CHAPTER XVIII.
The Bargain. J
Stack fast in the mud as he was,
Jimmy Rabbit couldn't do a thins
except shout Or you might say
there were only two things he
could do shouting being one of
them, and keeping still being the
other. r i ,
- At first. Jimmy couldn't help call
ing out at the top oi his lungs. But
Your left hifid-footT Peter
Mink told him
I'eter ilinl;, you remember, didn't
apjiear to bear ( him.. And there
seemed to be ftoortt; else near. After
a time Jimmy Rabbit grew so hoarse
inai' ?c sioppea snouting lor neip
and tried to Xhink of some way in
ii occurrea 10 nun wiu u nc
could only manage to get Jiis left
hind foot free of the mud (that was
his lucky foot, you know) perhaps
he would be able to crawl out, soitie
1iow. ' With his lucky foot buried
deep 5n the mud. nd quite out of
sight, Jimmy thought it -vas not at
all strange that he had not been
able to free himself.
So lie tried to raise his left hind
foot.. At first the mud actually
seemea to suck it oeeper, as ne irieo.
But after a loug'time Jimmy suc
ceeded in lifting that foot the least
bit. Arid he was pleased until he
discovered that his other hind --foot
naa only sunk tiirtner into tne mire.
,At last he happened to look up.
And there on the bank, (razing down
at him, stood Petef Mink!
'mri - . .. j ,i -V
II imi ait vu uuiiii; uvnu invii..
Peter Mink called. "Why didn't you
follow me, aa I told you to?" "
"I fell into this mud," Jimmy
Rabbit told him. "And. I called and
called to you. Couldn't you hear)
me. ;
. The wind was blowing," said
Peter and anyone can see that that
' vrrs no answer at all. -
"Well, if you'd looked around, you
could have seen what happened to
m." Jimmy Rabbit complained.
"The i2-in was shining in my eyes,"
"ctcr Mink told him and I
-l-onMn't say that this answer of
IVtr's was any better than the first
1 "Well you can help me out of
tips bo j. anyhow." Jimmy Rabbit
s4id. So please give me your hand.
I'm pretty tired of being stuck here."
Rut Peter Mink never stirred.
"Where's your lucky left Hind foot?"
he asked. "I should think that could
heto you out, if anything Could."
"The trouble is," said Jimmy Rab
bit, "my left hind foot is so deep in'
this mire that I can't pull it up
where it can do me any good at all.
It's, the first time I've evet known it
to fail mftk And you can't really
blame the foot, either, for it hasn't
a chance. I don't suppose ft even
knows what a fix I'm in."
t Still Peter Mink made no move.
"What are you waiting for?"
- Jimmy inquired. "I've been here
lonsr enough." '
"Maybe you ' have for you," said
Pter Mink. "But you haven't been
thftre long enough to suit me.1' And
he pretended to- start to go away.
Jimmy Rabbit called to him.
"I'll give you something, if you'll
helo me," he said.
Peter turned around.
"There's just one thing you can
give me." he said, "that will make
me willing to pull you out of the
mud."
4 "What's' that?" Jimmy asked him.
"Your left hind foot!" Peter Mink
told him. ."I need a lucky foot. I'm
always gettinglnto trouble of some
sort and -a rabbit's left hind'foot
would be a gerat help to me unless
I happened to get stuck in the mud,"
he added with a sly smile. Jimmy
Raftbit knew then that' Peter Mink
had meant all the time to lead him
into that mud. He knew that Peter
had meant all the time to get his left
hind foot away from him. But he
didn't let Peter Mink know that he
knew. .
"You can have my left hiird foot,"
Jimmy Rabbit said, "on two condi
tions. You must always carry it in
your pocket, and you have to agree
to take along with the foot all the
luck and everything else that goes
with it"- : , A
Peter Mink ouicklv a arced to
that. . r
And Jimmy Rabbit said it was a
bargain, and that something awful
always happened to pedple that
didn't stand by their barganis.
Well, after that Peter jumped
I down and pulled Jimmy Rabbit out
of the mud. ,
"Now,' said Peter Mink, as soon
as they had climbed up the bank
again, "the next thing to do is to
cut off your left hind foot." And he
was much surprised when Jimmy
Rabbit began to laugh. "I don't see
anything funny about .it," Peter
Mink growled. J
"Of course you don't," said Jimmy.
"I didn't expect you to. And I don't
ejepect you're going to cut my foot
off. because you agreed not to."
Tnevefclid anything of the kind!"
Peter Mink shouted.
p "WeH,-wt' go and ask Mr. Crow
what he thinks about it" Jimmy
RabbitsaidA "We'll leave it to him."

New York, Jan. 20. The program
of another speculation for the raise
in stocks appered to be aban
doned somewhat hastily.. For ' a
time the bidding up process of the
day before continued and .advances
of 1 to 3 points occurred in the in
dustrial shares, but-a general selling
movement followed in the latter
hours, possibly originating with the
speculative buyers of Wednesday,
and in the end most of the early
advances, disappeared, with a few net
losses substituted.
The day's net changes were ir
regular and there were some con
siderable advances for the day, but
they occurred mostly with inactive
stocks whose price can be moved
through comparatively light transac
tions. Whether the stock market ex
periment" was, of was not, affected
by the recurrence of -a 7 per cent
call moneyrate when the day's prices
were at their highest the incident
wad of no great importance. The
stock market is not the present cen
ter of interest.

New Tork. J: 20. There were fur
ther reactions in .the cotton market dur
ing today's early trading. Reports from
the domestic goods trade remained en
couraging. After opening steady at a
decline of to 16 points, active months
sold about 14 to IS points net lower, with
March touching 15.28c, compared with
l.0c, the high point of a week ago.
January notices were estimated at 2.600
hales, but had little apparent influence
on early market. Private returns point
to a ginning of about 12.090,000 bales to
January 1. and a total crop of between
13.000,999 andl3,200.000.i excluding llnters.
On continued Wall street selling, the
market went 2 to 25 "points ner-. lower.
Prices firmed up at midday on covering
to about last night's closing quotations.

Cash wheat prices ranged about
2c to 4c lower. There was a fair de
mand in evidence at the decline, but
some sellers were slow to trade at
i he going figures. Corn ranged gen
erally unchanged to JC off, the bulk
unchanged. Oats brought yester
day's prices. Rye and barley were
weak. Wheat and oats receipts
were light and corn substantial.
There was no important foreign
demand for wheat in evidence today,
said ayNew York wire. Some corn
was reported sold for export. Ex
port sales of wheat yesterday to
taled around 2.000,000 bushels. Mill
ers' took around 425,000 bushels,
rrtos,ly in Minneapolis and Kansas
City. Broomhall's Argentine agent
cabled that nothing definite has been
given out regarding the proposed
super-tax on wheat exports from
that country. ,

CHARLES T) MICHAELS.
ChleaM Tribune-Omaha Dm Leased Wire.
Chicago, Jan. 20. Bulges in grains
brought out libera! - selling and
checked buying, making them of
short duration. There was poor sup
port part of the day, while selling
pressure increased and the impres
sion prevailed that the leading longs
were getting out through commis
sion houses. News was scarce and
cut little figure. At the finish sales
were at nearly the inside prices, with
net losses of 34 to 4c on wheat, He
on corn and cats, lf to l?4c on rye
Shd iic off on barley. The feeling
at the last was distrustful
May wheat was under the most
pressure and led the decline, break
ing at $1,60, or AV2c under the close
of the previous day and closing
within J to 'Ac of the lowest. There
was a lot of selling attributed to
eastern as well as local interests and
the buying was mainly by commis
sion houses who were taking profits
on previous sales. v At times local
operators pressed the selling side
with yigor7 believing that the lead
ing longs were quietly getting out.
Receipts, 15 cars.
Cora Slightly Off,
Corn had its support from a' local opera
tor who was short and absorbed the bulk
sf the local selling and hedging. Prices
at their lowest weredown to 8c, off
e over the inside of the previous days
low, while the top was 61 c, with the
close 68 to 46 c, showing the narrow
ness of the range. On the bulge, part of
the corn bought on the break came out.
Exporters took 390,009 bushels here and
a larger quantity at outside markets.
Country offerings wwre lighter and ar
rivals here 616 cars. It was claimed that
American eorn in Liverpool is 13c cheaper
than Argentine, based on Wednesdays
close. Cash price were e lower and
poor corn sold at Increased discounts.
Domestic sales were 70.090 bushels.
Oata sold a shade lower than hereto
fore, with mors ilouidation and support
mainly from shorts. Cash prices lost c.
with sales for shipment. 60,000 bushels.
Arrivals were S3 cars.
Exporters bought rye at outside points
and removed hedges hers. Selling pres
sure was ample and prices declined. Ar-
Export blda were here for barley with
a fair business on and arrivals of 42 cars,
i Pit Note.
Traders- await tha decision on the
Argentine export tax which keeps foreign
ers from buying there. 'Argentina has
shipped only 144.000 bnshels so far thio
season, against 15,650.000 bushels last
year. Rains are freearted there and
more rain was reported in Australia.
While export demand for wheat wa
dull early, the break In futures resulted
in sales of 800,009 buehals hard winter
via the gulf, mainly to Holland, with
some to Italy and Switaerland. Premiums
at the gulf were firmer. Snlesof corn

88c track New York, for 48-pound gram
and there was a further demand at tha
"Domestic shipping sales of cash grain
were 21,900 buehels wheat. 78,009 bushels
corn and 60.9OO bushels oatt
on January contracts were 10,090 bushela

What Do
J
About Prices?
My recent editorial about prices, stirred up
considerable comment, both favorable and ad
verse. , 1
It would be interesting to know what people,
generally, think about the price situation. If every
one who has an idea on the subject will write me a
brief letter 1 shall be glad to publish a summary of
the letters as soon as the data can be tabulated.
, The names of the writers will not be revealed.
Perhaps a digest of the public's opinion on
prices would be very beneficial in hastening re
adjustment The value of such a digest however,
would depend upon the number of people who
submitted information. Expressions from a
thousand or more people in Omaha and vicinity
should be quite conclusive. 4 -
t If you think that prices are right, say so in
your letter, and give the basis for your opinion. If
.you think that prices are wrong, tell why-you feel
that way. If you are doubtful and suspicious, tell
what has caused that state of mind. 7
- . - . ,
I personally believe that the only thing which
is holding up business is lack of confidence. If the
causes for this lack of confidence can be located,
that trouble might be quickly remedied.
Lets co-operatwand see if we cannot clear
up the atmosphere as far as prices are concerned.
Dont hold back any information which you have
on the subject Give the facts that have come
under your personal observation. An inter
change of ideas ought to do a great deal of good.
All of us want to see the greatest possible de
gree of prosperity at the earliest moment With
confidence restored, there is no reason why busi
.hess should nqt flourish during 1921.
Are you going to help the cause along? That's
fine. Thank you! '
Just take a few minutes and write what is on
your mind regarding prices. This is a chance to
express yourself in a way that will count,
Address your letter to
