The market today was steady and
dull and the changes slight. Traders
did little and the commission business
was very light Before the close there
was some profit-taking. bat the mar
ket acted very we'll and had good
undertone. The bank statement was
good and we should have little easier
money in the near future. The mar
ket acted very we'll the last few days
and shorts of which there are large
number, are becoming anxious. For
the next week We look for quiet, but
steady market.

The purchase OF the Clark proper
ties In Butte was used as the bull card
on Amalgamated and the stock was
steadily advanced all day. There was
no speculative interest, however, In
the rest OF the coppers and prices for
the most part showed little change.
The feeling among traders IL still pes
simistic on the metal market and un-
less there's some decided Improvement
buying power is decidedly limited at

The season OF sack cloth and ashes
is abroad over the land and II seems
that never before has the Lenten sea-
son come SO early The days before
Ash Wednesday were all busy ones,
but very little in the way OF formal
entertainment has been done since the
midwinter holidays. Every hour is
fiiled, but mostly with small teas,
cozy dinners and card clubs of not
more than a dozen occupy all the time
and attention. Card clubs are ram
pant and never before in the history
of the city have there been so many,
several in q single afternoon playing
two, three or four tables of any of the
fashionable games and leaving no
time or inclination for other pastimes
or more pretentious social function.
These small affairs bid fair to con-
tinue through Lent for they are so
very informal. However, 1t might save
the hostess some worry, labor and ex-
pense to dispense with the serving Of
refreshments during Lent and also
help in the observance Of the fast
days. leaving neat little sum for
Easter offerings.

outciassed his opponent both in service and
voIleying during the early part of the con-
test and won the first two sets handily.
Thereafter he tired pereeptIby. Wiiding' s
longer reach served him in gold stead. and
superior playing at the base line enabled
him TO snatch victory which at one time
had seemed 10 be in the grasp OF the
American.
Widing's victory gives him the right to
challenge the holder, A. W. Gore, for the
championship OF Great Britain.
Wilding. in company with Norman Il.
Brooks, carried the Davis Cup TO Australia
in 1907. and since then the two brilliant
players have defended the international
trophy successfully in two matches against
teams from the United States.
Wilding is now visiting England on his
wedding tour around the world, and II is
quite possible that he will go TO the United
States in time TO play for the national
championship OF that country at Newport
in August.
