable portion of the year, is said to sell 14,000 rabbits weekly: he disposes of them, by employing between 150 and 300 men and women who hawk them through the streets.
