NEW YORK, March 10. Stocks. -
trading in stocks was largely conhned
to-day to operations by board room
operators, as has been the case during
the whole week. But there was some
small but significant buying from out
side sources, especially manifest in the
taking of fractional lots of stocks Tor
investment, which proved the attract
iveness of the present level OF prices
to those who are not dependent upon
ordinary money market vicissitudes for
holding stocks for the dividend re-
turns which they yield. The wide dis
tribution of the dealings also added TO
the healthy appearance of the market.
The character of the bank statement
was also confidently foreseen that It's
appearance was not awaited Tor the
closing up Of professional contracts.
The traders have been on the snort
side of the market quite uniformly dur
ing the week, SO that the closing up OF
contracts stiffened the market very
appreciably. Sugar and Peoples Gas
were notably in demand before the
bank statement, but were sold on again
together with the local traction stocks.
The obvious unwillingness OF prices 10
yield on the bank statement drove the
bears to cover again. Sugar advanced
an extreme 31s and Peoples Gas 2, and
the whole list rose to the highest level
of the morning with more show OF
animation in the dealings than has
been evident for several days. The
bank return was fully as weak as was
expected. The strength of the day S
market must be attributed to a faith
that speculative commitments being
small, the market is not very vulner-
able to temporary money squeeze.
Beyond a temporary stringency, the
new current and refunding law is con-
fidently looked to for speedy relief.
There Is an undercurrent of sentiment
also that some of the recent heavy loan
expansion would be readily convertible
or transferable, in case of any urgent
need Of credits, without doing damage
to present borrowers. This would be
true of such portion of the recent loan
expansion as has gone into government
bonds, with a view to taking out addi-
tional note circulation.
Railroad bonds have been in good
demand, part of the buying being at
tributed to pressure of funds realized
from the selling of government bonds
by investment holders to banks.

 Occasionally its plot and circumstances become melo-dramatic, but this is rare but even when it occurs one forgets the means because of the result. Many of the incl dents of the piece have never been sur passed for strength and purpose, power and pathos. The audience turns from interest to sympathy and finally to intense devotion upon the twist of the authors pen, or line from the players lips, until the locker on cannot help marveling at the wonderful sovereignty of all concerned in what s undoubtedly one of the greatest successes of the entire theatrical year.
 Fife Ellsler, as Celery Quayle," and J. H Colvllle as John Storm, share the stellar honors, while Frank Weston, Edward Emery, Carrie Lee Stoyle and Fauchor Campbell are much in evidence.
 Seats for this, the opening, performance of the Jefferson theater, will be placed on sale Monday morning at o'clock at the box office of O'Brien's opera house.

He has gone with the Packard Opera company and orchestra miles ahead of the artisuc enterprise of Deshon, Grau and othersu. who attempted to produce operas at popular prices. He has found that the best pays best, and his initial step of expending @ fortune in costumes royal ties on scores and so forth, has fully re- paid him. e
 The Packard company is accompanied by large orchestra of string and brass in- struments. Such an expensive feature as this is absolutely necessary to give careful productions of the operas of the repertoire The Charleston News and Courier after giv- ing the splendid cast of the Packard com pany a fiattering review speaks of the chorus and orchestra as follows:
 ''The chorus is fully equal to all remands, and is composed of good-looking young men and women, who sing well, appear and disappear gracefully and add not only to the musical, but dhe picturesque, effects.

THE ECONOMIC
 POSTAGE BILL
Business Men Taking Lively h.
 terest in the Measure.
WOULD BE OF GREAT BENEFIT
Under Proposed Law Coupon Postal Cards and Envelopes Would Be Paid Unless Used and
 Returned to Sender

Washington, March 1-(special.) .)-Busi-
 development of trade are taking a very
 lively interest in the progress of the bill
 now before the senate and house commit
 tees on postoffices and postroads to put
 into operation plan under which large
 per cent of millions of dollars will be
 saved which are now wasted annually in
 stamps, stamped envelopes and postal
 cards. thrown to the winds, as 1t were. As
 1t is now, those who solicit trade or in-
 formation through the mails by enclosing
 stamps, stamped envelopes or postal cards
 to correspondents say that only 10 per cent.
 are returned. The loss, therefore, is 90 per cent. This immense percentage of loss dis
 courages the use of mails for trade pur-
 poses and cuts down the governmental revenues.
 The plan under which it is proposed to
 avoid this waste and afford the business
 world the advantage of an enlarged use or
 the mails is embodied in what is known as
 the economic postage bill" which pro-
 vides for the employment of coupon en- velopes and postal cards. By the method described in the bill the sender of cards or envelopes in the solicitation of trade will pay the full rate as required by law, but | will not pay return postage unless the card | or envelope is actually returned. The | coupons serve in lieu of stamps and will be redeemed by the United States Economic | Postage association, which owns the | patents and which will manufacture and | sell the new style card and envelope.
 | The system has been five times favorably reported by congress committees, and has twice passed the senate. It would appear that the proposition has the endorsement of business men wherever they have been made acquainted with dts principles. The pending bill authorizes and directs the post | master general to give the plan a thorough | preliminary test before permitting dts adop- | ton as a general adjunct of the postal sys- | tenn, such test ito be at the expense of the | promoters. There is a strong feehng in congress in favor of giving the plan trial, | inasmuch as those who are behind the pro- | ject seem perfectly willing to take all the | chances without committing the govern | ment to it until it shall have proved in | every way satisfactory to the administra- | tive officials of the postoffice department.

AFFECTING MEXICAN MILLS
Short Supply of Cotton is Seriously
 Felt

City of Mexico, March 1.-The short sup ply of cotton is affecting some of the native mills seriously. El Correo Espanol, the or- gan of the resident Spaniards, attacks the United States for its "bad faith with regard to Cuba," asserting that Senator Frye has confessed that he and his fellow commis- sioners at Paris did not insist on acquiring sovereignty over Cuba for the United States, but in that case the United States would have had to assume the Cuban debt.
 ''In this light" says the Spanish organ, ''the so-called virtue of the commissioners turns out to be pure selfishness and their scruples the expedients of the dishonest debtor"
