THIS WEEK At BROAD-STREET.
An Attractive Bill To BE Presented
mt This Vaudeville Park,

There is always a smile of satisfaction
upon the faces Of the crowd that leaves
the vaudevilles at Broad-Street Park
every night, and the search for any other
sign of pleasure with which to prove
that the risibles Of the audience had been
stirred by the performance would be
almost fruitless.
The steady hum of the clock-worlc like
system that surrounds the progress Of
everything at the park makes the public
feel confident that they are being catered
to by the management and amused by
people who have a professional expert
ence that makes them fully adapted 10
further their object OF pleasing the pub

The work of tearing out the sides Of
the Auditorium building is being hurried
to completion, and it is hoped by Mana
ger Leath that the work will be COM
pleted by tomorrow night. This i'm
provement will make the interior of the
building considerably cooler.
The star of the bill this week is John
T. 1ierney, one Of those bright and COM
ical Irish comedians who has the happy
faculty of never leaving the stage with
out making his audience remember with
happy thoughts his twenty minutes talk.
Dolly Laferria comes with a batch Of
the latest songs from Paris, and Will
sing them ir her own artful style. She

and Beard who stay over from last
week, will make musical comedy in their
new one-act sketch.

 The stock Market


 New York, Dec 30.-Stocks rose con- tinuously to-day with none of the cus- tomary reactions, and left off strong at fractional gains in the standard rail- way shares and at very material gains in various specialties. The London market opened higher on purchases partly for American account. There was also genuine buying for foreign ac- count due to the dlsinclination of Lon don operators to await possible January boom and American railroads closed at about the best. The initial rise locally was not quite up to the London figures but trading was active and very broad. Commission house buying overcame re- alizing sales Industrials were particu- larly strong, and Rock Island led the grangers upward. Public terest in- creased as the day wore on and prices were gradually lifted. There were sen- sational advances suecessively in New York Air Brake, Long Island Railway, Delaware and Lackawanna, Great Northern pref, Pullman, Des Moines and Fort Dodge and American Steel and Wire pref. They all maintained the greater part, if not all of their ad- vances except New York Air Brake. which after a rise of points reacted 101A and ended unchanged for the day. Sugar, Federal Steel, Reading and Jer- sey Central surged upward although Sugar and Jersey Central subsequently eased off. Bay State Gas showed heav- mess and lost about point the rumor- ed deal of yesterday being denied The belief that next year would witness more harmonious arrangement in the anthracite trade was largely responsi- ble for the rise in Reading and other hard coal carrying roads Contin- ued favorable railroad trade re- ports and prospective easy money stim- ulated the buying, closing the year of stock exchange trading in a whirl of activity and strength, with many se- curities at the highest prices of the year.
 The bond market shook off its late hesitency and coursed upwards with particularly large purchases of Reading As which touched Se. Total sales s5,- 455, ,OOO

POLO.
New Haven Team Loses a Hard Game
 to New Britain

 New Haven Team Loses Hard Game
 to New Britain.
 The New Haven polo team lost one of the hardest games they have played this season to the New Britain team last night by the score of z to 1. New Haven had their new rusher, Whipple on hand, but they were without the aid of Leydon, who is sick. His absence greatly weakened the quintette in their team plays The principal features of the game might be summed up by giv- ing the credit of New Britain's victory to Burgess, who defended his cage in a really wonderful manner. In fact, he was little short of stone wall in front of the netting. On the other hand, La- tions played a very weak game in front of New Haven's cage. In the second and third periods he picked up and de- tended his cage as Lations only can when in proper form.
 Bone played a star game during the whole evening, making many brilliant runs and sending in, time and time again, some very swift and accurate drives, which but for the splendid de- fense of Burgess would have run up 8 big score in themselves. Whipple, who made his initial appearance, also did some very fast work and sent ill num- Der of hard drives but they were all brought up before they could reach the netting. The Whiting brothers played strong defense, which was equalled by Doherty and Jeans on the other side. It was only by the barest chance that New Haven escaped shut-out. This was what Burgess was working for, and when Whipple landed the ball in his cage his face was a picture to behold. It turned from red to white and from white to red.
 New Britain's polo team as composed and as it is now playing ought to give a good account of itself before long. Their defense could hardly be excelled, and in Russell and MacGivray the team has a pair of capable rushers.
 The score of last nights game was as follows:

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
ENCOURAGING FE1TURES WHICH
 C1LL FOR YOTiBLE MENTION.

AarSc shipments or &Oous on Oruers,
 Liberal Cereal Exports and Heavy
 Dealings in Speculative Markets
 Among Them.
 New York, Dec. 30.-Bradstreet's to- morrow, December 31, will say: Holiday quiet in general demand, sustained ac- tivity In industrial lines, particularly iron and steel, exceptionally large shipments of goods on orders, liberal cereal exports and specially heavy deal ings in speculative markets, are feat ures calling for notable mention in the closing week of the year. Firmness in price is likewise an encouraging feature in most staples. Wheat, though show ing a reaction, is higher on the week on large export clearances and other cereals are in sympathy Pig iron de- mand grows, and prices for this prod uct and for steel rails, steel billets, plates and wire rods are all bigher on the week. while the volume of foreign demand for our finished metal products apparently lICI6dSSS as llle yeetL CletN to its conclusion.
 Reports received as to the years bus- mess in all sections of the country point to an unprecedented volunae of domestic and export trade, which is re- f1ected in bank clearings that break the high record of 1892. The general level of prices of staples and securities at the close of the year it at the highest point reached for five years past. Railroad earnings exceed all previous years, and was O smaller number and lower liabll- ities than reported in any year for at least five years past. These general suits in the country at large have been achieved, in spite also of unfavorable conditions in some industries, notably textile manufacturing, which with the lowest price for cotton on record, exer- cised an unfavorable influence. But the close of the year finds an improve ment even in those directions. and re- turns as to retail trade, are strlklngly good in all sections
 The export trade of the country TOT the year is the heaviest ever known, be" ing nearly double the imports. Our ex- port trade in manufactured goods is the heaviest ever known, and for the first time in our country's history exceeded the value of imports of similar goods.
