beard what rough, tough place this
mining camp is. lives life Of terror for
few days. She imagines every rough

The miners coming off shift are objects
Of horror. Then she finds that no one
molests her. She finds that they will
go out Of the way to do her a favor.
That almost without exception they are
gentlemen in the truest sense of the
word.
The girl who Is insulted unless by a
drunken man, is a rarity. or course any
girl who invites that sort Of thing by
look or action is always accommodated.
The girl who affects mannish air, and
goes flying down the street with her
hands In her coat pockets may be
laughed at but that Is as far as it goes.
That specimen is not common here.
They are only among the beginners who
want to show their Importance as wage
carriers and think that is the proper
way. The womanly girl is always adj
mired. revered and looked up to by the
men of Butte and she is in the great
majority here, where the girl wage
earners are numbered by thousands.

The question is often asked: Where
and how do the girls of Butte, who
are employed as stenographers, clerks,
cashiers, and in other capacities live?"
1t is a fact that there are few homes
in Butte where the girls who work can
live with their parents, for most of
them have left parents and homes
either east of west. To the fortunate
few it is an easy problem for they have
the love. and protection of home ties.
Every girl who lives at home. when
questioned, replied that she paid a GER
tain sum each week for board and room.
In many cases the girls are the main
support. In one big store there are
eight girls whose mothers are widows.
Those girls almost entirely support their
little brothers and sisters. Even the
girls whose parents are possessed of
wealth and fine homes, insist upon pay
Ing for their support. What is the
use of working to be independent if I
do not pay for my board and room?"
queried West Side belle.
To the majority, those who have to
room and board with strangers, it is
a difficult proposition. Teachers, as a
class, are almost without exception

OF the day, is not to raise the money to
purchase summer raiment, but what Is
the correct thing.
No place in the world do the people
have more money to spend in such a
cause than right here in Butte. 1t is not
confined to a few but wages paid here
are so high that the wives of the miners
buy the goods that only the wives Of the
well-to-do can afford in other places.
Travelling men assert that to no other
city, according to population. do they sell
the fine goods, the quantities of silk pet
ticoats. the very latest of everything, that
they do to the merchants Of Butte.
Many people are in doubt just what to
buy. They see something they admire
which they feel would be the proper
thing, yet are not absolutely sure it is
up-to-date. The season is far enough ad-
vanced to have the summer modes firmly
settled and there will be but slight de-
viations until the fall season opens.

 Port receipts today were large, A,15S bales vs. 13,955 and 41T6 week and a year ago. If the large movement towards the ports means correspondingly large ex- ports, it will in the end be bullish in- stead of bear argument. It will reduce available supply on this side just so much before the end of the season which many believe are none too large now. Possibly the foreigner has taken the safe side and supplying time future wants. Estimated receipts for Houston for tomorrow are large-4400 to 4900 bales vs. 2220 and 136 a week and year ago. At New Orleans only to 5000 to 1900 bales vs. 5273 and 71S3

SPECULATION ON
 COTTON QUIET Price Fell from Five to Eight
 Points SLIGHT FURRY 1 O'CLOCK  Afterwards Prices Fell Back On Small Profit Taking sales-closed Very Quiet Points
 Off.

New York, April S0.-Speculation was again lIstless today in the cotton market and though the general ruling of prices was toward a lower level the shorts were far from confident and several times turned quickly for cover. On the first call fairly steady tone obtained despite the fact that prices were off 2 to points from last nights closing. A bad break in the English market was directly the cause of the opening and figured as the leading bear influence of the forenoon. Minor factors. including heavy port re- ceipts, exceptionally fine weather condi- tions over the belt and rumors that spot cotton in Southern markets was being freely offered at last nights selling quo tation On the down turn the foreign faction, the South and Wall street sold sparingly and the pit scalping element de- pressed July. At noon the loss had in creased to a matter of to points, sem timent at that time being bearish.
 A favorable weekly crop and weather summary from Washington and estimates for larger receipts against tomorrow were expected to give prices further push downward. But before 1 o'clock the ideas of the bear faction had undergone d change while the general ruling of the market was better. Prices rose to level slightly above the close of yesterday. The statement from Washington proved to be the worst received in some years at this time of the month, while the New Orleans estimate for tomorrow was far short of expectations. Fears of a higher Liverpool market helped to stimulate buying for both accounts. In mid after noon the market settled back several points under room profit-taking and finally closed quiet with prices to 8 points lower.
