DRY GOODS MARKETS.

New York. Oct. S.-Dry goods are quiet
in all lines again this week. Lack OF sea-
sonable weather has undoubtedly had
much 10 do with the current dulness, but
the ret.cencs OF buyers IS also attributed
in no small degree 10 the current belief
that the low price OF cotton gives manu-
facturers OF cotton goods an opportunity
to make money al current prices. and that
there Will be many opportunities TO pur-
chase before prices are advanced. Woolen
goods. on the other hand. are well sup
ported, and the utmost confidence is ev:nc-
ed by sellers as 20 the future OF the wooi-
en- goods trade. The demand for seasona-
BILE goods IS well sustained. In staple cot
tons the local frst-hand market is still
dull. Print cloths remain inactive at the
low price prevailing. 29sc.

MUSIC AND ORA MA.

A very nice audience, considering the
weather. turned out to hear Sharpley
Lyceum Theatre company in a Ken
lucky Thoroughbred at the Crawford
Grand last night The play is an excit-
ing one and was well played. The au-
dience was very enthusiastic in its ap-
plause. Mr. Sharpley as the southern
darkey and Aida Lawrence in the lead
role both did good work. The special
ties were also good and considerably
above the average. The music by the
excellent orchestra was fine, especially
IN the rendition OF their great descrfp-
tive piece, "A Trip to the Circus" AS
a rule descriptive pieces describe very
little, but in this case it is a success To-
night "A Girl From Texas" viii be the
bill.
W. S Hart made his initial appear
Rnce in this city rs a star az Woods last
evening. presenting The Man in the
Iron Mask" 10 a good-sized and fashion
able audience. To say the play ard COM
pany were a success is putting i. mildly,
curtain call after curtain call being
awarded Mr. Hart for his superb rendi-

Miss Constance Wilhams gave him ex-
eellent support as Marie D'Ostranges.
The Play is one OF the most dramatic
that has been seen in Bay City in many
a long day: dealing with the subject it
Hoes. one can see at a glance the i'm
mensa possibilities for the art of the
playwright. The adapter has certainly
lost none of the interest in the book.
From the rise Of the curtain on the first
act TO the fall on the last, the interest
never wavered, each climax stronger
than the proceeding one and each char
acter holding the attention OF the audi
ence 10 the word.
Mr.. Hart's work from his first en-
trance. as the light hearted. noble boy.
70 his last as the tortured Man in the
IRON Mask" was a series OF picures OF
strength and beauty, his we'll modulated
voice showing to full advantage. Mr..
Hart indeed made a hit in Bay City.
Among the company those worthy OF
rpecial mention We've Leslie Matthews,
Dwight Smith, jefferson Osbourne, Ina
