It would seem from this that the price of potatoes in the east would be very argely controlled by freight and car shortage‘and the whole problem would become one of distribution. The very high prices at which other food pro- ducts are selling, however, justify a range of potato prices higher than in former years.” At food administration headquarters tonight it was announced that 12 396 signed pledge cards had been received during the day. making the revise of- ficial total 150.637.

P THREE MONTHS’ SENTENCE FOR FATHER MICHAEL DALY For Having in His Possession a Code Book at Liverpool. Liverpool, Nov. 8.—Father Michael Daly, who has been for two years in the United States and_who arrived here recently from New York, has been sentenced to three months’ imprison- ment for having in his possession a code by which the communication of paval and_ military information was possible. He was aléo charged with having two letters for conveyance into the United Kingdom and with making a false declaration to an alien officer. Father Daly eaid the code had been given to him in the United States by a Father Murphy who was interested in the Sinn Fein movement and who requested Father Daly to use it to send news concerning Ireland. g ey Petrograd in the hands of the radicals 3t would be difficult to learn the true state of affairs. New Power May Be Short Lived. ‘The suggestion that the new power at Petrograd may be short-lived is ‘based to an extent upon the fact that the Cossacks, the best military force in Russia, though extremely jealous of their own local liberties, always have been reckoned upon to support a strong conservative government. It was conceived in some quarters that if Kerensky, fleeing from the capital, should be abia to bring to his sup- port General Korniloff, the strong man of the Russian army, with his Cossack backers, he might set up a new and stronger government at Moscow, Where he could count upon the loyalty of a majority of the large population of that anclent capital. Hope Placed in Korniloff. An obstacle to the guccess of such & plan is found in the possibility that Korniloff, embittered by the treatment Be had recelved at the hands of Ke- yensky when the latter was vacillat- ing between the radicals and the con scryatives, might refuse to risk his future upon such an uncertain leader. Some officials think this compromising by Kerensky was largely responsible for his disaster. Recalling that even the Bolshevikis themselves have declared for “a demo- eratic peace, which is opposed to the German idea” it is believed to be Bardly possible that on this basls Ger- the Wall street was slow to realize the importance of the news from Petro- grad, which came during the forenoon trading. The market continued strong for a period, but once the extent of the coup @ etat became known, stocks 3 were thrown over in larger volume than at any time in the three months of almost uninterrupted lquidation. A feature of the day’s activity which bore no direct relation to Interna- tional affairs was the greater weakness of local street railway issues and higher grade utilities, including Amer- ican _Telephone and Western Union clegraph. Extreme reactions In those shares ranged from three to five points. Declines in the general list were or- derly at first, but the movement bor- dered on demoralization as it gathered greater momentum in the early after- noon. U. S.
