The three companions on that ex

to
pew and original, umlertnkinga of mattni
tuda than Ihey w,re when Mr. flaitler
ventured to redeem Florida and to make
It a connecting- link between the Unll-i
fitatea and Cuba, neverthelera, aom of
them atill herniate.
The early development of trade over
thla Kin icier ayatem, between Cuba and tho
I'nlted Ktatea, equaled, if It did not aur
paaa, Mr. Flapler'a own forecaat of what
waa pnaaihla. If he were now livlns: he
would he gratified to know that this trade
ta rapidly increasing. Ha waa, aa Mr.
Perkins said, a man of vision, who was
fortunate enough to. command peraonal
. capital of many millions.
When ha undertook the building of that
road his engineers, after a atudy of
weather recorita and high wavea. whlr-n
waa carried on for soma yearn, planned
for a road of a certain elpvation above
the higheat wave record. But before the
road waa completed one of the most vio
lent rftorma that ever rami from the
Carlbean aea to the Florida coast In
undated 'much of the en.Ht coat of Florida
and tha wavea rose much higher than a
considerable part uf the Over th Sea
railroad tracks.
Finder plil Not Falter. '
Mr. Flngler did not hesitate for he was
pot appalled by this experience. Although
It waa to Involve nn additional erpendi
ture of many minions, nevertheless, he
ordered the engi'u'1-r.s to reiae the level
of the road to a point where it would
always be anfe to operate the road, no
nm'ter how Ii'trli the wnvca roae.
Unless Mr. Flnglfr rnuld have had com-
' nuind1 of hla cvn great crtiltal he would
have been unable to lntl'ine bankers to
invent anything In the enterprise. His
own investment, on the whole, must have
reached something like $76,000,000, per-
, haps more.
Mr. Edmonrta at one time, asked Mr.
Flagler why he had become so heavily
Intercnted In the development of Florida.
Hla answer, perhaps the first recorded
expression of hla purposes, was that he
felt that he could do more good for
humanity In opening up the Incredlhly rich
territory of the east coast of Florida with
railroads and hotels than In any other
way, because he ,would establish health
and pleasure resorts, but what was more
Important, the opening up to cultivation
of a region In which many thousand farm
era would be abl to make a profitabl liv
ing. '
Today many thousand farmers are mall
in. nmfiinhle living there and Informa
tion comes to New York from Florida
that probably many more thouaeids will
soon establish themselves there. The win
ter migration from the farms of the
north and west to Florida has now be
gun. The fact the progress of Florida Is
. VBntH itn future so well assuretl
as to make It certain that It will be
recognised aa one of the great centers of
pooulatlnn and wealth whereby tne easr
coast of the United States will match
the west coast, which Is California.

the market for coffee futures today. The
' disposition to taka profits on long con

thlrsjg TrlkuaatMliaaka He l-awd H'lra,
.New York, Dec. 17. The highly
ptofrtaional character of the last
uetk't movement on the ttock ex
change wai illustrated by today'
reactionary market.
One of the provisional specu
lator's traditions is that whichever
way he has been operatinj, he must
"even up" at the end of the week.
J he tradition has possibly some
warrant in the possibility jbat good
or bad news may conic to hand on
Sunday, with the stock exchange till
able to adjust itself to the situation,
hut its real basis doubtless is the
frchnir that when prices arc being
moved in no relation to the news,
it is just as well to fix some recur
rent date to wipe the slate clean
gain.
Prices Movement Downward. ;
' Today's movement of price was gen
erally downward, sum Industrial stocks
losing a point or more,' but moat of tit
day's declines being fractional, with
st-attrit advances. Comparison of to
day's final prices with those uf a week
sto show clearly the natura of th pres.
ent activities. Advances of two to four
point have occurred aid by side with
declines which were quel!y larg and
without any assignable reason for either.
on th whole, anyone anxlotia to draw,
conclusions might Infer that th Wash.
Infton conferen' and the Irish settle
ment were having their principal effect
on the petroleum Industry- ami the motor
car trade, of th bond market' changes
for the week Itl s one more posalhl to
say that dexplt th general trend of
lomewhat luwr prices, a very substan
tial nui;r of noteworihy further net ad
vance have been acored.
Foreign Ilonds Higher.
NVsrly all foreign bonds are higher than
a week ago, as are most of the United
Statea war loans, and as might have been
expected after Thursday's municipal bond
sale, outatsndlng New York City bonds
are up all the way from 1 ' to 4 points.
Foreign exchange also ended the week
with "evening up" of prices. Sterling ad-i
vanced about 3 cents to $4. 194s. which Is
nearly 6 cents below the high point of
Monday, but 1 above the low level of
the aul.aeiiuent reaction. If the week Is i
taken as a whole, there will be shown
ftnm tnday'a closing raieato have been
not only a !-cent rise for the period in
sterling, but substantial further advances
In rates tn every other European market.

tPIt Notes,
f three northwest provinces
estimated by' Northwestern Grain Healers'
association of 261.656,000 bushels. Average
yield per acre 14.4 bushels. Oat yield is
placed at 314.000.000 hushels: barley, 42,
000,000 bushels,, and flax, 4,981,000 bush-
el9,'Tho export trade from this continent
is fairly good," said Clement. Curtis &
Co., "but the shipments are largely from
the Canadian ' accumulation. The large
visible In the United States is not falling
off to any great extent: the trade has
been waiting on the revision of this year s
crop and expecting an increase in the esti
mate." Winnipeg wired:
"This business in wheat for export via
Vancouver Is growing all the time. They
ere btddlng 8c over for No. 1 northern for
January shipment basis in store govern
ment elevators at Vancouver."
"We believe a bullish situation is de
veloping rapidly In wheat and loci for
higher prices in the futures market,'Vald
Logan & Bryan.
According to the report of the Canadian
Northwestern Gsln Pealers' association,
146.153.000 bushels wheat has been in
spected to date with 31,000.000 still re
maining aln farm. hands to be marketed.
Frank B, Rice, who has for many years
been the vice president and Kerieral
manager of the Star and Crescent Milling
company, will retire from active business
December 31. He will be succeeded by
his son. Lawrence E. Rice, who has been
connected with the company for several
years. . 1 . , - . '
Predictions were for much -lower tem
peratures all through the grain belt.
Liverpool prices were' steady for spot
wheat and a trifle lower for futures, with
snot corn and futures unchanged. ' Argen
tine markets were a little firmer for.
wheat and easier for corn.
Deliveries- this morning were 252.000
bushels wheat, 127,000 corn, 48,000 oats
and 19.000 rye.
Buying of December corn for .erevator
Interests has been going on for., several
days. This buying. In face of the liberal
receipts, has attracted considerable attenji
tion. .' . '
Some traders believe the' -time Is' nbt
far distant when the oats market will be
gin to show a gradual improvement. --
Greece was reported to . have closed
orders for 1.750,000 bushels of whest and
