The business Of the theatrical press
agents has been 8 a~nnoyingly overdone
in this csSy that the boomers are under
taboo in she newspaper Offices. and the
critics of several Of tbs greater journals
deny themselves absolutely to these WIS.,
itors. When it IS considered that, even
after the destruction by fire Of the Fifth
Avenue, we have ~thirty-fve dramatic
theatres in New York and the suburbs,
besides almost Is many more variety
shows, concert halls and other places Of
amusement. it is clear that the small
army of stalwart boomers would become
intoleulble if permitted. The conse-
quence is that most Of the local manag-
ers nave abandoned the practice of send,
ing solicitors to the newspaper offices,
but instead mail the particulars of their
plans and such other matter rs they wish
to have published.
This material Is treated differently by
the dramatic editors, according to the
U-stges OF tue various offices. The situa-
tiun is sometimes a puzzle to the press
agents of the travelling companies that
coaHe into town. the majority OF these
energetic gentlemen intermit their la
bors largely upon being informed that
thy are likely to do more harm than
cool, bat the minority do not take a va

New YORK, Feb. 5.-The trading
in stocks was dull today, but the market
showed a continuation OF its late strength,
especially in the forenoon. There was a
strong undertone displayed throughout
the,session. Northern Pacific was heavy
all the way out, the opinion being that
there had been a line marketed on the
strength of the general market. Union
Pacific, however, became strong in the
afternoon, and the upward movement was
accompanied by the statement that the re-
port for December would be better than
was generally expected. Pacific Mail re.
iected the disappointment of holders over
the prospect or slowness of the subsidy
bill by a decline of . per cent. The
market finally closed dull but steady at

The census bureau, with all the rest Of
its work, has been attempting to ascer-
tain the value of the carp which have
been introduced into American waters.
One man to whom a schedule was sub
mitted replied that the carp in his pond
had been worth 81 900 to him in the past
six months. His wife had been sick and
he had fed her exclusively upon carp, to
which diet he attributed her recovery.
She was worth 81 900 at least, and
therefore he estimated his gain on his in
vestment at that sum.-Bostou Tran
