season On--The VacuOus and In
nocuOus Manner in which the
Fashionable Women spend Their
TIme-Thc BeImonts Preparing to
Descend Upon Washington.
Washington, January 12.-Society found
itself with a disengaged evening upon the
calendar owing 10 the postponement OF
the diplomatic reception which was to
have occurred on Wednesday. An attack
of grippe compelled the President to ADAM
don the reception and thus throw out Of
employment the vast army of social
workers who refuse to consider the eight
hour and seven-day law
over two thousand persons suffered a
distinct disappointment, for the clamor for
invitations for this the most brilliant
evening function of the official season,
was unprecedented. The secretary to The
President had his first experience in ham
ding the requests for invitations. Last
season the late Secretary Porter bore the
mental worry and he was not as happy
in his distribution of favors, as his sue
cessor. Secretary Cortelyou is endeavor-
ing to follow the st. Paul doctrine, and
be all things to all men. He makes him
self very popular in consequence.
Said Mr. Cortelyou recently: Senators
and representatives, army and navy Of
hcers and all men entitled to any consld-
Grafton have begged for invitations to the
diplomatic reception with more persist
ency than Is usually shown in office seek
ing. One would think there was 10 be- no
other reception this winter"
1t is a fact, indeed. that every one Is
DESTROYS of going to the Presidents house
at the time when there is most satisfac-
ton In being seen there.
The interest in the army bill continues
at fever heat. The private galleries In
the Senate chamber have been thronged
with fashionable women connected with
the army, the placing Of whose husbands
means so much to them. Many a woman
goes into exile with her husband, but
few do so willingly, and the wives Of
army officers do "A vast amount of lobby

Metal Market.

New York. April 1.-THE metal market. on
the whole. was somewhat better to-day: Ad-
ter. with news from abroad Indicating general
frmness. Tin In local circles rose about 25
points in sympathy with the advance for that
metal in London. said to be the result Of Amer
lean speculative dealings. despite the fact that
close here was 1irmer at ses. e5aes. 20. while at
London closing prices were f117 12s Cd on spot
and ELS IS for futures. A fair business was
done in both markets. Copper in London declined
l5s and experienced a weak undertone. with spot
closing at go IS Sd and futures f70 15g. Here,
however the market was more or less nominal
at unchanged prices. Exports Of copper are ex.
tremely small. amounting for the first half Of
April to only 200 to:s. against a total Of 12,475
tons for April a year ago. This factor was at
tributed to a lack Of European demand, where
consumption has fallen OF materially, A little
eteadier feeling. prevailed in spelter. owing to a
light local inquiry. and prices at the close were
2s points higher than yesterday. With the tone
firm A rise Of e Sd abroad to fS LIS helped
the steadiness. Lead remains inactive and un-
changed at s4.s7H. Domestic Iron markets ruled
