ENTERTAINMENTS.
Polls Thenter.

The Watermelon Trust proved to be the big thing on the Poli bill last night. These five lovely colored entertainers gave a remarkable exhibition of danc- ing as well as introducing some good song hits. The combination work is of the variety that takes at this theater and last nights house gave the feature a good big lot of applause.
 Sam Edwards and company furnish ed the chief sketch on the bill and it was filled with good comedy work. F. E. Kidder furnished the material and all three principals are given good roles. It received a good reception and bids fair to become one of the popular acts of the bill.
 Harry Smilil and Rose Kessner as the comedy acrobats 'The Bell Boy and the Waiting Maid" It serves to inject some good comedy with host of acrobatic situations in it.
 Edward Gray as the mimic and come dian is good. Boyce and Wilson as the Two Jacks with their vocalist work make hit. They are splendid singers and are a refined and neat attraction. Robbins and Brennan are the comical duelists. Their work is of the popular variety and they, too, came in for their share of the applause bestowed yester- day afternoon.
 Haight and Dean as the returning sol- diers in the sketch Hook and Eye" had the audience convulsed with laughter, with lively comedy sketch of popu- lar theme and given with many comical twists that were highly appreciated. The vitagraph closed the bill with a new series Of views.

CAUSES WHICH ARE HALTING
 THE FORWARD MOVEMENT.

Hartford, June 1.-The Connecticut Commercial Bulletin says:
 Contemplated work in new buildings and on railway lines is being postponed all oves the country. There are two causes for this. One is the embarrass- ment brought about by labor strikes, and the other is the inability of the country to supply the necessary capital at the present time. The New York Tribune said recently: It has been an nounced that the New York Central, the Erie, the LackaWanna and other trunk lines have abandoned temporarily plans for big improvements which were to have been carried out this year. Work will be restricted to those im- provements considered necessary and imperative. The reason for this is that the roads find it hard to obtain the cash necessary for the work. The New York Central already has $35,000,0OO of new stock authorized. but the stock has not been issued. because. it is said. the market is not able to digest it. The terminal plans are not affected by this decision. The other roads which were to have issued stock to get money to pay for improvements have also decid- ed not to put the stock out; and this eX- plains contraction of improvement plans.

 New York, June 1.-The stock market was still under pressure to-day, in spite of some resistance by the speculative leaders, notably St. Paul. Short cover- ing was also reported in Rock Island The reports of damage by floods affect ed Rock Island and had a growing in fluence on the operations in Missouri Pacific, Atchison and Union Pacific. Missouri Pacific, after some resistance to the depression, became the weakest stock among the railroads late in the day, and it sold down 2A below Fridays closing level. The gathering strength in the wheat and corn markets. which was attributed to the flood and weather news from the west, aggravated the de- pression in this group of railroad stocks. There was renewed liquidation also in a group of stocks in which Can adian shareholders are interested, most of the selling being attributed to orders received from the Canadian cities. Sloss Sheffield steel was most conspicuously affected with a drop of 51a points, the preferred losing i. Twin City Rapid Transit an extreme SA. Canadian aei- fic 3. Minneapolis.

The Leather stocks were heav- fly sold apparently on account of dis satisfaction with the projected plan for distribution of treasury assets to the preferred stockholders. The common stock fell 21A and the preferred 6. Some of the inactive specialties also showed wide declines.
 The pressure to sell is renewed on any advance. as was evident in the case of St. Paul. The same thing was appar~ ent on the rally in Amalgamated Cop per, which showed some evidence of support. There were some feverish ral- ries just at the close. Professional op- orators in stocks set much store by the fact that the first evidence of the cul- imitation Of prolonged decline is a stampede among over-extended shorts to cover. The ease with which the hears have been able to secure stock to make good their commitments on the short side up to this time has been &C., cepted as test that the market has not yet been oversold.

The engagement oz $5O0.OOO gold for shipment on Thursday. the annorSce- ment of a shipment, of $250,0OO gold to South America to-day and, late in the day, admissions from several exchange Thursday had depressing influence on stocks. The time money market showed a hardening tendency and the insignifi- cant loan contraction by the banks last week caused some uneasiness over the money market outlook. Good railroad earnings were ignored.
 Bonds were heavy in sympathy with stocks. Total sales par value, $1,440,- 900. United States bonds were all un- changed oa the last call.
