mitchell TO PUSH
NEW MARKET BILL
Is Preparing Measure Sim
liar to One Lost in Last
Two Legislatures
WOULD BRING DIRECT
SALE OF FOODSTUFFS
City Authorities Hope by
Efforts to Bring Relief
from High Prices

The city authorities will make an
other attempt at the coming session OF
the Legislature to obtain the passage
of a bill to afford by public markets
relief from the high prices of food.
MAYOR Mitchell announced yesterday
that he was preparing a bill, In con-
junction with Lamar. Hardy, Corpora
ton Counsel, similar to the measures
introduced in the Legislature by the
city in 1915 and 1916, providing for a
terminal market system. These bills
died in committee. The Mayor hopes
for better success this year in view OF
the widespread investigations into the
cost Of living.
He issued this statement yesterday:
Several days ago ] TOOK up with
the Corporation Counsel the prepare
ton of a markets bill for submission
TO the Legislature. This was merely
in line with the efforts of this admins
tration in 1915 and 1916 TO provide
relief through legislation. Both years
the bill was beaten. II either of these
bills had been enacted into law the
city would have been enabled to pro-
vide a terminal market system.
THE object Of the bill was to obtain
for the producer direct means of hsv-
ing all food products placed at public
auction, and to insure the prompt re-
turn to him of the amount for which
the goods were sold, less the auction
GERS fees.
"The means of carrying out this plan
was a new department Of markets, with
n commissioner at the head, and such
markets as the Board Of Estimate
would supply, the drafting Of rules for
the conduct of the public auctioneers
and the requirement of sufficient bonds
to insure the prompt return OF all
moneys to the farm producer.
"A bill to carry out this intent was
introduced in the Legislature at the re-
quest Of the Mayor on February IL,
1915, in the Assembly, and again in the
following year on February 8, 1916, by
Senator Ogden l.. Mills. Both years
the measure was never reported out OF
the Cities Committee"
The Mayor still has the report OF
Leonard NJ. Wallstein, Commissioner Of
Accounts, on the investigation into the
high price of coal, under consideration.
He probably will make it public to-day.

HOUSES
SHORT OF EGGS
Only 393,259 Cases Held
September |, Compared
with 528, 400 in 1915

On September there was an actual
shortage Of cold storage eggs in the
local warehouses.
This information was reported by
the Health Department TO Police Com
missioner Woods last night at the con-
clusion Of the frst day Of a joint in
vestigation Of the reports that specu-
lators are conspiring to raise prices
by holding millions of dozens of eggs
in storage.
Figures show that there were $685.
259 cases Of eggs in storage IN this
city September /, as compared with
52S,409 cases on September !, 1913.
Warehouses in Buffalo showed an in
crease OF $4,000 cases this last Sep
TENDER over the year previous. For
the remainder OF the state, however,
the statistics were 233,477 cases last
September. as compared with 3l2,2S9
cases September |, 1915. Including
New York City and Buffalo, there were
1852 cases. or approximately 2ss,-
$4,000 eggs. in storage in the state az
the beginning Of this last autumn.
That this Is no unusual concentra-
ton of storage eggs. however, is
shown, the Health Department reports
by the fact that this number is only
approximately 80 per cent of the 979
263 cases, or 352.534,680 eggs. in the
warehouses a year ago in September
How one man made $4,000 here in
less than a week by effecting corner
in eggs four times in succession was
told to Assistant District Attorney
Markewich yesterday by a man who
says that he will furnish proof OF the
transactions.
The informer did not say how many
eggs were involved in the game, but
he said that the Spectator bought and
sold them four times before he cleaned
up his $4,000. Each time he bought
the eggs back and held them he helped
to raise the price by increasing the
scarcity.

Food Purchases for All

To reduce the present high cost Of
living, employees of the General Chem
ical Company. 20 Broad Street. are in
vestigating a plan to purchase food
stuifs wholesale for distribution at q
general depot.
Officials of the company said yester-
day they could not discuss the project
because it was still in the expert
mental stage. They emphasized that
the plan was proposed by the en-
ployes, not by the company.
Joseph Hartigan, Commissioner OF

explains that he regarded the sugges-
ton as a significant immediate rem
edy to escape soaring retail prices.

CHANGERS FIGHT
FOOD EMBARGO
National Body Warns the
Administration Against
Fitzgerald's Bill
WILL NOT REDUCE
PRICES, 1T CLAIMS
Will Cut Production and
Discourage Farmers,
Officer Declares
rrmm IN. Tribuns Bure,u.l

Washington, Nov 22.-The National
Grange, in convention here, held a
special session tonight to protest
against the proposed embargo on food
stufFs. Leaders Of the Grange, which
has 100000 farmer members and is
allied with organizations Of farmers
numbering as many moro, were aroused
by the announcement to-day by Rep
resentative John J. Fitzgerald, Of New
York, that he would introduce an EN-
barge bill at the coming session. Mr..
Fitzgerald is chairman Of the House
Appropriations Committee.
The resolution committee of the
Grange adopted unanimously a reso-
luton OF protest, which was presented
at to-night's meeting OF the conyen-
ton. The resolution denounces the
embargo plan and warns the Admin
stration against supporting it.
Though few members OF Congress
are in Washington, the opinion pre-
walls that the embargo bill will be de-
feated. in spite OF the fact that promi-
nent Democrats favor it. 1t is stated
authoritatively that President wilson
will not advocate it in his annual mes
sage or otherwise.
Would Cut Production
Grange officers said tonight that the
effect Of an embargo would be precisely
the reverse of that intended. namely
TO reduce the price Of grain and other
foodstuffs. Although it might increase
the home supply for short time, they
said, in the long run IL would discour-
age the farmers and cut down produc-
ton, and prices would go up higher
than ever.
president Wilson, in addressing US
last week." said a grange officer, urged
farmers to increase their crop yields.
Does he think an embargo will encour-
age us?'
Mr.. Fitzgerald's statement follows:
Two reasons chiefly impel me 10
favor such legislation. II is the most
effective weapon in our controversy
with Great Britain over her unwarfant-
cd. outrageous and indefensible black
list Of American merchants.
"Affronts as unending as the result
ing injuries have been given us, and
Great Britain shows her contempt by
her persistent infringement of our
rights. As our foodstuffs are needed
abroad, an embargo upon these exports
will be more effective than weary
months of diplomatic negotiations
which end in the continuance OF the in
defensible practices against our rights.
THE embargo should be imposed 1or
purely domestic reasons. The prices
Of foodstuffs have reached levels that
are bringing widespread distress to the
country. Many hundreds of thousands
Of our people are suffering from the
lack of the necessities of life. Whole
sale prices in many commodities are
less abroad to-day than they were
year ago; here the retail prices have
advanced alarmingly.
