THE COPPER MARKET

While the producing interests are always nat urally optimistic regarding.the copper situation, at least in their public utterances-havng cop
 per to sel-it can truthfully be said that not for six months have the largest factors in the pro- ducing industry been as strongly impressed
 with the outlook for higher prices as at the present time.
 At the last meeting of the Copper Producers Association in New York, the figures for the month showing a slight decrease in surplus stocks occasioned general surprise among the members, as it was generally felt that there
 would be small increase shown.
 The largest copper consumers of this coun- try, even including the wire manufacturers, who up to the present time have Jagged behind the general procession, state that they are steadily
 increasing their output of manufactured goods
 and are obliged to order a steadily increasing amount of copper The Roebings, who make wire drawing their exclusive speciality, state that their business has not been better for months
 than at the present time
 London advices state there had been an in- crease of only 1417 tons during, the past fort night in the accumulated surplus on the other
 side of the pater This is equal to but a little over 3,000,000 pounds and is the smallest bi- weekly increase shown in the foreign surplus for many months
 These are ''straws" indicating larger con
 sumption of the red metal the world over. When with these favorable indications is coupled the expressed determination on the part of the
 Amalgamated companies to restrict output the
 outlook for an improving statistical position of copper during the next thirty or sixty days is altogether favorable.
 The Calumet X Hecla has recently sold all
 the copper 1t cares to sell at 1331 cents, having contracted to sell all the copper it can produce this month. It could sell more at l334 cents if lit cared to do SO but at the present time has withdrawn from the market at anything under IA cents per pound.
 The Phelps Dodge people are even more op-
 tmistic apparently than any of the other large producing interests, and to their friends they
 state that they expect to see 15-cent copper by | February l.

BABIES AS CHRISTMAS PRESENTS

The women of the Guild of the Infant Saviour. of New York, have found new way of adver- tsing their wares before the public. They have sent to the various daily papers pictures of the prettiest and sweetest little babies. ranging in age from few days to several years, and of both sexes, and offering them to any deserving persons whose home is without juvenile folk.
 They tell the bachelor that he can have a boy who will be companion and comfort in later years, while to the spinster they offer the cutest girl, all in pink ribbons and with any color eyes or hair that is desired Some of these infants are doorstep babies, while others are from poor families where the mother is dead and there is no one to provide for them.
 Not in the sense that it is an advocate of race suicide, but in practical way, the proposition is made that in those homes where the stork has not visited there may be motherlv heart or a void in some husbands bosom, and they proceed to show how it can be filed In homes where there is a desire for baby, but not the willing ness to care for it, the proposition is made that widow will be sent as servant and her child can be kept by her, and if all is agreeable it can be adopted
 The guild guarantees most of the babies to be well-fed, good -humored youngsters, and if they turn out to be cry babies, you can exchange for better one These tender-hearted women feel sure that if any of their little wafs are ever taken into home, they will soon find a warm place in the hearts of the occupants and will never be surrendered
 Christmas is a good time for making selec tions, and it is no trouble to show goods. The circular sent out is attractive as that of green goods men or the $40 per cent Miller syndicate But whether there is levity in the wording or

A MERRY CHRISTMAS
Ter Christmas Day

Another Christmas Day.
 So surcharged is the Christian world with the fine spirit and the beautiful inner meaning of the day that one feels like crying with Tiny Tim
 "God bless us every one"
 It Is the day beautiful of all the year-the day on which nineteen hundred years ago, the star of worlds hope rose in the sky above Judea to startle the silent shepherds on the hill; the natal day of the divine doctrine of
 "Peace on earth good will toward men,"
 The day of reunion, of closer gathering of the ties of blood and kinship, and when each of us realizes more fully the eternal brotherhood of man.
 Today the world is full of happy faces.
 The eyes of the children are dancing poems of happiness and joy.
 Those in the prime of life hear the peal of church bells ringing out once more the glad tid ings that
 '.UntO us a child is born''-
 And in that message take renewed hope and courage for the future. And the aged and bent, looking back on many happy Christmas Days, back into the past, when with childlike faith and trust, they conjured up vision of the manager at Bethlehem, go the more bravely along the lit tie span of road that lies before them to the end
 God grant that Christmas Day has brought most of us happiness. It has surely done so if we have-not because it was our duty, but be- cause we were moved to it by love-done some thing, in the name of Him whose birth we cele- brate, to make the world happier place
 If we have but given helpful hand to the clothing of the naked, the comforting of the sick. the resting of the weary if there has been a thought of uplifting the fallen of aiding those too weak to help themselves, then, indeed we have come to a realization of what Christmas Day means, and in the warm glow of that love, (which passeth all understandings we shall find life pure and sweet
 It is day for joy but it is day for gratitude, too
 God bless us every one, indeed, upon this day of all days in the year
 It IS day for merriment and joy and compan- ionship, and love, and if we harken intenty enough to the harmonies of the day we may hear whispering through the leaves of the Christmas tree, which has so wonderful significance. that voice which cried:
 'Ims, Tn 'cOmmemoration of the law of love and kindness, mercy and compassion. This, in remembrance of Me-"
