Coffee Futures.-The weakness in the
market yesterday was attributed to the
free offerings by the same importing
interests which have been on the selling
side since the exchange reopened. The
opening was at decline of 10 to 35
points, but prices worked upward late
in the morning on a little weekend
covering, closing at net declines of to
10 points.

February out of its Brazil holdings. So

Cotton

An opening break in the cotton mar
ket was followed by rather sharp
rally. but there seemed to be little de-
mand, except to cover shorts for over
the week end, and prices eased off again
IN the later trading. March contracts
sold up from 27O4 to 27.43 and closed
at 2709, with the general list closing
barely steady at net decline of Is to

The reports of sweeping reductions

have promoted little buying on the
initial decline, but evidently failed to

Prosperity Ahead
In the Wool Trade

BOSTON. Jan 1.-The editor of "The

makes the following statement to The
Tribune;
Prosperous times are ahead and
probably also higher prices. The fact

WALL STREET OFFICE.

IL IS given out from the ATTORNEY
Generals office at Washington that
the Sherman antitrust laws will he
relnstated and vigorously enforced"
This means that any agreement as
to the selling price, in the United
States, of any article or product is
absolutely forbidden. The steel pro-
ducers, the copper producers, the
cotton manufacturers and others
may form associations for the ex-
port trade and agree upon the ex-
port price of the article. But il
there is any kind of combination as
to internal prices, they are liable
to the extreme penalty of the law.
In point of fact, in large number
of industries where exports are
large, as in cotton, copper and 9TH
ers, fixing the export price is some
what tantamount to fixing the price
III the United States, provided al
ways that the price abroad is low
enough to sell all of the surplus in
this country at that level. Intelli-
gent action under the Webb Pome
rene law should be a great stabilizer
Of the markets.
Probably the most interesting
single fact in our participation in
the war is that it brought practi-
cally no increase in the wholesale
prices of food. The "Annalist's"
compilation, of twenty-eight arti-
cles, shows an extreme variation,
from the mean price of the. last
twenty-one months, of less than a
per cent. This was in the face of
the fact that there were fixed prices
tor wheat and pork only. The great
rise in food prices had taken place
before April, 1917. 1t has shown
no decline in the last two months.
These facts may have consider
able bearing on the course of food
prices in the next year.
Most of those who argue about
the quantity" theory of money and
prices, for and against, ignore the
influence of the speed of circula-
ton. A freight train moving twice
as fast as another will double the
haul. Money also does work, and
has a rate of flow, or turnover, like
other goods" and things. In the
war Professor Irving Fisher COM
putes that the velocity of money
ard credits rose very sharply. A
general slackening in trade, on this
theory, would have the same effect
as sharp contraction of bank
credits.

HUMAN NATURE THE WORLD
OVER.

Whenever plans for new road are
announced it is human nature for
those who live along the way, either
to bring pressure to bear to bear to
have the thoroughfare constructed in
front of their door, or else to force
the Highway Department to make
detours to save cutting through a
piece of property.
Perhaps no single feature of road
work has caused the State Highway
Department as much trouble as these
two problems, that of wanting the
highway to pass along my door,
and that of securing adequate rights
of way properly located.
Such a policy always reacts against
the owner in the long run, since the
more direct the road and the better
located, the greater the travel will be
and less the cost on maintenance. 1t
follows, that increased property val
ues will more than offset concessions
made to the State.

Armistice Day, and in addition to
enrolment of members the nation
will be asked for $15,00O,000.
This fund will be used in part to
carry to a conclusion the Red Cross
service to soldiers, sailors and ma
rines still in camps and hospitals at
home and abroad. The other purpose
of money campaign is to raise funds
to relieve suffering of civilians in
foreign countries and to launch the
after-war program of the organiza-
ton. This includes an extension of
home service; an enlarged nursing
personnel to carry the message of
better health into rural communities,
and to organize forces to combat ep-
idemics; and also the extension of
Junior activities in American
schools.
This first peace-time Red Cross en-
rollment of members makes clear the
fact that the Red Cross plans to go
on for an indefinite period. There
will be annually one appeal for sup
renewal of memberships to carry out

Paris People Should Know How to

Disordered kidneys give many sig
mails of distress.
The secretions may be dark, con-
tain sediment.
Passages are sometimes frequent,
scanty, painful.
Backache is often present day and
night.
Headaches and dizzy spells may oc-
cur.
Weakened kidneys should receive
quick help.
Don't delay! Use special kidney
remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys, backache and urinary dis
orders.
Paris evidence proves their worth.
Chas. Stewart, tinsmith, Lilleston
avenue, says: 81 have had three or
four attacks of lumbago in the past
few years, the first being the worst.
There was a constant, dull ache in
my back all the time and often sharp,
cutting pains darted through it. 1t
sometimes seemed as though I could
hardly endure the misery. ! tried
different remedies with no results. l
heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and pro-
cured them from the Ardery Drug
Co. The first box helped me and I
continued taking them until cured.

never failed to relieve me-"

o. o. MCINTYRE PREDICTS ANTI
TOBACCO CRUSADE

Complacent New Workers used to
smile tolerantly at the thought that
prohibition would ever come to their
doorsteps-but it came. And so when
the news trickled from Washington
the other day that Nicotine Next"
was the new battle cry and after that
coffee and tea-well all the news
papers slapped the story on their
front pages and the shock proof viii
lage buzzed with excitement
Life would be insufferable to New
Workers, it would seem, without to-
bacco and all the Park Row editors
filled their pipes and slashed out
some ripping caustic editorials boot
ing at the whole idea. That is the
trouble with New York-they boot
and the rest of the country does
things and soon New York finds itself
dry or tobaccoless as the case may be-
Shrewed chroniclers of events de-
clare that there is more to this war
on tobacco than people seem to real
ize. In fact one noted lawyer de-
clared that the whole tobacco in
dustry was already in jeopardy and
must begin at once to fight for it's
life.
The Anti-Tobacco folk, it is point
ed out, have some mighty strong ar
guments which can be driven home
food-and the tobacco acreage is en-
food-and the tobacco creage is en-
ormous. The industry crowds thous-
ands of freight cars out of commits
sion for carrying other provisions.
Growing tobacco eXhausts the
ground, they claim, and of course
they are playing strong on the health
features-the irritated throat, highly
jumpy conditions of the nerves. the
heart and other physiological horrors
that have been handed down from
our school book physiology.
One learned educator pointed out
in a New York interview that the
growing of tobacco was of much
greater agricultural harm than beer
making. Making beer requires only
dDOuI VI lhC valley Ciop,
whereas the tobacco crop is an eco
nomic waste.
There is no effort at evasion on the
part of the Nicotine Next" crowd as
to the reason for the campaign. The
frank statement is made that large
employers of labor are crusading
purely from a standpoint of the eff
cheney of labor" A horse or cow is
not allowed to smoke or drink a cup
of tea. 1t has never been found nee
essary to consult the wishes of these
patient animals.
The same line of reasoning is fol-
lowed by the crusaders. The worker
who cannot have his glass of beer or
pipe of tobacco or cup of coffee,
would, like the horse and cow, theo-
retically be more efficient laborer
And the logic of this might lead still
further. If the worker would go TO
bed Immediately after his supper as
the horse and cow are made to do,
then he would be sure of full and
refreshing nights sleep and wake up
ready for very efficient days work.

educated to proper understanding
of this phase of road work yet, and,
as many of our State laws do not
give the highway commissioner full
authority, our main roads are usually
as full of kinks as pickaninny'
hair.
Not only does it impair the use
fulness of the road, but it adds con-
siderable to the factor of danger, for
frequent abrupt curves are made nee
essary by these detours.
