COMP ANY PROVED
WELL BALANCED
Peaceful Valley Made
Pleasing Impression.

By a company of rare balance in
its cast, that delightful pastoral drama
Peaceful Valley" was presented last
night at Glovers Opera House to an
audience which was thoroughly pleas
ed with the Offering.
Many years have past since Sol
Smith Russell toured the South in
the play which he made famous and
the play has not been on the lips
of the younger generation as it was
with the older, but the story has
lost none of it's quaintness with age,
and in the hands of the present com
pany finds a worthy vehicle.
In his historionic career, Mr.. Sax
on .glided easily from an eminent pos
ition as platform artist to that of
a, star in a popular play and with a
company of experience and merit to
support him. The leading juveline,
though somewhat untried previous to
the present season has more than
made good. The remainder of the
company is composed of veteran ac-
tors who have already made a
reputation in other productions.
This play is the story of 'Peace-
full Valley" in New England, where life
went on pretty much as elsewhere,
except that the playwright caught
the scintillations of humor and side
plays of pathos which are the history
of small communities generally, if
there were only an artist to catch the
color and establish the proportion
1t is such a play as all could appre-
ciate to the full.
Edward Saxon is staring" in the
play, having the part of Hosea Howe.
If the part had been written for him.
it could hardly have fitted him better
In appearance he is long and awk-
ward and in a beauty show he would
hardly be able to take first honrs. But
this is better than any makeup"
could possibly be, for he is left abso-
mtely natural to play a part in
which he seems perfectly at home
In comparing his work with that of
Sol Smith Russell in his climaxes he
seems to portray more of the drama
tic power than did Russell, and in
his humorous parts nature has been
so generous as to make him do even
better work than did Russell, who
had to assume a part which Saxon
finds made to his hand. In the love
scene with Virgie Rand in the second
act he appears to especial advan-
tage, and here again the readiness Of
the ardor is a strong point Mr.. Sax
on distinguished himself girst as a
reader and impersOnator before he en-
listed in the historlonic ranks and
this stands him in excellent stead
Miss Mabel Wright, the leading
lady, has the part of Virgie Rand.
Her work in this role was highly ac-
ceptable AS an artist she is simple.
sincere and spontaneous. She is
evidently a young woman Of culture
iand refinement, and made most
pleasing impression. She formerly
played the part Of Polly Woods" in
the "Virginian," but in neither that
nor her present part does she get a
chance to put forth her best powers.
1t is to be hoped that she may be seen

COTTON CONTRACTS
HAD SMALL LOSSES
Demand Locally At Quota
lions dissatisfied.

After opening generally at small
losses yesterday, except that the De-
cember position at New York was u
points lower, the cotton markets made
a sharp rally, passing the closing fig
ures for Monday, only to turn lower,
followed by another rally, with a
dropping tendency at the close. Dec
ember at New York retrieved its ear
ly loss and actually made small
gain. Other positions registered los
ses of 4 to points as compared with
the previous close. Liverpool opened
lower but at the time of opening of
the American markets had sagged
further, which depressed the markets
on this side of the pond. That market
rallied in the late trading and this
likewise was felt on this side. Trad
ing was at no time very animated The
chief sustaining factor was the firm
ness of spot holders, warning specu-
lators against selling themselves into
a position from which the farmers
would refuse to extricate them by
sacrificing the real article.
New York opened 2 points higher
for May, but 4 to IL points off for
,
/ point higher for December and
to points off for other positions,
as compared with the close for Mon
day. Spots were unchanged. New
Orleans opened points lower for
December, but unchanged to l point
lower for other active positions. The
close was steady, to Z points net
lower for the session. Spot quota
TONS were unchanged.
Liverpool opened steady 2 to 8
points lower, having been due to
show a gain. At 2 o'clock the market
had worked lower, but the firmness
of holders on this side and the be-
lief in bullish ginners admonished
the shorts to cover The close was
steady, unchanged to l point lower.
Spot prices were marked up Z points
with sales of 5000 bales.
The ginners report will be issued
tomorrow morning at the opening. Of
the market, showing the amount of
cotton ginned to November IA
The Americas spot market was
quiet but firm. Sales were small
and on a basis Of 10 IA cents for
good middling Offerings were not
by any means sufficient to satisfy the
demand, the owners of cotton in To-
cal warehouses evidencing the same
firmness for better prices which has
frmness for better prices which has
characterized their attitude for the
past two weeks. The receipts by wa
gon for the day We're 70 bales.
The estimate for today at all points
is $4,000 bales, against 103,657 for
last year Galveston is due to get
$4,000 and Houston 1000.

STATE WILL NOT STOP
IN BACK TAX SUIT

ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 19.-(SpeciaD
Notwithstanding the unfavorable de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court on the right of the state to col
lect back taxes on the stock of the
Western Railway of Alabama, for
eign corporation, it is said that the
state of Georgia will not give up the
fight 1t was sought to collect taxes
back to 1895. The contention of the
defendant company that the collection
of this tax when no other similar
cases had been begun was denial of
equal protection under the law, was
sustained 1t is probable that an act
of the Legislature will be necessary
to institute a new suit.

CLARK & CO.'S COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Liverpool
refused to recognize the advance of
yesterday, claiming that an issue of
Panama bonds had no direct bearing
on the cotton market. Our session
has been dull with a dullness indes-
cribable; about the only feature be-
ing the issue of a sensational circu-
lar by we'll known commission house
in which the crop is estimated at
11,500,000 Such estimates are, Of
course, little better than a joke. On
Thursday at a. M, the trade will
be treated and tortured with ano-
Their ginners report, showing amount
ginned to November 14th. These re-
ports, doctored so carefully before
leaving home, have little effect on
the market, for no sane man will be-
lieve them. Enough cotton is com
ing in sight every day to meet all
consumptive requirements and there
is no incentive for spinners to stock
up at these prices. On the whole the
outlook for higher prices is not en-
couraging. Cotton is a safe sale on
every advance.
