Rice and railroads drive late 19th century growth in New York
The piece notes a surge in railroad orders as proof of business revival, with New York Central planning 85 million dollars for 18 000 freight and passenger cars and 165 000 tons of rails, plus new electric engines for tunnel service. It also covers rice production gains, church vacancies, and cultural events in New York, including benevolent society efforts and notable real estate sales tied to the Morgan era.
