United Kingdom. The exports from both
coasts for the week were heavy-4, ,222, ,O0c
bushels in wheat and fiour-said to be the
largest known for many years. This was
encouraging to holders, as at this rate our
surplus would be practically exhausted
before April and several months of scarcity
would follow. Armour delivered out from
100000 to 100000 bushels of wheat on De
cember contracts. but the market absorbed
ir all readily. Corn got no benefit from the
rise in wheat, except few minutes at the
start. The amount of business done in the
pit put altogether would not have made
busy day for one commission house and
this fact was the chief source of weakness.
quite good business will be transacted
in oats. The opening was rather nervous
under conflicting influences of the liberal
receipts and a good cash market. Shorts
took advantage of the situation and under
liberal offerings, the market declined but
rallied under a good demand which sprang
up later. Provisions were dull but firm.
The improvement at the opening was as
cribed to the light run of hogs. Packers
generally sold, but the market held up well
and closed at the top prices of the day.

suiteth best. How can one be ex-
pected to write soberly and guardedly
about a woman who, unless report be
a very fair liar, receives thousand
dollars night for turning herself,
for few minutes, into a pillar Of fire?
In such case as this enthusiasm Is
tepidity and hyperbole is moderation.

Of Brattleboro says.
La Loie" has just closed a season
Of twenty-four performances at Kos
ter & BiaPs, New York; her engage
ment there broke all records at that
popular amusement resort, and
crowds were turned away at each and
every performance. She introduced,
among other novelties, her latest Gre
alton. the famous fire dance, which
has literally set Europe ablaze. In
this dance she stands upon a large
square of glass which Is sunk ino the
stage; underneath are electric lights
Of great power, which 5tream through
this glass, and high above her are
placed other ligths Of equal power,
the ascending and descending rays
meeting and intermingling with an eff

dance she forms the figure of colos-

Hoey walked to the footlghts and gave a
negative nod to the conductor, who had
raised his baton again. Then he said loudly:
If Mr.. Tim Cronin is in the audience he
is wanted outside. His barn is on fire."
Albert Chevalier, the English impersonator
OF the costermonger, has captured New York
city. The New York Sun accounts for it all
as follows:
The prophets who thought that Albert Chew
alters songs and impersonations Of London
cockney life would not be appreciated in this
country did not reckon on the human element
in them. 1t is the force of that quality which
makes them comprehensive and even sympa-
thetic in New York, although the type they
del1neate is not one familiar to the audiences
that hear Mr.. Chevalier at Roster & Bial's
Many of the words that the English performer
sings are about unintelligible as if they
were in language radically different in
stead Of merely local variation of English
To the majority Of women, for instance who
hear him the language of his songs must be
well nigh incomprehensible. But even in a
foreign tongue the purpose Of Chevalier's per-
formance would be understood and appreci-
ated. He has taken a character out of life
and presents 1t with all the essence of its
truth and humanity still clinging to it. Life
OH the stage, whatever the class or condi-
tions or country from which 1t may be taken,
is certain to be understood anywhere so long

Charles Frohman has secured Henry E.
Dixey to star in sporting farce called "The
Thoroughbred, and his brother Daniel has
assumed the management of Richard Mans
field for the next season, and will edit his
curtain speeches with frmness and meat
ak. Mr.. Frohman says for publication and
not necessarily as a guaranty of good faith,
that he has contracted to pay Mr.. Mansfield
$780, 900 a season for three seasons for his
personal services.
Cnlcago is indignant over the refusal of
Duse, the great Italian actress, to appear in
that city unless the local management would
guarantee her financial success. In resent
ing what it regarded as a great indignity to
Chicago, the Tribune exclaims:
Mime. Duse will only invite opposition and
derision by placing Chicago in the same cate
CORY with seventh-rate towns, from which
guarantees are required by third-rate shows
on the opening Of their new opera houses
Besides, there is nothing to warrant the pro-
ceeding. Other foreign artists have visited
Chicago without limiting at advance subscrip-
tion sheets. Bernhard never dreamed of put
ting such an affront on American cities; the
elder Salvini took his chances with other
actors Paderewsh has never stipulated that
his house must be filled before he will ap-
pear; even Guilbert was willing to take pot
luck among strangers, and she had no cause
to rue it. In this particular, Nine. Duse is
unique. 1t is hoped she will always stand
alone and that the advance subscription sheet
idea will not spread; otherwise we may expect
to hear Of Eddie Foy demanding full-dressed
audiences and an idolatrous public to draw his
carriage to and from the theater.'
Paris also struggles with the high theater
hat and this is the way bright manager con-
quered his audience:
Just before the time for raising the curtain
one of the actresses Of the company elabor-
ately dressed, with an immense picture hat
and sleeves excessively "bouffantes," sailed
down the aisle and seated herself, taking care
to attract as much attention as possible in a
conspicuous place in the orchestra. Immedi-
ately behind her was seated one Of the actors.
He showed great annoyance, and finally
courteously requested the actress to remove

Dan SullyN yNhas returned to his first love,

pleased thereat. I"'The Corner Grocery" was
the most conspicuous money maker Mr..
Sully ever brought out and in the char
acter of Daddy Nolan he won the plaudits
OF the entire theater-going public and the
unstinted praise Of the critics. The por-
trayal is a character study. Mr.. Sully will
present thisd famous comedy at the Grand
all next week. beginning Sunday night,Apri
IL. He has surrounded himself by a very
good company. and mounted the piece in a
noteworthy manner.
John ]. Burke, IN his new play, "The
Doctor" will shortly be seen at the Grand.
Mr. Burke was for some time the leading
comedian with the Henderson American Ex-
travaganza company. In his new play he
is said to have an excellent opportunity.

Now that the Theatrical Protective union
has started the good work of offering prizes
for contests in rapid scene shifting at vari-
GUS theaters, says the New York Herald,
why doesn't some philanthropist come to the
front with a prize for the body Of stage
hands that can shove bad play clear off
the boards in the quickest possible time?
Surely the public would subscribe literally
to purse for such a purpose, and heaven
knows there is abundant material for the
scene shifters to begin work upon.
The perennial rumor that Miss Ada Rehan
is going to leave Augustin Daly's company
and star on her own hook has again been
punctured. Those who know say that Miss
Rehan has no more intention Of deserting
Mr.. Daly's family of players than Mrs. Mi
cawber had of parting from liege lord.
Very few persons in the audience at the
Academy of Music Wednesday night last knew
how near they came to not hearing the hnale
of "Goetterdaemmerung" And pack of dogs
was to blame for all the trouble, for there
was lots of it that night behind the scenes,
says the New York Herald.
Humanity is to be given at the Academy
this week, and in it a big pack OF hounds is
employed. The dogs were brought to the
building last Tuesday and given temporary
quarters under the stage. There they were
