the Colonel showed by Edison's latest
moving machine a variety OF scenes
giving the dark and light sides, which,
of course, drew just the men and boys

Then, after this daring exhibition, he
gave a dramatic address, and referred
to his own experience and showed the
folly and crime of the prodigal's course,
aud closed with moving pictures illus

throughout, followed by perfect quiet
and some tears, after which hundreds

k
 NEW ORLEANS. May 23-From opening of the session here today 1t was evident that traders were undecided as to what course to pursue. Early transsetions were characterized by buying orders Influenced by expectations of very bullish weekly statistics. These expecta- tons were in measure duly realized, but the effect appeared to have been largely dis counted and some realizing on purchases forced setback in prices that subsequently developed into an easiness on a runior that Mfr. Price had published a report on the new crop estimating the increase in acreage at 3h per cent. On the whole however the mar ket was inclined to be quiet. Closing quota tions are iQ5 points higher on this crop and i62 points lower on the next. Tn the spot situation there was a quiet and steady tone, there being an absence of eager inquiry, counterbalanced by no pressure to effect sales. The great uncertainty connected with trans actions In Summer deliveries. causes opera tors to handle them with exceeding care. but the new crop months are growing into favor on the selling side a result of the hne con- dition reported by the Government and the be- lief that trade conditions will be less satis- factory in the season. There is plenty of time for varied developments to occur. however, that might effect a change from such views.
