ILLICIT TRAFFIC ENORMOUS
Many Stirring Stories About Snug

for Swedish coastguards to
Stop Them.

Stockholm. Rum running into
Sweden from Germany has devel-
oped into something like a public
scandal, say Swedish newspapers.
The broken nature of the coast line
and the thousands Of small Islands
dotting the sea approaches are all In
favor of smuggling enterprise.
The craft engaged in this trade are
generally small, fast-salling schooners.

The imperial German navy. Many of
the shippers bear names well known
In the records of submarine activity.
Their daring and experience makes 1t
very difficult for Swedish coastguards
to stop them.
Landed After Night.
From Reval, Rostock, Stettin, Lu-
beck and other German ports these
vessels put to sea, their cargo always
consigned, according to the ships pa
pers, to some Finnish port. Once
among the rocky archipelago of east
ern Sweden, the cargo is landed piece
meal after nightfall on the rocks, from
which it is later removed by accom-
plices ashore, who have a widely ram
ified organization for the inland dis
tribution of the goods.
This Illicit traffic is said by Swedish
papers to be enormous. The papers
are full of stirring stories about SNUG
glers and their doings. They remain
outside the territorial waters, cruising
about until their friends seize their
chance to rush out in fast motor boats,
often in a heavy gale, transship the
liquor and disappear in the dangerous
labyrinth of the archipelago.
Lately the police have started a
scheme to beat the rum runners at
their own game. The other day q

Various reasons were brought for

shifting of the professional spectators.

In all events, recent assertions of the
oversold condition Of the market were

COTTON MARKET

New York. March 23.-Thc cotton
market had the most active opening to-
day in some weeks. attended by an ad-
vance of 10 to 80 points in first prices.
The chief basis of strength was pre-

strong cables, better Manchester advic"s
and moro hopeful feeling in regard TO
European conditions.
Commission houses and Liverpool also
bought, while Wall street interests took
profits on cotton purchased in the last
few days. southern wire houses sold
moderately, but tn" offerings were well
absorbed by commission concerns and
retained all the early gains until up to
twenty minutes after the opening.
