The North Bros. Comedians

The North Bros. Comedians
Who open a weeks engagement at
the Reynolds Opera House next
Monday night, Nov. 20, is without
doubt the biggest and best roper
toire organization now touring the
country. Money ha s not bee n
spared in getting this big company
to where it now stands. The COM
pany is composed of the best tai
ent obtainable in the theatrical pro-
fession. The many years of sue
cessful management OF the North
Bros. has given them the best OPP
portunity to select the best talent
that the country affords. So when
the curtain falls on the final act of
IA Prince of Gamblers" next Mon.
day light Union City theatre.goers
will have seen one of the most COM
plete comedy dramas that has ever
been in the Reynolds Opera House.
The Prince OF Gamblers is no
cheap comedy drama, but high.
class drama, and you will say so
when you have witnessed it, just
the same as all the others say who
have seen this great play.
The company is headed by two of
Americas m o st noted repertoire
people, Mr.. Harry Chaplin North
and Miss Virginia Goodwin. Mr..
North has been featured with some
of the best companies in the coun-
try and Miss Goodwin possesses a
talent seldom found in an actress
of to day. The company is also
strengthened by that noted charac-
ter actor, Mr.. Geo. Hanna. The
work Of Mr.. Hanna as Denver Dan
in 1.-The Prince of Gamblers" is I'M
surpassed by any character actor
IN the country.
The vaudeville entertainment is
headed by the two famous Deagons,
direct from Proctor & Keith's, New
York city, and as special feature
a lady orchestra IS carried, the only
company in the country carrying
such an expensive feature. The
ladies of the orchestra are all grad
yates of the Boston Conservatory
of Music. They give half hour
concert before the performance be-
gins, so come early and hear the
selections rendered by the lady or

BUYING FEVER IN
 THE WHOLE MARKET
News of Pacifes Has Effect on
 Everything
STREET TAKEN BY SURPRISE
Pennsylvania and New York Central Were Principal Sympathetic Stocks Which We're Greatly Af-
 fected by the News.

New York. August 17.-union Pacific on ern Pacific on d per cent dividend basis. Official announcement of this result of yesterdays S meeting of the executive com mittees of the two committees electrified Wall stret almost immediately after the operations in the stock market had begun today. Speculative excitement blazed up of sudden and instead of burning itself out in a flash, as Is not unusual on such an outbreak after a period of continued speculation, the flame thus kindled in- creased and spread until practically all parts of the stock exchange list were embraced in the fervent demand to buy stocks. Wall street unauestionably was taken by surprise. Wall stret surprises commonly are not due to under estima- tion of coming events.
 The usual rule is that a perior of speculative excitement such as has oc- cured this week in the Hartman Pa eifes gives rise to so many excited con- lectures, partly voluntary and partly in- cited for a purpose, that the actual event on which a speculation has been based brings disappointment. and more likely a rush to sell, than an extension of the buying movement.
 Yesterday, rumor mongers who alleged that Southern Pacific was to receive a semi-annuaI dividend of 21s per cent rather than the expected per cent were
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-08-18

regarded as extravagant. As for the pros poets of Union Pacific stockholders the most hopeful prophet offered no sugges- ton of more than 31a per cent for the half year would be dsbursed on that stock, opinion being divided only as to whether the increase over the preceding per cent rate would be incorporated in reg ular 31s per cent dividend or distinguished as 11s per cent extra in addition to the maintained per cent regular rate. The dazzling effect of the announcement of a regular per cent semi-annual dividend on speculative imagination was thus mag nified many fold.
 Opinion leaped to the conclusion that this was a decision representing financial power and authority of the first magni- tude and likely to affect by it's influence and example the control of corporate management as whole; that the period making desirable strict retrenchment in the disbursement of corporate profits for the expansion of facilities and the im- provement of plant and equipment had reached It's completion and that the way open for the enjoyment by stockholders of a fuller share of earnings secure in the capacity of their property to care for the requirements on it, and to main tain the earnings powers thus defined The convulsive rise in Union Pacific and Southern Pacific aroused some anxiety at first owing to the distress of an uncov- cred short interest which was indicated. The movement elsewhere in consequence was feverish and irregular for a time.
 The general deductions drawn from the dividend action on the Pacifics was so important and far-reaching, however to allow the general advance to be long re- strained The new income basis offered by the Paciics themselves, especially Union Pacific. left such wide room for read iustment in the price that the rise was vigorously extended by spasmodic move ments Other stocks most acutely afected, were those in which conditions bore the closet analogy of Union Pa cific. Pennsylvania and New York Gen. tral were the principal examples by req son of their large stockholdings of con trolled companies.
 The increase in the Union Pacific divi- dend was definitely assigned to the re- sources of its income from investments. Hence. the analogy. The strength or the market, however, became fairly compre- bensiye The continued rise in interest rates on time loans and the testimony of the currency movement, Of the growth of the interior demand for harvesting purposes, were forced out of signt al most completely In the specuiatNe thusiasm of the day. Union Pacincs eN- treme high price was 179a4, compared with 1923 last night.
 Southern Pacific rose to s9 early in the day. an extreme advance of 61s but did not rise again to that level later. pennsvlvania gained 6, New York Central 4 and the active list generally from to 3 points. ..
 The irregular closing, below the pest of the day, was the natural result or rea1izine on the days inviting profits.

New York, August 1.-The cotton mar ket was very weak and unsettled again today with prices making new low re- cords for the, season. The close was bare ly steady at a net decline of IS to z4 points. Sales were estimated at s50oo0 bales.
 The market opened weak at a decline of to 10 points under very disappointing cables and a hard drive by local bears There was a renewal of demand at the decline through some big wire house with western connections and this rallied the market with the assistance of shorts cov- ering, to nearly the closing bid of yester- day during the early morning, but prices soon weakened again and reached the low point in the afternoon under a renewal of bear pressure and liquidation. while the seemed to be withdrawn A private report showing the condition in the crop of less than one per cent since the end of last month, was one of the factors during tine afternoon and helped to send August to the 9-cent mark The close was practi- cally the low point of this session. Wealth CT reports were considered generally fa- vorable. Southern spot markets were 1-16 to Ksc lower and the south was a seller here during the late trading.
 Receipts at ports today. 606l bales, against 1903 last week and S415 last year. For the week estimated, 30,00o bales, against 24.615 last week and 57220 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 7S0 bales. against 6S1 last week

 Few cables said anything about a re- action, while on the other hand, some of them predicted a heavy decline.
 New cotton turned ID everywhere and there were signs that the movement east of the Mississippi river was swelling.
 Prices are almost cent lower than they were this time last year and yet cotton is being marketed as if prices were a cent higher
