More than ordinary qualification at
taches to- the statistics read before the
Tuberculosis Congress in Washington
by Dr. Hermann NJ. Biggs of the Health
Department of New York City. Con-
trary to the alarming assertions that
have been made in some quarters, the
figures show material lessening in
the death rate from this disease during
the decade. Only in Chicago of the
cities included in the report has the
rate risen There the general death
rate also has slightly advanced, al
though it is still below that of New
York. Boston or Philadelphia In New
York city the general death rate has
fallen from 1891 to 1913, and that from
tuberculosis from 2.29 to 1.76. This is a
decrease in each case of about twenty
four per cent Paris seems to be hay
ing the greatest difficulty of all in
fighting the malady, her death rate
for it being nearly doubt that Of any
of the rest. Nevertheless, that rate is
lower by about seventeen per cent than
it was ten years ago. Prof. Irving Fish
er's calculation of a social loss" of
$50, 100000 year from this source is
but less significant than
the $l5,O000OO that is now being spent
annually in limiting the ravages of tu-
berculosis. The first great step has
been taken in recognizing the enemy
and declaring war; What remains is to
press the advantage thus gained.

PRICES SAG AFTER
 AN EARLY ADVANCE
Census Report About What Was Expected-ClOse
 Is Steady

New York, December 9.-A sharp open ing advance was followed by gradually sagging prices in the cotton market to- day and the close was steady net points higher to ? points lower
 The census report, showing 11,S44, 432 bales ginned to December 1 proved about in line with local expectations and the market opened firm at an advance of IS to 21 points on over-Sunday buying or ders, covering and scattering support en- couraged by relatively firm cables and the continued bullish average of trade in spot Offerings were quiet, heavy at the initial advance, however, and 1t appeared that the circulation of the ginning figures brought fin a good many liquidating or ders from outside sources Wall street selling was also a factor. attributed part ly to the unsettled situation in the stock market, and while there was moderate rallies from time to time, the general ten dency of prices was downward with the near months selling or points under the closing figures of Saturday during the afternoon. Closing prices were within a point or two of the lowest.
 The amount of cotton glnned to De- cember l was made the basis for widely varying mathematical calculations as to the total yield. The returns for the last half of November were the largest on record, which seem to predict that gin ming for the balance of the season would be correspondingly full. while others claimed that not more than the average, or about 2,190,000 bales, remained to be ginned, and still others were inclined to strengthen the smaller estimates of the yield by pointing out that in 1909 only 900 bales were ginned after Decem. Der 1. Generally speaking, however, the talk around the ring was that the large ginning for the period placed small crop estimates on the defensive, temporarily at least, and rendered the next report of tho census bureau, due on December 20, very important factor. The govern ments estimate of the crop is exp>cted next Thursday afternoon and many local traders are now predicting an estimate of around or slightly over 100000 bales, excluding linters.

WHEAT SELLS AT
 LOWEST PRICES
Mammoth Increase in Visi- ble Supply Had Much to
 Do With Weakening

Chicago. December 9.-Wheat sold today at the lowest ices this season. A mammoth increase in the United States visible supply total had much to do with weakening the trade. The gov- ernment crop report also being bear ish came too late to affect prices. The close was heavy at net decline of a @1Ac to 1ssc. Corn finished ss @ E c down, oats off B@hc to ac and pro- visions with loss of 5d25c.
 Government figures on wheat proved higher than expected. both as to con- dition and as to acreage.
 Private estimates had been against the bulls though to a much less extent than tho official report. Argentine re- ports of a fiattering nature gave the trade a downward impetus at the be- ginning. Receipts greatly in excess of last year and weakness in the stock market acted also as deterrents. Lead ing houees supported wheat at BOG, and later at s91sc for May, buying moro than 1000 bushels It was not until the price touched S9c that the decline could be checked 14 c under any pre- vious record for the present crop. Latest sales, 89mS9kc, showed a net loss of 1Amlssc. Enlarged offerings from Iowa and Illinois weighed on corn, espe- cially the December option.
 Colder weather favored marketing. May ranged between 47Tc and 4sAc' closing weak, 9sc down at 47% n 4Sc- Cash grades were slow. No. yellow was quoted at 4sA @57hc for carload consignments. Statements that Argen- tina was underselling the United States counted against the bull in oats. Out side limits reached by May were S2A @ 32c and 32Ac, with the close 1sc nei down at 32ssc.
 Provisions fell notwithstanding that hog receipts were less than anticipated The larger packers were selling and there were reports of lessened shipping trade. January pork, which led the de- cline, suffered a fall of a quarter Of a dollar.

New orleans, December 9.-cottoh futures opened steady at an advance of il to IT points on the census re- port on ginning of 11,Si4,432 pales turned in up to the end of November. This was considered greatly under general expectations and caused heavy buying by shorts.
 A moderate amount of buying Tor long account was encouraged by the belief among some traders that the ginning figures pointed to a govern ment estimate Thursday of under l4- 900. 900 bales for the total crop. The market was quiet but very steady in the early trading. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were r to 21 points up.
 Around the middle of the forenoon longs took advantage of the hard spo feeling to liquidate their staple anc the trade began to sag.
 Accumulation of offerings became heavy and remained so until prices were forced down to a net decline oi 3 to 5 points This sag brought In re- newed purchases and the trade re- covered although 1t had no snap and 1t was evident both sides were willing to even up in preparation for the gov ernment's annual crop estimate Thurs day At noon prices were to 10 points up.
