The stock market was more active TINS
morning. Prices were weaker and declined
with but little interruption. The prlnci-
pal reason for the weakness was the adj
vance in the Bank of England rate from
10 per cent. The early prices i'll London
for American securities were from y to IL
per cent. lower than the closing figures OF
last night, while Norfolk and Western pre-
ferred was 2A lower. This caused cores
pOnding opening declines in this
market. which were followed by
further declines before noon, when 1t was
seen that the advance in the bank OF Eng
land rate of discount was to cause lmme-
immediate large exports Of gold. Before

ken for export in addition to the S2,OOO.OO

CHICAGO, July 3l.-Wth the exception
of cables. all the news to-day has been bull
sh. but the market shows no response and
closes at about bottom figures of the day.
General trade has not been large, and the
local crowd took advantage OF it to hammer
prices. Corn is SO mercural that it seems
folly to advance a guess as TO its course.
The early strength was on the continuation
of hot winds and absence of rain, but later
in the day reports of rain west Of the Mis-
souri, came, but were uhcOniirmed and
checked The bUllish ardor. do not think
there can be many heavy shorts lett outside
Of the cribbers, but, nevertheless. the mar
ket is a dangerous one 10 shorts Provisions
close steady. As far as can see the princi-
pal september shorts are eliminated, with
the exception Of the sales made bv the pack
ers against their products. The course of
the market viii be largely in sympathy with
corn.

Heavy Failure in the Lumber Business.

The firm of z. & b. Holmes, of Buffalo,
being unable to meet matured bills last
week, were obliged to suspend bust
ness. The firm has a large amount Of
Indebtedness, but have also large assets.
OF the indebtedness about $24 900 is due
to the Comstock Brothers OF this city,
and the Messrs. Fletcher have claim
against said Buffalo firm of $4,000.
There are also few thousand dollars
owing to F. w. Gilchrist, Burs Rust
and other firms doing business here.
Some Of the Holmes notes were discount
cd at the Alpena national bank to the
amount Of $4,000 but are included in the
above. The total indebtedness due to
Alpena firms is about $4,000. A. w.
Comstock went to Buffalo to look into
the matter and returned Monday. He
expressed his belief that the Messrs.
Holmes will be able to pay one hundred
cents on dollar. They owe about half
million and for assets have real estate
worth $500, 900, lumber worth 800, 900,
large casket factory, with some $50, 900
worth OF caskets on hand, and other as
sets. The Buffalo firm is an old es-
tablished one, and had the fullest con-
fldence Of the Alpena lumbermen. At
the worst the Alpena firms ought to re-
alizc from the assets 75 per cent. OF their
claims.

Barrel of Money.

The object Of such comedies rs Barrel
Of Money" Is to make people laugh and
enjoy themselves. Such is done by the
absurd situations and caricaturing OF hui
man life. II Is seldom that any of them
have plot worthy Of the name. The
principal features are what are termed
specialties, and sometimes play is writ
ten merely on purpose to allow the spe-
cialties OF certain actors or actresses to
be exhibited in a pleasing manner The
great object Is to create laughter, and II
Is not only a worthy one, but II II sue
ceeds In pleasing the fun loving American
people, 1t is great financial success.
Making the people forget for time the
heavy and oppressive cares Of life, caus-
ing them even for short time TO forget
the troubles that Cypress them, creating
merrimcnt In their souls, and tightening
the mind from the wcarysome cares of
life, Is worthy Of the highest praise, and
those theatrical people who succeed in so
doing merit success. 1t makes no differ
emo what q person laughs at, even II II
is at the most nonsensical and absurd Sit
uations that an actor Is capable of, 1t Ia

all right. The great thing to DO Guilt
waited is mirth and laughter.
"a Barrel Of Money" Is one Of the best
of such comedies. II Is not only full OF
laughter creating situations, but 1t has a
better plot than most OF similar plays.
The scenic effects were startling. The
mill scene with the engine in operation,
pulleys, belts moving, and steam coming
out Of the cylinder, was one Of the most
realistic stage scenes ever exhibited ut
the Opera House. When added to awell
written play and startling stage effects Is a
cast Of good theatrical people, who are
fully able TO interpret the humor OF the
comedy, then there is complete combin-
alton for giving first class evenings en-
tertainment.
While every part Of "A Barrel of Mon
ey' was capably represented, yet there
was one who proved she was an artist In
her profession. II was the character Of
Roxy" as represented by Grace Emmett.
She was the gem Of the evening. Her
acting, singing, and natural mirthfullness
made her great favorite here. Her part
was that of frolicsome girl of about
sixteen. She looked like such, talked
and acted like one, although off the stage
she presents the appearance Of person
of mature years. Her singing and char
acter representations were Of high rank.
Good acting was done by G. Harvey
as "Hy Hazlitt," and Danny Mann as the
landlord. The Opera House was full Of
people, every seat being taken, and every
one who patronized the comedy was we'll
pleased.
