A eRNrLEMAS OF FRANCE" :"

A very representative audience was present last evening at Polls theater to witness the production of "A Gentle man of France'' by Kyrle Bellew and g very large company. The audience did rot enthuse to any great extent over the production except n the sword fight on the stairs and the duel scene. The reason was that the actors who were participating in the drama must have lnag gined they were speak ing in a parlor. This was true of the star himself and the first act or period as it was designated on the program was a tumble to the spectators. The play was beautifully staged and ex- celIertfy costumed and the company nresents many beautiful stage pie 111res. but the whole performance WAS u1arred by this one fault that the ma 1oritv of the people taking part spoke 1ndfstinctly The ladies were much better than the gentlemen and partic- alarly so Miss Eleanor Robson in the character of Mile de la Wire She is uosseased of a beautiful face, sweet voice and her conception of her char acfer was more than pleasing and en- .fertaining- Miss Ada Dwyer as Fan e1etfe also accepted her opportunities 1e create favorable impression. The berforn1ance as whole is not to be compared to some others on about tue oanne lines that have been presented - this city,

NEW ORLEANS coTToN MARKET.

New Orleans, Aug THE improve
ment in Liverpool was reflected on the
spot cotton market on this side. Quo
tations unchanged.
In the market for futures there was
little outside interest manifested. and
room traders were not inclined to in
dulge their usual proclivity for scalp
ing, nor was there much show of ami
nation among the local bulls. Liver
pool assumed a strong attitude, NOV
ing up 1-32d on spot, and 2-64d to 5-64d
on deliveries, the greater advance
standing on the near months. Reli-
able cables from the other side report
the Manchester spinners bare of, stocks
and predict an improvement during the
next few weeks despite a general be-
lief on the part of the British trade in
large output from the growing crop.
The market opened with August
to 9 points higher while the other po-
sltions moved up to points I'm
mediately after the first call there was
a reaction, carrying August down 5
points and other months 2 to 4 points,
but subsequent recovery sent August
up again to the extent of points,
and the other positions regalning to
points. This was followed by Sc
ries of slight fluctuations until the
close, when the board showed net gains
on the day of IL points on August,
on September and 4 to 8 points on the
winter months.

New Orleans, Aug. Liverpool adj

ket, in sympathy, opened higher on
August and 2Q4 points on the other
months, subsequently, however, selling
to realize occasioned a break of 4@6
points on near months and 2@S on late.
Near the close shorts covering again
caused an advance of 4@8 points, MAX
ing the net gain II points on August
and 4@6 points on the other months.
Gables from Liverpool claim that not
withstanding the very favorable crop
outlook, spinners are bare of stocks,
and that higher market is looked for
during the next two weeks. Weather
conditions continue propitious for the
development of the plant and judging
from present indications the market
ing of new cotton from Texas will be
on a large scale in a few days. The
liquidation of August may hold values
temporarily, but the movement, the de-
mand for spots and daily weather con-
ditlons, viii regulate the future course
of values.

New York, Aug. IAN advance of
2 to 8 points early was the feature
There was continued leaning to the
long side, but people entertaining
favorable opinion of the market were
as indisposed to buy as were the bears
to sell. Liverpool simply followed New
York and no relief is expected from
there unless spinners should grow ner-
vous over crop prospects, which, al
though now regarded as fine, may I'LL
timately prove poor. We shall likely
: experience something of a waiting
market with a range not exceeding 10
to Is points, and crop guessers may
be expected to jump from one side to
the other in very short order, accord
ing to the character of daily weather
news. On the whole, there is enough
in the character and number of poor
crop accounts coming to cause refiec-
ton and check aggressive action un-
til near the close of the month. The
weather was satisfactory. with some
moisture in Texas, Georgia, Alabama
and the Carolinas. Shorts were COW
ering and reports of boil weevil raw
ages in Texas came in via New Or
leans. Houston received big pile Of
new cotton. Port receipts estimated
1000, against 3,177 last year.

nouncement by the protective commit
tee of minority stockholders that they
had secured an offer of higher price
for the outstanding minority stock

with Rock Island. Other controlled
stocks, which seemed to be affected
in sympathy with Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and st. Louis, the Kanawha
and Michigan and the New York, Chi
cago and st. Louis stocks. The Hook
ing Valley stocks and Louisville and
Nashville moved upwards with almost
equal violence, but with no specific
development to explain the movement
The rise in Illinois Central had in it's
favor excellent reports of gross earn
ings for July and net earnings for
June. There were large dealings in
various Southern and Southwestern
stocks, but the resulting price move
ment was irregular Missouri Pacific
was under considerable pressure, de-
Ginning at one time 1% while Texas
and Pacific, on the other hand, con-
tinued to advance. The large buy
ing of Southern Railway was without
much effect on the price. The weak
ness of Manhattan was attributed to
strike by engineers and motormen.
The rise in Pennsylvania and its sub
sidiary coal carriers was apparently in
sympathy with the Hooking Valley
movement. National Lead was report
ed in demand from some large finan-
cial interests. There was not much in
the general situation upon which to
base a rise in prices, since the news
showed little change in conditions,
which continued favorable to values
The sub-treasury is absorbing a con-
siderable sum from the money market,
but the premium on New York ex-
change at Chicago indicates that the
tide of currency is still flowing this
way.
Foreign exchange is firm, but the
very strong return made to-day by the
Bank of France reflects the accumu-
lation- of resources at that capital and
the unlikelihood of further pressure
from there for gold or for repayment
of loans. London showed encoura ge-
ment over the evidences of the i'm
proved condition of the King of Eng
land, and bought some stocks. The
buoyancy of a few stocks continued to

Reports regarding the new crop are
most encouraging. In the Carolinas
and Georgia there is former acreage;
experiences thus far propitious, and
barring the untoward during harvest
good yield is expected. In the South
west, greater things than ever before
are promised. Louisiana acreage does
not vary materially from that of sew
eral past years. In Texas, however
the culture is making phenomenal
last season, and with continuance of
full harvest will result.

The tendency of the cotton futures
markets was decidedly upward, and it
begins now to look like prices will close
,,n hard against the end of the month.
Much talk of an August squeeze, and
from the chaos it has already caused
among shorts something must be in
the rumor. There is at least enough
in it to scare shorts, for they scamper-
ed about eagerly, to prepare for the
worst.
Great strength was impaired to the
late market by the demand from
shorts, carrying New York up 6 to 10
points, with the closing firm at the
top. New Orleans closed IL points up
on August, on September, and to S
points on winter months There, too,
talk was heard about developments in
August, and as a result prices rose at
a rapid rate during the late hours.
The turpentine market closed firm at
