FARMERS FLOCK
TO new MARKETS
Second Day Shows In
crease in Number Bring
ing Produce.

The second day Of the open city mar
kets showed a considerable increase In
the number of farmers bringing their
produce there. Most Of them disposed
Of their goods quickly, and there Is
every indication that next week will
bring many more. Borough President
Marks estimated that at least 90 per
cent more business was done in the
markets yesterday than on Tuesday.
Similar markets are promised for
Brooklyn, The Bronx and Staten ISL
and.
Joseph Hartigan, Commissioner Of
the Bureau Of Weights and Measures,
suggested to the Borough President
yesterday a scheme for q delivery ser
vice in the markets. In the course Of
his work with the Mayors committee
on food supply Mr.. Hartigan compile
q list Of truckmen whose business had
fallen of greatly because of shipping
inactivity.
Yesterday he found three Of them
who were willing to talk over the de-
livery question with the Borough Pres
ident. Commissioner Hartigan be-
lieves that for small sum, depending
upon the volume of business, deliveries
could be made within a considerable
radius Of each market.
Arrangements have been made to let
permanent stands to dealers who wish
to sell provisions requiring ice and
storage. A fish dealer in the Queens
borough Bridge market solved that
problem for himself yesterday. For $40
he had a portable stand, glass topped
and lined with zinc, constructed. His fish
were on ice, protected from the air and
visible to customers. He laid in 700
pounds for a two days supply, and
sold 400 pounds yesterday afternoon.
His prices were as follows: Fluke, 6
cents; porgies, cents; butterfsh, 6
cents; paddock, cents; bluefish, 8
cents without the head; weakfish, 7
cents.
Prices continued to be low yesterday
at all the markets. Red raspberries of
attractive appearance were on sale for
cents a box; beefstesk tomatoes, ex-
ira large, for cents apiece; green
corn, from IL to 20 cents a dozen;
beets, 2 cents bunch; 16-quart bas-
ket of peaches, from 40 to 90 cents;
6%-D basket Of plums, from Is to 20
cents.
A dealer who was selling onions at
the Fort Lee Ferry market yesterday
by a scale which Commissioner Harti-
gan's men declared to be four ounces
short to the pound was arrested and
held for trial.
Several Washington Market dealers
intend to apply to Postmaster Morgan
for sub-station at the market, where
their customers may take their pur-
chases and mail them home by parcel
post II the scheme is successful it
will be taken up at all the markets.

GOOD NEWS FOR 10000
Polk Decides City Cannot Hold
Up Contracts Already Let.

In a letter written to Controller
Prendergast It was stated by Corpora
ton Counsel Frank L. Polk yesterday
that the city had no legal right to hold
up city contracts that have already
been let. In view of the Corporation
Counsels decision 10000 men who have
been laid off since the administrations
policy of retrenchment was made
known will return to work.
Immediately after receiving the let.
ter Controller Prendergast certified
contracts involving about $4b0,000.
They were forwarded to various city
departments and will be submitted TO
contractors at once. Most Of the con-
tracts were for sewer construction and
street work.
Rejoicing among labor unions and
contractors followed Mr.. Folks an
nouncement They had maintained
that the city had no right to hold up
the work, even though the war situa-
ton caused financial obstacles

If members Of the New York Cot

Liverpool Exchange will agree under
no conditions to demand margin below

below 8 cents for December In New
York, should the market reach such

STEEL EXPORT ORDERS
Some Foreign Bookings Re-
ceived at Increased Prices.

Iron and steel trade publications re-
port the beginning of resumption of
export in steel products. Foreign orders
have been received at prices in some
instances better than in the domestic
market. Domestic bookings, however,
are falling off.
"The Iron Age" says to-day: "The
extent to which foreign orders have or
will make up for the falling off in new
business at home is the uppermost
question in the steel trade. The United
States Steel Corporation has naturally
closed the bulk of the outside business
done thus far. One satisfactory feature
Is the good prices realized on these for
eign orders, now that German competi-
ton is removed.
reports from a number of steel
companies are that volume of new con-
tracts has been declining, and mention
is made Of some cancellations due to
inability to finance. The railroads have
been more stringent in their orders to
cut down expenditures and steel works
are hearing less from them than in
many weeks"
1.-THE Iron Trade Review" will say:
export trade in steel products again
is beginning to move from this country
after a period of practical suspension
brought about by the paralyzing infu-
ences of the war and their effect upon
shipping. The Steel Corporation at this
moment is working on the final details
for entering ten ships owned by it un-
der the American flag. In the orders
for steel products 80 far closed with
foreign buyers both the Steel Corpora
ton and independent manufacturers
have shared, and in some cases better
prices than the domestic market have
been obtained.
"The tension in the erro-manganese
market has been relieved further, and
a considerable tonnage now is leaving
England to reach this country during
September. The domestic steel trade
has not appeared very active on new
business, although the Steel Corpora
ton, despite heavier shipments in Au-
gust, will show an increased booked
tonnage for that period"

CALLS ON MURPHY
TO FOLLOW BARNES
w. F. Schneider Sees Democratic
Success in the Retirement of
the Tammany Leader.

County Clerk William F. Schneider
a leader in the Democratic Association
of New York, an anti-Tammany or
ganization, sees in William Barness
retirement as Republican chairman
and the probable selection of Ogden
L. Mills as his successor an invita-
ton to Charles F. Murphy also to et-
face himself as a political BOSS. =,
"The retirement of Barnes sald
Mr.. Schneider, "has already brought
about a substantial union between the
Progress i've and the Republican par
ties. and in most of the Harlem dis
tricts there has been an agreement on
candidates for congressman, Senators
and Assemblymen by both parties.
This is a plain indication that the root
of the evil has been removed and that
Republicans who have for the time be-
ing adhered TO the Progressive cause
because of their opposition to boss
ism are rapidly returning to their old
allegiance"
Mr.. Schneider feels that. if Murphy
should also retire it would bring l00,-
600 more votes to the Democratic
ticket and harmony in the Democratic
party, which he said could not exist
with Murphy in control. Mr.. Schneider
said: "Not until Mr.. Murphy has
stepped aside, either voluntarily or
under the coercion of the undoubted
sentiment of his party, will there. be
any possible chance of complete
union among Democrats"
The County Clerk believes it would
be good politics for the Democrats TO
nominate James w. Gerard for Gov
ernor and nut Governor Glynn for
ward as a candidate for the United
States Senate.
The nomination of Mr.. Gerard, he
argued. would unite the whole party
and leave no excuse for the candi-
dacies of Sulzer and Hennessy. He
also said that the intended renomina-
ton of John A. Bensel as State Engi,-
neer and Surveyor would be suicidal
for the Democrats.

TIFFANY is GIVEN HIS
RELEASE FROM JAIL
JUDGE A. R. PFAU FINDS HIM ILLEG.
ALLY CONVICTED
Right of Jury Trial Was Not Expressly
Waived BY the Defendant; Hence
Freedom

After serving twenty-four days of
the forty for which he was COM
mitted to the county Jail, on the
charge OF assault upon his wife,
Frank Tiffany Of Vernon Center was
found by Jude Pfau OF the dis
triet court fate Yesterday afternoon
to have been illegally convicted,
and was ordered released. The re-
lease was btained on habeas cor
pus proceedings, which were started
by the wife, Mrs. Ida NJ. Tiffany,
the very person on whose behalf
Tiffany was first arrested and
jailed. Tiffany was found guilty
by Justice of the Peace James
Morrow without a jury, and Judge
Pfau held yesterday that inasmuch
as the right of the accused to a
jury trial was not expressly waived
by him. the justice had lost his
jurisdiction by the improper pro-
cedure, and the commitment of
Tiffany was illegal.
Stay Not Granted.
Attorney Ivan Bowen, who rep
resented the state in the place of
County Attorney Schmitt, asked for
a stay in proceedings of twenty-four
hours, that he might take an appeal,
but the court denied this motion.
Mrs. Tiffany was present in the
court room at the hearing with her
little daughter, Tiffany's step-child.
Whatever the original trouble may
have been between the husband ana
wife, II was very clear that they
were on the best of terms yester-
day. Tiffany Is a painter, whose
place of business is located in
Vernon Center village.
