Anaconda woman's Literary Club.

An interesting meeting of the Woman's
Literary club of Anaconda was held at
the library Saturday. The most impor-
tant topic discussed was the possibility
of Joining the reciprocity bureau which
has recently been established in Mon

into closer communication by exchang-
ing papers and having them read In the
clubs on the same day.
It is expected that most of the clubs
will join this bureau, and SO become
more interested in one another.
Miss Anna Sutherland read the paper
which was to have been Miss McLaugh-
Inns. The paper contained an account OF
the life and reign of Charles V of Ger

Anaconda Society.

The ball given at the Montana hotel
last Monday evening by the young ladies'
Of Anaconda was the most delightful
social event thus far this season,
Mesdames Peckover. Winston. Norbeck,
Odson. Cairns and Morony acted as
chaperones.
The hostesses were all attired in yell
low. and during the first five dances wore
white masks. and chose their own part
ners. For the first dance the gentlemen
were all lined up in a double row back
to back. and the young ladies then
marched in and fastened a yellow flower
on the one whom she desired to be her
partner.
The gentlemen were practically buff
faloed." and many Of them underwent
their first experience as a wall flower.
From what can be learned 1t Is not by
any means pleasant or desirable sensa-
ton. The guests of the young ladies
voted 1t the most unique, novel and de-
lightful social function for several sea-
sons past.
The Anaconda lodge of Elks has de-
cided to give q dance at the Montana
Thanksgiving night. for Elks exclusively.
1t will be brilliant gathering. as the

since their organization and the COM

to make 1t a grand affair.

be given at the Montana Friday evening,

New York, November 1.-THE AdVer-
Users London cable says that the position
of the Lancashire cotton trade, both as re-
CARDS manufactured goods and raw cotton
has been more unsatisfactory during 90
tober than for long time past, no one
can deny. At the opening of the month
the stock OF raw cotton in Liverpool was
300 oOO bales, against 174,0o0 in 1890, and
10000 in 1899, but the price was only
44 pence per ounce, against 7l6 pence at
the corresponding time last year. The
question, however, for the spinners In
Lance shire was not whether the stock of
100000 bales was sufficient to supply the
trade with raw material until plenty Of
new cotton should arrive. but the far more
difficult question as TO how much of the
ostensible stock was really OF such quail
ity as to be disable. Since the practical
