BOSTON WOOL MARKET

While the Boston wool market is
rather more quiet, it continues to gain
in strength, with wool men more con
fident of further advances. Both deal
ers and manufacturers are waiting for
the outcome of the next London wool
Sale. Majority opinion is that the
opening will show modesate strength
and some advance, though there is
some question as to whether The de-
mand viii be sufficient to sustain the
market, unless the available offerings
are fed out judiciously. Much interest
has been raised by the various pro-
posals to control prices in Australia,
the latest move being an effort on the
part of the buying brokers in Mel
bourne to get a consensus of opinion
from England, America, the Contin-
ent and Japan as to whether the Aus
tralian auctions ought to start in July
or be further postponed until Septem-
Der. Seventy per cent of the Boston
wool trade has voted in favor of July,
and the result has been cabled to Mel
bourne. Manufacturers are showing
more interest in worsted Wools, and
the trend Of the uarxet is toward the
fine side. Speculative excitement is
still running high in the middle west
and in Texas, top prices of the season
since shearing being paid in recent
Woolen mills are running full, and
woola are being taken stead
ly and in fair volume. Manufactur-
ars continue to buy worsted woods,
ooth foreign and domestic, largely in
Of future needs. It Is
1ot considered good policy to make
prices for the new lightweight season |

SHOWERS GENERAL OVER
STATE THE PAST WEEK

| Local showers, varying in amount,
have been general over the district III
the last seven days. Showers have
been frequent in southeastern Ari-
zona and the drouth from which that
section has suffered for MANY months
has been greatly relieved. Western
New Mexico has also had good show
ers and range, stock and water condi-
tons are in consequence greatly i'm
proved. Heavy showers have fallen
in the Pagson and Pleasant Valley
sections and pastures are already on
the mend Blsbee, Clifton, and the
st. Johns districts report heavy show
ers IN places. Over two inches Of rain
fell at Douglas during the week and
frequent rains in the Sulphur Springs
valley have improved range and water
conditions and cattle are improving
steadily The range is reported good
on both the north and south rims o.
the Grand Canyon. Pastures have i'm
proved considerably on the south side
and plenty of feed for deer and ali
stock is available on the north side.
After many months of extreme dry
ness at Thatcher recent showers have
caused some improvement in pastures.
Absence of rain has favored the de
velopment and harvest of cantaloupes
IN the Salt River and Yuma valleys
and the harvesting Of grapes in the
former has made fine progress. The
peak of cantaloupe harvest has been
reached in the Yuma section and the
crop has been unusually successful |
Recent showers in the Flagstaff sec.
ton have been of great value to the /
growers of potatoes and grain hay.
Cotton is making excellent progress in
southern counties and is probably /
farther advanced in the Yuma valley.

DISTRIBUTING FORTUNES

I'm my travels and talks" says 3. c. Forbes, writ
or on business and finance, 81 frequently come
across very rich men who do not contemplate without
misgiving the bequeathng of millions to their children.
Enormous unearned wealth is coming to be regarded
by many a doubtful blessing Some men have reach
ed the conclusion that it constitutes grave danger,
and they plan to distribute considerable part of their
money before they die.
Anyone may notice the working of this tendency,
by following the from day to day. Andrew Car
negie was notable pioneer in this matter. The elder
Rockefeller is good example. Various men of less
wealth have given away most of their possessions in
recent years months.
Often the wealth is given to philanthropy. Some
times it is divided among many family heirs instead of
being left for few Either method is better for So
ciey and probably better for the heirs themselves as
rule than to have big fortunes left intact to direct
descendants after the death of the who has made
them. Unearned money is doubtful blessing unless
the inheritor uses it wisely to carry on useful work
which requires large blocks of capital.
From this point Of view inheritance taxes, which
many rich criticise bitterly may be blessing
in Disguise by inducing give away and break
up their fortunes before they die.
