Drop Comes Quickly.

At that time IL seemed that the proc
esses of evening up the market might
work out quite slowly over an extended
period Of time. No one could predict
then the slump in grains. except corn, and
in cottons and stocks that has followed.
But It was evident then to the close OBJ
server OF the situation that grain, cot
ton, and stock markets were hung up so
high and were in such a feverish state
that a fall was inevitable. Last week
the deluge came. Grains have declined
to a point where dollar wheat" is again
the possibility. Cotton slumped SO a
bale and more, while stocks have fallen
back 10 TO . per cent
Accompanying the drop has been the
usual disSensiOns among the market
cliques whose business It IS 10 fight one
another on the exchanges. we read IN
the financial reports from New York,
Chicago, and New Orleans that one party
has been selling out the holdings Of an
other and that drastic retaliation has
followed from the party thus attacked.

High Prices May Not Return.
By j. CLINTON RANSOM.

Writing at the close OF last month
about the high prices Of food products,
Il was pointed out that the output Of
wheat in Australia. Egypt. and Argen-
tina had put the brakes upon speculation
In Chicago and that evidences were not
lacking that a fall In the price of wheat
was imminent,
At the same time it was shown that
forces then at work would in all likeli-
hood cause a drop in the price Of cot
ton. especially as the mills were curtail-
ing their output because Of the high price
of raw cotton. BY. a similar process it
was argued that with the speculative
prices OF these commodities falling, stocks
would weaken and drop from the top
notch" Of December quotations might be
expected.

Millions OF Red Cross
Seals Already Sold
tuberculosis Fighters Will Rea-
lie $500, OOO-H Hundred
Thousand helping in Sale
Will Double Last
Years Record.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 20, 1910.
Reports from headquarters of the
American Red Cross given out to-
day indicate that at the beginning
of the last week of the sale of
Christmas Seals, nearly 100000
have been sold and that the pros
poets are bright for a sale of more
than 100000.
The actual number of Seals sold
to date is nearly 100000 in excess
of the entire number sold in 1909
and is already nearly three times
the sale of 1908. If the sale this
week keeps up at the same rate as
since December list, the national
authorities estimate that over $780,
900 will be added to the tuberculosis
funds in all parts of the country.
This will be double the amount re-
allied last year.
Engaged in this campaign for
selling Red Cross Seals is an army
of over 100000, including men
women, and children Of every rank
and station. Agents have been ap-
pointed in one or more places in
every state, except Idaho and Mon
tana. Among the groups and in
stitutions which are assisting in the
movement are the Anti-Tuberculosis
Societies, Red Cross Chapters,
Women's Clubs, Labor Unions,
Lodges, Schools, Banks, Theaters,
Department Stores, Hospitals, and
innumerable other agencies. Thous-
ands of dollars worth Of advertising
is being donated to the campaign,
and many millions of circulars are
being distributed to remind people
to buy Red Cross Seals.
