' - MARINE PRODUCTS IN AGTIVE DEMAND Fish Market Thronged With Retailers Buying Supplies for Tomorrow. Municipal Pish Market this morning was a scene of activity, retailers being there to get supplies for their, Friday trade, while others will do their buying late in the ai or tomorrow morning. Warm weather probably prevented many retaflers from appearing there today, not wanting to keep their sup- plies oven%l:: lesalers had sup- plies more le to meet demands at prices they dered reasonsble to cheap. . Oysters, plentiful and in good condi- tion, were not much in demand, accord- ing to reports, and prices were lower. Selected stock sold at $2.15 a gallon, | standards being offered at $1.85. Fish Quotations. Rockfish, always in demand, were offered at 22 cents for the large fish and 15 cents for the medium and small . There were plenty of gray trout to be had at 10 cents a pound, the salmon trout bringing 16 cents. Butterfish were quoted at 15, flounders at 14 and croakers at 12 cents a pound. Shipped-in fish from the North and South also were offered at a wide range of prices. ‘Warm weather this morning gave the fruit and vegetable market much the appearance of the Summer season. From distant and nearby points dealers had supplies of choice fruits and vege- tables to offer the trade, but the small number of buyers made the market draggy. Practically no changes wege reported this morning, prices of mest commodi- | ties being the same as prices reported yesterday. Today’s Wholesale Market.

Potato Growers of Four States Meeting Today. By the Associated Press. NORFOLK, Va., November 8.—The problem of marketing the potato crop of Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and South Carolina will be one of the principal matters to be considered at a two-day conference, opening here to- day, of the marketing experts from the four States named. The conference was called by the Virginia Conservation and Development Commission and, in addition to experts from the State gov- ernments, will be attended by repre- sentatives of the Federal Government and growers. It is the purpose of the conference, according to William E. Carson, chair- man of the Virginia commission, to work out some systematic method by which the potato crop next season may be disposed of at a profit to the growers. CARRIER MERGERS BELIEVED LIKELY Business Men Expect Hoover to Assist Movement for Rail Combines. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, November 8.—There ‘whs never any doubt in the Wall Street mind of Herbert Hoover's election. This was plainly indicated in the two politi- cal barometers in the financial district— namely, the stock market and the bet- ting ring—which for weeks have been indicating Republican success. So while there was no element of surprise in Tuesday's results, the overwhelming character of them was sufficient to bring about another remarkable market demonstration. ‘This follows the precedent established in 1924, except that the numerous new high record prices yesterday supple- ment a four-year period of advances and therefore reveal the tremendous vitality of the market and the scope of public_ participation in it. Bankers and brokers are endeavoring to measure the probable effect during the next few months of the indorsement which the American public has given of the Coolidge policies and to deter~ mine the direction in which most ac- tivity is now likely to occur in carrying out such a business administration as Mr. Hoover will establish. It is confidently believed, for one | thing, that the position of the public utilities has been strengthened by the election. This was suggested by yes- terday's buoyancy in stocks of electric light and power companies. It is also felt that the influence of the President- elect will be behind the strong tendency toward consolidation that is apparent in the industrial world. This also may reach over into the field of transporta- tion. 1In fact, one of the strongest hopes is that Mr. Hoover will get be- hind the railroad consolidation move- ment and insist that railroad executives and the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion formulate a workable plan for mergers in the Southwest and in the Northwest. One of the main issues before Con- gress this Winter will be the adminis- tration of the Federal Reserve System and probably an investigation into the matter of brokers’ loans. There have been rumors that Mr. Hoover would re- quest Secretary, Mellon to continue in office and carry out the financial pro- gram of the Government same lines as for the past four years. by a strong party element Congress, Mr. Hoover would be able to resist any effort to upset the Federal Reserve System and to keep the bank- ing business of the country out of politics, and in this he will have Mr. concerned. The feeling exists amon some of the largest private banking an national bank representatives that he is not in favor of loans to foreign gov- ernments of ‘an unproductive nature and that he is unsympathetic with the general subject of reparations and em- Pphatically opposed to debt cancellation. el NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET NEW YORK, November 8 (Special).— White cabbage from Central and Western New York was in plentiful Jol sales were consummated at 30.00 to 35.00 per ton.

BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, November 8.—Traffic congestion, experienced in practically every city in the country during the| srom g political campaign and culminating Tuesday night, has crystallized the de- termination of traction lines and bus the United made plain today by officials of the National Electric Rallways Association. Many of the traction men are urging that the traction companies take over and operate the taxi units. The trac- tion men say taxicabs, particularly those of the “cruising” type, are chiefly responsible for traffic congestion in urban centers, and this condition is dae to the fact that taxis are permitted to run wild in most cities in as large numbers as desired by owners. The only form of regulation in most cities is by the police, and admittedly this is very elastic. i Storrs’ Statement. Lucius 8. Storrs, managing director of the American Electric Railway As- sociation, has just given public ut- terance to the feeling which is declared w\mbl:& in traction and some bus o “So far,” Mr. Storrs declared, “the public servant, the taxicab, has not been subjected to any measure of regu- lation and doubtiess this accounts for a large measure of the traffic problem. 1t would seem desirable from all stand- points that steps should be taken to establish soime regulation over this agency by which a better traffic super- vision may be effected.” In half a dezen or more instances, notably Philadelphia and Minneapolis, the local traction companies have bought up taxicabs. But the invest- ment has not always been a tremendcus success. In some cities taxicab men are going into group carrying, along lines not dissimilar to the operations of jitneys of & dozen years back. The only differ- ence is that they are charging higher fares. The jitneys, trying to operate for 5 cents, were a faflure. Legisiation, urged by traction men, also aided in putting them out of business. The new plan that is being followed by taxicabs s to carry a passanger to any part of the city for a stated sum, usually 25 cents. The driver reserves the right, however, to pick other pas- sengers on the way at 25 cents a head it he has an opportunity. These vehicles are cutting in on the receipts of regulated carricrs. D. C. Plan Recalled. wAn attempt by taxicab companies in ashington recently hour service at, 10 cents a passenger failed. The plan of the taxicab own>rs was to render service to crowds during the rush hours and return to their regular taxi service durinrg the re- mainder of ths day. The scheme worked all right for a day or two, and then a rain came up. Of course, the demand for taxicabs at the regular rates of fare, far above 10 cents, was great, and the result wos that all of the taxis granting the 10 cent service quickly deserted their posts.
