our market in sympathy opened to
points higher on near months and ]
point on late, became easier subsequent
". owing to lack of support, declining
5 points on old crop months and / to
points on new, closing at a net loss OF
about one point on the day. The
amount brought into sight during tlfe
week was $4,000 against $4,000 last yeal

marketed from September list, to date
has been 9,S46, 900 an increase of 17S,0OC
over last year and 1,043,0O0 over year be-
fore last Therefore the movement or
it's face compared to last year points
to a crop of 0,561 900, and if compared
with year before last it indicates a cror
of 10, 479, 900. The total stock of American
ashore and afloat, to Liverpool is $4,000
against 100000 last year and 502, 900 year

Opera House Leased.

At meeting of the Young Mems
C. I. A. b. Corps yesterday the PROPOSE
tion OF Uly S. Hill, of Shellington, Pa,
to lease the auditorium Of the Grand
opera house building was accepted.
Two weeks ago the corps received prop
ositions from Mr. Hill and owen Fowler,
OF town, in which both offered 5000 a
year for the opera house. Yesterday s
proposition from Mr.. Hill increased the
sum offered to $700 per year and the
proposition was accepted by the corps.
Mr.. Hill is well-known theatrical
man and promises to give the town the
best shows that can be obtained He
has already secured three other houses
In the state.
The new lessee has appointed Silas
Woodring, OF Freeland as resident
manager, and the latter will practically
have full charge of tho house. Inas-
much as Mr.. Woodring has had con
siderable experience in theatrical mat
tors, he will prove valuable assistan nj
to Mr.. Hill.
The lease of the building by the Free.
land Opera House Company will expire
on July 81 next, and on August 1 Mr.
Hill will take charge Of the auditorium
and the Young Mems Corps will assume
control Of the meeting rooms.

The school directors of the county
will meet in convention at Wilkesbarre
tomorrow to elect county superinten-
dent Of schools to serve for the next
three years. 1t is not believed that the
present superintendent, Prof. Frank P.
Hopper will have any opposition. The
school districts in the county having
their own superintendents will not par
ticipate In the election, among these
districts being Hazleton, Halle town
ship, Nanticoke, Newport township and
Wilkesbarre. Conventions for the cleo
tlon Of uperintendents will be held to-
morrow in every county in the state,
and in the above-named districts in this
county.
uperlntendent Hopper, whose term
will expire within the next few days,
has made a capable official and the fact
that he will reelected without oppo.
siton is splendid testimony to his abil.
ity as an instructor and his popularity
among the teachers and directors of the
county. 1t is customary to give super
intendents who measure up to expecta'
tiohs at least two terms.

DRIFTON.

The fine battery work of Bonner and
Boyle won game for Drifton yesterday
from a club which was thought to be
the strongest in the region. 1t was the
Crescents' first game and their admirers
counted upon walkover, but the un-
certainty of base ball was again de-
monstrated by the result, which was l3
to ? in favor Of Drifton. The local
players put up an excellent fielding
game and in batting were but one hit
behind their opponents who had seven
to their credit. Drfton gave its battery
fine support at critical times and deserv-
ed to win for the earnest manner in
which they went into the game.
