HESrERDAYS MARKET.

The money market was comparatively easy
Yesterday though the excitement IN the street
was increased by positive assurances coming
through Democratic channels that the FUNDING
hill would be passed as it came from the
Sonata. II was felt that this would leave
everything at stake upon the action OF the
President. which might be delayed for some
davs The general apprehension of disaster ii
the bill should become law was az strong yes.
terday as it was last week, and the temper Oh
the Street was curiOusly illustrated by the
prompt rally in prices and decline IN rates OF
interest which followed the announcement
that Mr.. Conger would lead in hllbustering
against the bill.
AWAY from the Stock Exchange the anxiety
among brokers was rs great as over because
il was clearly perceived that serious disturb
once. extending ultimately to all branches OF
trade and industry, might be caused by re-
newal of the surrender Of currency by the
banks. A very important feature is that the
bonds which Secretary Sherman has offered
to Durchase do not come forward with prompt
ness. Yesterday only $496,OOO were puI-
chased at the Sub-TreasuIy, so that the Irea-
sury has been able to get in three days only
1880, 800, while Offering to take $4,000, 900.
There are three classes Of holders who decline
to sell !. those who do not know anything about
the Offer or do not care anything abOutit, having
in mind no other place to invest their money ;
those who believe that the three per cent bonds
cannot be sold, even if the bill should become
n law: and those who rest in the belief that
the bill cannot become law. 1t is likely that
the latter class might have a large number Of
bonds to offer, if the bill should be signed. But
the amount Of money which could thus be re-
leased would evidently be insignificant in com
parisOn with the amount which the BANKS would
speedily deposit for surrender of circulation If
their apprehension that the bill might be signed
should again be arSused. The deposits for that
purpose yesterday amounted to only $71O'O5O.
But large orders are still held, awaiting further
developments at Washington.

Now all this interests but hardly thrills. IL

sitting up nights wondering what these three
ex- Governors, who represent that vast stretch OF

MUSIC AND THE DRANA.
MEFIsTOFELE.

The Strakosch- Hess Opera Company began q short
season of English Opera at HaverlYs Fifth Avenue
Theatre. last night, with the performance OF an
English version of BotO's "Meastotele." The
choice was hardly a wise one. The work
never became really popular here after its
production during Mr.. Maplesor's fall
season. in spite Of the elaborate and
exceptionally beautiful stage setting which was
then given it. and in spite too of the earnest efforts
for its success of Campanini, who made personal
matter of 1t on account of his friendship with
the composer and did everything in his power to
secure for it a perfect representation. The work
was still less likely to catch the popular fancy when
performed at tho Fifth Avenue Theatre, where the
smollness of the stage precluded the striking and
original stage effects which lent such attractiveness
to the work as presented on the larger stage OF the
Academy of Music, however good the intentions
of the management In justice to Mr. Strakosch, 1t
should be said that he did everything in his
power with the means at his command.
The scenery was appropriate and effective, and the
dresses were bright and fresh. But the ballet,
which should play such an important part in the
opera was left out altogether and the scene OF tho
Witches revels on the Broken was In great
measure robbed Of its significance, for there were
no royels at oil.
Az for the performance the most satisfactory part
'NA --N'N''
of Trou Her experience and knowledge OF stage
effects stood her In good stead, and her tmpersona-
ton, If not highly dramatic, was satisfac-
tory in quiet way. In the fourth
net too as Helen she looked the part to perfection.
She sang carefully and correctly and with excellent
taste but the role does not afford scope for her best
talents, nor room for great display of any
kind. The other members Of the cast were by
no means as good. Mr. Comfy has beautiful
voice. but his Mephistophees was heavy and uninter-
esting. There was nothing sardonic about this
devil; he was simply bore. MISS
Annandale, as Martha and PdatdIis, was no
better. The new tenor, Mr. Perugini,
has q powerful but uusympathctic voice. and he Is
possessed of an astonishingly redundant and all
peryading vibrato. Adding to this an uncertainty
ofntonaon which spoiled the ensembles and left one
IN the Rravest doubt as to just what key he might
be singing ia in the solos, and the result was not
likely to be pleasant The orchestra was somewhat
noisy, but fairly good on the whole and the
chorus was very we'll drilledj but there was not
much spirit about the performance and 1t cannon DC
accounted a successful one. .L
Better things may be expected later IN the week,
