'L'Aiglon' at the Providence Opera
House Monday night for an engagement
OF six nights and Saturday matinee. The
play In which she is To appear Is one of
Edmond Rostand's poetical masterpieces

work. "Cyrano de Bergerac."
Miss Adams has just completed a won

knickerbocker Theatre. New York. She
played there Tor seventy-fiye perform

made by Henry Irving at advanced prices.
The most remarkable thing about her
triumph is that the biggest business OF
her ten weeks engagement In New York
began when strong opposition was offered
10 the American actress by the foreign
version OF the Rostand drama with a
worldfamous artist In the title role.
From the first night OF that opposition

Murphy & Co... Cottan Letter.

New York, Sept. 25.-Prices in the
early cotton market showed no change,
and the volume of business was light.
Similar conditions prevailed in the for
eign markets. Weather news monopo-
lized attention. The temperature this
morning in the cotton belt was quite
moderate, and sufficiently so to help
the crop where help is possible. On
the other hand, the trade are bearing
in mind that frost will soon be due. A
low temperature prevailed in Kansas
this morning, and anything like cold
weather on the outskirts of the cotton
belt produces scare at this season. The
South appeared as a seller during the
morning. caused prices to weaken 4@5
points. European buying arrested the
decline. The port receipts were $4,000
bales, against $4,000 last year. The gov
eminent forecast was for cooler
weather in the Southwest. Liverpool
was unchanged. The statistical situa-
ton presents no interesting features,
and ON the whole there is much to en-
courage friends of cotton at the pres
ent time. The price for middling is
about 215c below last year, the corre-
spending date. The receipts have been
this far for the new crop but $4,000
bales, against 5000 New York stocks
are 10000 bales less than last year.
Liverpool stocks of American are but
slightly ahead of last year, and mills
are carrying but small supplies. East
ern and Southern mills, in many in
stances, have allowed stocks to run
down to a small point. Exports of
yarns and cloths from the United
kingdom have been showing marked
decrease, all of which should help the
price of cotton.
