st: column total

["Rajiv Mallick" <rmallick@hotmail.com>]

The following code gives me means of the variables.  How can I modify the 
following code to obtain column total of variables Price1 Price2 and Price3?

OR is there a better way of collecting column total of variables and store 
in a .dta file.

If you want to verify, the column totals are 456229.018, 1576.0002, 
221.499982 for Price1 Price2 and Price3.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
Rajiv
