Copper on the Decline,

The bull contingent in Amalgamated Copper is impatient for the long ad- yertised advance to 1S0 to begin and go right along to the announced goal. They do not understand why the big interests in the company do not jump the price right up and quit monkeying with the market For some unexplained reason these same big interests fail to take the public into its confidence and the mys- tery continues deep as ever.
 During the past six months there has been very wide distribution of Amal- gamated, more of it being held in com mission houses than any other stock unless 1t be the steel issues. This stock could come from only one source-the inside. Consequently the insiders cannot have as much of the stuff as they did when prices were lower down the scale Whether they have still more to hand out or will be willing to mark up the goods for the general investor is an open question. The gentlemen who control the destinies of the big copper company are not noted for habits of broad market benevolence.
 There is another point speculators in Amalgamated might give thought to. About SO0,000.000 worth of the red metal has been taken from the mines of the corporation and the records of last year show a slight falling off in production. It is barely possible that the limit of production of that wonderful group of mines has been reached and that the bot tom of the pocket is in sight. Good judges say that the world will have to look for the bulk of the future supplies of copper from Butte to the newer mines of which many are being opened. some of them being as full of promise as the Amalga- mated It is certain that the $500 GOO. .O00 worth of copper already taken out will not be taken out a second time.
 The annual meeting of the Erie stock holders took place without any open move by the Hartman interests to assume a more active part in the direction of the property As stated in this column some weeks ago the Hartman group could if disposed, take the road, but evidently the time Is not considered ripe for such ac- tion. Interests identified other western roads besides Union Pacific hold large blocks of Erie and it probably best con serves the peace of the transportation world to maintain the only independent trunk line as neutral system for the time being.

certain-lndiana Operator Suggests
Arbitration.
Indianapolis, March 2S.-The joint
scale committee Of the bituminous
coal operators of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and western Pennsylvania re-
ported disagreement to the joint con-
ference CT the central competitive dis
trict, and after session of three
hours the conference adjourned until
morning.
The discussions and arguments pre-
sented during the afternoon by the
representatives of the miners and op-
orators showed no change whatever in
the situation, and indicated that the
opposing sides are no nearer wage
agreement than they were in January,
when the first conference was held.
The present wage scale will expire
Saturday and unless an agreement is
reached before its expiration, 225, 900
miners in the four states will be
called from the mines.
President Mitchell of the miners
opened the discussion in the joint con-
ference, after there had been silence
OF ten minutes, during which each
side was waiting for the other to
make the first move. In q brief speech
he said it had been his expectation
that some proposition looking to an
adjustment of the differences
would be submitted by the operators,
but 1t was evident they had not been
able to agree among themselves. Mr..
Mitchell then offered for the consid-
Grafton of the convention motion
that as basis of settlement there be
restoration Of the scale Of 1908.
]. H. Winder, chairman Of the oper-
ators, offered as q substitute mo-
ton to adopt the present scale.
Speeches were made for the oper-
ators by ]. C. Kolsem and Phil Penna
Of Indiana, H. L. Taylor of Illinois
and H. l.. Chapman of Indiana, all ex.
pressing the determination of the op-
orators of those states to oppose an
advance In wages. For the miners,
President Mitchell, Vice President
Lewis and Secretary Wilson, together
with H. c. Perry Of the Illinois min
ers, President Green of the Ohio min.
ers and President O'Connor of the In
diana miners, expressed the deter.
mination OF the miners to insist upon
their demands for the restoration OF
the wage scale of 1903, which is an
increase Of 5.55 per cent. F. L. Rob.

orators. who favors the payment Of

Controlling Nature.

Everybody knows that of late
years natural forces have been Won
derfully subjected to mans need. We
are daZzled by the spectacular active
ments in steam and electricity but
are likely to forget the less noisy but
no less marvellous conquest of animal
and plant life. Horses are swifter,
cattle heavier, cows give more milk
and sheep have finer fleeces than in
days gone by. In plants the trans
formation is even more marked. PEG.
pie now living can remember when
the number of edible fruits and vege-
tables was far less than at present and
even those that could be grown we're
vastly inferior to what we now have.
For example, our parents knew moth
ing of the tomato except as curious
ornament in the garden. Sweet corn
was hardly better than the commonest
field sorts. All oranges had seeds.
Celery was little known and poor in
quality. In the flower bed the magni-
ficent pansy has replaced the insight.
ficant hearts ease. from which it was
developed, and the sweet pea in all its
dainty splendor traces it's origin to the
common garden vegetable.
This progress has been made in
spite Of the great tendency manifest
ed in all plants and animals to &c
back to the original type. It is in
deed battle to keep strains pure ant
ur to the standard they have alread!
attained, let alone any improvement

Catarrh Of the kidneys is very COM

People have kidney disease. They

LAST YEARS

WYOMING IN SECOND PLACE
Idaho is Third-Average Weight Of
Fieeces Throughout the Country
Some Interesting Figures.

Despite all predictions to the con-
trary-and they were made by nearly
every wool buyer and nearly every
sheepman in Montana last summer
the wool clip of Montana for the past
year was greater than that of the
previous year, and Montana is by far
still the greatest wool-producing state
in the Union.
The amount of wool produced in
Montana in the year just ended was
35.496,OOO pounds, against 33,043, 900
pounds in the previous year. The av-
erage weight Of fleeces in the state in
1905 was 6S pounds, against 6..3 lbs.
in 1904, and the number of sheep
showed a decrease of $4,000.
These figures are official. compil

The free purchases of the territorial

been taken quite as freely as they

also, have not sold quite as we'll as
they did in 1904, which fact is reflect
ed in considerable increase in the
amount of wool in bond held for i'm

the crossbred variety, however, have
been good sellers, and have competed
to a considerable extent with domes-
