Not often have the Scranton theatres
contained such immense crowds as
they did yesterday. Afternoon and
night performances were given at all
four Of tho city's theatres and the late
comers who had not provided them
selves with tickets in advance had to
be satisfied with standing room and If
they came particularly late were at
some Of the theatres denied admittance
for the reason that even standing room
could not be had.
The audiences were jovial, merry and
not too critical. Any actor who had
anything even possibly good to offer
was sure of a very hearty approval. The
attractions at all of the theatres were
of a nature that merited the success
that attended their presentation.

Empire Theatre Company Coming.
The action Of II. v. Esmond's bril-
liant comedy, 1.-THE Wilderness" which
will be presented by Charles Frohman's s
Empire theatre company at the Lyceum
next Wednesday evening, takes place
in very fashionable English society.
The stage appointments and every
other detail of the production are in
thorough consonance with this atmos-
phere of the play.
The gowns worn by the women are
exceedingly modish in character and in
thei: refinement, elegance and good
taste are among the handsomest ever
seen in any metropolitan production.
The sale of seats for the engagement
opens Monday at 9 a. IN.

"Our New Minister at Lyceum.

"Our New Minister at Lyceum.
"Our New Minister" which was seen
by delighted audiences at the Lyceum
yesterday afternoon and night, is play
Of character studies, very faithfully
drawn, and presented with q realism
truly startling at times. 1t was writ
ten by Denman Thompson and George
w. Ryer and the scene is laid in New
England, in the hard, close-fisted COM
lnunity OF Hardscrabble, where life and
religion are very serious matters in
deed.
The advent of - new minister of
liberal and progressive ideas, who cares
little for religious forms and everything
about the kind Of lives his parishioners
lead, causes q big social and religious
convulsion in the little community and
calls into action the characters of the
play. There is Darius Startle, q coun-
try detective, most admirably played by
Joseph Conyers; Obadiah Burton,
hard-hearted old skin-fint, who is un-
alterably opposed to what he calls,
1.-The new-fangled' religious ideas of
the young minister, and who was por-
trayed with wonderful vividness by
Louis Fierce. Other fine character bits
were contributed by Henry r. Scott as
Sylvanus Bartlett. a country store
keeper; John Barker, as Curt Holten,
who has the religion of humanity: John
p. Brawn, as "Skeezicks," with
wonderful line of modern slang, and
Mrs. George w. Barnum as Dorcas Tat
tleby, the gossip and general disturber
Of the village.
Charles Stedman did splendid work as
Lem Ransom, the reformed convict;
John Terris, as Thaddeus Strong, the
new minister, and Ethel Brooke Fergu-
son as Nance Ransom. The story of
the play is strong and interesting, and
the play is staged with great attention
to detail.

"san Toy" Tomorrow.

The Ausustin DAILY Musical company
comes TO the Lyceum next Saturday
matinee and night in san Toy" the
Chinese English musical comedy as It
Is called although it is quite preten-
tious enough in tunefulness To deserve
the name of comic opera.
"San Toy" is the work of five auth
ors. The book was written by Edward
Morton, the lyrics by Percy Green
bank and Adrian Ross and the music
by Sydney Jones and Lionel Monckton,
all loyal subjects OF King Edward.
The story is dainty one and while
not very complex it has been sufficient
for the authors to have strung togeth-
er a lot of amusing incidents and TO
permit the introduction of much
catchy music. The company is in most
respects the same as that seen here be-

"Wine, Women and Song"

A burlesque company of unusual
strength opened three days engage
ment at the Star yesterday afternoon.
1t is M. M. THESES Wine, Women
and Song" Company and one of the
best that has been seen here.
In the olio is great cycle act by
the three Armstrong; who do all of
the stunts of the usual trick riders and
several that have not heretofore been
seen here. Bonita and her dusky as
sistants sang q number of coon ditties
and We're rewarded by the most clam
orous demands for more. Mark Ben
nett and Albert L. Rich have q unique
singing act and Edward and Josie
Evans do juvenile comedy act that
found great favor with yesterdays
audiences. The Olio concluded with il
Illustrated songs by Miss Alice Cheslyn.
The performance opened with 1.-THE
Tuxedo Cadets" and concluded with
"A Glimpse of Stageland," light and
airy tritles in which are introduced
many of the popular songs of the day.
The company will be at the Star for
the remainder of the week, afternoons
and nights.

Andrew Mack-To-night.


The Lyceum will present as it's at
traction tonight a young star who
has gained enormous following among
the theatre-goers Of this city, his every
appearing being better, which speaks
very highly of the work of Andrew
Mack, the handsome young actor in
question, who is to appear in a new
play entitled, 1.-THE Bold Soger Boy"
conedy-drama with military sur
roundings which was written by Theo-
dore Burt Sayre expressly to fit the
peculiar capabilities of Mr.. Mack, who
has for the past seven or eight seasons
been representing straight Irish COM
edy and dramas. 1.-THE Bold Soger
Boy" will naturally come under the
heading of an Irish play, owing to the
fact that Mr.. Mack will be seen as an
Irishman, but here the resemblance
ceases.
The character as played by Mr.. Mack
will be that OF a young Lieutenant OF
the United States artillery, a young
Irishman who had enlisted as a pri-
vate. but whose bold deeds of bravery
upon the fields OF Cuba and the Phil
ippine Islands have caused his pro-
motion, which is very natural, as we
find lots of Irish with Irish Americans
whose duty has not been forgotten by
the Mother country, and who are in
line for further promotions.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Trading on the
Board of Trade today was rather quiet
and prices inclined to lower level, De-
cember wheat closing Is Ole lower, De
&c lower, while January provisions closed
from 5@71Ac to 15c lower.
Wheat was easy and local bulls disposed
of a large part Of their holdings. There
was a slight firmneSS early on wet
weather in the Northwest, with light Of
ferings here. Later heavy selling by
commission houses and locals caused a
sharp decline. Reports of large in
crease in stocks in the Northwest had a
depressing influence, as did also reports
from Argentina, which showed conditions
favorable December was relatively the
stronger option and opened 14c lower to
1sc higher at 721a @725sc to 72% @72Bc.
On the early bulge the price advanced to
73c, but declined again, going down to
121sc
Little Bit of Rally.
There was slight rally at the close
which was ss@1kc lower at 7214c. Clear
anceS of wheat and flour were equal to
3S4,000 bushels. Primary receipts were
1,335,345 bushels, against 1,061, S25 bushels
year ago MINNEAPOLIS liz 1es ana Rulu i4h re- re-
cal receipts of 81 cars of contract grade
made total receipts for the three points
of 1913 cars. against 874 last week and 1877
cars year ago.
Corn opened about unhanged from last
nights close and during the day the mar
ket was rather erratic. There was a
sharp advance toward the opening, due to
good buying by commission houses and
provision interests, especially in the De-
cember delivery, but general selling caus-
ed a reaction. Reports from the South
west of liberal receipts and good grading
gave the incentive to sellers.
Close Is Steady.
The latter part of the session was weak
with prices around the low point, but to-
ward the close slight rally occurred on
covering by shorts who took profits, and
the close was about steady. December
closed a shade lower at 515s @51Ac, after
selling between 511s @521hc. Local receipts
were 1913 cars, with thirty of contract
grade
Oats were dull and featureless, with
prices lower in sympathy with weakness
in other grains. The close was slightly
lower, December closing A@$sc lower at
31@31Bc. Local receipts were 21S cars.
Provisions opened easier on lower prices
of hogs and large receipts and weakness
prevailed the greater part Of the day, the
closing being quiet. January pork closed
15c lower at $15.621s; January lard, 7Kc
lower at $9.127a and ribs 5@7Ac lower
at $S.25.
The estimated receipts for tomorrow
are: Wheat, ITO cars; corn, $40 cars;
oats, 2oO cars. and $4,000 head of hogs.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

NEW YORK, Oct. 24-some relief was
shown today at the greater ease of call
money and foreign exchange rates., but
there was no demand for stocks and the
list was irregular and dull throughout.
For reasons that are not altogether clear,
the substantial financial interests continue
to hold aloof and even the pool manlpuIa-
tors remain inactive. 1t is true that con-
ditions such as prevailed during the week
are not unusual at the approach OF an
election, but traders and shrewd obser sers
generally say that this does not altogether
account for the absolute lack OF pubic
buying.
The rise in the price of coal and further
rumors of labor troubles in various parts
opments OF the day. The strong features
at the opening were Lackawanna, Reading
common and second preferred, Baltimore
SS Ohio and Toledo, st. Louis & Western
issues Operations in the last named
stocks were again believed to be largely
manipulative, and Baltimore & Ohio soon
lost its initial gain.
Firmness Here and There.
Firmness was shown in such issues as
Atchison, Union Pacific, ST. Paul, Mis-
souri, Pacific and Colorado Fuel & Iron.
The latter was stronger on reports of
buying by interests opposed to those in
control. An early sale of st. Joseph &
Grand Island second preferred was made
at decline of over per cent, and later
a further loss was recorded.
Liquidation in Baltimore & Ohio rights
that the option on the rights expired to-
day. Trading was very light all through
the morning session and fluctuations We're
narrow. Speculation was limited almost
entirely to the Specialties, the early move
ments in Colorado Fuel &, Iron and To-
ledo, st. Louis & Western issues being
continued. Colorado Fuel was the real
feature, transactions in that stock aggre--
eating more than one-fifth of the total
business, with net advance of Az points:
Favorable reports concerning the coal
stocks and the steel and iron issues were
heard, but they failed to induce any de-
mand.
Trading From Out OF Town.
The afternoon session brought no de-
ported came from out Of town. London
dealt in about $4,000 shares, of which
two-thirds were sales Virtually all the
buying for London was done by one firm
of brokers. In addition to Colorado Fuel,
strength was shown by LackaWanna,
ical, Cotton Oil, Tennessee Coal, ANAL
gamated Copper and Pullman. Call money
ruled at between 4@5 per cent, but before
the close of the day fell to 2 per cent,
the lowest figure reported in some time.
Demand sterling worked down to 81. Sc. 40
was on the selling side. The weekly
bank statement is expected to make a
very favorable showing, with a large in
crease of cash, due to recent bond pur-
chases under Secretary Shaw's offer. The
ub-treasury today transferred $250,000 to
Chicago and paid out 500, 900 for account
of gold deposited at San Francisco.
Railroad bonds were sluggish, but stead
Ter all around Total sales, par value,

unchanged on the last call.

MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis-It was another hating
and hesitating session in wheat with the
market undecided for a time and then
weakening a little in sympathy with Chi
cago, where there was decline of almost
a cent from opening prices. Locally
the business was moderate and the mar
ket had to stand a sprinkling of new
selling orders from the outside but there
was no lack of good support. Rainy
weather over a part of the Northwest was
a bull item, but about the only new one
of special Importance, and this was lost
in the later clearing weather. There was
little strength, however, from the predic-
ton of cloudy weather and possible show
ers for Iowa and the Dakotas. The bears
of 176 cars of flax in Duluth, which, while
a pretty heavy days run, was light by
comparison with the daily average Of $50
cars received there for some time. And
will probably come in place of it, which
argument applies to the movement of
coarse grains in general into either Du-
luth or Minneapolis. Yesterday the North
west showed up 5O6 cars. against SIS last
year. a gain of only 80 cars. Still the
bears took even this as favorable. when
coupled with the estimate of an increase
of $50, 900 bu this week in Minneapolis
stocks.
From abroad there was little of new in
terest. Liverpool was sd up at the close

The wheat crop he makes 4S5, 600 900 bu,

The bears are claiming that the Rus
slams will find so much more rye that
they will naturally consume wheat, and
will, for that reason, have more wheat to
export entirely aside from the increased
wheat surplus in itself
Primary receipts were 1885, 900 bu
against 1,061,000 bu last year, and ship
ments 301, 600 blu, against 900. Mime
