THEATRICAL NOTES.

SIDNEY R. ELLIS leaves for New York to
day to prepare for the opening of Charles A
Gardner at the Grand Opera House in that
city on August "a, in Mr.. Ellis new play,
Captain Karl"
Mr. DAVIS theater made good progress up
ward last week, and the solid stone entrance
on Sixth street begins to loom up porten-
tously. Unless some accident occurs the
theater will be ready in good time for the
coming season.
KATHRYN KIDDER, whom Manager Shedden
has engaged to support Joseph Hawor:h
next season, played in Pittsburg the last
time in Held by the Enemy" wherein s g
filled the leading female role, and has sint Q
that date won good deal of favor in Lon
don, where shc played in wilson Barrett's
company and incidentally appeared at
Marlborough House before the Princess OF
Wales.
IT is to Pittsburg's advantage that Manager
Henderson has scored an undeniable success
with his latest spectacle, ''Sinbad," at the
Chicago Opera HOuse-and there is no doubt
ing its success for Pittsburgers visiting Chi
cago last week report that 1T was extremely
difficult to get seats SO great was the rush in
spite of extreme heat-for it enables Mr..
Henderson to carry out his plans fully of
making the Duquesne Theater in every re-
spect hr5t-clasS.
THIS week Harris, Britton & Dean will have
the celebrated DRAMA 1.-THE Two Orphans"
as their attraction. The Standard Dramatic
Company won popular favor by their
superior production of "Danites" 9 couple
of weeks ago, and they will NO doubt renew
tion Of "The Two Orphans" this week. Mr.
Charles Hagar is cast as Pierre, Mr.. James
Cooper as Jacques, Miss Renard as Hensiette
and the others in the cast being thoroughly
competent, it is safe to say that highly sat
isfactory rendition Of the favorite drama
will result.

DEMORALIZED CEREALS.

Long Holders in Grain Lose All Courage,
and a Selling Craze Sets in, Feebly Inter-
rupted by a Few Small Reactions-Pro-
visions Very Quiet.
CHICAGo-Wheat was weak to-day, and,
| though there were occasional small reac-
| tions they were of brief duration and were
generally followed by recessions to lower
| figures than before. The published accounts
of destructive storms in the West led to a
little show of steadiness at the start, but the
signal service reported fair weather through
out the wheat beiU and numerous dispatches
| confii med this intelligence, reporting fine
! harvest weather and the resumption of
| operations in that line.
Cables, both public and private, quoted
the foreign markets dull and lower, with a
discouraging outlook 1t was said that there
was no demand, and that offers and solicita-
tions brought no bids. The weather in
France was reported hot and forcing The
fact was recognized that new wheat would
soon appear Oh the market in large Quanti-
ties. Corn was weak and declining and
brokers were loaded with selling orders
from outside points. Tho result was free
liquidation on July contracts. Holders who
had been hanging on in hopes of turn for
the better lost all courage and decided to
drop their burden. Short sellers were made
bolder than ever, and while the offerings
were thus increased, the demand was less
than usual and an intensely weak market
was the natural result.
July opened at 914@91'sc; broke without
any considerable reaction to S91$c: reacted
TO 9O3sc; broke again to S91sc; rallied again
and closed at 90Sc.
Corn was active but decidedly weak. The
fine growing weather, the Unexpectedly
heavy receipts and the demorilization
which prevailed in the other grain pits ex-
ercised most depressing influence. The
courage of the hitherto most Stalwart bulls
became exhausted, and there was an indis-
crimipate slaughter of long property. When
1t wasoffcred no one seemed to want it, and
there was an immediate decline. july
started at 5213c, sold at 5254c, but
it was only a few minutes be-
fore it was selling at 5I5sc Then
shorts began to buy in to secure profits, and
there was a reaction to 523sc. Later the sell
ing craze again broke out, induced partly by
the estimate for Monday, and July fell off to
5l1Sc reacted some and closed at 5l5Lc.
Oats shared in the general weakness in
other grain. July started at 33159333<c but
everybody seemed to have some 1or sale and
there was q steady drop to 32lIc, fiuctuated
some and closed at 32Kc.
Provisions were quiet. The opening was
firm at slight advances over yesterdays
close. There was q further small apprecia-
ton, then a reaction with gains, and the
close was at medium figures and without
change compared with yesterday.
The leading futures ranged as follows as
corrected by John NJ. Oakley & Co.. 45 Sixth
