FLUCTUATIONS in
PRICES ARE Wild
Close Is Steady After Quo
tations Had Dropped
During Early Session.

Chicago Feb. 1o.-Stop-loss selling
tumbled down prices rapidly today in
the wheat market here. Attempts,
however by leading shorts. to collect
profits led to an excited rebound. The
selling furry began after a moderate
opening. The advance was in response
to unexpected firmness in Liverpool,
based on predictions that shipments
from Argentina and Australia would
remain light. The bulls who had been
unable to unload on yesterdays de-
cline here seized the new opportunity
and in doing so dislodged innumerable
stop-loss orders to sell. The fluctua-
tions covered a range of 4Ac. Open
ing prices for wheat were 1.2S to 1.2S u
for May. 1908 to 1.21A for July, a
rise of h@A to ss@%. When com
parative steadiness had been restored
the market stood at about 112c under
yesterdays finish. The close was I'M

was testified before the Senate com
mittee that the farm labor in Yucca
tan is enslaved
The British manager OF one Of the
fucatan railroads was testifying
He kept talking about slaves and

cept Yucatan," replied the railroad
man. Then he went on to tell how
the wretched Yucatan slaves are
held in bondage through debt. Eth.
er they actually owe their masters
money, or they are assumed to owe
them. But however real or fanciful
their debts, they can never ransom
themselves, because the masters re.
fuse to accept money in payment
even should the slaves be able to
save it. which they are not. When a
man buys slave, he simply pays to
the slaves master the sum which
the master says the slave owes him.
The master makes this sum whatev.
er he considers the slave Is worth to
him.
Carranza, said this railroad man,
came into power with good inten.
tions toward the slaves. He enamel
pated them officially, but the law is
not obeyed. 1t simply transferred
the ownership of the slaves to the
government officials, and now the
planters, in order to get slaves, must
pay money to the officials. It's a
nice little system for the planters
and officials.
