THE STRENGTH IN WOOL.


The new year thus lar has Ger
tainly show a firm tendency for al
kiuds of wool, somewhat contrar,
to the expectations of those wh'
were inclined to look for som
easing off after the holidays b.
reason of the unusually large
quantities of wool to be offered Ii
Australian primary markets afte
the turn of the year. From every
where come rsports of strons
markets. At the London auctions
prices have hardended since the
opening day, both merinos and
crosebreds showing strength, and
the competition being very keen
q strong situation ia reported in
South America, Notwithstanding
the reduced purchases made il
that section Of the United States,
the bulk of the desirable woods
being quickly taken for European
account
1t is certainly a notable situa-
ton, in view OF the marked in
crease In the wool product of Aus
traiia and the comparatively high
prices now ruling for wool in all
markets of the world. The pro-
duction of colonial wool in 1906
was 2,071,0O0 bales, but the pro-
duction for 1907 will probably at
tain nenrly 100000 bales, ex.
ceeding the highest previous record
in 1895, and being about half as
much again as the smallest quaint
ity registered as the result of the
drought. The production in the
Argentine in 1906 was 491, 900
bales, as against 4SS,OOO bales in
1905, and it is now expected that
the production of this country will
remain stationary, although one
wool authority looks for a small
decrease this year in the River
Plate clip; but, allowing for this,
there would be net increase of
something like the equivalent of
about 10000 colonial bales in
these two largest wool producing
countries. In this connection, it
Is interesting to note how the
average value per bale has risen in
the past three years in the face of
q rapidly increasing product of
colonial woods, without any marked
diminution in the production of
other wool growing countries:
Colonial clip Average
bales val per bale.
1904 ...........1,572,OOO e144
1905. 5............1,s42, 900 15A
1906. ...........2,07l, 900 II
In considering the prospects for
III 'iaos 10 the face Of these figures,
it beirg IN meripos in which the
increase in production has largely
occurred, we realize that prices
are now on a high level, the aver
age value per bale being greater in
1906 than during any year since
1882, when it was G171, and the
value per bale being now higher
than it was in 1906. But we have
also entered upon a year when old
stocks have been pretty we'll clear
of, when machinery is very fully
employed, both in England aud on
the continent, and when the needs
of consumers viii be large, one
evidence Of which is found in the
verv liberal purchases made iu
Australian primary markets for
manufacturers account The sit,

| idea came to him that if the farmer
would sell him the timber rights he
could fell the hard wood and cut it up
into frewood to sell to the neighboring
villages. The boy went home after a
tape measure, paper and pencil, and
then back to the woods Undertook
ing" Going about the woods, select
ing small areas, counting the hard
woods and measuring them, he got an
idea of the density of the forest. He
sat down on stump, and by dint of
figuring he made a rough estimate of
the number of cords of firewood an
acre would yield. Then he went to
the owner to make a bargain. He
made an offer for all the timber,
agreeing to pay for it as money came
in from his sales of firewood.

the farmer, "but you can have my

Gates as a Woodcutter.
All through the winter the lad was
out in the wood lot before daybreak,
working with woodchopper he hired
to help him. The great trees were
felled, sawed into short lengths, and
split into firewood. Young Gates de-
livered two loads of wood a day by
sled to the neighboring villages. Be-
fore the snow was off the ground the
woods had been cleared, the owner
had been paid in full, and the boy had
81 900 in the bank. He took this
money and opened a hardware shop
at the neighboring railway junction.
He sold the farmers their implements
and machinery. One commodity that
had large sale was the newly in
vented barbed wire. The little hard
ware shop at the junction prospered,
but Gates wanted to do something big
ger. He saw that there was money
in barbed wire, and so he sold out his
business and went to see the man, in
an Illinois town, from whom he had
been buying his wire.
This was Col. Isaac Elwood, a pion-
eer in the business. He was not look
ing for partners, but he gave the
bright young country shopkeeper a
job as travelling man for the con-
Germ. Gates travelled back and forth
through the wheat belt selling barbed
wire, and made a reputation as one of
the best "drummers" on the road.
But he wasn't content with his drum
mer's" commissions. He wanted to
divide the manufacturing profits with
Col. Ellwood. The manufacturer
couldn't see it that way, and so Gates
put up barbed wire mill of his own.
His knowledge of the trade was an

and formed a barbed wire trust. This
was the nucleus of the $4,000, 900
American Steel & Wire company, now
a part of the Steel corporation. The
first big flotation engineered by Gates
was the Federal Steel, 100000, 900
corporation. That was in September,
1898, at the beginning of the great
steel boom following the Spanish
American war. He followed that with
the American Steel & Wire, with $780,
100000 capital, four months later. The
manner in which Gates and Ellwood
brought out this company is character
istic of the man. On telephone call
from Pittsburg they jumped across
Pennsylvania and bought wire mill
at Sharon; then they went to Cleve-
land and bought a $5,000,000 rolling
mill, and the next day they were back

JOHN W. GATES in
MANY WAYS TRUE
TYPE OF AMERICAN
Few of the Striking Episodes in the Life of the Great
Plunger Who Has Raked In Some of the Biggest Jack
pots Known to the World of High Finance-Has Had
Many Years of Unvarying Success.

New York.-Joha W. Gates, the
most picturesque plunger who ever
rose to fame and fortune in Wall
street, has leased great hunting pre-
serve in France, and is winding up the
business of his House of Twelve
Partners" He is through with Wall
street, writes Frank Fayrant in the
Times. When a market operator of
his prominence quits the speculative
game Immediately after disastrous
panic in the market it is but natural
for the gcssips of the street to say:
They've got him at last" Ever since
Gates began swinging big lines of
stock in bull markets and running
afoul of men of great power in Wall
street the denizens of the street have
shook their heads wisely and said:
They'll get him some day" During
the panicky days of March, when the
rumor mongers were telling of the
huge losses piling up against wealthy
operators, they were sure that the
House of Twelve Partners" was in
deep water. And now that the famous
house, that in big markets has carried
at times $125,000,000 worth of stock
on margin, is going out of business,
the rumor mongers are saying: Il
told you so"
But John w. only smiles and says:
81 wish they were all as comfortably
fixed as l am" His friends say that
he began trimming his sails last win
ter, when stocks were selling at sky
prices, and that when the storm broke
in March he had all his reefs in.
stocks during the panicky days of
March, and that banks were carrying
millions of dollars of free cash for
him when some very wealthy men
were lying awake nights wondering
how they would make their bank bal
ances good the next day. His friends
think that he is worth at least $25 ,000,-
600, and perhaps good deal more.
So John w. isn't exactly broke.
Barbed Wire the Beginning.
1t was in barbed wire that Gates be-
gan to build his fortune. Gates was
a poor farmers boy out west. His
first business venture was contracting
20 husk a neighbours corn. From the
money he saved out of this work he
made his first speculation. He bought
a third interest in threshing ma
chine that came rafting across the
prairie after the harvest. The old
farmers shook their heads at this, for
it was a tradition that the threshing
machine man usually came to finan-
er crops, and threshing proved so
profitable that before the winter came

Interesting Items Gathered in the
Gopher State
The State Fair.

Minneapolis-The heavy work I'M
der contemplation at the Minnesota
State Fair grounds was forwarded at
special meeting of the board of
managers, held at the secretary's
Office, when preliminary plans for
new Poultry building and the Dairy
building were examined and the sew
erage system was outlined.
Mr.. Alban of Thori, Alban & Fish
er, the architects of the two new
buildings, explained the preliminary
plans and discussed details with the
board members. AS result of the
conference the plans will be altered
in some respects and specifications
will be drawn at once. In general
way the Dairy Building will be about
ITO by 100 feet in size and the Poultry
Building 100 by 1870. Both will be of
brick and of simple though attractive
design.
A. R. Starkey, engineer in charge
of the ST. Paul sewers, appeared be-
fore the board and explained plans
for the sewerage of the grounds. He
recommended project for pumping
the fair grounds sewage through a
special pipe line to the sewer at Prior
avenue and will prepare detailed plans
for this work as well as for system
for the grounds proper. The depart
ment will do this for the fair grounds
at the bare cost of the draughtmen's
work. 1t is probable that specifica-
tions will be ready for the sewer
work in ten days.
AS the building plans will be ready
about the same time several large
contracts will be let shortly and the
grounds will be very busy with nu-
merous gangs of men at work by June
1st.
After disposing of the office bust
ness the board inspected the work in

in New York to close a deal for the
purchase of another mill.
The Steel Merger.
They picked up everything in sight,
hurried to Chicago, and, within a
week after the opening of their cam
paign, they had the whole company
organized. This is the way that Gates
likes to do things. Gates and all his
followers cleaned up fortunes in this
flotation. The public appetite was
keen for industrial stocks, especially
for steel stocks, and the conversion of
millions of dollars worth of newly
manufactured stock certificates into
the coin of the realm was accom-
plished in a short time. Two years
later the big trust was formed in the
steel trade. and the Gates companies
were turned into the merger. Gates
wanted to go on the steel board,
but the chief promoter, Mr.. Morgan,
wouldn't have it. The banker said he
didn't think that Gates was safe man
to have in a great corporation direc-
torate.
Mr.. Morgan's GOODNESS toward him
didn't seem to worry him at all. Not
many months later Gates began to
plunge heavily in Louisville & Nash
vile. He told his friends that it was
a great property and that it ought to
go higher. He and his following in
New York and Chicago, which by that
time had grown to large proportions
because of the money he had made for
them in his steel stocks, put the stock
from around par to above $3.50. The
street woke up one morning to dis
cover that Gates had "cornered" Lou
isville. The Northern Pacific corner
panic was still fresh in the mind of
Wall street and there was a momen-
tary scare. But Gates said he didn't
want to hurt anybody. The road
looked good to him and he had bought
some of the stock. In fact, he had
bought the control. Gates didn't have
any special use for railroad with
$500 miles of track, and he looked
around for a purchaser. He went to
Mr.. Morgan's office one morning, and
said: Morgan, own the control Of
the Louisville If you want it or have
a buyer for it, you Can take it off my
hands," Mr.. Morgan found a buyer
and Gates cleaned up fortune.
Gates is born gambler. When he
was a country shopkeeper out in Illi-
nois he spent many a night in box
car" on the siding, playing the great
American game" by the light of a
trainman's lantern. "Great financier,
that man Gates" exclaimed a railway
fireman one day, as he saw by the
newspaper headline that Gates had
made big coup in Wall street. 1--WE
knew that before Wall street ever
heard of him, when he raked in the
jackpots out at Turner Junction" was
the engineers reply. Gates believes
that gambling is what makes the
world go. Life is gamble" said he
the other day. Everything is a
gamble. When the farmer plants his
corn he is gambling. He bets that the
weather conditions will enable him to
raise a good crop. Sometimes he
