prospects seemed to be unsettled by the
reported attitude of Russia, and there
was renewal of local pressure as we'll
as scattering liquidation. Trade inter,
ests were buyers at the decline and
there was no change in the general
character of the spot news.
The early decline was followed by a
rally on trade buying and covering, but
the market broke again in the late

with January selling up to 1850 and

ORIGIN RED CROSS SEALS.
Few Who Purchase Stamps know
j., How Idea Originated.

Over S3,250,O00 has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas seals in the last
eight years, and yet many people VINO
will buy these holiday stickers at tins
ninth annual sale do not know how
the idea originated.
While Red Cross seals really date
back to the civil war when charity
stamps were first used, the first
campaign to sell holiday stickers for
the tuberculosis fight was made nine
years ago in Delaware. Miss Emily
p. Bissell of Wilmington read an art
icle by Jacob Riis describing stamps
used for tuberculosis work in Norway,
and she conceived the idea Of a SIMILAR
plan here. Single handed, she launch
ed sale which resulted in $4,000
clear money. When Miss Bissell
tried to convince the American Red
Cross that this idea should be made
national as peace activity OF that
society, she met with opposition but
finally persuaded the authorities, with
the result that on an investment OF a
few hundred dollars $4,000 worth OF
seals was sold in 1908 and the great
national campaign was launched. Since
then the sale has gone forward by
leaps and bounds, until now the Red
| Cross seal is an institution in the
United States, and offers to every
one a chance to help in the peoples
fight against the peoples disease.
Last year over 76,00O,O00 seals were
sold, and this year the American
Red Cross and the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention OF
Tuberculosis, who conduct the sale, are
out for 100, 100000 sale or S1,000,O00,-
900 for the tuberculosis war;
The policy on which the sale is con
Quoted is that the money, except FOL
the deduction Of legitimate expenses
shall remain in the community where
the seals are sold.
