NEW YORK, Feb. 20.--In the mat
ter of movement of prices. todays
market was chiefly distinguished by
a further, and in some cases violent
decline in the newer industrial

Apparently the particular weak

fact that exact intrinsic values are
necessarily more or less undeter-
mined with such less seasoned issues.

rendered vulnerable by the fact that
many OF them have not yet been Sc
cuA-lt\ placed IN the investors hands.

Merchants Association believes should be
made at once and which will make the
island still more advantageous for manu-
featuring, especially for the heavy, rough,
coarse groups OF industries. The most
important of these industrial needs of
Staten Island are the following:
marginal railroad along the western
side of the island. paralleling Staten ISL
and Sound. Just one line Of railroad from
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad bridge TO
Tottenville will bring into the market OF
available industrial sites not less than
eight square miles Of now undeveloped
territory. This marginal railroad should
parallel Staten Island Sound at dis
tance of from 800 10 1000 feet from the
shore, leaving ample space for factory
sites with water and rail transportation
facilities That such a railroad would
bring about a tremendous development
cannot be questioned. 1t is only necessary
to compare the development on the New
Jersey side with that on the Staten Island
side of the Sound
The natural and logical development
would appear to be an extension or branch

executive devoting his entire time to the

Of commercial organization TO direct at

The improvements now under way IN
Staten Island Sound are going forward
rapidly at the present time. The United
states engineers are engaged in dredging
new channel. which will give a clear
waterway Of 25 feet at low water, an i'm
provement which is estimated to cost
not less than 100000 AS a matter of
TACT, the channel has a depth at present
OF q feet and is available for ocean
going steamers.
Inc vast amount OF commerce which
goes through Staten Island Sound and

waterway is one Of the most important
IN the United States and carries an i'm
mense tonnage. which for 1911 was esti-
mated at SO525.0Oo (shorO tons. having a
value OF S5l5, $4,000.
Staten Island has many advantages as
shipping point for the export and i'm
port trade. The American Dock Com
pany which is already a strong institu-
uon' has shipping and warehouse facili-
Ties similar to those at the Bush Termi-
nal. The nearness OF the borough to the

of the present road, to be operated as a
part of that system, thereby assuring to
this section the rates, routes and other
advantages OF an established line and
service. If for any reason such an extern
sion of the present lines is impra cticable
or delayed. either of the two following
alternatives would accomplish the desired
result:
The building OF an independent ter
minal railroad connected by float service
with the New Jersey railroads. If 1t is
impossible TO get direct connection be-
tween Tottenvlle and the Baltimore 81
Ohio Railroad Bridge, a short inde-
pendent terminal railroad connecting with
the New Jersey railroads would be
equally advantageous for the manufactur-
ers located on Staten Island. The essen
tial thing is that this now undeveloped
strip of land should be furnished with
railroad facilities.
a bridge over Staten Island Sound
from Perth Amboy to Tottenville. This
is a third possibility OF solving the prob
lem of railroad facilities for Staten
Island. A bridge connecting Tottenvllie
and Perth Amboy would give staten ISL
and direct rail connections with the Le-
high Valley. the Jersey Central. the
Reading and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Such a bridge might very well be oper-
ated under a mutual arrangement be-
tween the various trunk roads and would
effectively start Staten Island on the
road TO industrial prosperity.
Additional streetcar lines into the sec
tons OF Staten Island which are now un-
developed. To-day there are large sec
tions of Staten Island. with a considerable
population. that are now entirely isolated.
Whole villages. such as Linoleumville,
Rossville and others. are without either
electric or steam railways. There is no
way for labor from outside points to get
TO the factories located there. and no way
for the labor in these factories to enjoy
the many advantages of proximity TO
