~THE PLAY0

Charming Alma Kruger, and to mention the name of this young, but well and fa- vorably known actress is a sufficient guar antee for nothing short of dramatic treat, will be seen at OBrien's opera house to- night in the chief role of David Belasco's famous International play, "The Heart of Maryland" The theater-going public has heard so much of this production that the simple mention of it's coming is sufficient to excite lively anticipation. The scene is laid in Maryland during the most trying pe- riod of the civil war. While no actual fight ing icidents are shown to the audience, the vivid manner in which Belasco, the great est master of stage craft in this country. has handled the story, has caused the play to be described as a thrilling war drama. Such intense dramatic feeling is said to pervade every act, every scene, that it holds the attention as strongly as any play every put on the American stage. Tbc many striking scenes of the production fur nished material for numerous magazine ar ticles during it's long run in New York.
 The company includes besides Miss Kruger many efficient players.

The Telephone Girl

This season Louis Mann has added to his laurels another eccentric Dutch type in '"rhe Telephone Girl, piece in which he and Clara Lyman are tke new stars. All of Mann's caricature have travestied queenly-tongued Germans. He claims that he has taken his sketches from life. In- deed, report credits him with having boarded with the Queen Teuton on which his character in "The Telephone GirT' Is said to be the clever counterfeit. Adopted citizens from scattered sections of Germany break into English language differently one from another. Mann's types are each said to differ from one another just as radically MT. Mann and his girl will be at O'Brien's tomorrow night.

Jackson & Co.'S Stock Letter

By Private Wire to Jackso0 & Co.
 Birmingham, December 13.-There was no marked improvement at the opening of the stock market although prices were general 1y above yesterdays close. Atchison stocks opened wild, $500 preferred being traded in at 5O% to 51A, and COCO common at 1874. The sold-out bulls supported Sugar, not withstanding the fact that the bears att tempted to effect a movement against this stock. The bulls chief aim was to bring about a general decline with a speculative view of repurchasing the stocks sold on the current bulge. The weakness of Sugar ef- fected the whole list. as declines approxi- mating a point were numerous and the list generally fell below yesterdays closing. It is evident that the speculative ball has been set rolling and there is no saying where or when it will end, as the public is in the movement.

 Birmingham, December 13.-Trading was on narrow scale at the opening, the mar ket being steady with prices l to points lower. The uncovering of the limited in- vestment buying orders checked further losses after market had declined to 6 points after call on liberal selling for south ern and eastern accounts. The weak rela- tion displayed by January and March de- liveries to the rest of the list caused bears to take advantage and they hammered these two.
 Considerable recuperative energy develop ed later in the forenoon on reports of the advancing spot markets in the south, the appearance of the cold wave in the western portion of the belt, and the stronger mar kets for cloths In the east.

New Vorb Cotton Market.
 New York, December 13.-Liquldation of long cotton contracts was quite active to- day, following more bearish conditions. Liverpool accounts were unsatisfactory, the English future list showing barely steady, closing at lower prices, and the spot mar ket abroad showing subsiding interest on the part of the English spot buyers. The fact that the Liverpool market for futures opened higher and closed lower is regarded as evidence of inherent weakness in connec ton with the withdrawal of spot buyers. At the same time receipts in this country over run the expectations of conservative esti- mates and advices from southern spot mar kets indicated hesitation on the part or buyers under predictions of a full renewal of heavy receipts of cotton at the ports. At the weakest interval some good parties were buying cotton, considerable part or which was said to be for Wall street ac- count. The upward subsequent movement was assisted by reports of extremely cold weather headed for the cotton belt, and claims of returned firmness in southern spot markets. The market was also re- assured by favorable reports from the dry goods centers and from New England spin ming districts, based on claims of increased prosperity throughout the country at large, and a consequent depletion of present large stocks of cotton goods. The phases of the market in the afternoon were generally un- interesting, with the tone finally steady at a net decline of 6d9 points.
