The New York Sun recently took

shortly. as Il proof OF it's theory that
the greater success of a play was
made by competent east of players
who were not well known, rather than
cast of well known favorites. To
quote the Sun, it said: IAN Illustration
in point is given in Quincy Adams
Sawyer at the Academy of Music. No
more than two members of the COM
pany were known to the first audi
ence. Yet the cast was complete and
truly admirable. Several of the Yam
kee types were sketched by real ar
fists and no mistake. MIR. Stephens

demonstratively amorous moods is a
fine achievement in artistic eccen-
tricity, and all the more enjoyable be
cause the artist is not Il celebrity

Prices Registered New Level
for the Season
MARKET RULED IRREGULAR
Closed at Slight Net Gain on Buying
Attributed to Covering Of Shorts
and Purchases for Spot
interests.

New York, December a.-The cotton
market was moderately active and ruled
irregular. At times the bears appeared
to be in full control and prices register
ed a new low level for the season around
midday to rally later and closed very
steady at a slight net gain on buying
that was attributed not only to covering
of shorts, but to purchases for spot in
terests
The opening was firm at an advance
of 1a1o points in response to the cables.
On the New York close of yesterday.
Liverpool was due to come about to
points lower, but official quotations
showed a decline of only points at the
hour of the local opening, and private
cables reported more favorable condi-
lions, owing largely TO an over-sold short
interest and small southern offerings. At
ter the opening here prices continued to
show firmness and worked up to a net
gain of about 12d1s points in the first
half hour or SO of trading on covering,
and buying by reactionists
But leading speculative interests were
very heavy sellers on the bulge at Isl
for March, and the early demand being
filled up, prices started downward, reach
ing in the early afternoon a net loss
of about points with January within IL
points of the promised cents level, while
March selling at 7.30, was p points down
from the best level of the session. Sell
ing was encouraged to some extent by
reports of freer spot offerings in the
southern markets and a lower range Of
quotations, but in the afternoon export
ing interests who had been quietly buy
ing on the decline, uNNhased very ag-
excessively, smaller shorts covered active
ly and prices shot up. to a little over
the opening figures Final quotations
were san points net higher on all months
except October which was IA points high
er. Sales of futures were estimated at
$50, 900 bales. The estimate for tomor-
rows receipts at Houston was small, but
other points expect fair arrivals.
Receipts at the ports today 45,449 bales

year. For the week, 100000 bales against
