in which the hero makes fearful
saerifice to right a wrong committed
by his brother Jack meets and
falls in love with Rachel Hardy an
eastern girl who has accompanied
her wealthy family, who seek
home in the western wilds because
of their fondness for such a mode of
living. An uprising OF the Indians
results in the establishment of an
army position in the neighberhood,
and in the perils which heset the
whites the United States troops are
aided by the bravery OF Genesee
Jack 1t appears that the charact-
ers are all very strongly drawn. that
the incidents in the play are of the
stirring and at the same time natu-
raj kind, and that the environment
of the play gives unusual scope for
superb scenic establishment The
production on at Powers theatre
is described as one OF the most beau
tiful that has ever been witnessed
on stage in this country, notably
the third act scene, which represents
a rocky pass wherein the soldier
and some of the ladies whom they
have been escorting, have been en-
trapped by the Indians AS the cur
tain ascends on this act It reveals
the mountains covered with snow
1t is just before dawn and the sol
diers are lying about waiting for the
attack of the Indians and for wha
apparently means a frightful massa
ere. Daybreak gradually approaches
and at the critical moment Jack
Genesee, by digging through an ole
abandoned mine. arrives in time K
conduct the prisoners to safety. All
this time the scene is gradually be
coming lighter as daylight ap
proaches, and at the final climax
| the act the mountains are floodet
with sunlight. This effect is de
scribed as one of the most skillfull
arranged bits of realism eve
achieved upon the stage in thi
country.
At the conclusion of the Chicag,
engagement, Told in the Hills" will
be presented in the cities of the

THE Lion and the Mouse is the

sational success. The public insist
in identifying the lion with John
D. Rockefeller. The play has at
tracted widespread comment from
newspapers and magazines.
The Lion and the Mouse is NOR,

markets here today. At the close wheat

up tsaA. Oats showed a gain of ~, Pro-
visions are up 8 to 1914
The wheat market was strong the entire
session. With the exception of a few bear
ish reports from the northwest, news of
the day was favorable to the bulls. The
weather bureau reported clear weather in
Kansas and Nebraska during the past TWEEN
ty-four hours, and predicted continued alb
sence of rain. Reports from many sections
of the southwest told of damage to the
crop. A forecast that the weekly statistics
on Monday would show liberal decrease
In worlds shipments helped to stimulate
demand for wheat. The strength of corn
and oats was another influence that tended
to create bullish sentiment In wheat.
Throughout the day commission houses
were active bidders, and although at times
there was heavy profit taking. prices were
well maintained. The market closed strong.
July opened asah to haas higher at S3A to
s3ss sold between 1915 and S3A and closed
at S33a Clearances of wheat and flour

Trading in the corn pit was active and
the market was strong all day. Demand
was general and the selling was chiefly by
longs Continued dry weather was the main
reason for the activity and strength. The
market closed strong July opened Mas to
ssaA higher, at 53k to 53A, advanced to

were 493 cars, with 221 of contract grade.
There was great volume OF trading in
the oats pit. The tone of the market was
exceedingly strong. Owing to the congested
condition of the July option, the buik OF
trading was in the more distant deliveries
At one time the price of the July delivery
touched 42h, a gain of 1c. over the previous
high record mark for the season. Dry

advance in prices. The market closed

The official statement OF the New York
associated banks was last week again dis
appointing in that 1t failed to reflect in the
cash changes the receipts of money which
were estimated on the basis of the traces
Bile movements during the week. Indeed
instead of generally expected more or less
important gains in cash there was a small
decrease. Loans were, however, only mod
erateiy expanded, and consequently de-
posits and the required reserve were but
slightly augmented. so that there was a
comparatively inconsesquential change In
the surplus reserve The loss of cash. as
reported in the statement, was $I73,00O

According to a Philadelphia correspond
ent that the Cambria Steel Company Will
not increase its dividend rate for some
time is clearly. indicated by statement
given out by Effingham B. Morris, chair
man of the board. Mr.. Morris said 1t is de-
sired to spend at least s5,000,000 by better
ments and extensions before any dividend
increase Is considered. These expenditures
will cover all parts of the plant, so that
each department may be balanced in proper
relation to the other Whether an Increase
as trade depends entirely on earnings II
during the next two years earnings increase
so phenomenally as to warrant an In
creased dividend after paying for these ex-
penditures it would, of course, be cons1d-
cred but 1t is the first wish of the man
ayers to put and keep the plant In proper
condition.

The Money Market Firmer.

The money market has grown frmer dur
ing the week. and rates for loans carrying
over the end of the year especially have
risen again TO a basis of So per cent bid.
The effect of the July 1 settlement is in
immediate question. and finding OF resources
for the usual autumn needs OF the money
market is never absent from calculations.
1t is taken into account that the New
York trust companies must have ready on
July L the SECOND installment OF the In
creased cash reserve required by them by
the addition TO the New York banking law.
1t is estimated that this will require an
addition OF 100000 to present holdings
OF the trust companies, which is likely TO
be withdrawn from their deposits with New
York banks. On July 10 the United States
treasury will withdraw 100000 of its de-
posts with national banks.
The problem of the financing of the San
Francisco fire insurance losses Is not yet
worked out In its details. and that process.
1t is feared, may still have danger of strain
upon the money market which will have to
be reckoued with.
The dull tone OF the bond market has con-
tinued unchanged.
