SYMPHONY CONCERT.
Large Audience Listens to Home Solo,
lists and Big Orchestra.


The Symphony Orchestra concert.
large and discriminating audience of
music lovers at the Salt Lake theater
between and s o'clock yesterday at
ternoon. There Is no doubt as To its
success. either from the artistic or
apparently from the financial view
point this time. Nevertheless. II was
not as brilliant as some OF its prede-
cessors have been. This does not mean
that il was mediocre In any respect,
for it was not 1t simply failed TO
reach the standard of some that nave
been given hitherto.
The home artists, Mr.. Alfred l.. Far
rell and Miss Esther Allen. were both
cordially received for their work as
vocalist and Violinist, respectively. MO
zart's within These Sacred Bowers,
from THE Magic Flute was Mr. gar
rell's first number. and particularly
well done in the middle ana upper
registers, and this same statement ap-
piles to Gounod's famous vulcan
song" In both of Mr. Farrelfs selec-
,ions he displayed the possession of
keen musical intelligence and gave a
finished rendition of each. Undoubted-
ly the location in Salt Lake of Mr..
Farrell is a decided acquisition to our
musical circles.
Miss Allen won a hearty round OF
applause for her performance OF
Bruch's violin concerto In minor, anu
a magnificent boauet of American beau-
ties found their way onto the stage as
a testimonial of appreciation of her
work.
The prettiest. and by odds, the most
artistienlly rendered selection by the
orchestra was Webers Invitation to
the waltz" which is n most exquisite
and delightful composition. The bal
let from "'rhe Queen OF Sheba," Gold
mark. was the largest most pretentious
and final number on the program, ana
won for Conductor Shepherd ana the
,,rchastro decidedly warm approval.

GROUND HOG DAY.
No Shadow Perceptiblc Today 80 an
Early Spring is Anticipated.

The entire southwest is still under
the low barometric area, with predic-
tions of snow or rain tonight and to-
morrow. The far north is again suf-
fering from a severely cold spell, while
the precipita ton over the country is
increasing. This is ground hog day.
But as it is cloudy, 1t is apparent that
the hog cannot sec his own shadow,
and will therefore remain above
ground: all of which betokens an early
spring. A number of robins have been
seen around town In the past 10 days,
which is also understood to point to-
ward an early close of winter. For
several years past. the cold weather of
the winter season has obtained dur
ing the last week of January and the
first week in February.

He's never left the pole for minute; but suppose, Ike, Barry had tipped off Cam that all the boys will let so their fliers, and most of them will take one on the short side over tonight for a supersti- tious drop at the opening; and sup pose Cam has told him to take them all into camp and give her a rafter-scraper at the opening, where would old Friday, 18th, land on to- morrow's dope-sheets? Bring up the average, wouldn't it, for five years to some? I tell you, Ike, she's too deep for me this run, and I'm goin' to let her alone and pay for the turkey out of loan commissions or stick to plain work-day food"

with surer confluence or continuing it's victorious march. Sugar advanced with record-breaking total sales to 207z and the final half-hour carried the whole list of stocks up with it. In that time some of the railroads jump ed ten points. Sugar closed at the very top amid great excitement with Barry Conant taking all offered. Dur ing the last 90 minutes it had become evident 10 all that the board-room traders and plungers. together with many of the semi-professional gam blers, who operated through commis- sion houses. were selling out their stock and going short over the open ing of the Wall street hoodoo-day.

But it was also evident, with the heavy selling at the close and stiffness of the price. which had never 'vsvered as block after block was thrown on the market. that some pow. erfuI interest as well had taken cog nizance of the fact that the morrow  was hoodoo-day. At the close. most of the sellers. had they been granted another five minutes. would have re- purchased. even at a loss. what they had sold. for it looked as though they had sold themselves into a trap.

He had evidently received reenforcements in the form of renewed orders from his principals. Many of the faces that frfnged the inner circle of that crowd were fright full to look upon, some white as though just lifted from hospital pill lows. others red to the verge of apo plexy-all strained as though await ing the coming of the jury with a life or death verdict They an knew that Bob had sold more than hun dred thousand shares of Sugar upon which the profits must De more than s4.ooo. .ooo Would hs resume selling or vss he throushf Was 1t short stoek. which must bs bought back. or long stock: and if IonE whose stcckf Were the insiders selling out on one another. or were thev a1 selling to- gether, snd under cover of Barry Con ants movements vers Csnsnsyer s1t Standard or emptyins thsir bag preparatory 0 De slaughter of the WsxhinTtss co1tf.Es1t, An thess cue<tio.s were ru<tlnE thro1xh ths he>ts q ikzt eroxz e erckzz nks

Next day the Sugar bulls had the center of the stock exchange stage All day long they tossed Sugar from one to another, as though each thou sand shares had been wisp of hay instead of 200000-for soon after the opening it scared to 200 The "sys- tem's" cohorts were in absolute con trol, with Barry Conant never min ute away from the Sugar-pole. always on the alert to steer the course of price when they threatened to run away on the up or the down side. It was evident to the expert readers of the tape that the system was car. rying it's steed for an exceptionally brilliant run. Ike Bloomenstein, the Avenger Fiend, who for 40 years had kept close track of every movement on the floor, and who would bet any thing, from his Fifth avenue mansion to his overripe boardroom straw hat, that all stocks and movements were as strictly subject to the law of aver ages as are the tides to the moon and sun, remarked to Joe Barnes, the loan expert:

Barry Conants gaff that afternoon a few weeks before. never saw him cooler, calmer. more self-possessed. He was the incarnation of confident power. cold. cynical smile played around the corners of his mouth as he looked down upon his opponent
 The effect upon Barry Conant was different from that of Bob's last bid on the day when Beulah Sands hopes went skyward in dust. It did not rouse in him the wild. furious desire for the onslaught that he showed then, but seemed to quicken his alert, prolific mind to exercise all its cum ming I think that in that one mo- ment Barry Conant recalled his suspi- cions of the day before, when he had wondered what Bob's presence in the crowd meant, and that he saw again the picture of Bob on the day when he himself had ditched Bob's treasure train. He hesitated for just the frac- tion of second. while he waved with
 ightling-like rapidity a set of finger signals to his lieutenants. Then he squared himself for the encounter
 "25 for 5000 Cold, cold as the voice of condemning judge rang Bob's Sold" '25 for 5000" Sold" "25 for 5000" Sold" Their eyes were fixed upon each other. in Barry's de- liant glare, in Bob's mingled pity and contempt. The rest of the brokers hushed their own bids and offers un- til it could have truthfully been said that the floor of the stock exchange was quiet an almost unheardof thing in like circumstances Again Barry Conant's voice, "25 for 5000" Sold" "25 for 5000" Sold" Barry Conant had met his master Whether it was that for the first time in all his won- derful career he realized that the system" was to meet it's Nemesis, or what the cause, none could tell, perhaps not even Barry Conant him. self, but some emotion caused his olive face for an instant to turn pale, and give his voice a tell-tale culver. Once more pealed forth '25 for 5000" That Bob saw the pallor, that he caught the quiver, was evident to all, for the instant his sold" rang out he followed it with 5000 at "A, 23, 22, 20." Neither Barry Conant nor any of his lieutenants got in a take it." although whether they wanted to or not was an open question until Bob allowed his voice to dwell just like a pendulum swing of time on the 20. It was as if he were tantalizing them into sticking by their guns. By the time he paused. Barry Conant's nerve was back, for his piercing Take 1t" had linked to 1t 20 for any part of $10,000." The bid was yet on his lips when Bob's deep voice rang out

no sign of what was going on behind it. The same cynical smile that had been there since the opening still played around the corners of his mouth as he squared himself in front of his opponent All knew now that he was not through. Barry Con ant had evidently decided to force the fighting, although more cautiously than before. "67 for a thousand" One of his lIeutenants bid 67 for 500. another 67 for 300. and as Bob had not yet shown his intention of meet ing their bids. s7 for different amounts was heard all over the house. Bob might have been tossing a metal coin to decide the advisabiIity of buying back what he had sold; he might have been adding up the bids as they were made. He said nothing for fraction of a minute, which to those tortured men must have seemed like an age Then with a wave of his hand, as though delivering a benediction. he swept the circle with . cold-blooded: Sold the lots. b.6o0 in all.
