Mr.. Francis Wilson Is the attraction
at the Opera House Tonight, In Halt
q King" Some one recently summar-
ICED Halt a King"as a picture OF
eighteenth century splendor framed
with nineteenth century genius. Tho
.libretto Is 4 departure from the famii-
lar compositions used for some time by
performers like Mr.. Wilson. There Is
no strange island with an eccentric
king and fantastic -inhabltnnts.t nor Is
the scene laid In Persia, China, or ia
pan, where almost anything grotesque
may happen, and no one remark upon
It. The action occurs In Paris In the
eighteenth century. and the very high
handed liberty taken by the llbrettist
10 to transfer portion OF Victor Hugo's
romance OF "Notre Dame" to the latter
time. The theme OF Half a King is
not essential TO enjoying the spectacle
and the action. The nonsensical situa-
lions. which are built upon plot OF
considerable gravity. are amusing
points as Francis Wilson presents them,
but the chief attraction lies in the Won
derful and artistic arrangement OF light
and color in each OF the three acts, CIV
Ing full warrant to the opinion which
has been expressed. that the production
is really superior to anything Mr.. VIII
son has offered in many years

DOWNING TOMORROW.

$ OF Robert Downing. who will be the
attraction tomorrow at the Opera
House. matinee and night. the Toledo
News says: No actor of to-day so sue
scessfully indicates reserved power as
does Mr.. Downing. When aroused to
the climax of, action his propulsion is
superb and impressive, yet SO mellowed
that his Improvisation In the lighter
and softer shades are as pleasing and
effective as the climaxes. where stir

are required. Time improves the fer

promising actor, the only one we can
look to atapresent in this country to
perpetuate the heroic school.

 Birmingham, April 7.-Iiverpool market closed steady, prices unchanged from yes terday. Spot sales, LOCO; midding uplands, 7-16 There will be no further session of the Liverpool market until next Tuesday. The New York market today has ruled ex tremely dull and prices have been prac- tically at a standstill, August contracts opening at GOT, declining to 6.04 advancing to 6.05 The bulk of trading represents sales for foreign account. All eyes are now upon Washington congressional action in connection with the Cuban question and is anXiously awaited. In the meantime trade is disposed to preserve the policy of extreme conservatism. while the feeling today regarding satisfactory settlement looks more peaceful Certain amount or uneasiness continues to prevail. Foreign purchases during past few weeks have been an important factor in sustaining values. With the exception Of New Eng land mills the cotton industry the world over is apparently in good condition.

Cotton Letter

s New York, April 7.-The, cotton market was absolutely dead today. The volume of business was exceedingly small. Political news was fixed. The postponement of the presidents message until Monday and the adjournment of the senate until that day gives us three more days of uncertainty, during which operators are unwilling to trade. Liverpool was one half sixty fourth higher this morning. Our market opened unchanged. August opened at GOT, sagged to 6.O4 and closed at eos o 6.06, with the tone of the market very dull. The Liver pool market will be closed until Tuesday and dull times are expected here.

Paine, Murphy 6 Co.'S Stock Letter.
 Birmingham, April 1.-The complications that have controlled the market for weeks past was still the influence today. The opening was slight declines from yester- days cIosings but on cables purporting to be authentic and believeing in complete surrender of Cuba by Spain, the market ad- vanced from one-half to two points in the first hour, and then became narrow and dull, but firm. After l p. m amoassadors of Europe called on the president and ten dered their good offices in joint note, but it is understood that they were firmly told that the matter had gone too far for arbi- tration and things must proceed. This caused change of front about D. m., and the finaneiers under lead of sugar and metropolitan broke point, but dullness again followed To read the tape it would mean adjustment without war, to read the cablegrams and newspaper bulletins the re- verse would be looked for The senate ad- jolirncd until Monday, which relieves ten sion somewhat. All exchanges will be open tomorrow, Good Friday.

Chicago Change

 Chicago. April "A combination of fa- vorable crop reports weak cables and an absence of import trading, made very dull and weak market of wheat today. July closed at a decline of about 1 cent The closing of the foreig nexchanges until after the Easter holidays undoubtedly had some effect on the volume of trading done. Everything else on the floor was weak, partly through sympathy with wheat. Corn closed 1ac lower oats, hcqAc lower. and provisions 5c0D76c lower.

New York, April 1.-The Evening Post $ London financial cablegram:
 The stock markets here opened good to- day on the better aspect of the Spanish American question. While, in view of all the circumstances Americans were better. they were left alone and of course will not be traded in during the intervening 2 holidays until Tuesday morning. Spanish fours which closed last night at 471a. open ed today at 50A, and closed at about 4S12-s
 The rise in the Bank of England rate Is fully justified by the figures of the weekly return. Ordinarily the first bank return for the quarter shows a large run for cash from circulation,. but this tendency is checked for the moment by the Easter hoIi- day demands for cash. The return in the weakest for some years
 Trade returns for March show increa sed imports of 2,750,000, nearly all due to- in- creased supplies of food stuffs, largely from the United States. Exports decreased s00,- 900 pounds.

Paine Murphy t Co.'s Grain Letter

Birmingham April 7.-Wheat opened dull, with prices A to 1Ac lower than yesterdays 8 close. Trading was very limited; feeling bearish. The bull slique forced shorts to cover freely yesterday, consequently this element of strength was not apparent to- day. Under influence of continued liquida- ton prices gradually declined to about l cent under opening sales. Slight improve ment took place during closing hour firal sales showing prices on July 1 cent, dis tant months sic, under yesterdays close.
 Coarse grains lost f to %c. Provisions fractionally lower Receipts of hogs were liberal Demand moderate. The session to- day has been practically aturele ss, in fact a general duness prevails in all mar kets, which no doubt will continue for the balance of the week owing to foreign mar kets being closed in observance of Easter holidays.

New York, April 1.-The market for dry goods is unchanged. The pleasant weather has resulted in some slight gain in the de- mand, chiefly with the jobbers. but this is not in any sense a healthy improvement. Orders received are still for the smallest possible amounts in all lines of common goods. In print cloths there is very weak and a. very dull market.

New York Cotton Market.

New York; April 7-Extreme dullness prevailed throughout the day in the cotton market, with prices at no time showing g particular leaning one way or the other. The closing. of the Liverpool market at 1 p. m. today, or before opening, until next Tuesday morning and the conflicting character of the political news caused by bulls and bears together holding off, re- sulting in an extremely small business. Af- ter opening steady with prices one point lower to one point higher, the market sagged off under a few outside selling or der sb,ut later recovered this loss on buy ing for the account of local operators, who were disposed to even up accounts. Dur ing the greater part of the day the pit was deserted and few traders remained on the floor.
 Theclose was very dull at @ net decline of one to two points.
