is no question but that prices have
arised beyond all reason and on
products that should not be affected
by the present European war

the best grade This is an advance
of more than, forty cents over the
beginning of the month. Since July

$1.70 for a like amount.
Tea Is Going Up.
The price of teas has been radically
advanced in all stores and coffee has
scared in the same fashion. To be
sure, these products are imported
and England is the greatest tea mart,
but at present the warehouses are
full
Cheese, quoted In Centre Market at

pound has arisen to twenty-five and
thirty cents. The reason for this in
crease is rather difficult to find, for
many of our cheeses were exported
before the war. The foreign market
is entirely shut for the present and
an overproduction in the United
1t was not until the present trouble
began that people were made aware
of the fact that a good deal of the
"Elgin creamery butter" sold to them
came from across the sea. Now the
story is told, and the price of butter
is lifted accordingly. Best butter
costing from thirty-five to thirty
eight cents a pound last week, will
now be forty cents or more. And re-
tailers are not prepared to stand be-
hind their quotations for more than
twenty-four hours. either. They are
at a loss to know which way the mar

A slight reduction in the quotations

terday would not, it was said, affect
the Newark retailers this week. On
the other hand, If the quotations again
arose before the end of this week, the
local trade will suffer. The retail

der from the packers on the quota
tons in the early part of the week.
Canned Goods Upward Trend.
All kinds of canned goods. whether
imported or domestic. have followed
the upward trend of the market. The
reported closing of can factories be-
cause of their inability to get block
tin into the country has caused this
increase, in part.
Imported cordials, wines, brandies
and champagne have reached figure
that makes it impossible for anybody
who is not a millionaire to have cpl
curean tastes. II is said that the
war. whether 1t be long or short, Will
have a most disastrous effect on the
champagne vineyards of France. The
grape from which champagne is
pressed is a most delicate thing, and
needs constant attention. There will
not be sufficient labor in the country
to care for them, and whether the
fields in which they grow are devas-
tated or not, the vines are bound to
suffer.
The time is coming, and that within
a few days, when lovers of imported
beers viii be compelled to go
thirsty. Before that happens, though,
importers intend to compensate them
selves for their future loss by in
creasing the price until Wurzburger
and Pilsner will be as expensive as
champagne was before the trouble
stopped their shipnentA

HALIFAX, Aug. 14.-For half an
hour last Thursday night the Rris-
tol, the smallest British warship in
the North Atlantic. fought long
range duel with the Karlsruhe, the
largest and fastest of the German
cruisers which have been trying 10

) Racing through the heavy swell at
terrific clip. the ships exchanged
oroadsides without inhicting much
damage. the conditions being very
unfavorable for accurate gunnery.
Although the BristoPs consorts We're
at least 100 miles astern, the German
would not stand and fight, according
70 the British participants. Altering
MS course, he gradually drew away
from the Bristol, owing to superior
speed, and after half an nour was out
OF range of the British ships six-inch

All through tho night the chase
lasted, but somewhere in the dark
ness the German vessel doubled and
made off south to San Juan, where
she put in for coal some days age.
The Karlsruhe. when she arrived in
the Porto Rican port, reported that
she had had an engagement with sew
eral British cruisers and that she be-
iieved she had sunk one.
Details of this action, the first

NEW YORK. Aug. 14.-Herman
Ridder, proprietor and editor of the
New Yorker stats Zeitung, in to-
days issue of his paper began the
publication of an English column
bearing upon the war. Following are
extracts from his column
This column is written in English
for the purpose of reaching those who
do not read German. I realize that It
is difficult to obtain fair idea of
the real situation by reading the Eng
lish-printed daily New York press
Il do not pretend that my view
point is entirely unprejudiced. 1t is
difficult in the heat of battle to as
sumo wholly just and impartial at
titude.
my sympathies are entirely with
Germany and Austria. The Father
land was the home of my ancestors,
and while l am an American by birth
I cannot forget my inherited love for
the Fatherland.
81 expect from time to time to dis
cuss in detail the causes that led to
this war IT can accomplish no good
purpose TO attempt to determine at
this tine the question as to the just
ness of Germanyss attitude in this
terrible war. Every Teuton knows
that Germany and Austria are fight
ing for their very existence. 1t Is
quite clear to the German mind that
this lis a clash in which either the
Teuton or the Slav will impose his
civilization upon the greater part
of Europe. The struggle has been
many years in coming.
Germany did not want war. Dur
ing the last quarter of century her
industries and her commerce have
developed under the regime of a
Kaiser who has always been a sim
cere and forceful advocate of peace.
That all these efforts of twenty five
years of uninterrupted peace should
be lost in few days must tell its
own story. Germany, whether suc-
cessful or not. must make terrible sac
rif1ces and stand tremendous losses
When the diplomacy of Europe
isolated Germany and Austria 1t made
certain the day when all Europe
would be aligned against the Teu-
tonic race.
ITO picture the Kaiser as a blood
thirsty war-lord Is arrant nonsense.

IF folks will stop the boarding OF
foodstuffs. the market will balance
ITSELF" said one Of Newark's most
prominent commission merchants to-
day. 1T is true that the market Is
very cratic. and that merchants
cannot make quotations and stand
by them But it is entirely due to
the panic of the small dealer and
the householder. Customers who new
er before bought more than five bar
rels of flour or sugar at a time are
ordering twenty-five at once. Then
they are giving us thunder because
we cannot make immediate deliveries.
Just as soon as people realize that
there is no need for all this the mar
ket will settle down to a firm and
Sane basis. The markets for sugar
and flour should not be abnormal.
There is a bounteous crop of wheat
and there is plenty of sugar. It's the
small speculation of the little corner
grocer, the baker and the house
keeper that is giving the big gam
blers in foodstuffs their chance"
In this statement the commission
merchant reflected the opinions of
great many merchants who deal in

experts here are advancing the odd
theory that the impending conflict in

Germany and Great Britain may be
the means OF lifting the United States
into the first place among naval pow

their assumption on the tremendous
destructive power of the modern wnr
vessel They say the expected naval
engagement. no matter who wins,
must involve the sinking of many
dreadnoughts, super dreadnoughts
and smaller craft, and that it is with
in the realms of possibility that the
fight may be destructive enough to
both sides to raise the rating of the
United States navy above that of the
