COTTON MARKET.
Increase In Price..A Feeling Of
Confidence.

Increase In Priee-.A Feeling OF
Confidence.
There is a feeling of much more
confidence in the cotton market.
There has been a slight looking
up in the market for the past few
days, aid every day the feeling of
increased confidence grows strong
err.
But little Is coming in, however,
during the present week, which
fact is doubtless due to the rush
on the farms to gather the crop as
rapidly as it opens. Little time is
taken to carry the cotton to the
gins or bring it to market.
The, local buyers now say that the
Impression which has been created
abroad by the h avy receipts that
the crop was an unusually large
one has been dispelled, and Liv<
erpool cotton men are beginning
to realize that the supply OF this
season is going to be an uncom-
monty short one, and that all the
cotton sold in the future must
bring good prices.
Nearly 5000 bales have been
marketed in Dawson to date.

The Closing Week of the Summer Opera
at Albaugh's-A Benefit to Miss La

No one could complain at the manner in which
the Lamont Opera Company rendered Patience"
at Albaugh's last week In no opera yet given
by the company have the parts seemed individu-
ally better adapted to the members of the cast
than in this fanciful creation of Gilbert and sui
Ivan, and personal merits were combined
with graceful affinity to produce har-
monious whole. Miss Lamont in the title
role did her best work of the season. She pre-
sented a charming embodiment of the guileless
country lass, and rendered her music with
freedom from studied effects which might be
utilized to good advantage in other of her parts
Miss Hanley made typical Lady Angela, and
Miss Mabella Baker as Lady Jane added to the
high opinions achieved for her reliable work
The gentlemen of the cast were all excellent
Mr.. De Lange's B,tnthornc was greatin the sense
that such a part can admit of greatness His
presentations always possess the merit OF orig-
nality, and his conception of a character withal
never loses q 1.-THE of the patent humor of the
lbrettist 1t was with his role last week.
Mr. Lloyd Wilson as GrosUenor and Mr.. Brode-
rick as Cdluerlcy both at their best. and the
same may be said of Messrs. Clark and David.
The chorus was strong and showed more famili-
arity with the work they had to do than was the
case in the opera of the preceding week.
