NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, January 1S.-The mar
ket for coffee futures was quiet but
steadier today. In some quarters the
improved tone was attributed to the
disparity between futures quotations
and the primary view of values, which
was supposed to have checked selling
and brought in some scattering de-
mand. The bulk Of the buying, how
ever, was believed to be In the way
Of covering for over the week end,
which was probably stimulated by an
advance in the market for futures at
Santos. The opening here was 10 to
Is points higher and the market
closed at net advance of Is to 81

December at 1928. Closing bids:

Street Perils Require Punishments

To the Editor Of The Star:
The increasing number of accidents
and of deaths upon the public high
ways tho past few months, caused
by the reckless driving of automo-
biles and incompetent handling of
our street cars. is appalling. The
highways of the city are primarily
for the convenience of the citizen
who walks, and, If the laws are de-
fective in the power conferred on
the police to make them safe for that
citizen. Congress should Immediately
get busy to perfect legislation in that
direction
The automobile is a great and use
full invention, of much benefit when
used legitimately; but 1t Is not an
unmixed benefit, and when its proper
use Is abused it becomes a fitting
subject for legislative repression and
regulation. With it's advent as q COM
mercially practical vehicle came a
new menace to the public. This dan
ger was not foreseen at the begin
ming, but 1t has now grown into pro-
portions which demand drastic legis-
lation.
No person or persons can have
legal or moral right to monopoiize
the streets for any purpose, to the
invasion Of the equal rights OF others
The unusual width Of our streets.
with it's invitation to drivers of ali
kinds Of vehicles to exercise an UNI
safe license as TO speed. coupled with
the Get there. Eli" spirit that per-
vades all classes. calls for a rigid
law of repression and a strict en-
forcement thereof. The public press
of Washington is doing all In it's
power to aid in forcibIy saying to
the drivers Of motor vehicles Of Vari-
GUS kinds: "You must get out Of
your minds the notion that there is
no good walker but q dead walker"
If fines will not suffice, prison walls
and the changing may prove more
effective. 1t would seem that the
numhs. Of accidents caused BY street
cars is more than is consonant either
with best modern appliances or the
competent handling Of those ap-
'plianess. The time 10 put an end to
the lensthening list ef trolley car

mum erous - to be taken by Z re-
signed public as a matter Of course

of the war but by the ordinary
growth of the country. had fully de-
Veloped a situation where something
had to be done to stabilize or to clar-
ify the railroad position in the coun-
try.
THE financial operations of the
government, those growing out of the
war, are, of course, affected by the
condition of the markets of the coun-
try. and if such a large part of the
credit basis of the country as the Sc
securities was in doubt, or occupied
an anomalous position, shrinking in
value all the time, with shrinkage in
the value of the assets of the savings
banks, trust companies and banks, as
well as the credit power of firms, in
dividualS and corporations which ha d
large part of their assets invested
IN such securities and which had to
use them as the basis of credit which
they had to get from banks, a very
serious situation was presented to the
country"
Railroad Statement Recalled.
Somewhat in line with Mr. Nc
Adoo's views on corporation securi-
ties as the basis of credit, 1t is
pertinent to recall his comment on
the desirability of unification of rail-
roads, elimination of that COMPETE
ton commanded by the law and the
subsequent return of the roads to
private ownership. He said:
From the public standpoint it is
necessary that government posses
sion and control of railroads shall
be employed to remove for the time
wasteful duplication of effort, to the
end that every energy shall be
mobilized upon the production of the
greatest amount of transportation
with the least expenditure of labor,
material and money. The result of
this process of unifica ton will be
that when the war ends the railroads
will be to a large extent disabled for
the Immediate resumption of their old
competitive status.
at will be clearly contrary to the
public interest that the railroads
thus hampered in their ability to
compete shall be returned to private
management before the adoption of
proper methods of public control to
take the place of the competition
which win have been substantially
extinguished. From the standpoint
of the owners of railroad securities.
it will be. in my judgment highly in
furious, to throw the railroads back
into their control Immediately after
the war ends. either without legisla-
ton for their reasonable protection or
with legislation hastily devised and
adopted under pressure"
Mr.. McAdoo said he favored Some
form of government regulation and
control of far stronger. more intel
ligent and effective character than we
have had heretofore. because 1 am
satisfied that a stronger government
control will be demanded and will
have to be worked out. both in the
interest of the security holders and
the government"
One of the senators at the hearing
said: IT take it for granted that there
is nobody on this committee that be-
lieves we will return to the old COM
petitive system of running the rail-
roads" There was no dissent from
that statement

LONDON. December % Correspond

of the $4,000 American sailers who
visited London before leaving for

what they thought of the metropolis.
"I like your town, all right" one

'em in punches of fives." Other COM
ments were:
