Raw YOBK OOHF1DKNT IN HER POLICE- MEAT SCARCE AHD ENTAILERS EBPEOTRD TO ADVANCE—TBIAMS OAN BEING IN A SUPPLY IN 24 HOUBS WHEN ORDER IS BSS- TOBBD—BUSINESS SUFFERING. Mew Yobk, July 25.—Tba extension of the strike to the New Jersey Central, and tha Delaware Lackawanna and Western Bailroad causes great ineonTsniehoe to many persons who do business here aud reside along tha line of these roads. In terest in the glut striku appears on the inoreau rather than the decrease throngh- ont the oity. Tho matter hu now u- ■umed proportions whioh wen likely to effeot every man in a greater or leu de gree, and has become the one quution of the hoar whioh is disaussed in all plsoes of pnblio resort. There is a very general oonviotion in New York that the polloe and military antboritiu are qute strong enough to quell any attempt to repeat the dieorden whioh have been attended with *uoh diautroua oonsequenou else where. Especial relianoe is plaoed upon the polioe foroe, whioh hu on several pre vious occasions proved lta temper and its courage. Tha interruption of Railroad communication hu seriously affected the provision market. In a few days, if the oondition of affairk does not improve, New York will be without mut, and our oiti- zone will be compelled involuntarily to adopt a vegetarian diet. There is as yet no advance in retail atone of meat, bat retell dealers are fileetdy beginning to ■offer, u wholesale dealers have advanoed their prioea. An sbnndsnt snpply of meat oan be shipped to this oity within 24 boars of the resumption of trsffio upon the the railroads. There is a very large supply of butter in the market, although there is a scarcity of the very flout grades. There ia an abnndanoe of dried meats for future consumption Other branohes of business are, of course, affected by the failure of transportation. The grooery, metal, hide, leather and wool trades, snd all produce markets are suffering. The general stagnation of basinets is plainly proved by the appear tnoe of Broadway,- whioh, to-day, is com paratively qniet end empty. LouisvrLLn and Nashville boad.

Special to Enquirer-Sun] St. Louis, Jnly 25, 1:10 p. m—The gravity of the sitoation is not lessened here to-day. At 9 o’olook this morning 1,600 men assembled in Luces Market Plaoe aronnd e stand erected by tho Work ingmen’s Party, while two or three thou sand spectators gathered in the vieinity.

On the other roads only pos tal oan were allowed to leave. The Miuonri Paoiflo machine shops end freight depots and yards are closed, and none of the men are at work.

The position of the men wu approved by the oompany and tha shops and depots were oloaed.

Another argent reqneet for a detail wu reoeived from the offloen of the Union Street Railway, an important line which runs from Fourth street to the Fair Grounds. The employees have notified that aompeny that unless the reoent out of ten per oent. is restored, they will strike st 12 o’olook to-day, and stop tho oars. Fears are entertained of the ufety of property. The polioe were instructed to be in readineu to maroh to the stations upon the oommisaion of any overt aot,but not before.
