there is certainly small comfort in 1t for the bears. Even the nimble-footed profess sionals on the floor of the stock exchange have a hard time catching up with the fractions. The rank and file of traders who put in their time trying to scalp out profits find their capital steadily eaten into. The fluctuations for many weeks past have not suffered even the best win ners to pay commissions and the other incidental expenses. Under the circum- stances the surprising feature of the mar ket Is not that there is so little business, but that the volume of trading in stocks has been so large. The market has pos itively held out no induce ments for traders.
 dscouraging feature of the general situation is the heavy and continuous drag being made upon deposits in savings banks The thrifty classes who have put their small surpluses in these institutions are manifestly feeling the pinch of hard times very seriously. The drain upon the small savings accounts Of the little peo- pie Is becoming more marked with every days prolongation of the siege.
 The railroads have pretty well cleaned up their floating indebtedness and funded their short-time obligations in bonds By the time the general business community begins to feel a need for funds the pro- cesst will have been entirely completed. In this respect the situation is almost precisely as foreshadowed in this corre- spondence months ago. For the time be- ing the bond market seems to be pretty well filled up Bond houses and salesmen for these institutions report that dullness has taken the place of the activity of the two months immediately following the January disbursements.
 
 Europe is probably barer of Americans than 1t has been for generation. For the last six months it has been sending back large amounts of our securities, paying in that way for the necessities of life which it has been obliged to buy

They say that Harrington and Wilson gave Nell more to do than her doting yet judfcious husband would let her undertake. and the play had to be amended for safety.

 Again say that had never seen an audience so at odds as the one at ''springtime's" introduction.

 With the advantage of many years spent in all the civilized countries of the earth. where this circus is as well known as in it's home country, it has constantly been gathering the mate rials to be used in this years street pageant. Agents have ransacked re- mote savage lands. artists and design CTS from the studios of France have been at work on the creation of ideas, and for two years, day and night, me- chanics and property builders have been working at the foreign quarters of the circus.

Rich and fan tastic wagons of state, gorgeous tab leau floats, and chariots made in China. France and Germany. and fairy wag- ons in miniature, bearing the myths of child -lore made in brass. The laces. costumes, flags and banners were made in France. the special tapestry and throne rugs in Persia and the various trappings and other properties were constructed in the circus shops, at Stock on Trent.

 No mall orders for seats will be ac- cepted. except those from out-of-town.g and these will be filled in the order of their receipt. but only after the regular sale shall have opened.

TURFMEN BOUND
EASTWARD IN GLOOM
Many Reports Are Circulated of Pro.
posed Attempts to Race Thor
oughbreds on Eastern
Tracks

CHICAGO, April 19.-Turfmen from
the Pacific coast are passing through
the city on their way westward, in
Guiding many who started before the
meeting at Santa Anita and Oakland
closed, in the hope of getting stallroom
-at some of the eastern tracks.
With their arrival, reports of an at
tempted meeting across the Indiana
line or at Buffalo City, Mich. again
became current but no corroboration
Of the story was obtainable.
That the local magnates will make
an attempt to reopen at present was
the consensus of opinion here.
John Condor, who will have charge
of the racing situation at Overland
park, Denver. this year, may decide to
extend the meeting to fifty-tyo days,
although no official announcement mas
been made to that effect Condor Is
conducting the management of affairs
from this city, and declares he is not
interested in any local racing associa-
ton enterprise.
Christopher Telles of ST. Louis is
expected in this city shortly, but 1t is
not believed his advent will have any
thing to do with the scheme once ad-
vanced by managers of turf syndi-
Gates, formerly in control of st. Louis
tracks, to start a circuit OF courses in
Iowa.
The scheme once proposed was to
have a circuit of small tracks, with
short meetings like that once held at

RACQUET EXPERT
MAYCHANGEMIND
MISS MAY SUTTON is SAID TO
HAVE ALTERED PLANS
TENNIS CHAMPION MAY COMPETE
ON ENGLISH COURTS
Pasadena's Famous Player Has Finest
Collection of Trophies and Medals
In the Country, Won in Every
Cline

Tennis experts the country over are
1ust now deeply interested in the doings
of Miss May Sutton, champion woman 8
tennis player of the United States, and
formerly champion of the world. her
decision not to return to England 10
engage in the international series at
Wimbledon proved such disappolnt-
ment to the lovers of the game in yam
keedom that Miss May is said to be
seriously considering changing her
mind and making the long and ardu-
Gus trip across the Atlantic to again
compete for the highest racquet honors:
A movement has been broached to send
the spirited little expert over as a rep,
resenttstive of Southern California, and
this should receive the hearty support
of every follower of amateur sports.
Miss Sutton with her sisters has just
concluded play in the international
matches in Mexico City, where the
wonderful little title-holder completely
outclassed all her opponents. showed
all her old. time speed and skill, and
delighted the spectators with exhibi-
tions of tennis of almost perfect tech
nique. The best players in Mexico and
those of the west were entered in the
matches and while as a whole the
United States came off second best.
Miss Sutton and her partner annexed
the mixed doubles without difficulty.
has a collection of medals and trophies
which are to her invaluable, and are
probably the finest collection of trophies
won In amateur contests in this coun-
try. There are forty-one gold and sill
yer cups and plates won by her in vari-
Gus parts of the world, besides more
than one hundred medals Each of these
has history of it's own telling of hard
fought tennis battles and victories. and
many of them are exceedingly hand
some and costly. The trophy which is
perhaps most priced by Miss Sutton is
the cup given by the marquis of Butte.
The cup was offered as the prize for the
singles play, and has been won by her
three successive times, becoming finally
her personal property. Among her 9TH
er possessions which are priced is the
trophy given her by the people of Pasa-
dena, her home city. when she returned
from England for the first time as
champion of the world, and was ac-
corded a public reception.
