The Theatrical Season.

The theatrical season is fast
approaching, and it gives every
assurance of being the most sue
cessful season which this city has
ever had, both in the number of
plays which will be presented
here and the excellence of the at
traction to be given. The first
movement that Messrs. Humph-
ries, the new managers made,
was to get the local house on the
Klaw 81 ErlaDger circuit, and the
result is that they have secured
a large number of this agency s
very best attractions. The
season opens on the 29th of Sep
tember and that funny show,
Alfonso and Castor, will be the
attraction.
The Columbus theatre patrons
will be greeted by a new house
when it is formally thrown open.
The scenery has been over
hauled and a new drop curtain
added. The walls are all in new
tints and the boxes have been
redraped and made very attrac
tive. The woodwork has been
repainted and the house has been
Oyerhauled from top to bottom,
having the appearance of a new
house throughout. The i'm prove
ments will add greatly to the
pleasure of the hOus e's guests
and gives TO Columbus a theatre
commensurate with all of its
needs.
Among the many good attrac-
tions which Messrs. Humphries
have booked are the following:

Provisions.

The contemplated advance in Bacon and Lard
has not yet taken place. the Chicago mar
ket has become very unsettled lately and its
daily variations are such as to deter the local
trade from taking any decided steps in any
direction
The Chicago letter OF Mitchell Mulcahy q
Co says: Receipts OF hogs are less than a
year ago The market, however. shows a hest
tating action. Packers are trading both
sides. The position Is in our Judgment, very
doubtful one. While the receipts OF hogs have
been disappointing because large receipts had
been expected yet any reason why there
should be any deficiency in the country Is not
shown. We are inclined to think, after 50
material an advance. we would take profits on
the hard spots"

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables.

The market for new POTATOES had a weak
tone, as the previous high prices checked the
eonsumpttve demand somewhat and although
receipts were moderate the market did not
clean up as we'll as the preceding day.
General offerings of both red and white vari-
eties sold at lower range, while few small
lots OF exceptionally fine stock which were
competed for by rival dealers. commanded the
usual premium. There was no change in
well up to requirements

wHEAT-Liverpool futures were higher and
Liverpool reported a better spot demand on
unexpected small shipments, unfavorable crop
reports from Argentina and Russia and a great
storm in Spain, which was reported 10 be do
ing much damage to crops
Chicago quiet and featuTeless and the
San Francisco market likewise dull and
uninteresting
The Chicago letter of Mitchell MuIcahy &,
Co. said: Liverpool was I'D higher on small
worlds shipments and the dry conditions in
Southeastern Europe and Argentina This
caused some strength here and some covering
OF shorts. 1t neutralized, however by
the continued fine weather fine crop reports
and very poor -four and cash demand The
cash wheat situation still has declining ten
dency and the movement of the new crop Is
getting nearer day by day. With good weather
in this country the initiative of an advance
must we think, come from abroad. European
supplies are very plentiful and 1t will take
something rather drastic in the way of a crop
outlook TO sustain an advance In the market
there. Some decrease in the visible supply is
expected but II win not be likely to be more
than year ago.
