BREAKING A GOOD BLOCKADE.

New York City, recently reduced al
most to famine, broke the food block
AIDE and shook down the high prices
by an expenditure of SIC and the ex-
ercise of little business sense on
the part of a single official.
Joseph Hartigan, commissioner OF
weights and measures, set about to
supply the metropolis with potatoes
and onions. He sent out $T6 worth OF
kilograms to commissioners of agri-
culture and departments of food and
markets in so states, inquiring
whether they had any such vegetables
to sell. He received an immediate re-
Spouse fron almost every state.
Growers and dealers offered to ship
34,5O0G00 pounds of white potatoes,
100000 pounds Of sweet potatoes and
S.6S0.C00 POUNDS of onions. The Of
fers came chiefly from the Northwest.
the Far West and South
The commissioner turned his in
formation over to retail agencies,
which actually purchased about 30.
100000 pounds of the products OF.
fered. Thus they were able to relieve
the famine, and to lower prices sew
eral cents a pound. The relief afford
cd was not merely temporary. Near
ly all the shipments came from sec
lions which had not hitherto supplied
the New York market. That great
market had tapped new resources OF
supply which may be counted on here
after.
II shows what an efficient agency
for gathering and disseminating in
formation about food supplies might
do In getting the food where 1t Is
needed and keeping down prices. Why
shouldn't the federal government do
such work, keeping its eye constantly
on the supply and demand throughout
the country, and putting its resources
at the command of any community
that wants to buy food or sell food
Of any sort?

The demand is about equally strong
and equally growing for the foreign
and domestic trade. Our furnaces
and mills, merely to turn out the pro-
duct already ordered, viii have to run
at capacity throughout the present

Many mills are refusing TO guarantee
delivery of certain products before

Whether at peace or war. there's
every indication that business Will
keep on booming.
