The fact that Dan Daly, the comedian, who stands high in the popular esteem of nearly all theatergoers, is going to appear at the Hyperion on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May IA, 15 and 16, and at the Saturday matinee in new production is always an item of nRrtie- ular interest to theatergoers generally but additional interest is centered in the recent announcements which bears the news that he is to be the star of the new American farce entitled John Henry" in the fact that Mr. Daly is going to create g. character not only new to his style and repertoiry but one which is also a novelty and an acquisition to the present list of stage creations. The character of John Henry" eminates from the fertile pen and the ingenious ability of George V. Hobart, who under the 'nome-de-plume' of Hugh McHugh has written the John Henry books. They are four in number. and their titles are as follows: John Henry" Down the Line With John Henry" tits Up to You," and Back to the Woods" The play is a dramatization, practically speaking, of the material in MT. MT Hobarts four books. The most of the plot is taken from the last of the four in the series, Back to the Woods," but all the characters, most of the inci- dents and nearly all the brilliant say ings in the other three volumes are rep resented in the play. There is g. fifth book of the John Henry series in prepa- ration but it has not yet made Its ap- pearance. It will be entitled Out for the Coin" MT. Hobart undoubtedly struck an extremely popular vein when he hit upon the idea Of the character of John Henry An evidence of this is the fact that more than quarter of a million of these books have been sold. In the dramatization MT. Hobart has been aided by Edward E. Rose, the au- thor of number of successful stage productions. Mr. Hobart has had suc- cess in stage writings heretofore, being the author of "The New Yorkers," Dan Danly's musical comedy of last season; Hodge, Podge & Company" in which Peter Daily starred: Sally in Our AL ley" number of the musical comedies which were featured by the Sire broth CTS of the New York theater. He also collaborated with Henry D. Smith in writing "The Wild Rose" Seat sale Tuesday. Prices s1.5O. $1. 75c.

Immense success attends the reign of the jolliest old potentate of comic opera encountered in many a year, delicious "King Dodo," who comes to the Hyper ion Monday and Tuesday next week. The prosperity attending the run of "King Dodo'' at Daly's tf1eater, New York. the Stakeholder in Chicago. and in other cities is easily accounted for. however for from beginning to end, from the chief player to the most ob- scure member of the chorus, from the first tap of the conductors baton to the final note of the orchestra and, in fact, from every view point. the entertain ment provided by King Dodo'' is by all odds the most diverting and enjoyable of the present decade. The interpreta- tion of the title role by Raymond Hitch cock, the irresistibly funny comedian, is one of the most pronounced character hits of modern stage history. Cheridah Simpson, the Junoesque prima donna is Attinglv cast as Piola. the Lad Who Leads" Miss Simpson has not been been or heard to better advantage since her advent into lyric work.
 Flora zabelle, the sprightly and anil mated little Annette, has made an equally pronounced success of her work and captivating Margaret Mckinney blooms forth fetchingly as Angela. Gre ta Risley, the imposing contralto, sings the role of Queen Lili in a regal manner, Oliver Holdens Pedro. William Corliss' Professor Nudge, and Robert Lett's Dr. Fizz are all clever character delinea- tions.

DECLINE OF 9 TO 6 POINTS AT

NEW YORK. March 26.-The cotton market opened easy at a decline of 2a6 points ana after brief interval of hesitation rather than steadiness, during which the near months showed an improvement of about point ruled moderately active and generally easy. me old crop positions did present certain Cesree or stubborness to pressure and Just De- 1ore midday recovered 3 or points or the morning loss but this reactionary tendency soon gave way before continued liquidation ana snort selling, notwithstanding that the pull clique bought through its leader in an appa- rent attempt to support prices. The close was easy. net 1915 points lower. that being the lowest of the session. Total sales of futures estimated at 25o. 900 bales. The declining ten- oehcy was favored in the first instance by dis appointing cables, Liverpool reporting de- cine or 2q2h points at the time of the local opening, whereas on the close of the New York market yesterday her prices were due to come about unchanged In addition to this, the port receipts for the day were to be heavier than last years. turning out 2,Ol4 bales. against lo67l last year. and while the esti- mate Tor tomorrow's receipts at Houston was moderate, heavier movement was expected at both Galveston and New Orleans. There were also discouraging reports in reference to the New England strike situation, while the excellent weather reported throughout the south proved bearish argument on the later deliveries, which worked steadily downward rom the start. Exports which have recently been an encouraging feature, today dropped to 6ol2 bales and this was also source of weakness.

G. E. Pierce 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

lover Private Wire from Gilbert & Clay.1
 NEW ORLEANS March 26.-Liverpool fol- lowed the unfavorable course and recorded a decline of several points in spots and deliveries which cables attributed to freer offerings from the South though it Is not improbable that the severe decline in the value of consos. oc- cGsioned by the prospects of large South African loan. which is depreciating British banking assets, Is causing uncasiness in fnan- cial circles and the fear of stringent money exercises a restraining influence over the Eng fish as well American operators.
 Trading here was effected In moderate quan- tity for both accounts. though orders leaned more to the selling side under the Influence of easier spots and clearer weather South. There was no serious pressure In evidence and the tone held steady at the decline.
 The injection of the tight money prospects from the English quarter adds another phase to the situation. though. on the whole. one may set out with q discrimination to form a positive opinion, and after watching through the surrounding features find himself back at the starting point, still mixed and waiting for something new Co develop.
 On one side there Is the strong statistical po- sition and delayed planting preparations for the new crop, and on the other. unpromsing money rates. labor troubles amongst domestic mills and uncertainty regarding supplies re- maning in the interior to come forward
 One must be well informed on the outcome of these features to form a definite Idea of fu- ture prices.

lSpeclal to The AdVertSerJ
 NEW ORLEANS, March 26.-As Liverpool advices were disappointing. market opened 547 points loWep and subsequently, declined 596 additional near months and 6Q8 on late owing to the continuance of fair weather In the interior. the restricted demand and easlness of spots and freer receipts than pected. Fresh buying near the close caused steadiness making the net loss 9a 10 points on the day From present indications the amount to be brought into sight for the week points to about I23 900 as compared to l2l.- OoO last year. The weekly visible supply statement Is expected to again be very bulish, as the amount of cotton a1oat for the conti- nent Is larger than last year, and generally goes out of sight. In addition to this, the average amount of American taken out of sight weekly for the past seven weeks has been 2e2. coo this year. against 255, 900 last year The visible supply of American decreased this week last year 94,oo0 and the amount taken out of sight was 2l5.ooo. therefore if the same proportionate increase in the amount withdrawn from sight holds good the decrease of American visible supply this year may be considerably larger than last year. There Is, however, no rule by which variations in the visible can be worked and 1t rests entirely with the spinners as to what they take out of sight, which makes the result. The continuance of favorable weather may occasion a further re- cession on new crop months. but the strength of the statistical position deters selling of the old.

Virgin & Faunce's Cotton Letter.
 

NEW YORK. March 26.-Cotton futures in the local market opened barely steady in tone with first prices at a decline of 296 points. At this level the market held for A time and then pressure was brought to bear in concerted fashion. Consequently there some decline and longs becoming fearful lest liquidation should spread, sold out in scattered fashion. Bull sentiment disappeared and while the bears not aggressive. the list dwin- dled of appreciably, and on the lower ranges shorts covered along moderate lines. Full re- ceipts were indicated at the ports and this was disappointing feature. the weather map noted favorable conditions for the movement and in addition there were bearish arguments with reference to the extent of preparations for the next crop In important sections of the belt. The labor troubles In certain New Eng land districts were credited with assuming more serious aspect and naturally spot inter ests were more than ordinarily concerned in the demand from spinners for actual cotton. The general speculative trade was slack, the public offering comparatively little support. At its best. the market was narrow and small affair. The foreign advices today cut very little figure in direction or the other, but private advices to the effect that the English crowd was inclined to wait the lead of local interests. The so-called bull clique did very little though close observers were under the impression that this element still holds considerable long cotton and would make a fight against any lengthy decline in the market,

 By Private Wirel

NEW YORK. March 26.-The cotton mar ket weakened to the extent of 315 points at the opening and further weakened on Liverpool and local selling later There was an ab- sence of buyers and disposition to await fresh developments. The weather was again quite good in the South and of course was taken into consideration in shaping operations. Neverthe- less some rain was forecasted and this. too, was not lost sight of. Cables were not up to expectations and 1t looks If Manchester spin ners had their i'll of spots for the present time, at least. their takings have been very small recently. The main point is that weather con- ditions in the Southwest do not keep regular. There is rain one day and fair weather the next and this must interfere with the move ment and farm work, The clique shows no signs of receding and 1t is question what we shall witness in many contracts. The New York stock hangs around 50 900 bales. pretty stiffy and to create a 1t may require much smaller figures. Port receipts were esti- mated at 900, against 900 last year. Cables quiet but steady at 3Gl4 points net loss. Not much doing in yards at Manchester
 Buyers of yarns and cloths are far apart.
