The speculative mania has struck on
in a very pronounced manner, but there
is every likelihood of a check to further
extensive speculative buying, as the man-
ufacturers are not responding so hun-
grily as some factors expected, and quick
turns at a cent or two profit look farther
away than tiiey did the first of the month.
The manufacturers are not in a position
to stand a hold-up, and the result is a
check on the enthusiasm of previous
weeks, and today s prices are not quota-
I bly higher than two weeks ago.
The wool situation, on the whole, is
especially good, and while 110 big profits
are expected, the trade will come out
I much better than they did a year ago,
I and with good generalship some of last
! year'jfe losses will be made up. A pe-
culiar feature, and withal the most en-
couraging feature of the season, is the
! steady demand for clothing wools. Last
I year, fine and fine medium territory
wools could not be moved, after the big
sales to the American Woolen Company,
in any sizable quantity, while this year
they are in demand as fast as made, and
some dealers have stopped taking orders
for them until they are better graded
up and can tell more definitely just how
much their stocks will make.
Such a state of trade Is exceedingly
healthy, first, because it takes away the
lower priced wools, stocks that earlier in
the season caused dealers many a bad
half hour, and secondly, it eases up on
the staple wools, and beyond any ques-
tion gives them a higher future value, as
the longer staple wools sot the better is
the prospect for advancing prices, as the
course of foreign markets is certain to
advance prices for staple wools in our
local markets.
. It is a foolish notion to attempt a cor-
ner of any wools on the list, and it will
prove of no benefit to put fictitious
values on stocks disposed of from week
to week, as the manufacturers can pay
only about so much for their raw stock,
until thev can work up prices for their
goods, and better results will follow if
the advance in wools is adjusted as fin-
ished goods advance. A sale of some
very choice lots of wool at a cent or two
cents above quotations dues not make a
general market, and this is illustrated by
the recent trading In Montanas. The big
lots went at prices ranging from 21
cents to 22V6 cents, yet small lots of
choice graded Montana have sold at 23Vfc
cents, and this figure will be the market
price before lor.g, but not quite yet. At
22V& cents it was a cent or more a pound
higher than the market price two weeks
before election, and not a few buyers are
regretting exceedingly that they did not
purchase their supplies before Novem-
ber 3.

week and the corresponding week last
year were as follows;

previous sales, although some stated the
advance was 10 per cent on merinos and
15 per cent on crossbreds.
Cattle Clatter.
Denver is growing as a live stock mar-
ket, but she got 10,000 hogs week before
last and the Record-Stockman published
a notice to the hog feeders that Denver
had a sufficient supply to last another
week. Why don't Armour <Sr Co. and the
S. S. Company begin breaking dirt for
their million dollar plants at that place,
for Colorado undoubtedly has the hogs.

Rains were quite prevalent in the State
last week and snows were reported from
the extreme western and northern bor-
ders. South Texas had rain with very
acceptable weather, and unless old Boreas
interferes grass will continue to grow.
It is reasonably certain now that there
will be plenty of fat cattle next spring,
but they will not go to market until the
price becomes an inducement.

Alamo Commission Company, San An-
tonio and Fort Worth, are the people to
ship your live stock to, where you will
get top prices and prompt returns.
The West will watch with considerable
Interest the maneuver of Congress with
reference to the duty on hides. The shoe
manufacturers allege that the present
duty only benefits the packers. If the
duty Is removed on hides and a corre-
sponding reduction is made on imported
shoes, the cattleman will not complain,
though he knows as well as the shoe
manufacturer knows that it will ufford
an excellent excuse for the packer to buy
cattle cheaper. There are more cattle
raisers on the ranges and the farms than
there are shoe manufacturers and it
seems to be up to the cattle raisers' or-
ganizations of the country to enter a pro-
test against being fleeced ns they were In

The Missouri Dairy Association Is en-
gaged In the task of separating the State
Dajry Department from the Pure Food
Department for the reason that the lat-
ter is really a police department and is
retarding and obscuring the instructive
and dairy work, which is ef prime impor-
tance. It is claimed that the 1'rdted
States Department of Agriculture is de-
generating into a police department. An
official of the dairy association says:
"We attend a meeting of dairy officials
and wo find they are lrr>ldlng a grand
jury session bfhlnd closed doors and send-
ing out summonses ordering people be-
fore them in order to collect evidence for
police prosecutions. In our opinion the
sooner the police department, the pure
food department and all branches of the
department of justice are separated from
the Department of Agriculture the better
Is will be for all concerned, especially for
the Department of Agriculture."

CHATTANOOGA, Tenr., Nov. 29.—The
Tradesman of December says of the
iron and steel trade: It will soon be
time to call a complete halt In the sell-
ing of Iron for delivery during the first
quarter of the coming year In the South,
unless there are Intentions of greatly in-
creasing the make.
There has been some healthy business
transacted since the buying movements
started, the aggregate being up with
hut two weeks' selling to within
a close margin of the probable make
for the first three months of the coming
year. There has been but little buying
for the second quarter In 1909, for the
reason that there is no inclination to dis-
pose of the iron for the first half of
the coming year beyond the first quarter.
There has been a policy in the South not
to sell more than three or four months
ahead for the simple reason that there
may be considerable adjustment in quo-
tations and for other reasons, and at
present the Indications are that there will
be a better p^ice obtained for the Iron
when the selling movement for the sec-
ond quarter of the coming year finally
sets in.
The quotations have been quite firm
for several weeks at $3 per ton for No. 2
foundry. Some iron was disposed of
under that price. The larger furnace
companies have been expressing a. de-
sire to hold prices down to this figure,
while in other quarters it is asserted
there are no reasons why the demand
should not regulate the market, which
means that a better price would be ap-
preciated.

FREDERICK A. SAWYER DIES.
Death Occurs at London—Was Widely
Known Figure.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—A cablegram
from London, England, anounces the
death there last night of Col. Frederick
A. Sawyer, 68 years of age, of Garden
City, Long Island. For a number of
V'-ars Mr. Sawyer was secretary of the
Clyde Steamship Line, but he had been
abroad for two years in connection with
the sale of Tennessee coal lands.
He was the son of Thomas Jefferson
I Sawyer, one of the founders of Tuft's
the highest of all the ctffil producing
countries in the world. 4.N6 In every 1U0Q
men employed. In European countries,
where fsimilar Governmental stations
have been established, the rate has been
lowered from one as high as the present
rate in this country to one and two in
every 1000 employed.
At Pittsburg station a number of so-
called "safety" explosives have been
tested and found to be anything but safe.
These explosives have been fired in quan-
tities of fire damp, and In many Instances
terrific explosions have followed. Thes*)
results have been startling to mine own-
ers and miners alike, and will undoubt-
edly lead to the use of better explosives,
which will in itself roduce the death rate
in the mines.
Perhaps the most important demonstra-
tion ana the one that will be the furth-
est reaching In stopping the slaughter of
the miners was that in which it was re-
peatedly shown that coal dust, without
the presence of gas, is an explosive
equally as dangerous as the fire damp
itself, if not more so. Several weeks ago
the Ohio Mining Commission visited the
experiment statioj. taking with them
twenty samples of coal dust. Tests were
made of these samples in the explosive
chamber, and hardly one of. them failed
to explode. The explosions were as a
rule more severe than those caused by
the fire-damp. These experiments will
lead to a more careful watering of the
mines, and this, it Is thought, will be
a big factor In reducing the mine death
•ate.
From unofficial sources comes the esti-
mate that the number of men killed this
year In the mines will bo from 800 to 1000
l'ess than in 1907. this providing there is
no unusual accident during the closing
month of the year. Even with as disas-
trous a month as December. 1907, in
which 700 men were killed in four ex-
plosions, the number killed this year, it
is said, will not equal that for the year
before.
This large reduction In the number of
men killed is due, it is believed, to the
agitation that followed the bin explosions
last December, decision of the Govern-
ment to probe the causes of the disasters
and the experiments already conducted
at the experiment plant.
