that was settling down upon him and
listened attentively to what Endicott
was saying, responding gracefully,
intelligently, and trying to make him

to say something inappropriate.

Nor need he fear to speak,
To him no other may dictate,
Today there are no weak;

A ORR MOVEMENT.

There has been evidence of a decid-
ed tendency toward lower prices in the
United States during the past few
months, but the movement did not
startsin the United States, nor has it
beenfat all confined to this country.
In arcarefully complied business re-
view it is pointed out hat the first
sign Of a break in war prices came in
Japan, when the price of raw silk be-
gan it's slide from it's highest point,
SIS e pound, to 81, which was
reached about the middle of last
month. At about the same time the
British cotton market showed signs of
a decline, the immediate cause being
the shrinkage in the market value of
silver. which impaired the purchasing
power of China and India, where sill
yer is the common medium OF settle
ment.
The feature Of interest in the situa-
ton, which might be illustrated by
means Of numerous examples, is that
the process of deflation, like that of

opinion Of the most careful observers
that process has been attended in this
country by nothing savoring of disas.
ter, although it has had it's %inconven-
lent features.
The same review, in discussing the
wheat situation, says that western
Europe imported last year GOO. OO0, 0OO
bushels Of wheat, and its home pro,
duction is somewhat higher this year
Bradstreet is quoted to the effect that
the United States will be able to spare
for European consumption ESQ, 600, 0OC
bushels during the current crop year
Argentine and Australia together are
expected to be able to supply 100000.
900 bushels. The Canadian surplus il
estimated all the way from 100, 900,
900 to 200,O0o,o00 bushels, and India
is still to be heard from, with the yer,
remote possibility that Russia ma.
again become a shipper. The corn sit
uation is also an element to be con
sidered. The corn crop this year is un
usually large, and the price Of corr
necessarily affects the price Of wheat
1t is pointed out also that coffee AM
sugar have declined as much as whea
and corn. and cotton cloth as much a
much as raw cotton.
There will doubtless be local an
temporary inequalities in price ad
justments, but it is evident that tn
tendency toward lower prices has bee
universal. At the same time it mus
be remembered that this tendency can
not operate Indefinitely. Sometime tn
bottom must be reached. There is n
reason to believe that the general leve

COOPERATIVE REQUIREMENTS

The Cooperative League of Amer
lea has issued a call for its second ma
tional convention to be he'd in Gin
cinnati, November 1i-14. The cali
has been rent to over three thousand
societies throughout the country.
Each society which complies with the
conditions is entitled to one delegate,
and an additional delegate for each
200 members above the first 200. To
qualify for membership each society
must operate under the following
conditions:
One vote for each member; no
proxy voting.
If capital is paid interest 1t
shall not be more than the cur
rent legal rate.
II there is a surplus-nvink Of
profit it shall be reserved for ex-
pansion or be used for the general
social good, employed for the
common benefit OF members, or :
paid back as cash savings-re-:
turns. or dividends, in proportion
to patronage OF service.
Democratic control Of organi-
cation.
It will be observed from the above
thai in order to be recognized as a
truly cooperative society by the Ma
tional League the society must b.
owned and operated by its own mem
bers, and its affairs must be conduct
ed solely in the interest Of the great
body Of its membership, and NOT di
rectly for the purpose Of accumulat
ing dividends for private stockhold
ers.
