"HUMPTY DuMPTY had a fall" but not at
Wallis Opera House last night. On the con-
Tary, he had great lift, = the audience at the
first performance being very large, and so much
satisfied with the performance, as evinced by
the laughter and applause, that ''Humpty
Dumpty" seems securely on his feet for a good
run. Added to the usual transformations, many
of which were new and all well done, the tricks
&C., the ballet performances by a dozen pretty
young ladies were a notable feature. Mile
kiralfy is superior danseuse, and the Bolosky
Brothers are good dancers. The Foxes are
admirable actors, and the troupe, as whole, is
very good and deserves success.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.


TUESDAY, Nov 20 p. NJ
Tho activity in money noticed at the close Of bank
ting hours on Monday continued to-day and lenders
were enabled to place their funds at full seven per
cent where the colaterals were stocks and miscel-
laneous shares. In some instances borrowers on
governments were accommodated at six per cent
The change Is to the sudden withdrawal OF three
Or four millions OF currency by the City Chamberlain
for the redemption OF Q portion anu the payment or
she interest on the balance OF the city debt
II Is only temporary disturbance, however,
~ the money does not go out OF
the city, but Will find its way back
Into the BANKS again within few days. Otherwise
there Is no feature In the general monetary srua-
hon. There is still good demand from some Sec
lions OF the South and currency is going in that
direction but the receipts from the interior in the
Horth are steady and almost equal to the outflow
The other way Were the collections OF our mer-
chants better there would be large gain In these
receipts over the Southern shipments. AS to the
grain crop there Is still no movement, at
least such as to call for any large amount
pf currency from the banks. The president
pr one Of the prominent Western roads. who reached
%his CITY rhis morning, reports sudden movement
pf the crops as having commenced towards the close
bf last week, and that the freighting facilities OF his
toad were taxed to their utmost 1t ia very certain
however, that the demand Tor money corresponding
banks. 1t may be too early to look for 1t, 1t
u true, but n the crops are coming as
reported our sensitive money market VIII soon
kenect the fact. At bank the rate for commercial
paper Is nominally seven per cent but the street
prime notes Of sixty days TOUR months time are
quoted nom nine to fifteen per cent discount.
Foreign exchange was firm and dull on the basis of
400 for prime bankers sixty day and 109s for sight
sterling bills. The gold market was excited over
further decline, the price going or to 1914, the
lowest quotation since 1868 when it twice touched
l26 Tao whole market has become bearish In feel
ing and the premium is at length rejecting the i'm
proved Character Of our national credit, the demon
stration OF which enhancement In the value OF the
national paper would have been made earlier
IN the history or The present administration
had not the great gold speculation given gold a
FICTITIOUS advance and reduced to naught the effect
OF the steady reduction Of the national debt. The
range Of the price to-day is shown IN the following
table the upward turn toward the close OF the day
being from the usual reaction after sharp
