Melville Vaudeville Company Did Not
Give Educated Show.

Frank IL. Beane, who was advertised as
manager of the Melville Vaudeville Com
pany. failed to make good his advertise
ment at Laurel. Md, Saturday night, 1t is
alleged, and came away from there In q
hurry because ne feared he would he uof,.
bed.~ He was arrested in this city at an
early hour yesterday morning and locked
up on receipt of request from the Laurel
police authorities. where there was a war
rent Tor his arrest on a charge of receiv-
ing money under false pretenses Mrs
Beane and two members Of the Theatrical
company were detained at Laurel Satur-
day night when 1t became apparent that
the audience In the opera house Was
doomed to disappointment The adver-
tisement stated that the people of Ianre,
were to be treated to a high class show
and that pretty girls and funny comedians
would entertain them.
Two boys with educated feet and two 9th
ers with educated dogs were billed to form
part of the show Tickets were sold and
the holders OF them were on hand to wit
ness the performance.
When Beane realized that his pretty girls
and funny comedians were not on hand
apd that the people were to be disappointed
he left Laurel.

THE TOBACCO TRADE.
Unfavorable Weather for Marketing
Good Prices Are Realized.

The sales of loose tobacco at Petersburg,
Va. last week were small, as the weather
has been too dry for getting the weed in
order for market. 1t is estimated that about
100. 0G0 pounds were sold at prices averaging
from 81 to SO per hundred pounds. For two
or three days the weather has been more
propitiouS for getting tobacco In order, and
the warehousemen expect large receipts this
week.
At South Boston breaks of leaf tobacco
has footed up nearly 10000 pounds weekly,
and there is every indication that they Will
continue heavy until most OF 1t Is marketed.
The demand for all grades is steady. and
prices firm, with upward tendency. the av-
erage lately being a little over cents a
pound.
In the dark toba eco belt, fifty miles north
ward. the farmers are being organized by
tives of the acknowledgements
Dark Tobacco Growers Association, and
large meetings have RECENTLY been held at
Farmville. Charlotte and Amelia. The rep
resenta tives claim that organization had en-
abled the planters to get largely increased
prices for their product in Tennessee and
Kentucky.
At Durham. n. c., receipts of leaf tobac eco
were heavy. for many weeks past, with
slight decrease when the weather is dry and
unfavora5le. during the latter part Of
last week. Prices have been steady, aver
aging a little more than IL cents. with slight
advance on some grades. At the present
rate of selling the farmers in the golden
| tobacco DeiI VIII nave SOlu the Dulk OF the
crop before the new year. If prices continue
good the next three months a considerable
increase in acreage planted next year may
be expected.
At Danvile. Va. sales were not heavy
last week, few hours each day being suff1-
client to dispose of the offerings. Weather
conditions have been unfavora BILE for hand
ling the weed Some leaf and Tugs of very
good quality appeared on the breaks. Prices
showed an advance over those prevailing [
any other time since the new crop began to
come in. Common grades when sound and
sweet continue to advance right along. To-
bacco that could have been bought in Sep
TENDER at 3 cents now sells readily at 5
cents per pound. Indeed. nothing that is
sound is too common to bring 4 cents read
lily. The medium grades do not fully share
in the advance. The past weeks offerings
were almost exclusively from the old belt.
There was very little eastern Carolina to-
bacco on the market. There are reports of
some package lots having changed hands.
The weather conditions now promise in
good season, and If 1t should materialize the
receipts will again be heavy until the holi-
day suspension. The total sales for the new
tobacco year UP to date exceed the deliver
les for the same period last year.
At Lynchburg the weather has con-
tinued very dry, the receipts being light
amounting to 319. 800 pounds, or decrea Sc
of &c. 500 pounds, as compared with the pre-
vious week. The quality and condition of
the offerings have been rather better than
in the past. Prices on all grades were we'll
sustained. with some advance in fine leaf
and wrappers.

fore an audience which filed the house
The program was one of exceptional merit.
and the work of the Saengerbund itself
brought forth great applause. The selec-
tons Dy the orchestra of forty musicians,
under the direction of Henry Xander, who
also led the chorus, were excellent Per-
sonal triumphs were scored by the two So
loists Miss Marie Nichols of Boston, vio-
hnist. and Miss Mary Carson-Kidd of New
York, soprano. On the whole the concert
was a complete success.
Miss Nichols played with unusually fine
technique and the sweetness of the tones
she secures is remarkable. She put great
feeling into her playing of the 'Andante
and Finale" from Concerto OPP. "a. by
Mendelssohn, and group, composed Of
"Chante" and 'Guitarre,' by Lalo, and
"Tarantelle," by Wieniawski
The singing of Miss Carson-Kidd was
such as to call forth considerable applause
The quality of her voice and her faithful
rendering of the songs contributed to her
success last evening. She sang a iscene
and aria from Verdfs La Tra1ata."

NEW YORK. November 27.-On the face
OF things, the most important matters which
engaged attention this morning, that is, OF
general weight. were the slight relaxation
fl the money market and the further evil
dences OF the gravity of the Russian situa-
ton which were presented in the adviccs
Sunday.
The former had been expected III view of
the relatively strong showing which the
banks made in last Saturdays statement.
although several bankers expressed doubts
TO whether a definite turn had finally
been reached in monetary affairs.
The only reflection of the news from Rus
sIa was a break of 11s points in Russian
Imperial Is, but even this serious decline
had scIut influence upon the remainder OF
the London market. American shares were
quoted there at small Irregular changes.
and operations here for foreign account
were on balance. largely on the buying
side.
Heavy Dealings.
In the face of this somewhat negative Sit
uation there were tremendous dealings con-
Quoted in the stocks. and these resulted in
many actually sensational advances. The
which and wherefore of the striking results
following upon the days transactions were
by no means clear.
swings, ranging from fractional limits to
3 and points. while in the industrial and
miscellaneous stocks such gains were dou-
bled and trebled.
The shares OF the southern iron and coal
companies continue to play conspicuous
parts in respect of strength and activity,
with. however. very little to be e.icited in
explanation OF the and 10 point advances
recorded there.
Such rumors and gossip as attended the
dealings In this group revealed nothing
novel many Of them were too absurd for
recital, and others were promptly denied.
The stocks did not monopolize interest in
their quarter of the market, however. anc
further extensive advances took place in
Amalgamated Copper, American Smelling,
National Lead, Colorado Fuel and Iron,
International Paper and American Wooden.
The local traction shares came in for a
fair amount of attention and were very
firm, with, however, rather palpable and
singular liquidation In Manhattan.
Leading features of the railway lists were
Erie, New York Central st. Paul, Reading
and Union Pacific.
X remains to be said that in the face of
pronounced strength shown by the railway
list and the market at large the Rock Is
land ISSUES and their AFFILIATED securities
showed a renewal of the really pitiable
weakness which characterized the dealings
in those securities last week The remainder
of the market was unaffected TO remark
able degree by such declines as occurred in
the Rock Island issues, which might, under
ordinary circumstances been reckoned upon
to create little concern.
