points on the near months and to points
on the distant positions. Early cables
from the Liverpool market reported re-
Spouse of points to our rally yesterday
afternoon, but subsequent advices receiv-
ed during the call were less favorable and
cvaused the smaller gain in the late
months. Realizing by small holders and
selling by Liverpool representatives were
responsible for reaction to last nights
figures shortly after the call. Later liqui-
dation set in, following evidences of weak
ness abroad, and prices tumbled to a net
decline of to points. By II o'clock the
decline had been recovered with the mar

Our market opened about sc higher, sold
off Nc and advanced and became steady,
selling up to &c, back to 96]2c and again
to 971sc, closing at $3.50. Clearances were
large compared with the past few days,
being $50, 900 bushels. The news was bear
ish and bullish. Exports also were report
tive character that Letter had made big
contracts for moving his wheat, all of
which helped to advance the price. The
fact, however, remains that stocks Of -four
are large everywhere. and that the only
apparent place for the wheat product is
abroad. We are simply going right along
from day to day, having the finest scalp
ing market that was ever known. We
feel on this rally that wheat should be
sold. When it breaks, buy it. The bulls
are in position to fight and they will nat
urally do their hardest fighting on the
break, but If Providence does not help
them out we have probably seen our high
prices for wheat, for while at least.
Corn ruled strong. Boston was buying.
Receipts of hogs were fairly liberal, Of
ferings were light early in provisions and
the market advanced from $10.57h to
s10.75, became heavy under realizing sales,
selling back to $1,000, and closing at
s10.62. We shall not be surprised to see
higher prices for the product but a re-
action would naturally be in order.

of acting. AS virginius Warde is at
his best, and in that role has no peer
on the American stage. The ambition
and study of Warde are demonstrated
by the fact that Warde in the part is
much better than in his last visit to
Butte, and seldom has Butte audience
been so stirred with emotion as in the
last two acts of ''Virginius." 1t Is to
be regretted greatly that Mr.. Wardes
support is far below the requirements
of the play. While Mr.. Warde surely
improves with every visit to Butte his
support just as surely deteriorates.
Most of it detracts from the presenta
ton. and at times is almost ridiculous.
No matter how great a star may be he
is far greater if his support is ade-
quate. But then IL the people expect
talented support they must learn TO
patroniZe farce comedies less and the
legitimate drama more.

filled all that could be desired of the
part. At the close of the fifth act. Mr..
Warde was called before the curtain,
and after bowling i'm acknowledgment
several times he finally came forward
and responded to continued applause by
a neat speech as follows
Ladies and gentlemen--I can assure
you that we all feel very much compli-
mented at such hearty greeting, and
when we contemplate the fact that we
bring you no new play. that we solve
no new problem, that We advance no
new theory, we are particularly graft
fed. We simply tell you the old story
of fathers love. / see from the feel
ings you manifest. see from the tears
in your eyes that, in spite of the diff
ferent class of plays which now crowd
the stage, you will never Gust the ster-
ling old plays of the past.
Ladies and gentlemen. in behalf of
myself and all those who are associated
with me, / thank you most heartily for
your presence here tonight and for the
appreciation which you express"
This evening "Virginius'' will be re-
peated Ingomar" Will be presented
tomorrow afternoon and evening.
