SPECULATION RATHER WEAK.
Internationals the Chief Sufferers
in the Decline.


New York, March 6.-Speculation at
the stock exchange during the first hour
was quiet and the course OF prices rather
irregular The irregularity was in sym
pathy with lower quotations from Lon
don. There was no special pressure to
sey Central, which was heavy on the
decrease in net earnings for the month
OF January. The stock fell / 3-S, to
90 IS but the decline had no influence
on the other anthracites, which ruled
steady.
Among the internationals Louisville and
Nashville was noticeabiy weak and drop
ped to Al rs. In the industrials Sugar
was sold down to lie on Washington ru-
mors OF uDfavorable tariff legislation. Chi
cago Gas lost about a point, while Gen.
eral Electric held steady. Rock Island and
Omaha scored the greatest losses among
the grangers, falling 1 Is to 81 3-8
and 81 ga respectively. Near IL o'clock
the market became more active, with the
traders most conspicuous as sellers. AT
IL O'Clock speculation was weak in tone.
Operators at the stock exchange evinced
a disposition to cover up short contracts
during the last hour of business, and prices
recovered 1-6 to 1 Is per cent from the
lowest of the morning, Omaha leading.
The. dealings lacked animation, however,
and shortly before the close prices reacted
fractionally all around. The market left
off about steady in tone.

CLEVER STAGE DECEPTIONS

(From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.)
The Damrosch company carries a stage
manager who is also an artist of note. His
name is Gerhardt Stehmann Herr Steh-
mann was formerly st Louis newspaper
reporter. He has an assistant, George
Enger. who, with Thomas Rough, the COM
pany's stage carpenter. sees TO the setting
OF the stage. From the auditorium this
work looks little short of marvellous, but
the illusion is dispeiied when one goes
. upon the stage and takes kick at a
bowlder which, from the audience view,
looks like it weighed tons.
If one kicks too hard he will punch
hole either in a gunny sack or piece OF
canvas. Stage rocks, like the real thing
are classified. They are of two principal
kinds-stuffed and set The former are
made OF gunny or canvas sacks, painted
leaden hue and stuffed with excelsior.
These were the rocks which lay at the root
of the big tree in the first act last night.
Just behind them the geological formation
suddenly changes, the powders taking the
''set'' form This is effected by daubings
made OIL canvas stretched on light wooden
frames with profile edges roughly out
lined
The first striking stage effect in Lohen-
grin is the smooth padding of the swan,
harnessed to a deiicately carved boat, across
an imaginary sea. The swan and the boat
are both clever stage contrivances. The
bird itself is a framework OF wire, stuffed
with the same material of which rocks
are made. The frame Is covered with
canvas, to which white feathers are sewed.
The whole is set on a wooden frame, which,
by clever mechanical arrangement, can
be lowered aid showed back so that the
bird can be slowed away under the boat.
They used to use a trap-door in getting
rid of the swan. but some ingenious stage
carpenter thought out the present plan,
which has proven more convenient. The
dellcately carved PROV and stern OF the
boat are made of papier mache, pressed In
plaster molds. The body of the boat is
canvas stretched over a wooden frame,
and two husky stage hands do the work
for which the excelsior-stuff ed
swan gets undeserved credit.
