A REVOLUTION OF CANDLES

The creation of the parafin in
dustry is thus strikingly set forth
by Oildom (Bayonne, N. J.O.
Twenty five years ago a tank Of
parafin burned in Cleveland, Ohio,
and the officials there sighed with
relief. 1t was out of the way and
they did not know what to do with
it. One of the employees of the
Cleveland refinery wondered il par
afin would not do to make candles
with. He tried it and the candles
burned nicely. He suggested to
the Standard Oil Company that a
factory might be started to make
these candles. Today s. o. is max
ing 800, 900 900 parafin candles q
year. Those who have seer tallow
dips burning know what the differ

THE WOOL MARKET

According to the Salt Lake Her

Utah were advised in a telegram
Veceived hy C!B. Stewart, sacrc-
tary of the Utah Wonlgrowers as
soristion Tuesday, against con-
tracting fer their output this yer
at the prices now being offered. Ac-
cording to the telegram wool has
now reached its lowest price not
withstanding that the demand is
better than for months past. Fol-
lowing is the telegram:
Boston, Jan. 81 Reported here
there is considerable huying in
your State. Woolgrowers should
understand that markets have
reached the bottom. Any change
will De for the better. London
market closed strong with FIVE to
ten cents higher CT all gond eli %.
Boston markets better than for
months. Stocks on hand small and
demand good.

1t announced here Tuesday that

ard are offering Id cen S a pound
for the spring clip. 1t also has been
learned that BUYERS have offered as
high as l41 cents a pound for the
spring clip, but SO far no one has
been found who has accepted the
offer.
In speaking of the reported at
tempt Of eastern buyers to take
advantage Of the present low price
of wool and corral the output gin
Utah the report says: Possession
Of plenty of free capital and the
low points toward which domestic
wool stocks are rapidly dropping
have caused some dealers to look
about for opportunities for invest
ments. Tentative efforts already
are being made to contract for

"Offers are being made at one to
two cents below the figures actually
