POTATOES BEING HELD IN
JERSEY FREIGHT YARD

Newark, July 10. - With nearly q
hundred carloads of south Jersey pota-
toes on the tracks of the South Broad
street freight station Of the Pennsyl-
vanla railroad Mondays wholesale
price Of Sd and $4.25 barrel Is still
maintained. The cars contain about
$4,000 barrels. The potatoes are con-
signed to commission men In this city,
and many of the cars have been in the
yards since last Thursday. The specu-
lators fear further drop In prices and
for that reason risk being compelled to
pay demurrage rather than put the
tubers on the market.
Samuel G.. Sharwell, chief inspector
Of food and drugs for the board of
health, made an inspection of the po--
tatoes. He found them I'm first class
condition. None of the cars now stored
In the freight yard contains tainted
vegetables, although evidences of
wholesale dumping of rotten vegeta-
bles was found on the dumps adjoining
the tracks. Several discarded barrels
of potatoes which were found to have
'rermented had been picked over 6y
small boys for those that were not en-
til ely spoiled.
Inspector Sharwell said persons dis
carding or condemning vegetables
should be compelled to denature them
with disinfectant to prevent their be-
ing used for food, as the consumption
of soft, slimy. potatoes such as could
be had from the discarded piles was
attended with considerable danger.
The congestion caused by failure OF
the consignees to remove their prop
erty caused the railroad company to
remove many cars to the South street
yards last week. Very heavy ship
ments are expected to arrive from
south Jersey from now on, and the ar
rivals will probably cause a record
slump In the produce market. A price
of $3.50 barrel is predicted, and all
indications point to such a price If the
market manipulators are compelled to
keep their hands off. Potato storage
houses are already filed to capacity,
and the public should get the benefit of
one of the biggest potato crops in years

would be turned over the city, 1t hav-
ing been found that necessary repairs
would require the expenditure of too
much money. Since that time moth
Ing had been heard of the machine.
Councilman Rue stated that he be-
lieved some action should be taken
to secure the machine.
Councilman Haclxett referred to the
letter the city had sent the N. Y &
l.. u. r. r. Co., about the ringing
or the warning bells, and after call
ing tho attention of the council to the
unfinished Henry street improve
ment at the railroad crossing, he said
that he believed the city should finish
one thing before attempting to rem
edy another. He said that the rail-
road had performed its part of the
agreement by laying sewer pipes un-
der the railroad, but that the city had
failed to do It's part in finishing the
work that would be necessary for the
proper care of the drainage from the
Henry street surface sewer. He said
that action was necessary in order
to-. complete the improvements and
relieve property owners in that vi
cinity whose cellars had been repeat-
edly flooded.
CMouncilman Rue, in reply, said
that the work had been delayed be-

The Tempest was able to make one
round of the course. and was award
