Sag Harbor' began the career of Ham
merstein's new Theatre Republic. in New
YORK, this season, and stood for three
solid months as the attraction there, with
the subsequent record OF 100 nights in
Boston and Chicago. 1t is another idyl
OF the sea, and the humble folk who live
their lives on the brink OF the great
waters. The love story is said to be par
ticuarly romantic and engaging, and con-
Germs the almost tragic loving OF one wo-
man by two young seafarers who are
brothers. 1t is a sweet, simple story Of
plain folk, rugged in their humanity and
so contrasted as to bring forth in large
measure what Mr.. Herne calls the uncon-
scious humor of life.
Mr.. Herne's supporting company is an
admirable one, and includes Forrest Rob-
inson, Marion Abbott. William K. Hodge.
Mrs. Sol Smith, Frank Monroe, Julia

are not nearly so heavy as they were in
the break of a month ago, say.
The news CT the day was good for the
most part. Earnings statements all show
ed in reases, and in some cases handsome
ones. The st. Paul earnings for the sec
ond week of February were 1888, 422, an in
crease of $72,76S. The Norfolk and West

an increase of S31, O9l London was

The banks have gained in cash this week.
Although nothing definite regarding the
steel deal or the various railway deals
was forthcoming from official sources the
impression was general that the steel deal
is virtually closed and may be announced
at any time. There was an intimation in
the street that Secretary Gage is likely
to withdraw from his decision to tax Rus
sian sugar and although this can hardly
be regarded as bull argument on sugar
stock ii is undoubtedly reassuring to Wall
Street, as dire hints OF a tariff war with
all Europe were afloat on Tuesday.
Western Union is persistent in its
strength despite the fact that its advance
was sharp Immediately before the break
began and an equally sharp reaction might
have been expected. This fact lends color
to the rumors that there are to be de-
velopments in the company in the near
future that will help the stock.
The Erie securities are spoken of as
likely to recover well from the break. a
dividend on the first preferred stock is
probable.
The Southern securities hold their own
we'll. Ii is said in good quarters that the
5 per cent dividend rate will be establish
