EXPORTS.

"Tbese are for only one month of 7acn
wear, and their influence on the home mar
llet and the benefit of an export tax can DC
seen readily
Several restaurant keepers who are be
ing hard hit by the high prices are serl-
ouslv discussing a movement for the estap-
nshr3ent OF large city market on the plan
of the one at the Wallabout. in BrookHh'
as a means of relief. They say that, Win
the exception of Cianseyoort Market ana a
small one in upper Tenth avenue, there are
no places in the city where growers OF
country produce can bring their STUN ahu
meet the buyers face to face.
They say that a market Of that sort
would not help the meat situation, but
would tend to lower prices on almost every
thing else, besides giving them fresher
stock. subjected to less handling and admit
ting of closer inspection than is possible at
nresent Such a market. they say, should
be on the waterfront and have sufficient
room for canal boat handling. which
would stimulate growers in the interior or
the state who are now held back by the
difficulty Of making a good profit after
freight charges and after handlers. jobbers
and middlemen have taken their toll
One man who feeds about three thousand
nersons a day said: "A market of that
sort like the Wallabout Market in Brook
lyn would be blessing 10 us. Arrange
ments could be made so that any grower
or producer could rent a certain space for
a reasonable figure and those who tradeG
with him would always know where to find
him. and dealings would be at first hand.
Washington. Fulton and Gansevoort mar
kets do not fill the bill.
The only place where the grower really
ic At md bat is
inadequate for the city's needs. OF course.
the idea is a little hazy at present, but
believe if we had markets on the plan
carried out in Philadelphia, Baltimore and
other places they would develop a big
trade although New Yorkers are not in the
habit of going TO market as people are in
other cities"

WHY MEAT rs HIGH,
DR.. Schurman .UakCs an Er-
pIanafi0H to Farmers.

Watertown. \. Y. Feb t. DR.. Jacob
Gould Schurman. president of Cornell Uni
versitv addressed the assembled delegates
of the New York State Grange tonight.
He said in part:
Ever one IS concerned to-day about the
advance IN the cost of living. Some as
cribe it to the increase in the worlds pro-
duction of gold, with the resulting tendency
to z universal increase in prices.
In our own country there seems TO he n
set determination on the part of the gov
ernment to destroy trusts which are
monopolizinG articles of universal con-
sumption and raising the prices on the con-
sumer And of course this is the only
proper method TO pursue. But it may very
well he that the causes OF this increase in
the cost OF living lie deeper than is gener-
ally supposed.
Look. for example. at the subject of beef,
Cattle were formerly produced in vast
numbers and at comparatively small cost.
on great ranches throughout the West
More and more the future cattle will he
supplied to the market from small herds
owed by farmers. Meanwhile, We stand
between the era of ranChng. which Is pass
ing away and the era of stock raising on
farms which is not adequately developed
to meet the needs of our increasing popula-
ton.

FOR AN EXPORT TAX
TO LOWER PRICES.
Suggestion Also That City
Take to Markets.

Two ways Of avoiding getting away
from the exactions of the so-cailed bee-
Trust were suggested yesterday by men WHO
had given the subject much thought since
the movement against high prices began anu
especially since what was called the lnSolehe
retort of the hackers to the demands for
concessions was made public. One of these
wavs was the fostering of local slaughter
or packing houses and the growing or more
cattle at home for home consumption II
was pointed out that many abandoned ldrih9
still had good pasturage and enough ieeo
could be raised TO carry stock through 'iio
winter.
While carving out this method in detail
would not meet the present emergency II
was said il would serve to check any re-
currence of such conditions In the future
AS one dealer put it: THE Wadsworths
have made lots of money growing cattle up
state. and what is to prevent the small
farmer doing as they have done on small
er scaleo The creamery men take supplies
of milk and cream from their home growers
and why should there not be local slaughter
bouses on the same plan handling enough
cattle in the course of year materially TO
increase the New York City supply, and at
a fair profit to the grower?
The second plan suggested was to put an
export tax on live cattle and packing mouse
products large enough to equallZe prices Ill
the foreign and New York markets. the 1or-
nner prices averaging now anywhere from
cent 10 three cents a pound less than here.
In this connection well known shipper
said: we sent out from New York last
month 1921 live cattle, 20 sheep and 2S''0o
quarters of beef which, put on the market
here. would have had an effect on prices
worth while to the consumer These SNIP
r1ents were less than for the corresponding
month last year when we sent out 2o''oo
live cattle. 4,1S4 sheep and 40,S85 quarters
of beef
"Ar export tax equal to the average dill
ference between the New York and the
United Kingdom prices would have Kept
much of this at home, or raised the price
in England and there would have been
fine row over there when prices began 10
climb That foreign outlet, unchecked, has
more of an influence on home prices than
one would think and even if we did not get
an-- benefit from it we would at least know
that an export tax was preventing England
from getting American beef cheaper than II
was sold here.
"To show how much exports count IN the
market for meat and packing house prod
ucts the following figures are given:

COURTHOUSE SITE CHOSEN.
Brooklyn Justices Select Block Ad-
jacent to Borough Hall.

The Supreme Court justices of Kings
County filed a brief yesterday with the
Board of Estimate giving formal notice of
their selection of the block bounded by
Court, Livingston. Clinton and State
streets as a site for the new courthouse in
Brooklyn.
The justices recite that by law the site
must be within reasonable proximity TO the
Borough Hall and the other public build
ings: that it shall all sides be re-
moved for some distance from the street:
that. if it can be avoided. no religious,
educational or eleemosynary institution
shall be disturbed by it's erection, and that
the cost of the proposed site must not be
prohibitive
The justices believe that the site they
have selected meets with all these require
ments. The total assessed valuation OF
the property on the site is 81 ,204,900.
