Shillings and Tuppence Gross Total for Refuse Bot Collected or Found in the Streets of London £1,406,592 One Shilling and Six Pints Curious and ample as this table of Refuse is, one more over, perfectly original, it is not sufficient by the mere range of figures to convey to the mind of the reader a full comprehension of the ramified vastness of the second-hand trade of the Metropolis. Indeed, tables are for reference more than for the current information to be yielded by a history or a narrative. I will therefore offer a few explanations in elucidation, as it were, of the tabular return. I must, as indeed I have done in the accompanying remarks, depart from the order of the details of the table to point out, in the first instance, the particulars of the greatest of the second-hand trades, that in clothing. In this table the reader will find included every indispensable article of man's, women's and child's apparel, as well as those articles which add to the ornament or comfort of the person of the wearer, such as boas and victorines for the use of one sex and dressing gowns for the use of the other. The articles used to protect us from the rain or the too powerful rays of the sun are also included, umbrellas and parasols. The whole of these articles exceed when taken in round numbers, 12 millions and a quarter, and that reckoning the pairs, as in boots and shoes and so on, as but one article. This, still pursuing the round number system, would supply nearly five articles of refuse apparel to every man, woman and child, in this, the greatest metropolis of the world. I will put this matter in another light. There are about 35,000 Jews in England, nearly half of whom reside in the metropolis. 12,000, it is further stated on good authority, reside within the city of London. Now at one time, the trade in old clothes was almost entirely in the hands of the city Jews, the others prosecuting the same calling in different parts of London, having been wardrobe dealers, chiefly women, who had not unfrequently been the servants of the aristocracy. And even these wardrobe dealers sold much that was worn, and as one old clothes dealer told me, much that was not for their fine customers, because the fashion had gone by, to the old clothe Jews, or to those to whom the street buyers carried their stock, and who were able to purchase on a larger scale than the general itinerants. Now supposing that even one 12th of these 12,000 Israelites were engaged in the old clothes trade, which is far beyond the mark, each man would have 1,225 articles to dispose off yearly, all secondhand. Perhaps the most curious trade is that in waste paper, or as it is called by the street collectors, in waste, comprising every kind of used or useless periodical, and books in all tongues. I may call the attention of my readers by way of illustrating the extent of this business in what is proverbially refuse waste paper to their experience of the penny postage. Three or four sheets of note paper, according to the stouter or thinner texture, and an envelope with a seal, or a glutinous and stamped fastening, will not exceed half an ounce, and is conveyed to the Orkneys and the further aisles of Shetland, the Hebrides, the Silly and Channel Islands, the aisles of Achill and Cape Clear of the Western and Southern coasts of Ireland, or indeed to and from the most extreme points of the United Kingdom, and no matter what distance, provided the letter be posted within the United Kingdom for a penny. The weight of waste or refuse paper annually disposed off to the street collectors, or rather buyers, is 1,397,760 pounds, where this tonnage, as I may call it, for it comprises 12,480 tonnes yearly, to be distributed in half ounce letters, it would supply material and respects weight for 44,728,430 letters on business, love, or friendship. I will next direct attention to what may be, by perhaps not overstraining a figure of speech, called the crumbs which fall from the rich man's table, or according to the quality of the commodity of refuse of the tables of the comparatively rich, and that down to a low degree of the scale. These are not, however, unappropriated crumbs to be swept away uncared for, but are objects of keen traffic and bargains between the possessors or their servants and the indefatigable street folk. Among them are such things as champagne and other wine bottles, porter and ale bottles, and including the establishments of all the rich and the comparative rich, kitchen stuff, dripping, hogwash, hair skins and tea leaves. Lastly come the very lowest grades of the street folk, the finders, men who will quarrel and have been seen to quarrel with a hungry cur for a street-found bone, not to pick or gnaw, although Eugene Sioux has seen that done in Paris. And I once very early on a summer's morning saw some apparently houseless Irish children contend with a dog and with each other for bones thrown out of a house in King William Street City, as if after a very late supper, not to pick or gnaw, I was saying, but to sell for manure. Some of these finders have seen better days. Others in intellect are little elevated above the animals whose bones they gather or whose order, pure, they scrape into their baskets. I do not know that the other articles in the arrangement of the Table of Street Refuse and so on require any further comment. Broken metal and so on can only be disposed of according to its quality or weight. And I have lately shown the extent of the trade in such refuse as street sweepings, suit and night soil. The gross total or average yearly money value is 1,406,592 pounds for the second hand commodities I have described in the foregoing pages or as something like a minimum is given, both as to the number of the goods and the price, we may fairly put this total at a million and a half of pounds sterling.
