new THEATRE is OPEN.
Topeka Appears to Approve Ten Cent
Vaudeville.

If the attendance at the opening per-
9ormances of the Star theater may be
taken as an indication Of its future
business, the success of the new theater
s. assured.
The new ten cent Star vaudeville the
ater has been opened at No AS Kansas
avenue. The managers are striving to
please, and they present clean and re-
fined performance, to which a. lady may
have no hesitancy in attending. In
fact to encourage the attendance Of Ia
dies and children the management has
announced that souvenirs will be given
on Friday afternoons and children will
be admitted for five cents on Saturday
The Star vaudeville theater marks
the beginning of an innovation in the
amusement line in Topeka Vaudeville
will be presented at popular prices The
cost of a seat is but 10 cents The open
ing performance Saturday night and
Sunday afternoon and night drew good
crowds. and all seemed well pleased.
The performance is worth the price
charged. OF course the vaudeville bill
Is not as strong as the program offered
at the Orpheum at Kansas City, but
the difference in price no doubt more
than offsets the difference in the per
Torrance.
The program did not move off as
smoothly at the early performance as
the management announces it will here
after. The workmen were not able to
get everything in readiness for the
opening, and for that reason a few diff
iculties arose which were unavoidable
but which will soon be overcome.
The kinodFome pictures this week are
amusing. The illustrated songs were
well received, and the vaudeville acts
made good with the audience. Jack
Forester and Dolly Jarvis, who made
their appearance in Topeka last sum-
rner at VinewOod Park gave a sketch
entitled "Drifted Apart" The sketch
is an exploitation OF the domestic trou-
bIes of a man and his wife in high So
ciety circles in London The sketch was
well received, and Kittfe Adair also re-
ceived an encore for her song and dance
number.
Vim. Hartwell. who is advertised as
the king Of the monologue world, sang

week, taking with them, it is said, a

In all, several trunks full of the goods

that the doctor was in the same room,
naturally suspected nothing. The

SOON. FELL INTO NEGLECT

New York, July 14-Today's stock mar ket proved small affair from any point of view. The volume of sales shrank to assmaller total than for any one day since the accumulation of stocks began in an- ticipation of re-investment buying with periods of half yearly disbursements. Fluctuations were generally narrow ana at times very irregular. A few stocks re- fected operations by an organized market following, and there were rumors circulat- ed to afford expectations suitable to the price movement in the stocks. These dio not prove very impressive, and the mar ket fell into increasing neglect as the day progressed.
 Heavy buying of Southern Pacihc Tn the morning was explained as being due to the expectation of a coming deal by which the stock was to benefit, but which was vaguely described as being neither dlV' idend declaration, nor stock subscription right The Union Pacific dividend was the subject of undiminished conjecture, and 1t was asserted at one time on the stock market that the increased rate had been actually declared. but the explanation was 
 directors had yet been secured.
 American Smelling also had the benefit of revived rumors of a coming increase in the dividend rate The many reports re- garding the northwestern grangers cir culated during the week resolved them selves into wide range of conjecture as to the disposition to be made Of Union Pacifcs proceeds of the Northern Se- curties dissolution. United States Steel was sold freely early in the day, and this was supposed to be the disposal of some large lines accumulated on Monday during the selling of the rest of the market to take profits by the speculative party, whose departure for fishing excursion was announced the following day. The preliminary estimate of the weeks cur- rency movement indicated considerable receipt here in addition to the yield of S1,566,000 on sub-treasury operations, and money on call was very easy. But the shipments are supposed to be due in part for preparation for tomorrows repay, ment of government funds on deposit with the national banks, and the marked ease of call money today was attributed to the use of the funds thus accumulated.
 The tone of the time money market con tinued to show firmer tendency the rate for six months loans working above per cent. The opinion was heard in bank. ing circles that money rates are likely to work closer in the future and this pros pect is believed to- account for the disin- clination to extend comm--ments in the stock market. The dull market did not tend to increase the weakness and there was a disposition towards recovery from the level of the first hour. The irregular manner of the recovery continued up to the close.

Ware 4 -,Iand,s Market Letter.

There has been no lack of excitement in development in the cotton market, and last weeks promise of very extreme fluctuations and cratic prices has been fulfilled
 With the present temper of the cotton trade the market is likely to prove very Interesting for the trades for some months to come and as the season gets to the critical stage, apprehension is likely to be even more acute than at the mo- ment.
 The cotton market is somewhat unique, in that for the first time on record, the entire cotton trade Is working on a basis of a crop failure when the size of the crop is never known until along in Sep tember. to even an approximate degree.
 And 1t is not known within several hundred thousand bales until after the frost period and can never be definitely determined until way along in the win ter.
 Some who are not familiar With trade conditions are perhaps sursprised at this feeling that there is not going to be cotton enough to go around when only a few months ago there was the other side of the picture and everyone was won dering how the trade would ever be able to absorb all the cotton in the south.
 The explanation is not difficult one and is found in the well known economic law that consumption Is larger when prices are lower and smaller when prices are high, than the prevailing belief.

ANOTHER BREAK IN THE COTTON MARKET Bear Pressure of Thursday
 Was Continued CABLES A SHADE BETTER About Midday the Bears Became Ag-
A SHADE BETTER
About Midday the Bears Became Ae aressive, Forcing Declines That Caught Heavy Stop Orders.
 Sales eoo,ooo Bales.

New York, July 14.--The cotton market had another sharp break during the mid dle session, but after selling more than s1 5O a bale below the closing of the futures of yesterday, rallied on active covering, and closed at net loss of only 5111 points. Sales were estimated at 6O0'OOo bales.
 The opening was easy at decline of 44 points, under continuation of the bear pressure noted on the prev,ous day but the cables were a shade better than ex- pected. and while the weather was gen. orally good, there was a moderate de- mand. and with offerings comparatively light the market soon after the opening rallied to a net advance of about SOY points. Following this there was renewal of weakness based on continued reports of free spot offerings, and around mid day the bears became aggressive, forcing declines that caught heavy stop orders in the hands of wire and commission houses and throwing the general list into con- fusion. Before the decline had been checked, October had sold at 10.62 and the general list was 30 to 34 points net lower. In the late trading there was active covering by shorts for -the-week end, and the market was firm at the closing fig ures.
 Receipts at the ports today 17,707 baies, against 14,512 last week anu 1922 last year. For the week, estimated. S2,0O0 bales, against 62,249 last week, and 1O.51s last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 2196 bales, against HI last year, and at Houston 2661 bales against 1 last year.

Lov,man. 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

A further decline of 43 points was ex- perienced today, October falling from the days highest, 10.56 to 1013. Shorts were encouraged by the continuance of fair weather all over the belt. except, perhaps in Georgia. where heavy rains were re- ported. The opening was lower than yes- terday's closing by about points, Oc- tober 10. 42 against TO- 49, but as Liverpool showed some disposition to improve, fi- nally closing only 4@5 points behind yes- terday, after having been down B. Amer ican markets were favorably affected and worked higher on report that Miss Giles would publish a crop report showing the condition of the plant to be about 13 compared with 7s lasr month. The Giles report was expected next Monday but it became currently reported that Miss Giles would not issue a report until next Wednesday, which. however, is nothing but a matter of two days. On the mere fact of the reports being postponed, shorts became aggressive and seemed to be carried away with the idea that prices were abnormally high. They fired volley after volley of offerings at longs, and be- coming desperate, raided the ring In an effort to dislodge weak longs, and their charges were not in vaint for they man. aged to force the market to a level that reached any number of stop-loss orders, which in turn caused a deal of involun- tary liquidation of long cotton. They ap- parentfy Thought themselves successful until the trade bethought itself of what had taken place.
