Willie keller WILL GO
TO GIANTS OR TORONTO.

New York March 4.-Willie Keller
has not vet decided whether he will go
with the Giants or to Toronto. Both
are after him, and he is being deluged
with kilograms and letters. One col
lege has offered Wee William" a big
sum to coach the ball team, and the
Elmira Club of the New York State
League has made him a good offer.
Keller admits, however, that first it is
the Giants, and if not with McGraW,
then with Joe Kelley of Toronto, VINO
is good friend of his Jack Dunn or
the Baltimore Orioles has also made
him an offer.
Keller did little baseball talking
Thursday. Il think" he said, the
best ball players have been corralled
from California. Take Chase and
Krause and others. / think Chase is
one of the greatest ball players / have
met in my 90 years in the game. He
is not alone a grand custodian Of the
first sack, but one of the SmarteSt
players on the field today. He will
have another good player to the right
of him in Earl Gardner. Chase would
make a good manager of baseball
club, despite the fact that some think
he doesn't take the game seriously.
That's where he fools you and think
he would make a good leader of men
on q ball club"

Walkers Copper Letter.

Walkers Copper Letter in Saturdays
Boston Commercial will say: Copper is
stronger. Lake is 1873 to IA cents anC
electrolytic is 1872 to 1875 cents per pound
A week ago the leading selling agencies
reduced their asking price for electroly-
tic from 1874 to 1872 cents. After making
large sales at the lower prices they with
drew from the market and probably will
cents. For the first time in many months
the foreign visible supply, showed a de-
crease during the last half of February
of CAT tons. This furnishes positive
proof that European consumption is rap
idly increasing and that the heavy eX-
ports of the past few months have been
fully justified by legitimate trade condi-
lions.
1t shall be reported recently that the
agreement between the largest producers
in this country to reduce production tenn
porarily is not being lived up to. this be
| ing shown by the large output reported
for the month of January. 1t must be
remembered that the figures of the Cop
per Producers association do not repre-
sent the current output of the mines but
of the refineries. American production,
as shown in their report for January, re-
| presented the output of Michigan smelt-
ers during January, and of those smelt-
ers located else where. the product of
which has to be treated electrolytically,
as long ago as October or November. |
| have reason to believe that February.
| March and April production, as shown in
the Producers association figures will be
considerably smaller than for the preced-
| ing three months. The decline in the
output of Utah Copper and Nevada Con-
| soldated in December will probably not
show in the Producers association fig
| ures before April 10.
The recent Improvement in the statisti-
cal position of the metal gives basis for
| the belief that copper will sell above IA
cents by the middle of next month.
