Review OF the Stock, Honey, Bond,
Gold, and Produce Markets.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
New YoRK, Dec. 9.-The movement On the
Stock Exchange developed no new phase busi-
ness continuing, as usual, in few specialties
The Hannibal g. st. Joseph shares, however,
particularly the common, took conspicuous
place in the day's performance. transactions
having been made at 351l@3915 for common,
and 57@5915 for preferred. This movement is
believed to be under the direct control Of
parties connected with the nearest interests Of
the Company. Next in importance was the Pacific
Nail, which was irregular, and somewhat in
duenced by news that tho steamer Orizaba had
recently been disabled. Northwestern common
and preferred were exceptionally strong. the for
mer advancing from 86A to 49, and the preferred
from 80 to 81. This, together with the frmness
in Hannibal l. st. Joseph stocks, and IN easier
feeling in money. rallied the general market to
about the best figures.
The money market WAS characterized b. con-
tinued stringency, business having been largely
at 1-32. In the afternoon transactions were
made as low as currency. The business in
discounts is limited, the very best names pa6s-
ing only at 10 to y per cent.
Gold sold during the morning at 112765, and in
the afternoon at 11s111 and back again to 1l2776,
but the chief business has been at 113@11313,
representing the endeavors of the ''bulls to
market their stlong" gold. The IT short " inter-
est appears to have been oyer-eBtimated.

A Cairo Dry Goods Store Robbed Of
$4,000.
CAIRO, Ill, Dec. 9.-Considerable excitement
was caused in this city this morning by report
that Blum &, Anson, dry goods and clothing mer-
chants, had been robbed last night Of SIC, 900.
In an interview With Hlr. Blum. this morning, VIC
learned from him that he had in 3 desk in his
etore-room more than $40. 0.000, which he could
not deposit on Saturday evening; that he re-
manned in the store Ill day yesterday; that
at about o'clock last evening he and his clerk,
Mr. Ulnan, left the store and the money in the
desk; that when they returned at about 1880
o'clock last night and opened the front door
they discovered something like the fumes Of
chloroform in the room; that the desk was
broken open, the drawers pulled out, and the
money gone. He said further that the transom
over the rear door WAS broken open and the bar
lifted, the door closed, but unlocked. He sayB
he misses nothing but the money.
The t1ansom window WAS broken open, but
members Of the police assert that their evidence
will show that this was done from the inside, to
conceal the fact that the real cu1prit had 3 key
to the store. The affair ia enVe1oped in mys-
terry.
CAIRO, H., Dec. 9.-No further Discoveries
have been made in regard to the S2o, ,O00 rob-
berry here last night, except that OF some foot
prints in the back yard. Blum d Anson offer
81, 900 reward for the arrest Of the guilty party
and the recovery Of the money.

TOO SICK TO LIVE.

Strange Deuth Of an ItnlIan-Hc is Supposed
to Have Committed Suicide Rather than Go
to HospItal-Some Facts Concerning Him.
The Coroner VAS notified yesterday that his
services were required at No. 815 State street,
where man had died under rather peculiar cir
cunstances. He WAS unable to answer the gum
mons, owing to the accumulation Of previous
cases, but will doubtless Investigate the matter
to-day. Meanwhile, d TRIBUNE reporter has
ascertained the following particulars con-
corning the dead man He was an unmarried
Italian, aged about 40 years, and had been en-
p1oyed for some. months in the restaurant Of An
tonic Caproni, No. 815 State street. He was
known to the proprietor and customers Of the
place rs "John Greeley" a namo which
had been given him Immediately after he
went to work at the restaurant. The reporter
Was unable to ascertain his true name, for the
reason that the only person connected with the
house who knew it was not in when he called.
John died On Sunday night about 10 o'clock.
He had been complaining about four days, his
disease apparently being an affection Of the
fne him to his room. It is believed, however,
that he was suffering from an incurable disease
Of many years' standing. His physician, Dr..
Pillsbury, informed the proprietor Of the req
taurant on Sunday that he would have to be re-
moved to the hospital. Caproni communicated
this intelligence to John, and the latter said he
would never go to hospital, if he could help it.
He was not very i'll on Sunday, for he ate d very
hearty dinner, and supplemented it with cigar,
which he smoked with every evidence
of keen enjoyment. Shortly after the
meal he went out for little while, and upon his
return vent directly to his bed. When next
seen he YVES in q sound sleep, from which no
amount of noise or shaking could rouse him.
His friends, becoming alarmed, sent for DR..
Pillsbury. Ho was not in his Office but DR..
Smith, who occupies the apartment with him,
visited the man. From his appearance, the doc
tor WIS led to believe that John had taken 9
heavy dose Of narcotic poison. He instructed
the attendants how to act until ouch time as Dr.
pillsbury called AL the skill Of the latter Ply
slclan, however, was unayailing to restore tne
patient to consciousness, and he passed from
sleep to death without struggle. It is Thought
that he committed suicide rather than go to the
hospital without scarcely chance Of ever re-
covering his health. The acqnaintances OF the
dead italian know but very little Of him. His
friends, if he had any, do not reside n this city
He was q man Of some education, and 1t IL sad
once held the position OF stage manager OF an
opera company Disease, however, engender,
ed poverty, and the latter misfortune compelled
him to seek employment at anything that would
yield him q livelihood.

On the whole the play deserves the support Of

and what would play, any more than man,
amount to if it were perfect? It would be an
anomaly. It would be dull and uninteresting,

piece played Was s'Blue Beard" or one Of the
forms Of that protesn nursery story, "espec-

Thompson Company" as the programme
announces. The amount of "especal
writing and adaptation in the piece
is not at first appaccnt. nor does it imureas itself
