"The Purple Lady came to Richmond
as an unknown quality, save that as put
forth by the advance man and the critics
that had seen the farce elsewhere. These
critics had nothing but good TO say OF
the piece, and what they said was true,
as two weil-pleased Richmond audiences

The farce is a good one, ey.n thoI2n

FINANCIAL and TRADE.

Western New York and Pennsylvania
again made the market. In the first two
hours more than $4,000 shares changed
hands at one price 3 and that figure
was bid for 80, 900 shares more. Later
there we're transactions at So Those who
bous Int to sell to the Pennsylvania Rail-
load Company at 8 will make just J
share and wait until June 15 for the
cash. However, little profit is better
than none. Very few of the incomes
came out. They ranged around 29a. As
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will take them in at 30 another chance Of
''slaring' a small profit is presented.
The general mortgage bonds, which pay
3 per cent until 1901 and 4 per cent.
thereafter, doomed to about 9l4 Before
noon S3jS 900 changed hands. Monday
they we're So. The average last year was
about 10, The advance represents the in
vestnts' appreciation of the value of
Pennsylvania Railroad backing. The
bonds run until 1913. The first mort
gage 81 advanced . points to l20. These
are new.high records.
The activity and advance in Western
New York and Pennsylvania ought to
have a good effect upon the general list.
The price offered by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company lels everyone out at a
profit. Only once in many years has the
stock commanded as much as % in the
market, and that was in April, 1899.
Last year the average price was about 81;
| in 1898 it was about 81, and in '97 and '96
it was not above %. So everyone gets
out profit. Holders get cash and they
have a low market in which to reinvest.
Fear of gold exports aroused by an
| othor rico in aychanpe rates restricted
specuatinn and made narrow market,
in New York, albeit a fairly strong one
until the last hour, when quotations
slipped off on bear raiding. Views on
the gold question are mixed. Most
authorities, however, agree that there
will be no outflow this week. Next week
some is almost certain to go. A heavy
demand for all classes of sterling bills
has been observable since Sunday, and
rates at today's opening were advanced
from to cent on the pound sterling.
Bills were in, scant supply.
1t was reported that heavy grain ship
ments from Chicago were impending,
which would create large supply oi
bills after May 1. A foreign banking
house admitted that the demand foi
sterling had reached point where the
only question of profitable shipment
, rested upon whether or not interest
: would be allowed in transit. Whether
gold shall 90 out this week or next is
, however, a matter Of very little moment
An well.informed bankers understand
ghat we shall have to shipgold to Europ'
and that very soon. This is the norma
, cold season. Fortunately, we have
, good supply to meet the coming de
nand.
