FOOD GOES HIGHER,
DESPITE MARKETS
Steamboat Men Ready to
Aid Farmers in Bring
ing in Produce.
HINT AT LAW TO
CHECK PRICE BOOSTER
Authorities Look for Heavy Sup"
ply of Garden Truck Early
in Fall.

In spite OF the fact that there was
an upward trend in prices of foodstufft
Yesterday, there is every reason to be-
iieve that this fall will see an unpreee.
denied supply Of farm produce in the
New York market. It was also hinted
that an ordinance may be passed en-
powering the authorities to deal with
the individual price booster.
Representatives Of several Hudson
River and New England steamship com,
panies told Commissioner Hartigan, OF
the Bureau of Weights and Measures
Yesterday that they would make every
effort TO get the farmers within reach
Of their lines to send produce by water
to New York. It was pointed out that
the steamship companies could give
more attractive rates than the rail-
roads.
Dock Commission Smith designated
four piers on the East River and nine
on the Hudson, which could be used to
land produce. The problem OF distrib-
uting the goods has not yet been
solved, but Commissioner Hartigan and
the MAYORS Committee on Food Sup
ply arc at work on the plan, and be-
iicve some solution will be reached by
the time the transportation companies
get results from their campaign.
Commissioner Hartigsn yesterday
sent letters to three hundred grange
headquarters in New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut to learn what food
Supplies the farmers in the various
rcighborhoods could send to New YORK
AT short notice. -,
Three New Jersey fishermen will
make the rounds of the new open mar,
kets tomorrow with Borough President
Marks to pick out stands where they
will put fish on sale carly next week
With Mr.. Marks on the trip will be
Mayor Mitchell, Controller Prendergast
President McAneny, Commissions
Hartigen, and Borough Presidents
Pounds, Connolly, Msthewson and Nc
Cormock. who will make an official in
spection of the new markets.
Shippers and producers from North
and South Carolina and Virginia were
i'm consultation with Commissions:
Hartigan yesterday. They said that the
Southern crops Of hardy vegetables
which supply the late New York mar
ket, were unusually bountitul. Iherc
was no reason, they said, why potatoes
should be more than 50 so a barrel dur
ing the winter.
onset I06 OpillOh Hi'NA ~
weeks ago by Louis n. Hahlo, acting
Corporation Counsel, that under the
present law there was no method OF
prosecuting the individual dealer, who
laid in large supplies at low prices and
charged dear for them, new city oordi-
nance modelled on one adopted IN
Chicago may be drafted.
Regulations for the new markets
we're formulated yesterday. by Mr..
Marks. Hucksters and dealers must
make way for the farmer, except at the
Manhattan Bridge Market, where spaces
arc set aside for dealers, which must
not be infringed upon by farmers. Elk
cent FOR farmers and others having
speeial permits one person may have
only one stand IT each market. No
standholder may hire Waterman, pay
for rent or privilege or sell or specul,,
late in stands. EXorbitant prices VIII
constitute grounds for election.
