To be burned to death on ice was the unusual fate of 15 worl1men on the Fon- tapka canal. in the very heart of St Petersburg. The men had been working all night on the sledge track on the canal Tired out at o'clock. they went ,tc, sleep in some lighters which had been placed together on the ice so as to form a shelter for workmen.
 Twenty-nine were sleeping in the lghr- CTS when at o'clock a watchman kicked over a paraffin lamp. The flames spread very quickly. Fourteen of the men inn mediately made for the way out. which was by small ladder, and escaped. The other 15 sought first to save their clothes. They were stified by the smoke, and the fire brigade only recovered their corpses.

It was during a per formance of the ballet "Gsela," the chief male performer, who is great favorite with the public in St. Petersburg, ap- peared in such scanty raiment that he was received at first with a dead silence The audience appear to have been struck dumb with surprise.

MAGNATES OPPOSE ANY
STEEL PRICE REDUCTION.

CLEVELAND, o., jar 5.-The Iron
Trade Review today says: At a meet
ing of leading ron and steel executives
in New York within a few days 1t de-
veloped hat there Is a large element
strongly opposed to any price reduc-
lions, and 1t is by no settled that
any price cuts will be favored at the
general meeting of manufacturers Jan
uary IL. In fact, it can be safely pre-
dicted hat no lowering of quotations
will be recommended, unless trust
worthy evidence can be presented that
such action would stimulate permanent
Improvement. Many leading producers
and their statesmen are opposed to IN
price changes until there are clear indi-
cations that buyers would order freely
at lower priees.A
No meeting OF the Lake Superior ore
interests has been held, nor has the
price question been considered by them
either formally or informally. 1t is
understood, however, that at W meet
ings held in the East by consumers and
produoer-consumers, n a number OF
weeks ago in connection with the
American Iron and Steel Institute and
another within a few days, there was
sentiment in favor OF maintaining last
years prices on ore. The ore men will,
however, receive advice cautiously, for
they have not forgotten their expert
ence In 1908, when they were persuaded
to announce prices prematurely and
were later compelled to reduce their
quotations. This year is expected to
show a sharp reduction in the move
ment of Lake Superior ores as COM
pared with last year, but a recent esti-
mate of 25, 200. 900 tons is generally re-
garded as much too low. Although the
amount of ore on hand at, present is
very large, it is certain that it viii be
greatly reduced by June l, the date at
which furnaces count upon getting mix
lures of new ore.

WOOL GROWERS WOULD
ELIMINATE MIDDLEMEN.
Articles of Incorporation for
Association.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. Samuel
Ballantyne, secretary of the Idaho Wool
Growers Association, speaking before
the National Wool Growers convention
today, made a strong plea for the in
auguration in this country of the auc-
ton sale system of disposing of the
growers output, which. he said. would
break the wool dealers combination
and give the manufacturer an indie
pendent source of purchasing his wool
on a competitive basis.
Mr.. Ballantyne denied as utterly I'M
founded the charge that the National
Wool Warehouse Is a gigantic combine.
Articles of incorporation have been
drawn for the National Wool Growers
Association in accordance with recon-
mendations of President Fred w. Good
ing, and We're presented to the con-
vention when ii met today, President
Gooding and others assert there will be
no light on the tariff question, the dele
gates being almost unanimously of the
opinion that Schedule X" of the
Payne-Aldrich law, provides adequate
protection. To disturb the tariff, they
say would invite calamity in the wool
industry.

GARY ON
TRADE OUTLOOK.
Declares Nothing Is Wrong In
Business Conditions.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5-Although Judge
f. II Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel Corporation. has refused
to say anything regarding the resigna-
ton of w. E. Corey from the presiden-
cy of the corporation he did talk on the
business outlook in the iron and steel
trade.
In contributions TO the annual re-
view at the end of the year 1907 said
Judge Gary, 81 spoke with a decided
note of warning. That was unusual at
that moment. Most of the other proph-
cts gave no warning Of any serious de-
velopment of future danger. What l
said was not positively bearish, but
still it did show that l had in mind
certain unfavorable conditions which
have in fact shown themselves this
year. Now 1t is the anniversary of that
little prophecy of mine. And just now
| do not feel blue in the least.
Neither in looking back or forward
do l see any reason for discouragement.
While / can tell no more than n
other man about the exact nature of
the future. l take the chance of regard
ing things very optimistieally, There
is nothing fundamentally wrong in
business conditions
