Boston Wool Market.

The past week has been dull and un-
eventfu one in the local wool market, but
at this season of the year such conditions
are expected. The manufacturers are
taking their year-end inventories and
their needs of wool are never urgent nor
large at such times The holidays and
the storm of Sunday also have had a
tendency to restrict purchases Prices
are steady and little changed Dealers
realize the folly of urgent sales at this
season when the manufacturers are in
clined to hold off and the business that
has gone through represents some press
ing need of the buyer, who thus fixed
usually pays what the holder asks.
fairly We'll distributed among the diff
ferent kinds in stock, even though it has
been small individually and in the aggre-
gate. Sales run chiefly in lots of 1900
to $4,000 pounds, with one or two 100000
pound lots Activity still centers in the
clothing woods, but the supply of these
woods is much better than that Of worsted
clips and at present the makers of wool
ems seem to be little buster than the
worsted manufacturers.
The year just ending has been re-
markable one in several respects. The
first six or seven months saw an almost
constant advance in prices in continual
ton of the recovery from the effect of the
financial panic of 1907 that set in late last
year. The strength was remarkable when
it is considered that the tariff was being
altered and revised during the early part
of the year and that there was much
agitation for change in the wool sched-
ues. 1t was evident early, however, that
the wool schedules would not be mate
rally changed and the uncertainty in the
wool trade was not so prOtracted as it
was in other markets likely to be affected
by tariff changes.
The year will be remembered as one
when the seasons for the receiving and
the marketing of the woods were earlier
by several weeks than usual Feeling
satisfied that the tariff on wool would not
be altered much, dealers bought the new
domestic clips much earlier than usual.
The woods reached the seaboard much
earlier in consequence and the big clean
up by the manufacturers came in mid
summer instead of in September and Oc-
toh7r as usual
The new year does not promise such
gratifying results as the one now ending
The new foreign woods are costing much
more than last years. and every sigf
points to a very high level for the new
domestic clips. OF course if the manu-
factnrers can further advance prices fof
cloth to be able to pay more for wdol
there is no reason for anxiety But cloth
prices are pretty generally back to Che
Level that prevailed previous to the 1907
panic, and further advances are not like
ly to be easy. In view of these dondi-
tons it looks as though the dealers would

LOSS $4,000.
Firemen Fight Spectacular Pittsbure
Fire in Zero Weather.

Pittsburg, Dec. 31.-The most spec
tacular fire seen in this city for sever
al years caused loss estimated at
$4,000 to five buildings located in the
heart of the downtown section here
early today.
With the temperature lowering about
zero and the water freezing to their
persons, the firemen fought the blaze
which enveloped one of the buildings
within three minutes of the time it was
discovered. The fire started in the
Union Electric Co., supposedly from
crossed wires, and spread rapidly to
the Footer Dye Works Co., occupying
the two adjoining buildings. 1t is said
that gasoline in these buildings added
to the fierceness of the fire. Other
buildings damaged were the McCand-
less e Gordon Mems Furnishing Co.,
and the J. J. Gillispie art store. Sew
eraI people living in the buildings were
removed by firemen and police, while
the occupants of a bathhouse which
was threatened were forced to leave
the hot rooms and come into the cold.

Walkers Copper Letter.

Walkers Copper Letter in Saturday.
Boston Commercial will say: Copper Is
stronger. Lake is IA cents and Electroly-
tic is l3A cents per pound. Considerable
sales have been made at these prices
within the past few days. The conSump-
tive demand has increased to such a point
that consumers have been forced to come
into the market. and producers are I'M
willing to sell any more metal at the low
prices which have prevailed through the
crater portion of the year The predic-
ton that copper would sell at IA cents be-
fore Jan. l has been verified, and the an
ticipation that it will go to 10 cents
should be realized soon. Consumption is
now increasing more rapidly than produc-
ton. There is likely to be decided
scarcity of copper within three or four
months and the price may go we'll above
Is cents.
The use of water power for the genera
ton of electricity and the electrlllcatioh
of manufacturing plants ana tranSpofta-
ton lines, the extension of electric light
ing in various fields. including for adVef-
Using purposes. and the steadily grow
ing use of the telephone in rural districts
are combining to greatly increase 1tle con-
sumption of copper the world over.
When the work of electrifying the great
trunk lines of railroads between the
principal cities of the northeastern. cen,
trail and southern portions of the United
States and the electrification of the noun
tain divisions of the several transconti-
mental lines gets fairly under way the
price of copper, in my opinion will again
advance to around 20 cents and remain at
approximately that level for two or three
years. I believe that plans for TINS rail-
road electrification are being laid out
now and that they will be adopted within
a year or two and the work well underway
within three years. There is every pros
pect that the average price of copper IN
1910 will be Is cents and there Is reason 10
hone that it will be maintained at approx
imately this price until consumption so
far exceeds production as to cause a fur
