GOODS OFF MARKET
MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION To-
DAY ADVISED OF EXISTING
CONDITIONS IN NEW
YORK TRADE.

Many staple articles have been
withdrawn from the New York mar
kets. and probably will not be again
available until after the close of the
war. according to a letter that has
been received by the Madison Mer-
chants association from a large east
ern credit house.
1t is set forth in the letter that
there is an increase over last years
prices of from 80 TO 40 per cent in
linen, woolens, mems furnishings and
underwear. The rise in the price of
linen Is accounted for by the fact that
a large proportion of the worlds flax,
under normal conditions, is grown in
Russia and cured in Belgium. Those
sources of supply nave been cut off.
1t IS stated that many lines of no
tions, including wares of German and
French make, have doubled in price,
and some cannot be had at all.

u. S. Chamber of Commerce Summary
of Business.
Manufacturing is practically every
where in excellent condition with fac
tories full OF orders, the committee
reports, labor fully employed and the
products commanding high prices
The only exceptions are where strikes
prevail
The lumber industry varies from
poor to good in different sections, &C
cording to various local conditions. On
the Pacific Slope complaint is made OF
lack of export market and Of shipping
facilities, while in the southwest por-
tons of the country the story is the
lack of orders in some cases and in
others the lack OF cars to move the
product. As a whole the industry is
in better shape than for many years.
Oil and gas is distinctly in good con
dition, despite recent declines in the
price OF crude oil Naval stores, tur
pcntine and resin are suffering from
lack of demand because of the Euro
pean war This is likewise true OF
the phosphate mines in Florida.
! Stone and marble quarries of all
descriptions are very busy. This is
not true of slate which is generally
dull Mining of all kinds in general
is in excellent shape. The principal
exceptions to this are coal mines
suffering here and there from strikes
or lack of demand In southwestern
Missouri and the neighboring sections
Eof Arkansas, zinc and lead mines are
feeling the result of the recent drop
in the price of these metals Fisheries
in general are good in New England,
moderate further south along the Vir-
ginia and Carolina coast, and only fair
on the Pacific slope.
The building industry is reported to
be in generally excellent shape. It is,
in the opinion of the committee. the
best barometer of general business
since building in the country districts
means an extensive use Of materials
in almost everv line of commercial
business. Despite the high prices Of
material. the committee report con
cludes, the building outlook continues
good.

Federalizing Railroad Control.

At present there are railroad COM
missioners in all the states whose
jurisdiction clashes or conflicts more
or less with that of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. For a num-
Der Of years railroads have endeavored
to escape from this double supervision
and to secure the abolition of state
supervision of every sort and kind
An exhaustive inquiry into the entire
transportation problem of the country
is soon to be commenced by the New
lands Congressional Committee. be
fore which the various trunk lines
have presented proposal for re-
strict1ng railroad supervision to Fed
edal authority.
As time goes on one large field Of
jurisdiction after another has been
taken over by congress. This was in
evitable, as the growth of the country
and the development of interstate
commerce has led to an increasing
Capitalization Of government author
ity. Before the civil war congress ex-
crclscd less power than was confessed
ly vested in it by the Federal Consti-
tuition.
AS an example of this tendency it
NAV be remarked that congress was
authorized to enact bankruptcy laws,
but this power was not exercised until
| 1867. The expected enactment OF the
bill of lading law is another example
Of the same tendency.
At first these new Federal powers
are shared with the state, but later,
upon the principle of convenience and
necessity, congress assumes exclusive
control in the new field. In this way
the Federal Constitution is changed
radically without any amendment
| The text of this venerable document
remains the same as in 1889, but the
American system of government has
been revolutionized.
In the near future the states will be
deprived altogether of their power tc
regulate railroads because congress
will take to itself this wide area O
jurisdiction This action will be &C
cepted by this whole country because
the time has come when there mus
be effective and uniform railroad
regulation, and effective and uniform
regulation is impossible unless al
power within this range of jurisdiction
be exercised by congress.
IF there is anything which it i
necessary to do to promote the com
mercia1 wcll-beng of the country, tn,
doing Of that thing is constitutional
Necessity knows no law. When tn
business world is threatened wit
calamity it is always constitutional TO
