Heavy Kinds and Boston Chunks.

Chicago, July 14.-General trade has
been thus far the current week Of
stronger tone than anticipated by
commission dealers. Broader outside
demand has been pronounced and for
all commercial classes. Heavy busi-
ness offerings have found broad outlet

June's closing prices. Dealers regard
the Improvement as a temporary rally
and anticipate reaction next week.
A prominent feature Of the trade has
been the high quality Of the offerings

ceirts. Heavy draft classes are ac-
tive on eastern account at s17o@22o,

theater, in the early part of 1879, a
version of the reigning Paris sensation,
Zola's ''L'Assommoir,' with Charles
Warner in the leading part. Emily
Rigl played Virginia and Maud Granger
was the Gervaise- The role of Big
Clemence was acted by Ada Rehan,
then quite a young girl. and this was
the first part played by that actress
under Mr.. Days management. She
made an exceedingly favorable i'm
preston upon Mr.. DAILY, and a few
days later, when Miss Rigl had to re-
tire from the cast on account of ILL
ness, he intrusted her with the part of
Gervaise. She was Immediately en-
gagged by Mr.. DAILY for the stock COM
pany he was organizing for his new
theater.

ognized the value of the opportunity
at hand. Mr.. Daily saw in Miss Rehan
possibilities, gifts, of which she her
self probably was ignorant, and which
had she not fallen into the hands OF
this inf1exible. disciplinarian, might
never have reached their ultimate sig

ambitious, a hard worker. She realized

both numerous and emphatic. Never

execution for the first time on July 6,

success. In the years that have elapsed
there has never at any time been doubt
