FLATTERING PROSPECTS
OF COPPER METAL TRADE

Walkers copper letter in the Com
mercial says:
Copper is again fiTmer and showing
tendency to advance. Sales OF lake
for immediate shipment have been made
within a few days at 20 cents. For adj
vance delivery. the asking price is
25i1 cents to 25A cents per pound for
lake and electrolytic- The character of
the recent buying proves that consump-
ton still exceeds production. Most of
the buying now Is for June delivery,
but sales for July and August account
are said TO have been made. Advices
from London state that traders there
are heavily short of &c NJ. B." copper.
and that they are being called upon TO
make delivery. AS a result of this the
foreign speculative market is much
stronger
Up to the present time there is no
sign of coming weakness. or other UNI

Of Importance in the country has been
unable TO keep up its volume of pro-
duction through the past three winter
months and the result of this is an
even more urgent demand from consum-
ers of the metal now than at any time
previously. The worlds copper produc-
ton is practically all sold up 20 the mid
die Of June. While IL is impossible 10
forecast with accuracy what will de-
velop toward the end of the year, there
is good basis for the belief that the en-
tire production of 1907 will find a market
at an average price approximating q

ENTHUSIASM LACKING
IN COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK. March 1.-The cotton
market was quiet today and somewhat
on the disappointing Liver
pool markets, and also the rather un-
favorable character Of the weekend sta
tistics with the worlds visible supply

OF the stock prevailing in bank and
Wall Street circles over the position
Of the stock market. After opening 20

Southern operators carried prices down

PROMISING OUTLOOK
FOR SPRING TRADE

Jobbing trade IN dry goods and
millinery for spring distribution, says
Dun's Review. continues the most &C
tive commercial feature. a large attend
ance of country buyers placing liberal
orders at the leading centers, and il is
the exception when transactions are not
equal to those Of a year ago, while
substantial gains are often recorded.
Commercial and manufacturing activity
is not affected by the weakness of Sc
curities. nor is there any explanation
of stock market depression in railway
earnings thus far reported for February
So per cent heavier than year ago
Leading industries have orders cover
ing full production many months in ad-
vance. steel mills falling further behind
with deliveries because OF new business
greater than the daily rate OF output
Scarcity Of cotton goods in primary mar
lSets is responsible for another general
advance in prices, and shipments OF
footwear were greater than in the same
week last year.
The only adverse feature in the out
look is the discussion OF wage scales
that usually appear about this season,
but no extensive struggle Is imminent.
Steadiness is the dominant feature Of
the markets for iron and steel.
Trade has improved all around. says
Rradstreet's. the impetus being fur
nished by the return of more favorable
weather. the presence of country mer-
chants in leading markets and the near
approach of the Easter holidays. House
trade has been more active, and in such
lines as cotton dry goods, dress goods
and woolens high prices do not deter the
pIacing of large orders. Interior mer-
chants report stocks quite low and
money pIentifuI 1t is significant that
business placed i'm most lines and sec
lions during the past two months eS-
ceeds that of year ago-a very active

MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first OF these stages
is womanhood, or the change from
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises
Women should remember that Lydia

prepared mothers. for childbirth. and
in later years carried them safely
