purchase stock under the new schedule
of prices. ~
One buyer for a large manufac curing
house says that the wholesale dealers in
copper and manufactured copper goods
decided on a general advance in prices
at this time, because they consider it a
favorable opportunity to make up for the
losses of past years. For a long time
prices haVe been so low that the manu-
facturers and the retailers have not been
able to make any money in copper goods,
and the great scarcity Of copper caused
by the large orders from the government
gave them the opportunity to make a
general advance in prices. The advance
effects everything in hardware in the line
of shelf goods and will be severely felt by
all consumers.
In Paris the increase in the price of cop
per has been called to the attention of
the of deputies. The rise is at
tflbuted to a corner brought about by
powerful syndicates in the United States
and Great Britain.

A GLUT OF ORE.

PhilfpSburg Mail: G. B.. Ballard has
laid off his men at the Cuno mine for a
few days, every possible space that could
be used for storing ore having been filled,
Since the closing down for repairs OF
James Patterns mill, the mine has been
put in excellent snaps, and there is sufi-
cient ore blocked out to keep the mill
running for some time. The ore bins and
every other available space have been
filled with ore and tons in the mine are
ready to be hOiSted. AS soon as the mill
starts up again work at the Cuno will be
resumed. The work of repairing the mill
and placing the additional machinery in
position has been retarded to some extent
by the recent cold weather, n seVera]
weeks will perhaps be required before the
mill will be ready to start.
Another car of ore from the Scratch
awl mine at Tower was shipped las
Tuesday. This promising mine adjolns
the Trout and Salmon, which have yield
ed thousands of dollars in the past, anC
is owned by Mr.. II. Schnepel of this city
The mine is being operated under a lease
by Messrs. AL Gillis, George Tiplady anc
Michael Maher, who are said to be max
ing a fair profit over and above all eX-
penses. 1t is reported that the mine Is
looking exceedingly well at present ano
| that the leasers feel much encouraged
over their prospect.
Wallace LeDernie. who has secufeC
a lease on the Salmon. had also seVera
tons of first-class ore out, which was
shipped in the same car.
Messrs. Smith and Kent have shlppeo
another carload of high grade ore IRON
the Lookout property on ROSS FORK
P. A. Shilling has been engaged in haul
ing the ore to the railroad station II
this city and finished loading the cal
today. The ore is being shipped TO the
East Helena smelters and will no doub,
NET the owners a very handsome return
Several men are now employed at the
mine and it is the intention of Messrs

The year begins With the kind OF bust

he's been rising demand for materials
hut now the crowdng demand for finished
products begins to advance prices. Tho
demand for iron and steel has never been
greater at the beginning OF the year than

Tho wool market is gradually yielding
because people appreciate the magnitude OF
stocks on hand. which the Boston CONNER
cial Bulletin reports al aaiooo,ooo pounds
an increase on its account OF ll4,o0o,0oo
pounds for the year. obviously this means
q great movement from the farms 10 mill

are not low enough to encourage buying or
consumption by the manufactures.
Cotton goois are in fair demand with
cotton at 5.SIc and while nobody can guar
antee that the price VIII not go lower, i, Is
believed BY competent observers that the
market for goods is 30 far relieved of
accumulated surplus that prices arc not
likely TO decline materially. even II cotton
falls.
