Prices Have Got to Come Down

and we have all got to try to help the people to
get reasonable deal. :...'
1t is but fair to say that when we began the
patriotic movement of twenty per cent deduction
we thought that we might stop it in ten days,
but the people were so gratifed that we could
not shut them off.
In ending this program on Saturday night
we do it with sense of having done great
duty, as it appeared to u.s.
More than this, it must be said, that we
were encouraged by the grateful spirit that
hundreds of thousands of people showed, that
they felt we were with them in the effort to
prove, not only to our city, but to the whole
country, as it appears, take notice, that the new
day has dawned for legitimate business to
organize against the spectators and the spoils
manufacturers, who when goods were scarce
were able to put any prices on them that they
wished.
Be it understood that we shall still keep
store and it shall be better than it ever was if it
is within our power to make it So
We open at 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning
and close at 5.

King George, With His Good Common Sense,

feels for his people and speaks to them the way
the people of America are now feeling, that they
are entitled to new deal, and that they would
rather do without goods than to pay more for
them from this time on.
We are not disposed to be oppressors of
anybody.
The manufacturers have had their day, and
the people must now have their day. Of course,
prices can only be reduced little by little, but we
must assuredly take strong stand against the
raising of prices in any direction.
There may be failure of crops, and for want
of labor smaller crop of potatoes, corn or flax,
or a shortage of certain classes of wool or
leather, but these must be the exceptions and
not the rule.

Market News

NEW YORK, July 12.-The week on the stock exchange began with re- actionary price movements Whlch seemed to measure the less optimistic views of traders in connection with the latest financial and industrial de- velopments.
 Advices dealing with the steel and iron industry were once more discon- certing because of the increased freight congestion and consequent fuel short age. Many special stocks, such as tex tiles feathers and rubbers denoted the unsettled trend in these and kindred lines of business.
 AS a group rails were stronger and more prominent than recently, but buving of that division which occa sionally extended to secondary shares appeared to be little more than a screen for liquidation of less favored issues
 Oils, especially Mexican and Texas stocks, motors, popular steels, equip ments and shippings comprised the weaker issues, losing two to eight points. Pressure was pronounced m the final hour when shorts were most aggressive Sales were 775,Oo0 shares
 The money market was under care full scrutiny as a result of last Frloay 10 per cent rate for call money and the heavy shrinkage of reserves reported by the clearing house. Today's open ing. rate of eight per cent remained unchanged. and tendency towards ease being checked by relatively small of feringS.
 Further gold imports amounting tc B. 150, ,0O0 were reported. with an addi- tional engagement of $1.300,00o 1T transit, but the foreign exchange mar ket recorded no material alteration oi rates to London or any other important quarter.
 Trading in bonds was unusually light and within corresponding narrow limits The trend including Liberty issues was lower. Total sales, par value, were $9,25O,O0o.
