"THE CHRIS7IAN.'

Miss Viola Allen appeared at the Hy-
perion theater last evening presenting
Hall Gaines play THE Christian
adapted from his novel of the same
name. The piece was one of the great
successes Of the New York season last
year, and the fame of the play has
spread throughout the land. 1t goes
without saying that the audience was
enormous and that the enthusiasm of
the assemblage knew no bounds. The
audience appeared to be enthraIled by
the skill of the actress and thrilled by
the play. Therefore it is wholly useless
to add that to one person at least the
piece seemed hopelessly bad and the
acting affected, insincere and the
facts of the occasion are these: The
house was crowded and Miss Allen was
repeatedly called before the curtain and
to the credit of the gallery be it re-
corded that not one speech about manly
honor or womanly virtue was permit
ted to pass by without suitable recog-
milton.
The piece will be given again tonight
and another large house is expected.
Miss Aliens support is good through
out. Robert Drouet, Edgar Davenport
and Harold Russell fill the roles former
w nlaved by e. j Morgan, John Mason
and John Lee Finney, and although no
one of them wholly replaces the former
actors they are all acceptable and eff

in line with such towns as Providence.
Worcester, Springfield, Hartford and
others in closing at o'clock on Monday
evenings in place of 8 o'clock, as at
present, is still being talked UP, and en-
deavors will likely be made during the
coming week to bring the matter to
head. The Charles Monson company
have signified their Willingness to close
if a majority Of the Others fall in line.
1t is also generally understood that both
the Edward Malley company and the
Gamble company are favora-
BILE to the scheme.
A proprietor speaking on the subject
the other day, said that there was no
reason why New Haven stores should
keep open on Monday evenings any
more than those of Hartford and
Springfield. If they would all agree to
close the matter would be accomplished.
He said there would not be any mate
rial difference in the amount of business
done at the end of a year. and If this
was so then there was really no reason
for keeping open Monday evenings The
customers would soon get EDUCATED to
the new idea and many of them would
be only too willing to shop at other
hours in order that the clerks and en-
ployes might benefit from the extra
night off.

Second Hand Dealer Fails to Comply
With the Law.
Detective Donnelly yesterday after
noon arrested Harris Ginsberg, second
hand clothing dealer, on the charges of
buying from minor and failing to keep
record of his second hand dealings
both offences under an act passed by
the last legislature. Ginsberg, it will
be remembered, was arrested on SINH
lar charges a. short time ago for buying
from boy named Evanchick who
stole the goods from students. Yester-
day Donnelly arrested a sixteen-year-
old boy named Max Solomon on the
charge of theft of SO from julius
Holmes of the Credit Supply company
ON December 5 last
The detective ascretained that just
before that date young Solomon pur-
chased from a student a suit of second
hand clothes agreeing to pay for them
by leaving newspapers for the student.
The boy took the suit and sold it to
Gnsberg, but did not deliver papers to
the student as he had agreed to. The
charge of buying second hand clothing
without a license was also placed
against Solomon.

THE STOCK MARKET
Trading In Stocks Yesterday on Small

New York, Jan. S.-The volume Of
trading in stocks to-day was on a small

taking on stocks. The constituencies of
the market to the influence of foreign
events was leading motive for the lack
of desire to trade Notwithstanding
the downward course of interest rates
in London and on the continent 1t Is
clear that there is need of more money
abroad. Foreign observers offer the
suggestion that the present ease of
money abroad is due to artificial causes
on governmental incentive. In England
1t is evident that the purpose of this
manoeuvre is to prepare the money
market for placing government loans at
an advantage. In Germany 1t Is de-
signed to strengthen coincidence and
help out the vast industrial enterprises
which have been undertaken there. In
any event, the effect is to draw gold
from New York under pressure and to
send American securities home to mark
ct. The arriving shipments of Ameri
can gold are the cause Of current ease
in London discounts. How long the
ease would endure in face Of a cessation
Of the shipments is doubtful. Meantime,
rates for money at interior points in
this country are rising sharply and it
is question how long New York could
look to that source to replenish ADRIAN
to London. Under these circumstances
there is little disposition in American
financial circles to hold up rices of Sc
curities merely to afford market for
foreign liquidation. To-days opening
prices were well down to or below the
London parity and so long as arbitrage
selling was in evidence they were al
lowed to remain there or nearly So
Later in the day there was a sharp re-
covery when the pressure Of the London
selling ceased. The recovery was part
ly due to London itself which bought
back few stocks on General Whites
report of repulse of the Beers at Lady
smith. While there was no effort to
bid up prices there was good absorption
at the recessions, some very heavy
blocks of prominent railroad stocks be-
ing taken. New Jersey Central was

dividend rate without any sale. Sugar,
Brooklyn Transit and some of the iron
stocks recovered sharply from early
weakness The demand late in the day
