Lead-General.

The past week has been the 'gladdest
OF all the year" to all sorts of dealers.
and even yesterday, the day after the
Christmas rush was over, would have
been very satisfactory Saturday had
1t not been for the very miserable
weather.
The price of lead and the price of
cereals combine to make the outlook
more encouraging for next year, than
it looked either one. two or three years
ago. Of the prospect in the east, the
New York Journal says:
The year is closing with a very en-
couraging outlook. Our lead, copper,
and iron ore mines can confidently ex-
pect better things next year than last.
The pig-iron market has advanced
everywhere, except in New York, where
only Bessemer and some special brands
have risen-and no doubt all will here
advance somewhat at the opening OF
the year. Steel rails have advanced IS
ton, and promise to maintain that al
vance. Copper has at last made move
on the upward road. which we believe
it will follow for some time, though
probably not rapidly. Lead has gone
up to the limit at which our present
tariff brings it into competition with
foreign lead. And generally, our manu-
facturers, our miners, and our furnace
men look forward to the future with
hOpefulness and confidence.

DARK DAYS is failure in New York

ALICE HARRISON drew a large Christ
mas matinee and a tremendous house at
night, the two running considerably
over 81 600. Yesterday afternoon there
were so few in the house that Miss Har-
rison, who was suffering from a sore
throat, decided not to tax her voice,
and the audience was dismissed. Last
evening a good house again greeted the
company.

DRAMATIC AND LYRIC.

The principal thing to be said against
Alice Harrison is that, with all her
ability and all her experience, she has
allowed her name to be pinned to any
such trash as this mess of dry rot called
Hot Water. She has all her old bur
lesque powers and the conception of
the humorous which made her stand
out so brightly in the clever lines and
situations of Photos, and she has sur
rounded herself with a company whose
abilities far transcend the average COM
pilation of comedians. But the plot,
the lines, the situations of Hot
Water are all so dreary. stupid,
and unoriginal that one who has sat
it through rises at the end of the per-
Torrance with a strong inclination to
take to strong drink. Two or three
musical gems are besprinkled through
the dreariness, and Miss Harrison s
Yum Yum was so decidedly clever that
il was encored half a dozen times; but
one sWa low doesn't make summer,
and one or two laughs and one or two
movements that call for applause are
not sufficient to repay one for sitting
through the remaining two and a half
hours of sombreness. Mr.. DicksC n
might be very clever young. actor in
any part that afforded the least op-
portunity for his abilities; Mr.. David,
by the power of his legs, succeeded in
extracting some fun out of his
part, Mr.. Kyle gave but a fair i'm

imitation of the Private Secretary. Mr.
Mathews is decidedly clever in panto-
nina way. What Miss Reitfarth
Judging, from a severe hoarseness with
which she was inflicted.
Hot Water is type of entertainment
which is very popular in the east, but
which, unless there was something
more than acrobatic feats, display OF
petticoats and kicks towards the gallery
In it, has never ''cau hit on" in the
west. Dreams, A Bunch of Keys, a
Rag Baby and Photos have taken here
| because there was real wit in the lines,
humor in the situations, satire In the
plot and more or less genius in the con
struction. Such emanations as the
Skating Rink. Peck's Bad Boy, The
Adamless Eden, and we must
add Hot Water, will never
thrive out this way, because they
contain little or none of these essentials
Miss Harrison, too, is given TO freedom
| in kicking over the heads OF the
orchestra. and to tendency to display
her neither apparel, which, let the
gallery gods yell at i as they may, Will
never be received with any marked
degree of favor BY the down stairs ele-
ment.
1t must not be imagined from all Of
the above that there was no apprecia-
ton ia the audience; among Those
who liked that sort Of thing" and they
were mainly confined to the exalted
regions. the applause, yells and encOreS
have seldom or never been surpassed In
the Theatre. This is not the sort OF
pa tronage that ensures the life Of an
traction, however. and I'VE greatly feaI
that Hot Water is doomed to be set
down in its early youth. We shall look
with curiosity to see its reception il
San Francisco, where the Stating Rink
so early fell. Alice Harrison'has an
immense following there, however, and
her popularity viii doubtless enable
the venture TO float for a while.

church, a service which must recon-

says: Merchants generally feel con
dent that the new year will bring a
better demand, which fact imparts
firm tone to most markets. At Chicago
business is more quiet and the weather
is bad. The distribution of WoOlens and
other seasonable staples has felt the de
clinlng demand most. The request for
holiday goods there is said to be the
heaviest for three years past. There
are no features from st. Louis except
the inCr aied firmress of pig iron. which
is believed to promise an early advance
in price. In the northwest, Mime
