ADJUSTMENTS.
Maude Adams.

A brilliant throng assembled at the Jef- ferson theatre last night to see Maude Adams play Lady Babbie in "The Lit tie Minister While seated there one forgot that he was seeing play in which the emotions were stimulated where the people were only actors and where the god of love was not in deadly earnest. One felt transported to quaint old Thrums the home of the Scotch weaver and stout religious beliefs, a hamlet made famous by the lnimitable stories of J. M. Barrie. In Thrums the people are not frolicsome; there Is little galety and the brighter side of life is often forgotten, but there is rugged worth. sentiment and pathos concealed beneath an unprepos- sessing exterior. In Thrums the serious questions of life are paramount and trl- fles are exaggerated Into tragedies by the simple weavers. Yet a ray of sunshine is not unknown there. Even the barren lives of the weavers are sometimes light ed up by passing brightness when there is a bit of love-making going forward and a little affair of the heart gives the gossips something to talk about for weeks to come. The people of Thrums have few pleasures and look upon the world with an austere eye, but the hard ships of their existence can never de- stroy those principles of virtue, stsrn for titude and faithfulness to that dominic who is in very fact the arbiter of their joys and sorrows.
 To them the "meenister' is Gods vice. regent on earth. His person Is holy, his walks apart from other men and his superiority is great that no com mon mortal can ever hope to consort with him on equal terms. He i1 their little pope whom they delight to worship and to talk about. That is the way they re- garded MT. Dishart, and when a merry, elfin sprite came dancing across his path and dared to usurp his heart their con- sternation can well be imagined.
 It was that Maude Adams appeared last night and became the artful gypsy From the time that she came skipping through the trees, clad in her simple gown. to play havoc with the worthy young dominie's heart, until in the last act. the real Lady Babbie revealed but still wilful, womanly and lovable, she was proclaimed mistress of the manse, 1t was not hard to believe that she was

 With Further Advance In Prices.
JOBBlNG DEMAND IS GOOD

New York. October 21.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Good feeling, in some instances ap- preaching optimism, dominates ths general trade situation, but the unuer, tone is withal one of conservatism anu there is a general desire to avoid over trading. Except in portions or the west and southwest, where cooi weather has helped retail distribution and in the south, where good prices for cotton induce free marketing or the crop, there is a disposition to regard the weather as too warm for pest re- suits in final distribution. Railway earnings turned the corner in August, tLe roads of the country showing gain of a fraction of 1 per cent h gross and of per cent in net over 1903. Collecuons have continued 10 improve, being especially good at the south.
 General jobbing demand, the country over Is most active in staples. The het- ter demand for pig iron noted last week has gained In strength with further ad- vances in prices. Finished material does not show as much activity, but the rail- ways are buying material quite freely ftarQWare IS acIlNe III all llneS. l lle OtASi metals are all stronger. There Is bet ter tone in the fuel markets. Bituminous coal shows more stability, but the man ufacturing demand for anthracite lags, while domestic sizes are moving with sea sonable activity Lumber Is relatively | quiet at the east, but there Is consider able building being done at the west. The tendency of the cotton market is down. ward. The markets for other raw textiles. such as hemp flax, wool and raw silk are all strong and tend upward. Wheat, including flour exports for the week ending October 20, aggregate 1,066,- 462 bushels against 1,957,175 last week, and 4,265 OSO this week last year. From July to date, they aggregate 20972,34S bush els, against 49,SO6.7 TIA last year. Corn ex- ports for the week aggregate 597,S9S, against S57,517 last week, and 1,S09,SS5 a year ago. From July 1 to date they az gregate 9,S45757 bushels, against n,O50, 54t l last year.

 really Lady Babbie and not Maude Adams All through the delightful play Miss Ad- am's magnetic personality dominated her audience The lights and shadows of emotions fitted over her face and were betrayed in every movement as naturally as if handsome Arthur Byron was that ''meenister'' upon whom the alluring Lady Babbie had set her heart
 The charm of Maude Adams lies in her simplicity, her naturalness, and the apt portunity for coquetry, for tenderness and for womanly inconslstence. She is 6 dainty, graceful and very fascinating Lady Babbie who makes the audience her confidant and instantly commands the loyal support of every man in the house. Whether she is archly teasing the be- wildered minister, Is cajoling her father or Is yielding to that love which the dominic has inspired. or whether she is tossed about in a storm of irresolu- tions she is equally charming, equally clever and convincing. Surely MT. Barrie could not wish for a more entrancing Lady Babbie than that portrayed by Maude Adams.
 A strong company gave Miss Adams support, although one is apt to overlook its merits when she Is on the stage Ar thur Byron was the kind of man we would all like for Lady Babbie to love, while Mrs. w. G. Jones as Mamie Webster, Charles Walcot as Thomas Whamond, chief elder and Eugene Jepson as Lord Rintoul, were all clever. There was no flaw in the performance. Thrums and it's people was so faithfully reproduced that one could we'll believe that he had trav- eled into that little hamlet which has been proclaimed the wide world over by J. M. Barrie. Both the play and the play CTS were delightful, and Birmingham was pleased to pay tribute to winsome Maude Adams.
