Judging from what we have heard
of the coming attraction at the OPP

should say that we shall be treated TO
novel and clever performance Ev-
eryone knows what ragtime music is
and what a fad it has become-well,
here comes a ragtime farce, a ragtime
comedy-there surely is novelty enough
in that idea TO satisfy all lovers of
first-class farce comedy, and in addi-
ton the management promises us sew
eral comedians of the first rank, a
bevy OF beautiful and graceful girls.

tunes of the highest order. 1t will be

BY ]. r. l.. Darlington & Co.

New York, March 16.--Tho market after
a fairly strong opening hung in the AIR
for the first two hours Of business. About
IL o'clock Sugar began an advance WhlCh
carried prices of the stock 80 points above
opening and started a covering through
out the entire list which carried prices
up from large fractions to very large
units in the advance. Such a market rs
todaY's has not been seen in the street In
wears. The cornering of shorts through
out the whole list discloscS the fact that
stocks in the majority of cases are 50
closely held that the floating supply was
comparatively limited and that with any
ease at all in money, II is very simple
operation to advance almost anything
without regard to prices or position in
the market. The days fluctuations are
bound to have n bad effect temporarily at
least. Where speculation runs so wildly
rampant as it has today, the conservative
trader ia almost sure to withdraw from
active speculation and we do not advise
any heavy dealings until the market has
settled down to more normal condition
The whole list Is exceptionally strong and
possibly may be carried higher on the
sentimental movement. but it is no pur-
chase now, however, and We strongly ad-
wise our friends from buying until there
has been some slight setback at least
The removing Of a short interest is al
ways a weak element i'm a market and
withdraws just so much sustaining power
For that reason we are inclined to think
that at the moment the market is not
one which should be traded in heavily
At the same time it is quite evident that
no great decline need he feared and that
the money to be made Is on buying the
specialties on all weak spots The tre-
mendous fluctuations have brought no
financial troubles to any Of the well
known houses which speaks volumes for
the financial position Of the street at
large. Market closed somewhat irregular
but very strong.
