Small But Appreciate Audiences Wit
 ness Two Performances.

"Finnegans Ball" a farce comedy, was played at the Montgomery Theatre yes terday at matinee and again last night. The matinee audience was large. The audience at night was small-very small: Saturday night is recognized as bad night for theatre business, but the nasty weather last night reduced the theatre audience to a mere handful of persons.
 The farce comedy was made popular by Murray and Mack. It was produced yesterday by Joe Kearney and James Ryan They are fairly good Irish come dians. but they suffer by comparison with their predecessors in the piece.

New York, July 25.-R. G.. Dun e Co.'S
weekly review Of rad tomorrow Will
say:
Each day brings the agricultural
products of the nation nearer maturity,
and as the possibility Of any injury be-
comes smaller, the feeling OF confidence
is fully sustained and rade grows
stronger. Storms destroyed much prop
erty in some sections and the prompt
restoration Of structures has added to
the activity of building trades. Railway
stocks rose to new high record quotations
and gold was exported, yet money ruled
easy. July oats succeeded corn as the
leading speculative cereal, but all dis
tant grain options tended lower as tho
outlook improved. The heavy distribu-
ton of merchandise is shown by railway
earnings thus far reported for July %
per cent. larger than last year and 20 per
cent in excess Of the corresponding
period of 1900.
"Insufficient fuel is the one serious
difficulty in the iron and steel industry,
Interruptions and delays from this
cause becoming more noticeable each day.
Supplies of coal are curtailcd by the
strike, although coke ovens are making
new records of productions.
aside from moderate buying for Red
Sea ports there has been little trade in
the export division of the cotton goods.
Domestic purchases are confined to i'm
mediate requirements as a rule, the finer
grades alone being ordered in advance.
Conservatism is still shown by sellers
also. No concessions being offered to
stimulate trade.
There was less activity in the spccu-
latIve markets for the leading cereals.
yet prices were fairly we'll maintained.
Cotton was irregular because improved
crop prospects acted in opposition to the
brIsk demand for consumption. Finally
the former influence prevailed and quo
tat1ons declined sharply. Failures for
the week numbered 208 in the United
states, against 1913 last wear"
