100000 TONS OF

He deplored the reckless buying III
which domestic dealers and mousse
holders had INDUCED, saying that tnat
alone was sufficient to cause con SD

practically no specializing in sugar, ne
said. except by London firms, which
frequently had New York agents.
Speculation in London had been &C.
tive. he said. One boatload of sugar
had crossed the Atlantic three times in
search of higher prices. Before the
war broke out the sugar was sent 20
Liverpool from New York. lntorma-
ton came from New York which caused
a hurried return trip to get the beneht
of expected high prices. While here
the war broke out, and the boat was
sent back to Liverpool. The cargo vas
then sold for enough to pay for all the
EXTRA carrying and leave handsome
profit. Another bOatload of sugar had
been held for thirty days outside the
Delaware Breakwater, he said, waiting
for top prices.

that a cargo Of rice from Rangoon,

John A. Simms, of the Hecker-Jones-

shortages and abnormal war demands
of European nations.

what arduous tour Of the open market.
With many, too, the advantage OF hav-
ing the purchases delivered has much
weight.
Plans for permanent stands, with
ice boxes and other conveniences, per-
hitting q wider range of goods, are
under consideration. In time 1t is
probable that a system of co-opera-
tive deliveries will be established by
the dealers.
Mrs. Julian Heath and a committee
from the National Housewives League
made several rounds Of the markets
yesterday, seeking complaints Of over
charges. Borough President Marks has
announced that no eXorbitant Trices
will be countenanced.
Prices varied in different markets
and in different parts of the same mar
kets. Ordinarily such variations were
due to differences in the grade Of the
articles. When a dealer reached the
bottom of his load, however, he was
likely to cut prices, regardless OF quail
ity, in order to get away quickly.
Borough President Marks, who made
several round trips in the course OF
the day, said he was sure the open
market had come to stay, and that no
one could say how far the idea might
develop. The four markets opened yes
terday, he said, were in the nature OF
experiments. They were on city-owned
property which had hitherto lain idle
and cost the city nothing. The two
Harlem markets are adjacent to botn
piers and railroads, and might become
great centres of trade.
