Grand Opera House.

Captain Swift was the play last night at the Grand opera house, and the members of the Alma Chester com pany again distinguished themselves as competent artists fully able to cope with such an intense play dealing with the emotions of the heart as does this wonderful play. There was an exquis- ite polish of action that can only be compared with the very best companies on the road. The secrets of boundless humanity were revealed in a fashion that showed the most painstaking di- rectorship and personal supervision on the part of MT Bloom and his stage di- rector, MT. Daly. If art is the beautiful way of doing things then the Alma Chester company is a supremely artis- tic company. The company as q whole is excellent.

Given in Excellent Style by Marshall
 Darrach Last Evening

Given in Excellent Style by Marshall Darrach Last Evening.
 Marshall Darrach, of New York, opened the New Haven Public Lecture Course last evening" MT. Darrach gave a recital of far more than ordinary merit in College street hall. taking for his subject the comedy "'The Twelfth Night" one of Shakespeare's great pro- auctions. The hall was thronged with those interested in and anxious to hear the recitation by one of the most pro- ficient entertainers of the day. MT. Darrach handled the piece in a very ca. pablo and satisfactory manner His style could hardly have been improved upon and he held the close attention of his audience. The comedy was DOT trayed in a pleasing style, and all the parts of the production were rendered with a careful attention to detail. The audience was thoroughly appreciative of the work of the artist and were most cordial in the expression Of their ap- preciation. The work of Mir. Darrach last evening warrants the prediction that his reappearance in this city next week Wednesday evening will be greet ed by one of the largest audiences ever in attendance at ar evenings enter of the Yale University and the New Haven University Extension Center.
 Next Wednesday, evening Mir. Dar- rach will recite the tragedy Romeo and Juliet"

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET

Features of Prince & Whitely's Letter.
 New York, Oct. 15.-Considering the declines in the London market, where evidently they were somewhat disap- pointed by the delay in the final coal strike settlement, our market opened with better undertone and prices ex- hibted greater strength than under the circumstances was generally expected It may we'll be assured that the strike will be ended; operators, strikers and the public so want it, and the moral effect will prove statutory to all branch es of business. Besides the coal pues- tion, the presence of the Secretary of the Treasury in this city leads on to the hope that purchases of large block of government bonds will be made, and by this means bring about more ease to the money stringency. In our opinion the money situation is still the prime factor in the stock market and if anything is done to relieve that present prices may be maintained and through increased confidence meritori- ous properties may go higher For the time being the desire Oh the part of the public to become interested is not great and although the early prices held their own during the day the market was very dull.
 As to cotton the daily reported in- dications of frost do not damage the plant. We expect to bup cotton cheap CT.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Further Progress Toward a Higher
 Level of Prices.

Further Progress Toward a Higher
 Level of Prices.
 New York, Oct. 15-Further progress was made toward d higher level of prices in the stock market today. The feeling was prev aent that the coal strike would reach an early amicable end, and that measures are to be taken by Secretary Shaw that will shortly relieve the present stringency of the money market. This action was said to be in the nature of further large govern ment bond purchases, various interests be- ing credited with holding large amounts which would be sortly turned in. The sum named ranged from $10,O00,000 to $30,000,- GOO, and the report was vigorously circulat- ed throughout the street. Whether there was any foundation or not in the rumor, the money market reflected greater ease than in some time, call loans opening at 9 per cent, the highest, and then shading gradually to per cent.
 Considerable attention was given to the report that there would be certain modifca tiOnS in the terms proposed by the coal Op- orators for a settlement of the strike, which would Insure less opposition from the min CTS in the points contested. Reading show ed considerable strength throughout the day. The dealings were smaller than usual in other stocks of this class. and there was a disposition to await actual developments. Recent speculative leaders among the gran gers, Pacifics and Southwestern stocks were bought freely, and the entire market show ed decided strength at one time or another. St. Paul, Louisville and Illinois Central were conspicuous in the days dealings and made exceptional advances of two points. Prices elsewhere averaged point pretty generally, with quite an active demand in a number of Specialties.
 The Gould stocks as group received the most consistent support, the heavy buying of Missouri Pacific having sustaining ef- feet on the lower priced stocks. Some dis appointment was felt over the heavineSs of dealers turned sellers the early market showed some weakness. Realizing sales, however, by the local traders were soon overcome by the appearance of large orders for the transcontinental stocks, and the movement throughout the day was mainly upward, although momentartly checked at times by profit taking.
 Sterling excangeN NrateS made further de- cline today, and Ah6re was talk of early imports of gold. In the late session stock trading was virtually stagnant at times, es- pecially when the market was under pres sure from realizing sales, and there were q number of important reactions which were not checked by final upturn in St. Paul to the best. The closing was dull and easy.
 The bond market was dull to-day, but dis played firm tone. Total sales, par value, $2,4T5. 000

II. 3. segur Falls Victim to Dread Dis
ease-His Recovery Expected.
It will shock the friends of that
gentleman to learn that H. B. Segur,
general agent of the Burlington, is at
his home suffering from a stroke of
.apoplectic paralysis with which he
was stricken yesterday while at Cody.
He was engaged in assisting some
men to load wool and becoming inn
patient at the awkwardness of the
gang lifting a bale of unusual weight
sought to assist them and in doing so
strained himself to such an extent
that it is believed he ruptured n Of
the smaller blood vessels in the side
of the head. His entire left side has
been rendered helpless, both the up
per and lower limbs being affected, as
we'll as the eye.
Mr.. Segur arrived home this morn
ing and a physician was called. The
doctor made an examination and gave
it as his opinion that the affliction of
Nh. Segur will prove only temporary,
although he thinks sometime will be
required before he will recover. The
most lasting effects will be those of
the eye.
