WARNS AGAINST CHRISTMAS
TREE FIRE HAZARDS
Industrial Commission Urges Caution
In Handling COmbustible Trim
mings and Candles.

peace on earth, good will to men. -
viii your Christmas be day of JOY
and happiness, or "A day of mourning?
viii fire or death in your house, shop,
store or church mar the pleasure OF
this and all future Yuletides?
1t is mp to You.
Fathers have died playing Santa
Claus. because candles ignited the
flammable suit or whiskers, children
have met death in the same way
Christmas tree fires which burned
or damaged homes, churches and stor-
es aud their precious contents have
been too common, and sometimes in
large stores, churches and halls, pan
les have increased the sacrifice Of
lives
All this can be prevented.
Let us Danish all paper. cotton or
other cOmbustible trimmings and de-
eorations, and use instead metallic
tinsel, asbestos fibre and powdered
mica, Paper and cloth, treated to rem
der them slow burning, can now be
purchased.
A cluster of small, colored, electric
lights is safer and more effective to
light the Christmas tree than candies,
which children are bound to light and
relight if not watched, often to their
sorrow.

RESUMPTION OF MINING
OPERATIONS LOOKED FOR
1t Is Believed That Many Gosebic
Range Mines VIII Start Producing
First of the Year.


Although no official announce
ment to the effect has been made it
IS believed that many independent
Gogebic range mines now idle and
which have been idle for several
months will resume operations the
/ first of the year. The decision TO
again start producing is said to
have been made at a recent meet
ing of mine managers of the Head
of the Lakes at Duluth.
Heads of independent mining
companies are said to have reached
tentative agreement to reopen
their mines and give employment
to thousands of men who have been
idle for many months, thus reliev-
ing the situation of unemployment
which has become more acute with
the advent of winter Many men
who ordinarily are employed at the
mines were able to find other EN-
ployment during the summer
months, but since the work they
were engaged at was such as can
only be carried on during the sum
mer months the advent of snow
and cold weather brought with it
cessation of most all outside work,
with the result that there has been
an increase in the number of un-
employed. The reopening of the
mines would greatly relieve the
situation, for it is understood that
full time operations will be carried
on.
As was to be expected, there will
be general reduction in wages of
mine employees when operations
are resumed, i'll order that mining
may be carried on as economically
as possible, in keeping with the
iron ore situation as regards the
market. 1t has been limited that
the 1913 wage scale would go into
effect, thus setting the wage scale
of surface employees at 81 10 day
and that of underground workers
i'll proportion.
In connection with the probable
reopening of the mines it is inte-
resting TO note that the operators
realize that with the reductions in
wages which would be necessary
in order that the mines could be
operated at a profit it will be nee
essary that there be a like reduc-
ton in living costs and that mer-
chants will have to cooperate by
cutting prices. This is one of the
concessions that the mining com
panies will expect, it is said, before
operations can be resumed, in order
that employees might benefit by the
lettering of the industrial situa-
ton.
The cost of living on the ranges
is altogether too high, operators
assert. If merchants want any
business at all this winter, they
declare, smaller margins of profit
will have to prevail.
Wholesale prices, it is said, have
gone down much more rapidly than
retail price The discrepancy is
killing business. Operators realize
that high prices are due, in part,
TO the fact that merchants have had
to carry miners on their books for
months. They declare, however,
that no further money for range
payrolls will be forthcoming unless
/ prices come down.

COFFEE MARKET RY Associated Press

New York. September 30,-The market for coffee futures was lower today. An opening decline of 5 to Ii points reflected further scatterins liquidation promoted by the easier ruling of Rio exchange as reflected in the early cables. Later there was some trade selling also, accompanied by reports that Santos shippers had accepted dover bids in the cost and freight market and the price of De- ceniher contracts eased off from 7.95@7.s4c, closing at the lowest, The general market closed at net decline of 12 to 17 points.

REPORTS OF LARGE RECE|PTSFORNEX
 WEEK FEATURED
Wheat Closed Heavy at a De- cline, While Corn and Oats
 Followed In a Down. ward Dip
By Associated Press

Chicago, September 30.--PredictiOns of enlarged receipts in the nor th- west next week had good deal to do with making wheat prices de- cline today The market closed heavy at 1% @2%c net lower. with December s1.201a to S1.20%. and May, s1.25ia to S1.25$ Corn lost ssc to l tsc, and oats, Ac to %e. In pro visions the outcome varied from 15c decline to 10c advance
 It was said that consignment mo- tices of wheat due to arrive at north western terminals were Of greater volume than for any previous time this season. From this circumstances bears drew the inference that spring wheat farmers were showing a dis position to market their surplus with out delay, notwithstanding govern ment finances available to carry the grain if so desired.
 Furthermore, bears contended that from poor foreign demand and from reported offers of resale, 1t would seem the heavy exports of the United States wheat during July and August were acting at present as boom efang on prices. The market scored rally after mid-day on account of covering by shorts, but when demand from this source had been satisfied values weakened again and closed near the bottom level of the season
 Corn and oats, like wheat, were without any aggressive support September delivery of corn fell to the lowest price in IS years.
 Higher quotations on hogs gave some firmness to provisions

Competition Shown In Cotton Trading
 During Past Week
Rv Assoclnted Press

New York, September 30.-EaFly advances in the cotton market re- fiected q competitive demand for cotton to be delivered on october contracts and bullish private crop figures. Above the 21c level for winter months, however increased hedge selling was encountered which suggested a willingness on the part of southern spot holders to supply buyers at above that level of prices, and there were reactions later in the week under realizing for over the approaching government reports.
 Two of these reports will be issued on Monday, one of them showing the amount of cotton ginned prior to September 2b, while the other will give the condition of the crop as of that date and the indicated yield. The 'trade is generally prepared for large ginning figures, which they reconcile with the small crop esti- mates on the ground that picking is more nearly completed than usual, and also seems to be prepared for condition figures of around 40, with a crop indication at around or slight ly above 6f000,000 bales. The 10 pri- vate condition reports published have ranged from 39 to AT, and the crop Indications from 6,100,000 to 6 ,929, 900 bales the average pointing to a condition of 41.2 and yield of 6,405, ,000
 These private reports have sttmu- lated the Liverpool market which has also been influenced by improve ing trade conditions in Lancashire, and one of the features of the week has been the large Liverpool spot sales. Large spot sales have also been reported in the south. and re- ports from the goods trade have indl- = cated that buyers were more wiling to place orders for forward deliV- cries on the basis of higher prices.
 The relative 6rmness of the near months during the greater part or the week was due to the unexpected stopping of notices by Japanese ln- terests The notices represented about S4.400 bales of cotton of which over 54 ,000 bales were stopped Tor Japanese account. Samples of this cotton are now being examined, and 1t is anticipated that part of It would be shipped out probably to Japan, within the next few weeks. There has been some talk of fresh ship ments here from the south for com tract delivery, but the certified stock has shown decrease of 4,5O0 bales during the past week. prominent local authority estimates 43 per cent Of the crop picked to September 25t against 24.6 per cent last year

COTTON RULED IN NERVOUS STATE
 BEFORE REPORT
General List Closed Steady Net Two Points Lower to TWenty-th three Points
 Higher on the Day
By Associated Press

New 1ork, September BOA dispo- sition to even mp accounts in advance of the approaching government re- port, was considered chiefly responsi- ble for the rather nervous and irreg- ular ruling of today's cotton market After selling off to 20.s5c, early De- cember rallied to 20.9So and closed at 2O.sSc, compared with 20.S7c at the close yesterday. The general market closed steady. net points lower to 23 points higher, the more active months being l to 15 points above last nights final quotations.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 15 points to decline of 1 point, near months being relatively firm on better cables than expected and reports of continued active spot demand at Liverpool where sales were reported of 20,000 bales. There was heavy realizing and considerable southern hedge selling around the opening figures, which eased the market off right after the call with October selling at 2050c and January at 2040c, or about IS to 22 points net lower.
 A private report issued by one of the more prominent local authorities placing the condition of the crop at AT and the indicated yield at 6,s29,- 900 bales may have increased the disposition to liquidate long contracts. Another report published by a New Orleans authority. however, placed the condition at only 30, the lowest figures so far isued and pointing to yield of only 6,1o000o bales, helped to steady the market later in the morning. Reports of a broadening demand for goods also contributed to rallies lduring the early afternoon, when offerings became decidedly smaller and an idea prevailed that many contracts liquidated by scat tered longs, had been absorbed by the trade.
 Nearly all months made new highs for the day with January selling up to 20.75c, but as the price approached 21c for December offerings again in creased. The close was 5 to 10 points off from the rest. The vt weather reported in central and steHp belt sections was a sustaining ia r and the lower temperatures in t Pan Handle emphasized the grad,.4l ap- proach of the time when frost may be expected.
