Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste OF varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality OF the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because OF its great

Yesterday was a dead one on the
market, as Saturday usually is. Bust

style, the outside orders alone su-
staining the semblance of trading.
Prices IN most of the issues reflect
ed the dullness in slight declines.
The Elys held better than most of
them and Nevada Con. scored a lit
tie gain. Ely Central continues to
feel the effects of profit taking. Bos-
tom Ely is looked to for movement
during the present week on the
strength of greatly improved situa-
tfon at the mine. Inspiration and
Mason Valley are looked to for re-
turn to activity and probable advance
during the present week, after a
season of quiet. Inspiration is en-
titled to advance on the strength of
it's recent requirement. of a new
block of ground which it has proven
up with drill holes. Closing of final
details of the transfer within a short
time should send this stock up the
line. Mason Valley has right to go
to a higher price level on the
strength of improved reports from
the lower working of the mine. This
level for a time looked ~unfavorable,
in consequence of which the stock
dropped off. Lately the ore body has
