GREAT BUYS ARE
THE BIG ELYS
AT PRICES TO WHICH THEY
HAVE TUMBLED IN THE LAST
FEW DAYs-WHAT MAY BE
AHEAD OF MARKET UNKNOWN

With all the balance of the market,
Ely stocks yesterday kept TO the
down grade. The figures 10 which
ed and Giroux dropped make them
look exceedingly attractive. particu-
larry the two latter.
1t is impossible to tell until the
metal markets shape around further
what may be in store for the cop
per stocks. but it is felt that there
cannot be much more decline for
them. The Elys look to be dragging
bottom at present prices.
Involved in the copper decline Is
said to be a final effort on the part
of Amalgamated to force the hand
of other producers and bring about
a price agreement similar TO that
which prevails on rails in the steel
trade. Amalgamated interests are
known to desire this outcome very
much and not a few copper produce
ers believe that such arrangement
must come ultimately and that un-
til 1t does come no satisfactory cop
per market can be had Certainly q
stable copper market would be high
ly beneficial to the legitimate stocks
There Is hope that yesterday saw
the forst of the crisis of the pres
ent week and that the market will
steady today. shaping around and
starting on the upgrade before the
end of the week. However, there
are a good many factors to consider
in the present slump and 1t is up to
developments upon which no accur-
ate forecast can be made to deter

WESTERN PACIFIC JUMP.
Stock Rises in Value Under Strong
Demand i'm New York.

Western Pacific stock has recently
assumed a new value, its sudden ad-
vance 10 $40 share attracting the
attention of investors throughout the
country, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. The value of this stock
prior to its remarkable rise has been
somewhat problematical. as it is not
listed on the New York Stock Ex-
change or on the lists of any similar
institution in the country.
That this sudden increase in the
value of Western Pacific stock is due
to the desire of the Hartman inter
ests to gain control of the road is
part of statement made by II. e.
Mulcahey of the firm of f. +. Hutton
& Co The Hutton firm is tie COM
pany which Is doing much OF the buy
ing on the New York curb market,
and Mulcahey stated last night that
the Hartman, Blair and Gould in
terests were combined in the pur-
chase of the stock.
This advance carries with II good
news for the depositors in the defunct
California Safe Deposit & Trust Co.,
that institution having control of
$4,000 shares of Western Pacific
stock OF this amount %, 900 shares
are owned by the bank outright and
the balance, 1900 shares, are held
as collateral for heavy loans. Re-
ceiver L. J. LIE Breton was besieged
with offers yesterday to purchase al
the stock held by the bank at $50 a
share, but these offers he refused
declaring that he had a firm belief
that II would eventually reach par

BINFoRD A HULsE LETTER.

Prices took another drop. The
leading rails were hit hard and
stocks all along the line sagged to
lower levels. The professional ele-
ment seems inclined to short the
market. thinking general conditions
have been doomed too much in the
past year. The metal market was
weak and dull. Ely coppers slid
down to lower levels. At present
prices they are a good buy. We
don't believe stocks can go much
lower with so much money in the
banks and at the low rates prevail

Enthusiastic applause greeted Miss

she appeared upon the stage of the
Auditorium yesterday afternoon and
faced large audience, composed en-
tirely of ladies, this being a special
matinee for ladies only. Miss Grey's
courteous and considerate manager
makes no specific claims for her: he
leaves the audience name the nature
OF her accomplishments, but that she
does perform the most wonderful
things is the universal verdict. and
her performance is of an order that

Miss Grey possesses an extremely
pleasing personality, and she captured
her audience from the moment she
smiled a response to the storm of ap-

not been destroyed; it has only slept.
Their meeting revives it in all it's old

they would have conquered their pas

their own desires he tempts the man

serve to show how we'll the Devil un-
derstands and plays upon the weak
nesses of human nature. This is the
physical, the apparent side of the
play. The occult side is even more in
teresting; for in a singularly adroit
and clever way, the audience is made
to understand that, after all, there is
no physical devil-no Satanic tempter
to be seen of men-but that the Evil
One is in the mind, and must be con-
quered, If conquered at all, within the
souls of men and women. The COM
pany that will present 1.-THE Devil" at
the Auditorium is said to be one of
the strongest ever organized for a pro-
duction of this kind. It is announced
an exact counterpart of the Henry w.
Savage Company, which is now giving
the play to such tremendous crowds
at the Garden Theatre, New York. In
cidentally, it will interest the public
to know that this is the only author
lied version of the play, and is being
given by direct arrangement with
Frand Molnar, the famous Hungarian
author. Mr.. Savage, in turn. has given
permission to James D. Barton and
company to present the original and
only correct version of the play and
this is the one that will be seen here.
Scenically, the production will be su-
perb. There is an entire carload of
scenery by Arthur Voegtlin-the ia,
nous scenic artist Of the New York
Hippodrome, and it is an exact COPY
OF that being used in the Garden The

large portion of its space to discussing

is no doubt that local play-goers will
be tremendously interested in seeing

TON.

Nearly every season has it's dra-

Merry Widow" This year it is,
strange to say, THE Devil" Probably
no play that has been seen in New
York in recent years has created any
thing like the furore that has been
aroused by this psychological, and yet
wonderfully dramatic stage story.
Those Vic have seen the play do not
marvel al its success. Those who
have not seen it are justified in won
dering why it has taken such a won
derful hold upon the public, and has
become the most discussed play of the
year.
The popularity of the 1.-The Devil"

through it all his persistent, heart

WOMAN IN THE

The Great Increase of the Fem
mime Worker Presents a
Serious Problem.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
Have industrial conditions actually
reached such a stage in the United States
that married women are tlocking into the
stores and factories in order to support
their husbands and children? The ques-
ton sounds like an effort to be facetious,
but it embodies the sober conclusion
reached by a serious writer in a current
magazine.
Less thar three decades ago few women
were employed in the business world
Teaching and employment In the domestic
arts were about the only opportunities
offered then for work outside the home.
ployes i'll stores are women: nearly 10 per
cent of the factory workers are women;
about 80 per cent of the clerical forces
employed in offices are women. Until the
last five years this great army OF work
ing women was composed almost wholly
of the unmarried and the widowed, or
those who were dependent upon their own
efforts for "a living. Now, it is claimed,
the married women have Joined the army
of ork in great numbers.
What is the cause? The allegation has
been made that at the root of this move
ment lies the restlessness of the modern
woman, her Dissatisfaction with the
limitations OF the home and it's often
times narrow income, her ambition to
enjoy fine Clothes. theaters and the gauds
of Il frivolous civilization. This charge Is
vigorously refuted by the writer referred
10. and also by the testimony of nearly
every working woman one encounters.
The reason given is economic. 1t is that
women have so supplanted men in certain
e~mploynents that men can no longer find
work to do. The women are given tho
preference. Consequently. when a man is
out of work, the wife often has the better
opportunity to become the breadwinner
for the family. Unless the man is spe-
cially trained to some particular trade OF
business, he has to compel not only with
men in a similar condition.. but with ar
army OF women who can afford To work
for less wages. This is not only hulniliat-
