In his revival of THE Comedy of
Errors" Stuart Robson again has
shown that he is still foremost in
Shakespearian parts. Since the death
of Compton, the English player who
'ong ago was regarded as the most ex-
pert interpreter of classic comedy, Mr..
Robson has not even had a rival in
such parts as the Dromio of Syracuse,
Touchstone, Sir Andrew Aquecheech
and Bottom, the Weaver.
1t has been many years since Rob-
son has appeared in The Comedy of
Errors probably his most famous
shakespearian production, and his APP
pearance is of far more than usual in
terest. Mr.. Robson asp1res to place
the play on higher plane than it is
generally accorded in the public mind.
Too frequently is it referred to as a
farce, whereas it is a great comedy in
me truest sense as critics seeing Mr..
1tobson in the play freely admit. Mr..
Robson has done much already to
rescue the play from the field of farce
and daily is making further advances.
what the aged Mack1in did in the
rescue of Shylock from the buffoon-
cries of clown comedians, Mr.. Rob-
son has done for THE Comedy of Err

regarded as one of the dramatic
events of the season.
Mr.. Robson, is supported by Clifford
Leigh, who plays the Dromio( of Ephe-
sus, by Edwin Holt and Adolph Jack
son as the two Antipholuses, and by
Eleanor Barry and Frances Mayo as
Adriana and Luciano respectively. The

A military pedant stationed at Fort

pity that Mr.. Thomas hadn't paid the

his soldiers that he had evidently be-
slowed upon their uniforms and drill.
Mr.. Thomas promptly called his at

outbreak of the Spanish war; the only
cavalry regiment to be equipped with
the new small calibre arm before ar

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Sept. H-The cotton mar
ket opened strong at an advance of
4Ql5 points on the higher cables and
renewed apprehensions regarding the
Southern tornado. which was reported
to be working it's way over Florida
and portions of Alabama. In addition
to this the weather forecast called
for rather low temperatures over the
belt generally and for rains in the
central belt. The parties interested in
sustaining spot prices awaited them
selves of the bullish character of the
news to start an upward movement
and supported the near months Wig
orously att the opening, with Septem-
Der in the first few minutes reaching
a level about 80 points net higher. Oc-
tober also started out at an advance
of 10 points, but met with consider
able opposition from brokers supposed
to be representing prominent Philadel-
phian interests with the result that
it was some Z points below the open
ing figure, while September was sell
ing around 11.20c. Later, October rail-
lied with the rest of the list, but be-
fore midday the market came under
the influence of realizing sales and
sold off several points on the active
months. September, which had reach
ed 11.23c, sold back to 11.0Sc, while
October hung about $3.50. Around the
noon hour, however, the bulls again
came to the markets support and the
covering was recommended with mid
afternoon finding the prices at the
best level of the day, or net 10 to 80
points up on the active months. Just
before the close there was a slight re-
action under realizing, but the mar
ket was finally steady, net 1902 points
higher. Sales were estimated at $780,
900 bales. The advance of 16 points
in the Liverpool spot market caused
considerable comment and the strength
of the spot market there directed at
tention to the other by speculative
positions in the local market in con-
nectiOn with the outlok for new crop
supplies. The port receipts to-day
were 1881 bales, and over 1000 bales
were received at New York. The New
York stock running count is now no.
900 bales, against 107,200 bales on Sat
urday, and 41,648 bales last year.

Futures were firm at the opening,
prices being to Is points higher on the

features. Very general belief that the

New York Sept. 1.-THE weather
over Sunday was of 10 great import
ance, although some rain fell in the At
lantic states. The weather was very
cold in the extreme Northwest where
the mercury was below freezing point
and the Northwest section of the cot
ton-raising section of Texas the tenn
perature was down to 46. Receipts
were as expected, running very light
again and the drift of the mail advices
were very bullish as to the crop pros
poets. The general idea was that the
weekly report from Washington to-
morrow would be quite bullish and
some predicted that it would be the
worst of the year. The main points,
however, are that receipts are tagging
behind and that within a short time
there will be danger of frost in the
more northerly ATTITUDES. Prices open
ed TO % points up on very large trans
actions. Shorts covered on a big
scale, especially of the near months
and September sold 80 points higher
during the morning. Receipts at ports
$4,000, against $4,000 last year. Cables
were steady at to 16 net advance. In
terror receipts were again quite small
and nothing was heard as to the prob
abilities of any great increase in the
near future. Estimates for Tomorrow.

Ware & LeInnd,s Cotton Letter.


New York. Sept. 1.-THE market be-
gins to show how thorough was the
cleaning out on the smash. Very few
holders of cotton would be left in the
market on a break from 10S0c to 9.60c
Tor october. A great many new shorts
would be created, however, and those
who bought at the low prices would
not be inclined to sell as long as the
market keeps strong and shows more
signs of going up than down. While
October looks rather high at 10.10c,
as compared with 9.64c, it is far from
10.SOc. News was not good to-day and
the approaching storm brought in many
shorts. The market was active and
stronger than at an time since the
Bird of the month. Sentiment was more
against the short side than for a week.
Conservative traders bought last week
for a natural reaction. This was 80
or 40 points. We have had the 40 points
On bad news more have been brought
into the market and the covering has
been on a large scale. 1t looks as
though there would be more of it. Re-
ceipts are too small to enable prices
to go on declining indefinitely. 1t will
be many weeks before the holes will
be filled. 1t is more likely to be
months. AS long as the movement is
small we are not afraid Of the long
side on such a smash as we had. The
market is going to go in big swings
this fall. A cent a pound before it
stops, then sharp move in the other
direction. 1t does seem as though the
time had not come for short selling
again We would rather see prices
over 10 cents again before running
on that side. On breaks below 9Ac
for distant months we would pick up
cotton. We believe the prices will be
higher for some time to come. I'm
der present conditions cotton under 10
cents is not high.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept 1.-THE course Of
to-day's stock market was shaped by
a number of adverse factors, chief
among them being the reported dam
age by storms in the spring wheat re-
gions and a frost in the corn belt
Lower prices for international securi-
ties in London, where consols were
again depressed because of the polit-
ical situation in Eastern Europe, also
gave a set back to the list, which
opened generally lower, and few in
itial advances having no apparent
significance.
Missouri Pacific displayed the great
est weakness Of any stock at the out
set though a trifle heavier than Atch-
ison, Reading, st. Paul. Union Pacific
and Amalgamated Copper. Steel COM
mon again broke below 20 but came in
for fairly good support and recovered.
There was a story current during the
day that the second steel syndicate
which some time ago converted $780,
O00,0 900 Of preferred stock into $3.50, 000.-
900 Of per cent. bonds, would soon
make another demand for a consider
able sum upon the underwriters, but
this could not be confirmed. A reac-

COTTON,

Spot cotton closed firm, with sales by
factors of 1922 bales from their tables.
Trading locally was probably stimu-
lated some owing to backwardness in
the interior, due to rough weather and
reluctance about contracting for de-
liveries. Receipts were 6,59S bales,
against S,1SS last year.
In the f. 0. b. market fair trading was
in progress, though storm weather
had much to do with checking the bust
ness. From many important points re-
ports came that rough weather was
prevailing and that business was sus-
pended. One broker heard this from
Albany. From another point another
broker received requests to arrange for
later shipment than had been previous
ly contracted for, owing to the weather
conditions and impossibility to start
the cotton at the expected time. The
current quotation for basis good mid
ding was lie.

quotations at the close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange to-day.

NAVAL STORES.

- Monday, Sept. IA.
SPIRITS-The turpentine market is
showing further strength, and it's
friends now believe prices are again
on the road to an advance. Exporters
appear to be III the market for sup
plies, and if they take them with the
some promptness they did to-day the
impression is they will succeed in car
rying the price upward. The opening
at the Board of Trade was firm at Soc,
with sales of 80 casks, and the clos
ing firm at 5514c, with sales of 100
casks. The receipts were 1888 casks,
and the exports, IS casks.
Throughout the day the inquiry was
of the best, and encouraged those with
an eye out for better things. After
the closing sales were made on pri-
vate terms at 551sc, at which all the
remaining offerings were taken.
ROSINS-The rosin market opened
Arm, with sales of 500 barrels, and
closed firm and unchanged, sales 1856
barrels. The demand was good, and
the offerings about taken. The de-
mand was by no means of an urgent
nature, and while the market was re-
garded as firm, the undertone to some
looked steady. The receipts were l.
94O barrels. and the exports 2,491 bar
