YESTEKDAY1S STOCK M1RA E1
Dropped Back Into an Apathetic Con-
 dition,

Dropped Back Into an Apathctic Con-
 di,ion.
 New York, April 1.-The stock market dropped back into an apathetic condi- ton to-day. It moved in an extremely sluggish and halting manner through out the day. This was a disappoint- ment to such speculators as had hoped that yesterdays advance heralded the beginning of a continued upward move ment. Yesterdays buying in face of the high money rate was based upon an assumption that the corner would be turned to-day in the money difficulty and that easier conditions would begin with the disbursement of April divi- dends and interest money. When the call money market was seen to be quite as stiff as yesterday there was some selling of stocks by yesterdays buyers in consequence. The whole market was strictly professional. The sub-treasury statement as expected showed that the payment of yesterdays draft for relief purposes in the Philippines resulted in making good to the money market the previous sub-treasury drain since Fri day. Some further benefit to the money market is expected from the payment of government interest. A seasonable re- turn flow of money from interior points is also expected.

"Mademoiselle Mars" in which Mrs Langtry will appear at the Hyperion Monday next, was written especially for her by Paul Hester, author of Sweet Nell of Old Drury," which was produc- ed in London by Julia Nelson and Fred Terry at the Globe theater, where it had long run. He also dramatized The Cavalier from George W. Cables g novel of the same name for Julia Mar lowe. Mrs Langtry first presented "Mademoiselle Mars at the Imperial theater in London about year ago, and it ran for over 150 nights. The play deals with the character of the French actress, who was one of the most prom inent members of the celebrat ted Theater FranCais in Paris. She was a friend of Napoleon and was loyal to him even during his exile. MT. Hester presents a splendid picture of the court life of that period, and the play introduces a num- Der of celebrated characters in a new guise. "Mademoiselle Mars" will be presented by Mrs. Langtry exactly as it was produced in London and with all the original scenery and accessories. The English actress will appear in the title part and the role of Napoleon will be played by William Humphrey, who acted the same character, with Julia Arthur in her production of More Than Queen" Seat sale opens, Friday.
