MARKETS

Boston-The London copper market
today advanced nearly two pounds in
price and closed I'm an excited condi-
ton with large sales of spot copper.
The result was an advance by selling
agencies TO 14l4 cents for electrolytic.
Those pesslmistically inclined towards
this movement should remember that
copper Us a commodity with world
wide market and cannot enjoy such an
advance as has occurred I'm the last
sixty days without having a very good
basis for IT, The very evident fact is
that we ere entering a period OF cop
per share prosperity and that prices
have only begun 20 advance. II copper
goes TO 10 cents an entire readiust
ment OF values becomes necessary.
Many mines which were not even com
mcrcial possibilities FOR past two years
win become lucrative and those
which have made some money will
mako a good deal II certainly looks
as though this price would De reach
cd. Tomorrow's quotations may be ad-
vcrscly affected perhaps by the APP
long holiday but they viii be

New York, Dec. 2O.T-Tbe- wealth of
sporting characters is often greatly eX-
aggerated. For instance, Christy
Mathewson. the Giants pitcher, is rat
ed as being worth 100000. Christy
may be worth that amount. but he
never made il in basebalL He picked
liz up on the outside rather than re-
ceiving it in his pay envelope from the
New York club
Mathewson has been pitching ball
since 1900. and probably his average
salary for the II years he has served
with the Giants has been $4,000, which
means that he received $4,000 in IL
years.
Christy didn't get anyway near $4,000
the first year he Joined the Giants. 1t
is a bit Of unknown diamond history
that Connie Mack signed Mathewson
to an Athletic contract in the spring of
1901 for n salary of $1,000. Later he
jumped back to New York for $4,000.
Big six is worth every penny New
York pays him, but his salary is not
believed to be as much as $4,000 an
nually, as it is claimed. 1t must be
nearer $1,000 than 10000.
Ty Cobb, the greatest player in AM
erica. doesn't receive $4,000 a year. and
there is no reason to believe that Mat
ty is getting more money than the
Georgia star, who is in the game every
day.

There are large stockholding inter

the medium of a stock dividend The
idea Is frowned upon by the Calumet

favoring the plan is that doubling the

remaining represents the districts con-

this with similar amount. and the re-

Furthermore. the tax law is ex-
tremely liberal to the poor. All house
hold and other personal property not
held for sale. UP to a value of $1,000 is
exempted from atfon, and in addi-
ton thereto, the books. pictures, heir
looms and wearing apparel of the fam
fly. OF course this exempts every poor
person from tax assessment It Is
probable that two-thfrds Of the house
holders OF Washington never pay
personal property tax
There is much complaint as to the
present mode of government 1t Is as
serted that the city Is at the mercy Of
the senate and the house. and that ex-
cept as # affects the national govern
ment congress gives but meager at
tention to the welfare of the munich
pality. It is urged that the average
congressman is so intent upon getting
appropriations for his own district that
he bothers but little about the affairs
Of the District Of Columbia. Some
want to change the system by provid-
ing a representative in congress from
the district. Others would revamp the
whole thing.
The affairs Of the district. so far as
congress IS concerned. are controlled
largely by the committees on the Dis
trict of Columbia Of the two houses.
Formerly there was little Judgment dis
played in the selection of the members
Of these two committees. but in later
years there has been tendency toe Sc
lect men who come from large cities.
and who are acquainted with big city
problems This policy has resulted in
a more liberal attitude on the part Of
congress toward the district.
The house IS usually more liberal. in
the management Of the public service
corporations Of the district than the
senate. One Of the things for which
Washington has been fighting for
long time is universal street car
transfer. The board OF commissioners
has favored it repeatedly in its reports.
and the trade bodies have done like
wise. The house has voted for the
transfer, while the senate has
killed the measure. But in the matter
of direct appropriations the senate has
been more liberal than the house.
