PRICE CUTTING, SELLING,
FEATURE CORN MARKET

CHICAGO. July 10.-ExtremelE
heavy selling and severe cutting OF
prices have attracted unusual atten-
ton this week to the corn market
Optimism in regard to the crop out
look was leading factor. together
with big receipts. Compared with
week ago, corn values this morning
showed setback of II Y to 151s. oats
were down ~ to SO a5&. and provi-
sions varying from IS decline to an
advance of As.
Rains and high temperature that
made field conditions superb for corn
would alone have been sufflcient TO
bring about radical bearish sentiment
in the corn trade, even If there had
not been the added incentive OF en-
Iarged receipts which on one dav here
totaled 500 carloads. Besides,
GOOD deal of notice was taken
of the difficulties of financing the 1920
crops. So nearly unanimous were the
consequent views Of traders that at
times the corn market was almost
without support. Predictions that
black rust might menace the safety
of spring wheat failed to have any
lasting opposite influence on the value
of corn and so likewise did talk OF
the remote possibility of a long period
of cool weather.
Declines in oats were checked by
opinions that farmers would not ac-
cept less than 20 cents a bushel
Packers buying rallied provisions
somewhat.

Albuauerque MORNING journal Sunday Dseebsr $ 1870.

We still think that we were right. They are the
only ones who persuade compel the wool
growers to get themselves into close cooperative
movement
AT this moment there should be strictly man
aged system of bonded warehouses in this state
where wool could be stored and whose warehouse
receipts would be assurance to the whole banking
world that given quantity of wool of given
quality behind every receipt to make it good.
Help in carrying loans could then be had in many
where wool could be stored and whose warehouse
banking quarters closed to us, The personal
has been proven in the management of many COM
modities by warehousing.
By cooperation, the representatives of the in
dustry in New Mexico could be in every market
studying the outlet and the difficulties, at first
hand. Now they are compelled to rely upon brok-
erage houses in whom they have more or less con-
fidence but whose interests are diametricaly OPP
posed to those of the producer.
AS individuals these producers are powerless to
bring political pressure to bear to get relief nor are
they at all agreed, as whole, upon what that re-
lief should be. The two hundred may agree but
what of the thirteen hundred whom they do not
represent? And what of the bankers?
The rest of the people of the state wish to help
| in any way that they can. But we want to know
| lust how we can help and we want to know that
our help is wanted. We also wish to know that all
the best economic brains of the state are agreed up
| m he solution No mistakes should be MADE.
DO the bankers who financing the sheep
men agree that an embargo foreign imports is
desirable? If So they should say so in concert and
! in no uncertain terms There are economic kick
hacks to an embargo Has the vision been broad
enough to have considered them? We hope so but
| the matter is of such importance that we should
have more of our big men studying and expressing
themselves upon this question.
1t is suspected that the manufacturers of wooden
goods are loading up Australian and South Am
erican wool in anticipation Of protective tariff
and leaving us without a market. Many believe that
the shut down of wooden mills is for the purpose OF
breaking the raw wool market Is it that or is 1t tc
break the unions or to artfically control the law
of supply and demand in manufactured goods
Who has the actual facts? Let him give them tC
the public.
We assert that all wool growers and all bank
ers holding wool paper should be in close associa
ton and their very best should be working
ont these problems Wrestling with it as individuals
will ge us nowhere. I'm union there is strength.
They must chang together hang separately
economically speaking.
| -Four months and a new wool crop will be upon
| lis and our old crop still 'undigested." We are
frankly concerned. We need more wool growers
and bankers in the leadership to tell us what we
can do to help.

THE SCHOOL BOOK ADOPTION,

On December II the State Board of Education
will open bids on the school book adoption Tor the
state. This adoption is for a period of six years
and every parent in the state will be compelled Tor
that period to buy these books for his child and
the child will be helped hindered in his eduea-
ton by the books adopted In the six year period
the people of the state will pay out more than $780,
. 600 for these books.
This is a situation which possesses possibilities
of graft and dire mistakes Among the bidders are
publishers who have many times been suspected
in other states of resortng to bribery and undue
influence to procure the adoption of their books
regardless of merit
The journal has great confidence in the lnteg-
rity of the state board and fair opinion Of their
competency in deciding upon the relative merits
of the books But there are hidden dangers for
them in this situation.
Men and who would scorn accepting
money bribe very often influenced by TREND
ship to unwittingly make unwise decisions we are
often unconsciously influenced by likes and
dislikes Our high opinion of the professional aoli-
ity of others influences us to rely upon their
Judgment without looking for the influences which
may be behind the adviser.
Knowing this, designing book companies OFTEN
about the system of hiring teachers OF kho"h
professional standing, their agents These agents
offer what appears to be professional ADVICE puC
though the hand be the hand of Esau the voice is
pA'iN"'i'ii'''
will fail to reveal his agency and advise the board
that he is speaking agent and not as a
teacher Even then question the ethics ana
propriety of such arrangement
Worse still, some of these companies employ
ATTORNEYS to procure adoptons for them. The
arts of the paid advocate substituted for the
merit of the book. The Journal is informed that
well known Albuquerque lawyer has been employ
ed by three of these book companies who have
entered into combination to put across an
agreed adoption. Too scathing an arraignment OF
such methods cannot be made. The merit OF the
book and merit alone, should determine its adop-
ton. One syllable of plausible talk from pald
attorney in behalf of work should result IN
its being Immediately dopped from consideration
The fact of his employment is a confession OF the
weakness of the book. The publisher evidently
feels that it can not succeed on its merits
We trust that the State Board of Education viii
see to it that nothing sinister undignified Is al
lowed to happen We hope that down right
study of the merit of the books under considera-
ton will be the sole method permitted to enter into
the discharge of their sacred duty.
To think of the education of thousands OF
children being marred by the use of book select
ed upon the successful intrigue of paid attorney
instead of upon merit is appalling.
Yet this is likely to occur unless the board
prevents it.

NEW MEXICo'S ECONOMIC PROBLEM.

Every thinking man and woman in New Mexico
realizes the extent to which the welfare of the
state is wrapped up in the prosperity OF the sheep
and cattle industry. Beyond doubt no other single
industry in the state is of equal importance to our
people
The Journal is informed that there are in New
Mexico fifteen hundred sheepmen having flocks eX-
ceedng two thousand in number. OF these onB
about two hundred belong to the Sheep and Wooi
Growers Association.
This is a mistake. For years 1t was Impossible
To convince the fruit growers of California of the
absolute necessity of a closely woven association OF
those interests AS result they constantly

MILDRED MAKES A NEW

CHAPTER CLXXIV.
I had been in Reno but couple

affair ! attended | met Mrs. Fair
child. She was not one of Reno's
floating population, she had al
ways lived there. She was, | should
judge, about so years old, and had
one of the sweetest faces | had
ever seen. Not regularly beauti-
full by any means, but sweet and
good, 1t developed that she lived
right next to me and we walked
home together.
She asked me no questions, but
told her about Edith, and that
she, Mandy and myself composed

How old is your little girl?"
she queried.
| Just five"

friendship that was to mean much
to me.

Edith walked over to Mrs. Fair
Child, and made a little courtesy
| then in her frank, childish way
she said;
II like you too"
They at once left me out of the
conversation, so while they were
getting acquainted | rang for tea
and Mrs. Fairchild did not leave
until nearly dinner time.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Dec. AIN a typically
professional week lend market the
grain markets today We're gener-
ally unsettled. They broke early
on lack of support but rallied to
new high prices for the week, only
to sink when traders took profits
or evened up their trades.
Sharp advances in wheat fu-
lures at Winnipeg had much to do
with the strength in that grain.
Canadian bulls sent prices more
than cents higher on their ex-
change and the rise was reflected
here. 1t was helped along by re-
ports of seaboard buying, although
definite figures were absent.
This condition drove shorts to
cover and the bulge was continued
until December wheat touched
$1.731s, the March options top
being 5 cents Under that. Then
came news of increased offerings
in Nebraska and Kansas of the
sales of $4,000 bushels to go TO
store, insuring deliveries to De-
cember longs and of weekly ship
ments of 100000 bushels from
Indiana These factors induced
late selling and brought the close
down to within fractions of yes
terdays finals. December finished
at $1.71 to $1.70& and March s1,67
to s1.66&
Whenever coarse grains showed
decided tendencies toward follow
ing wheat prices. profit taking was
| in evidence, December corn con-
