MAXWELL ST. MARKET LARGER
The city market at Maxwell street,
where hundreds of pushcaTt mer-
chants sell to residents Of the
ghetto and the great West Side at
prices far below those of the loop,
started out on a new, bigger step in
its career today.
Several weeks ago the city cOUn-
ell at the request Of Aid. Miller and
Franz granted . the sidewalk mer-
chants permission to extend their
market for three blocks west of Hal
Sted on Maxwell. D..
Up to this time they had been per-
mitted to stand their carts only on
Maxwell for three blocks east of Hal
sted. They were Overcrowded and,
with the advent Of Unreasonably high
prices, truck farmers wanted to come
in from the outskirts of the city to
sell alongside the peddlers who
bought from the commission men.
This could not be done because
there was not enough room for the
OUt-Of-tOwn wagons The opening
of the other three blocks scheduled
for today will give them all a chance
to place along the curb and sell.
An invitation to farmers was offer
ed today by Jacob Bernheim, presi-
dent Of the Maxwell Street Business
Mems assn. The city charges 10
cents a day for the expense Of flush
ing the streets at the end of the days
business.
Fruits, vegetables, eggs, butter,
cheese, clothing and every sort of
household utensils are displayed for
sale at prices considerably lower
than loop stores charge.

The Coal Problem

From the American Review of Reviews
 The American nation might do well to realize that if it does not adopt this change voluntarily. it will be forced to do so, and that before long while. This is so for the reason that while we are only beginning to scratch the surface" our national coal deposit, we are exhaust ing some fields rapidly. It requires 100,0 0O0 acres of coal land every year to keep American in fuel. The eastern coal fields, which yield 80 per cent of this coal, can- not continue to endure this drain with out showing exhaustion. Indeed the east is beginning to take alarm, and the own CTS of some of the richest areas are al- ready talking of husbanding their SUD- plies that theirs own future may be cared for.
 And such careful husbanding of coal will alone postpone the inevitable day when the east must haul it's coal from, west of the Mississippi The mere sug- gestion of such a probability at once riv- cts attention upon the future coal trans portation problem. That is to say, in 1916, the thinly populated west. with coal under it's back yard. felt the pinch of a coal shortage because it was depending on long haul coal and the transportation lines were broken. What must happen to the densely populated east when it's coal measures are exhausted and when It's sources of coal supply are more than 2ooo miles away?

Real DOughnuts

From the New Yorck Times
 Why will some persons persist in speak ing of the holes in doughnuts? The real genuine article never had a hole in it. My memory goes back to 1S4O and earlier. and my boyhood experience extended over good part of Fairfield. Litchfeld and New Haven counties Connecticut, and Westchester county, New York, up to lSo0 Our mothers at that time are to be regarded as the best authority on old fashioned American cookery.
 The doughnut of that period consisted Of bread dough raised overnight with hop meal cakes, or "emptins," sweetened with brown sugar, shortened little and fried to rich brown in leaf lard and were somewhat larger than a goose egg and about the same shape. These were known among the old Dutch New Workers and are described in Barber's History of New York published about 1S40
 Wonder cakes" were. similar. with 2 little more shortening and sweetening. The dough was rolled about three-uuar- ters of an inch thick, cut into squares of three inches, with three slits, which were pressed apart into fantas stic shape. and were the idolized Sabbath day lunch. eaten under the maple tree Or the horse shed between the morning and aftrnoon srvices.
 I first remember crullers twisted and with holes when I came to New York in 1854 The very name of doughnut is sug- gestive of a round or oval shaped article

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. April 9.--The local cotton market made one of the stiff fest advances on record in discount ing the war events since the market closed last Thursday over the usual triple Easter holidays. Around the opening there was a bulge of from 84 to S9 points where heavy realizing met it. Late in the session realizing made for a sharp reaction from the advance and the close was 42 to 51 points down from the topmost level The last prices, however, showed a net gain compared to Thursdays close oi from 37 to AZ points
 In the early trading offerings were very slender and brokers met the de- mand with great difficulty. Once real izing commenced the market fell off about 30 points, but steadied on spot accounts. For while this influence sustained values fairly well but late in the day there was a rush to take profits which weighed rather heavily on the market.
 Spots were raised 75 points to 20.c5c a pound for middling. At the highest May stood at 2025c In both spots and futures new high records were made for 1917.

Coffee Market

New York. April 9.--The market for cof- fee futures was much more active today and at times appeared to be excited by the political advices from Brazil appre- hensions that imports might be interfered with by commerce raiders, and renewed talk of an import duty. The market opened at an advance of g to 51 points, and sold 45 to 53 points net higher dur ing the early trading with July touching S.75c and December 9.05c, compared with 764c to 7.Ssc. the low point of last Mon day Houses with Wall street and cotton trade connections were active buyers on the advance. but there was some selling by trade interests supposedly against cost and freight offers, while the market also met considerable realizing. Prices eased off several points in consequence, July selling down to S.46c and December to S70c but the decline brought in some fresh buying and the close showed net advance of 26 to 35 points. Sales were reported of 1s6,250 bags; April SAC; May, S49c; June, S.52c; July, S.55c; August, S.61c; September, S.66c; October. S.71c: Novem- Der, 8.77c: December, S.S3c: January, S.93c; February, 9.01c; March 9.03c.
 Spot coffee firmer; Rio 7's, 10c; Santos As, 101s. Tt was reported in cost and freight circles that well described Santos Fs which had sold at 9.60c on Satur- day, were not offered here below 10c to- day, London credits.
 Owing to the holiday, the only official quotations from Brazil were on Santos futures which lost an opening advance. Brazilian port receipts for three days 27,000; Jundiahy receipts 16,000 Santos cleared 56,O00 for New York.

shenard & Gluck,s Letter

(Received over w. E. Campbell's pri- vate wire.)
 New Orleans, April 9.-(SpeciaI) The most sensational bulge in cotton since excited markets of last fall was witnessed today when, after Easter holidays, trade was called upon to dis count actual war conditions. The strongest months rose about $4.50 bale around opening, before realizing of profits on cotton recently bought checked the upward movement.
 Sentiment is very bullish as the re- suit of the growing conviction that supplies of raw cotton left unsold in the south will have to be stretched to meet the increased requirements of the world with so many nations on a war footing. over the holidays the spot demand strengthened remarkably and now all parts of the south are send ing in the most bullish spot accounts of the season.
 Possibly the most important feature of the present situation is the way .new crop conditions become more and more unsatisfactory as the season grows older. Unless a great and sud- ien change takes places shortly, the outlook can be for only a small crop from the start
 The market has had an important advance and is now trading at con- paratively high levels. While it Is wise to take profits at almost any time and while we would not advise against feallzing now. we do not believe the market to be a sale otherwise than to take profits and we advise replacing any sold-out lines on good reactions.

SENSATIONAL RISE
 IN COTTON COMES
 ON ADVERSE REPORT

New York, April 9.--A scare of near sensational opening advances in tha history of the cotton trade today May sold at 21.25c and July at 21.40c, or 113 to 156 points above the closing price of last Thursday and in the case of May contracts no less than $43.75 pc, bale above the low level reached on the break of February. After the cov- erjng movement subsided somewhat prices eased off under heavy realiz. ing. May breaking to 2O.40c and July to 2O.03c in the late trading and clos ing at 2O.50c and 2OS2c. respectively. The general list closed easy, although last prices showed a net advance of B. to 4S points.
 The general list opened strong aj an advance of 62 to 135 points on an active and excited buying movement Near month shorts had shown consid- erable alarm before the Easter holi- days owing to continued shipment,: from the local stock and uneasiness over the new crop outlook This alarm seemed to be increased by reports o1 unfavorable weather in the eastern belt over the weekend. the bullish view of this country's entrance into the war and apprehensions that the situ- ation as to grain and foodstuffs would affect the cotton acreage. New crop months at the best point showed a net advance of S1 toN101 points with Oc- tober selling at 1975c and December at 19.60c. This first rush of buyina orders was supplied at the advance by realizing and after very irregular middle session the market broke pret- ty sharply during the afternoon. Oc- tober sold off to 19c and Decembe,. to 19.10c. with active months gener ally losing all but 19 to 30 points of the early advance. Closing prices were several points up from the lowest on renewed covering and fresh buying of new crop deliveries. A number of wires were received here during the day, in d1cating nervousness over prospective food supplies and increasing agitation for diversified farming in the belt Bulls were also talking an enormous demand for cotton goods to supply army needs and reports that ocean freight room to Liverpool was stiIl easier, being quoted at $3 nominal were probably factor on the advance. sharp break in grain may have been responsible for some western sellin;s of cotton on the afternoon decline.

FACTORS IN STOCK MARKET DISTURBING
 T0PRESENT PRICES

New York, April 9.-The many disturb Ing factors of the past week were aug mented today by additional unfavorable crop reports, cratic and spectacular movements in the commodities markets with this government Early quotations were mainly and in some instances ma terially higher, but these gains, it later developed, were largeiy in the nature or short covering. the market losing all It's advantage in the general liquidation of the last hour.
 Banking interests expressed their dis appointment at the absence of definite advices from Washington regarding pros pective government bond issues and the question of taxation On neither of these matters has Wall street yet been consulted by the accredited fiscal authori- ties, it is said.
 Exchange markets were strong and ac- tive, business being on larger scale than for weeks past. Italian remittances were the only rates to hold back. Not even nominal quotations on the Germanic countries were obtainable.
 During the forenoon, when the greater part of the days business was transacted United States Steel and various other in- dustrials of the same class, as well as munitions and equipments. made gains of to points. Shipp1ngs and metals were less responsive, but strong, with motors and a score of speculative stocks. Ohio Gas, for instance, more than re- gaining it's loss of last Saturday by ad- vancing almost ' points to 135.
 The ease with which these issues sol6 off, probably in the absence of outside interest, was in itself proof of the mar ket's professional character. Last weels's heaviness in rails was accentuated by de clines of to points In the investmen group. Delaware and Hudson losing over 6 points. Total sales amounted to 6s500I shares.
 The heaviness of stocks extended te a full point, but the international group was strong. Total sales, par value, az gregated $6450,000.
 In government bond& the only feature was a point advance in coupon As on call.
