Some Reduction in Wages Recorded
Better Tone in Philadelphia-Tin

New York, Feb. 9.-Dun & Co.-For
the whole week the confident expec-
tation of the sale of bonds has kept
back the exports of gold. Withdraw
ais from the treasury amounted to 81
100000 but were mainly for domestic
purposes. No bond bill was passed or
is likely to pass congress and in two
months ending with February l. the
treasury actually lost S67, 200, 900 in
gold, Of which $4,000, 900 went into
circulation, and S26, SOO,O 900 besides the
product of mines went abroad.
To arrest this outgo is the problem
which another issue of bonds NAV
possibly solve. 1t hopes that negotia-
tons with foreign bankers may sec1re
some improvement, though it is clear
that sales of securities here will have
the same effect as if bonds were
placed in this country and they may
not be stopped by new transactions.
The conditions Of industries if not
definitely better, at least presents
some points of encouragement. No ad-
vance in the prices of manufactured
products indicates a better demand.
On the contrary, iron and steel pro-
ducts have slightly declined for the
week.
Some reductions of wages are re-
ported in bar iron and the demand
for rails does not increase. There is
a little better tone at Philadelphia and
sales of pig + quite heavy there,
while at Chicago things are brighter,
pig iron is in better demand, and fair
orders are coming for bar, but struct-
ural orders are delayed by severe
weather. Tin has been lifted a shade
and lead is steady, but copper is slow
and weak at SO cents for lake.
In cotton goods there has been a re-
duction in some brown sheetings,
while other qualities are moving at
fairly unchanged prices.
In woolens the openings of fine
grades for the heavyweight season
have brought some increase in bust
ness but not a! satisfactory prices,
while duplicate orders in light weights
are unusually large.
With theeXception of wheat being IL
ct. higher there was no improvement in
prices of farm products during the
week.
Failures in the United States during
the past week were 2S1 against 3S5
last year.
New York, Feb. 9.-Bradstreet-EX-
tremely low temperature, snow and
high winds visited a greater portion
of the country during the week and
had a marked influence by restricting
orders received by jObbers in all staple
Lines. But they tended to stimulate
the purchases of SeaSonable goods.
The New York stock market has been
waiting for the results of the currency
Legislation and the expected bond is
sue. The belief that an issue would
be announced stopped the bear;sh ma
nipulation of the market. The tone
was consequently firm without activ-
ity. Prices i'm the main, however,
show a favorable tendency.

Washington, Feb. Sin the senate
the diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bill was taken up and an
amendment authorizing the laying of
a cable to Hawaii was further dis
cussed. No conclusion was reached
and the item remains as a stumbling
block to the appropriation.
The cable project was we'll nigh lost
sisht of in the wide range of the
Hawaiian debate. 1t is expected. how
ever, from the tendencies shown by
speeches, that the item will be adopted
today. The republican speeches have
been favorable to the cable and it Is
expected the entire republican vote
will be given for the appropriation of
100000 to begin the work. Several
democrats, including Messrs. White,
Morgan and Blackburn, are favorable
to the cable plan, while Mr.. Palmer, of
Illinois, and other democratic sena-
tors oppose it as directly antagonistic
to the administration policy toward
Hawaii.

THE THEATERS LAST NIGHT

Joseph Murphy in "Shaun Rhue,"
was Hle attraction at the rockingham
last night. and he received mis- usual
fiattering reception before a Scranton
audience, both with reference to num-
bers and applause. His wit and humor
are as pleasing as when he first bowed
to a small audience i'm this city many
years ago. and his brogue was re-
freshing to the ears of everyone pres
ent, especially so to those who have
been compelled at hines recently to
listen to coarse amateur attempts in
this line. The Kerry Cow" will be
produced tonight. and since 1t is just
as popular as shaun Rhue," another
big crowd may be expected.
Miss Ethel Tucker and her company
delighted another audience at the
Academy of Music last night by a
clever production of the comedy drama,
"Queena." In the first act William r.
Healy introduced some pleasing spe-
cialties, and Horace Clarke rendered
several baritone selections. Miss Tuck
er and her company received a double
curtain call after the third act. This
afternoon there will be a matinee. at
which souvenirs will be distributed to
ladies and children, and tonight's per-
formance of "Retribution" will be wit
messed by the local fremen, who will,
by special permission of Chief Ferber,
march from the Crystal Engine house
In a body to the Academy. Tonight
will, therefore. be Firemen's night.

THE LEADER ENTERTAINS.
One Of Scrauton's Leading Dry Goods
Stores Kept Opcn.Ilouse Last Night-A
Chief Entertainments

The well appointed and thoroughly
stocked new dry goods department
store, The Leader, kept open house last
night for the benefit of Representatives
of the press; that is. the proprietors
Lie'beck e. CORN. invited the newspaper
men to inspect the new establishment
in all the richness of its present open
ing. and incidentally meet few friends
of the proprietors who had been in
vi.ed to share in what proved to be a
reVelatio
The FIRMS means of entertainment
consisted chiefly In showing their
friends through one of the most attrac-
tive store interiors in this section of the
state. This would probably have given
great pleasure to the guests on any
occasion, but last nights visit was es-
pecially enjoyable as the store is in
the halo of two-day opening, which
includes the display of all manner of
fine goods in such profusion and rich
ness that one ignorant of the business
wonders whence came all the money to
acquire such a stock, and where pur-
chasers will be found. But the pro-
prietors only smiled when the first
source of wonder was mentioned. and
in reference TO the latter point said
has more titan satisfied them; SO there
was no good reason offered for con-
cern on the part of the Onlookers.
The opendng began yesterday morn
ing and will continue during today,
when the public is invited to make
an inspection, and will not be impor
tuned to buy. The store Is in its best
attire-and that is saying much. The
show of millinery goods. cloakings,
silks, furs and dress goods will prob
ably attract the favorable notice of
the housewife, but these departments
are only mentioned incidentally. One
feature of The Leaders enterprise is
shown in the presence there. of Miss

THE MIDNIGHT FLOOD.
Attraction at Davis Thcatcr Last Three
DAYS OF Week,

"The Midnight Flood" is one of those
dramas which arouses the interest of
an audience at the outset and holds it
until the finish, yet so deftly is the
story woven that the spectator is sell
dom able to define the plot in advance
of the setting. In this respect 1t is
far ahead of the average drama of to-
day, and 1t Is this very fact. coupled
with the perfectly natural and yet
powerful situations which places it in
the ranks with such plays as Jim the
Penman."
The scenery Is carried complete for
this production, which comes to Davis
theater for three nights. commencing
Thursday, Oct. 3, with daily matinees.
