cordon-shay Opera Go.

The audiences which will witness the performances of "El Travatore' and Faust" next Wednesday will be repre- ham. The Gordon Shay Opera company does not come with a questionable repu- tation. It has proven it's merit in more than one southern city.
 J. Saunders Gordon, the director and organizer of the company, is a young followed the lines and tried to avoid the rocks of the impresaries who have gone before. MT. Gordon, after the closest pos sible thought for his schemes and ground plans, came to the conclusion that the only way to appropriately and success fully form an opera company was only to submit to the acceptance of well trained and known voices. The result is company which will coInp pare favorably with any. In Miss Shay, Mir Gordon has a prima donna of high art; Madame Noldi Is but a few paces behind her; Alberti is an artist of fame; Dunsmure is almost his equal. and Fredericks. Elouise, Bishop, Wheatly and the other artists on the role of the company are high class. The chorus of the Gordon-Shay company consists of voices that have been ardu- ously tried, and they are half a score of chorus men and women from the Metro politan opera house in New York
 This organization will give two perform ances at the Jefferson theatre next We'd nesday At the matinee 'El Travatore" will be the bill and at night Faust will be sung.

Ne,m orieana Market.

New Orleans, October 17.-Cotton quiet; buyers evinced a willingness to take hold actively upon the basis of yester- days trading level, but factors instead of meeting the purchasing element half way showed a disposition to advance asking prices. Before the closing, how ever the market eased off and quota tions were reduced 1-16c Sales, 525O bales, including 25OO to arrive.
 Partly under the influence of light re- ceipts and partly because of moderate realizing movement inaugurated by over loaded shorts the market for contracts showed a slight disposition to harden during the forenoon hours today. This condition obtained at each of the three large markets Liverpool, though un- changed for spots, stood 2-10d higher for deliveries while New York recorded an early gain of points. Locally the open ing was close to yesterdays level, but immediately after the first call prices took an upward turn that carried them { to 5 points higher and that under the stimulus of very narrow trading. After fuctuating moderat ely with a slight downward tendency the market at the close stood to points net above yes terday's closing figures.

 SOLD YESTERDAY Cotton Market Opened Steady and Advanced Gradually CONDITIONS FAVORABLE Better Feeling Due to Unexpected Rise In Liverpool and Demand
 for Yarns at Fall
 River.
CONDITIONS FAVORABLE

New York, October 1.-The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices points higher to 1 point lower and following the call continued to work upward on increasing demand from shorts and mod crate investment buying. The better feel Ing was due for the most part to an unexpected rise Ill the Liverpool and to reports from Fall River that demand for yains and cloths was active at firm prices.
 Whereas the carly weather chart noted generally fair conditions over the entire belt. the forecast foreshadowed unset tied weather over extensive portions of the crop country with lower tempera- lures in western Texas. The receipts were free for the day but the estimates for the movement of tomorrow fell be- low the actual receipts On the same day year ago. The private Liverpool cables brought buying orders and the south, too' attempted to cover shorts here.
 The week end statistical statements. as made up by Superintendent King, Sec retary Hester and the Liverpool statisti- clan were of bearish import, but had been quite generally discounted. The market continued to advance until mid afternoon when light profit taklne by ear- ly buyers checked further improvement Tic close was steady. with prices net 8 tc points higher. Total sales were es- timated al 1750o0 bales.
 The reports from southern spot mar kets were Indicative of stability and food export demand. The crop estimates as q general thing ranged from 100000 to It, 25O,0OO bales.

Whether or not this explanation be accurate, rrices there advanced f3 for the day, spot clos Ing at G120 and futures at e11S 10s Lo- cally there was little business, but prices were higher in sympathy with I.cndon spot at 26. 500l26. 95. Copper also advanced in London, gaining lis 3d. which brought the elosine figures up to e53 for spot and G53 2s Cd for futures.

PhiIinpinc PonnInfinn

The estimated population of the Philip
pines is given at from 100000 to 10000 900
people. A census of the islands was taken
in 1887 by Spain, but it was far from per-
feet, and in fact was but little more than
a guess for the greater part of the terri
tory, as Spanish officials never penetrated
to the interior of several of the larger is
lands, and it is doubtful if they ever WIS.,
tied a large number of the smaller ones.
y sanitary census of Manila taken in May
last year under the supervision of United
States army officers showed total popula-
tion of 244.732, of which ISL 1861 were Fill
pinos, 5l,567 Chinese, S,532 Americans,
1882 Spaniards and 960 of other nationali-
ties. The American soldiers were not
enumerated in the total.
