The Theaters

Charles B. sHanford and company
gave an excellent performance of "The
Merchant of Venice" at the Majestic
theater last evening. Mr.. Hanfords s
productions are notable in careful at
tention to detail and "The Merchant OF
Venice" is one of the best of Mr.. Han
ford's repertoire in this respect. "The
Tanning of the Shrew' will be given
tonight, with Mr.. Hanford in the role
of Petruchio, "OtheIIo'' tomorrow night
and "The Winters Tale" Saturday
night.
The advance sale Of seats for ''ATrs
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" indicates
that the play has not lessened in pop
ularity since it was last produced in
Los Angeles.
In spite of the threat of rain in the
sky last evening every theater in the
city played to excellent business A
steady improvement in business at the
play houses has been noticeable since
the holidays.

no safeguard for choosing and retain
ing the best employees and getting rid
of the inefficient or faithless ones can
be neglected without great loss to the
city. This is only the business side Of
the matter-the moral side is even
more to be considered.
"Then go on with your special cleo
tions for the initiative, the recall and
the referendum, and for your primary
nominations, and you can be sure that
no matter what they cost they will be
far and away cheaper than crooked or

gram committee to secure for the con-
stituency for whom it caters artistes
of such rare attainment as the Pasmore
trio, whose appearance before the Fri

anticipated by all whose good fortune
it has been to hear them.
Like birds of passage, the PasmOre
sisters tarried in Los Angeles a few
days last fall and were heard at an in
formal studio reception given by Mrs.
Jones' Simmons, and also following a
dinner at the Gamut club, where they
were guests of honor. The reception
accorded them by the musicians who
listened to their almost haWleSs en-
Semble work was like an ovation, and
there is no question that a rare delight
is in store for the Friday Morning club
at its session tomorrow.

ter, who reviewed Charles L. Eastlake's s

''Why is the Renaissance the strong

was answered by Mrs. w. w. Stilson
in a paper showing great familiarity
with the subject. Mrs. Ella Hubbard

stancing the homes of A. T. Stewart,
the Astors and the Vanderbilts and
many others, illustrating her point of
view with pictures.

hope of reaching the city in time for
the performance was to walk to the
end of the car line. Mr.. Darlington,
coated from. head to foot with Shiny
mud in his attempts to start the car,
gallantly carried the girls to the mid
ole Of the road and pointed out the way
to Los Angeles They forthwith gath
cred up their skirts and proceeded to
hike. The last two miles they covered
perched on the top Of truck garden

and foot sore, they rushed into the
dressing room, threw con their stage
clothes and pranced merrily through
the opening ballet.

MARKET NEWS'
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Oct 22.-The stock mar. lNet today repeated it's action of sev- cral days preceding Heavy selling pressure was in evidence, while the foreign stock exchanges were in ses. sion. When closing time abroad had arrived owing to the difference in time between the points and New York, this pressure subsijed and made way for some recovery in spots.
 The dominant influences in all finan- cial markets continued to be the Lon. don money position, as directed by the Bank of England action.
 The rise in private discount rates in London proved that the Bank of England found the power to make it's higher rate effective and to maintain it's control Of the open money market.
 The money market here was not unaffected by these developments, es. pecially the time loans department. How the weeks operations in the for eign exchange market may have af. fected the loan item will be studied with great interest on the appearance of the bank statement after the close of tomorrows stock market.
 This doubtful factor may have had to do with the fresh selling of stocks late in the day, which closed the mar. ket weak and at the lowest.
 The bonds We're heavy Total sales, par value, $3,310000.
 United States bonds unchanged on call.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Bullsh senti, ment controlled the wheat market to. day and there was a scur1-ying of shorts to cover. December closed 1M higher and the other futures were 5-s above yesterdays final figures. Corn ranged higher, with oats tending in the same direction 10 a lesser degree. Provisions showed no special charact. CT and closed 5c lower to 10c higher.
 December wheat was the focal point of the market here and in the north. west and 1t advanced appreciably over May. December shorts stampeded as the market rose and some of the longs took profits on the bulges.
 Premiums of cash wheat, which in the northwest cleaned up at a Ac ad. vance, boosted the market and flour sales were correspondingly large. The market closed strong.
 General unsettled weather forecast throughout the corn belt contributed. together with the jump in wheat, to strengthen the corn market.
 Oats followed the other grains.
 Unloading by January longs kept down the higher range of the pro. visions manket, which showed symp toms of advancing in sympathy with the grains. Receipts were more than a week ago today. but materially less than for the corresponding day last year.
 Pork stood unchanged to 12 1-2c higher, with lard and ribs in the main Sc higher at the close.
