SUNDAYS ATTRACTION.

Clarence Bennett, who is starring in
the title role of "A Royal Slave" is a
rare combination of dramatic qualities.
He combines melo-dramaticp power with
a high order of poetic and romantic
finish. Mr.. Benefits early schooling
Ia Edwin Booths company stands him
Ia good stead now, and largely accounts
for those graceful master touches and
that height Of art, which is to conceal
art. This is the badge Of great
actor.

TIE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Rallies But Again weakens
After Heavy Realizing.

CHICAGO, June 4.-The wheat market.
after opening lower on disappointing
cables, rallied on covering by July
shorts. After heavy realizing there was
weakness on favorable crop news. Prices
broke IA from high point. and the mar
ket closed heavy, July 4 and September
IL lower. Liverpool reported their mar
ket as depressed. with excessive supply
and poor demand. Continental markets
were also lower. Cash demand was
rather quiet. and the seaboard reported
only triiiing business done there for
export.
Corn-The corn market. after opening
lower. owing TO favorable weather and
larger country acceptances. rallied on
covering by shorts and in sympathy
with the early strength in wheat. on
the advance there was very heavy real
izing. and later in the day prices broke
sharply. and the close was weak. July
and September az lower than last night.
Foreign markets weak. Cash demand
quiet. In fact. there was hardly any
demand. Outside markets. especially in
the Southwest, were ali weak and lower.
Oats-There was fair trade in oats.
and the market during the early part Of
the session ruled firm, but later eased
of in sympathy with the closing weak
ness in wheat and corn. Country offer
ings were light; cash demand was good
Weather generally favorable. The mar
ket closed iknh lower than last night.
Provisions opened weak for pork and
lard. but strong for ribs on the showing
Of stocks in store. The market had

nent grain operator. and declined slow

LOCAL AND GENERAL MARKETS
THE COTTON MARKET.
Bad Break in Present. Crop With De-
cline On the Next.

NEW YORK. June S.-Cotton broke
badly again today on this crop, and
showed a rather severe decline on the
next. owing mainly to the Gove-nmen;
report giving the condition at ISL per
cent, against SIS last year, So in
1890, S5.i in 1899, 50 in 1893, $50 in 1897

in 1893. $50 in 1892. S5.7 in 1871. and
SIS in 1890. Liverpool. too. broke 20
American points.
The weekly weather report was favor
able; Wall Street interests sold pretty
freely; New Orleans sold 4 good deal.
and there was more or less selling by
spot interests as well as the South and
West. There was general liquida;io
as well as not little selling for shor.
account, and the question is whether
this short selling is not being ever
done.
AT any rate. some think it is time for
a rally, and il is pointed out that in 1896
there was drop in the condition be
tween May and October OF no less than
about 81 per cent. The bureau reports
the acreage practically the same as last
year, being only .o3 OF one per cent less
than then.

Movement in Cigar Business.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The transac-
iions on the stock exchange today were
the smallest in the last eighteen
months. Even the professional element
was indisposed TO make new ventures,
for the reason that none of the import
ant interests nor the speculative pools
in various stocks manifested any desire
TO pursue an aggressive policy.
The interests that have been booming
Canadian Pacific permitted the specula-
ton in that stock to shrink from $1,000
shares yesterday TO 1000 shares today
The fluctuations in it were narrow, and
the reduced volume of trading resulted
in a fractional net decline. The market
was saved from absolute stagnation by
moderate revival of interest in sugar
refining. in the local traction stocks I'M
der the lead OF Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
and in Continental Tobacco preferred.

The last named was unusually active
and strong. 1t advanced TO 1861. and

There are indications that something OF
Importance is taking place in the to-
bacco industry in addition to the ac-
QUESTION OF practically all OF the Cuban
cigar business by the Consolidated To-
bacco Company. for the per cent bonds
OF that company were dealt in more ex-
tensively than for a long time past at
an advance to 675s. In the outside mar
ket. Havana Commercial preferred

ii in many months.
In the carly dealings Sugar Refining
declined nearly points. apparently be-
cause OF speculative selling caused by
advices from Washington foreshadowing
the improbability OF the passage OF the
Cuban reciprocity measure at the pres
eut session OF Congress. The stock re-
covered later. and closed only X point

Interest in fractions.
No reason was advanced for the re-
vival OF interest in the local traction
stocks. which resulted in net advances
