never heard of the Austrian soprano,
and l prepared myself for any fate. AT
the signal for the second act an elder
ly man at my right turned to me and
said, with an air Of authority that i'm
pressed me forcibly: Now, young man,
you are going to hear something worth
while. I heard Sembrich in Vienna
last spring, and she is wonder"
Before the evening was over l was
ready to agree with him, and l have
never changed my opinion. She was a
wonder, and she has kept on being
wonder until now 1t is especially
wonderful that after these long years
Of almost constant employment her
voice has lost little Of it's brilliancy.
Melba's coloratura is gone forever, and
even the austere beauty of Eames'
voice is trif1e impaired, but the Vien-
ma songstress at middle age is still
mistress Of roulade, trill and cadenza.
There are at least two singers Of the
younger school who are fit successors
Of the great artists who have almost
lived out their public lives. One of
these is Olive Fremsted, an American
soprano who is climbing the ladder
with an agility that is little short OF
marvellous. With a voice that Is OF
real grand opera quality and a method
that Is as refined as 1t Is convincing,
she has already conquered her world
at the Metropolitan and seems des-
tined to a long and brilliant reign.
The other is Mile Gerville-Reache, a
young French contralto now In her
second season at the Manhattan. En-
dowed with a voice Of the rarest quail
~. instinct with sensuous charm, yet
noble and most delicate in expression.
this fortunate young singer must be
numbered among the worlds really
great artists.

This Is to be a notable season for the
retirement to private life of several
operate stars Of the first brilliancy.
Early in the autumn Marcella Sem
brich limited regretfully that her public
career was near, very near, its close.
A little later she made the unWelcOme
intelligence more definite by fixing the
actual date of her passing. 1t came as
a shock to her public, for never has
any one detected a flaw in the marvel
Gus fortuna which has entranced two
generations But the singer is wiser
than her public. She has recognized
the constantly increasing effort which
Is required to keep the signs of wear
out Of her exquisite voice. and she pre-
fers to leave behind her MarcelIa Sem
brich at her best. For quarter of
century she has been Gotham's cher

Is there to replace her? Admirable art

have thrilled the world for more than a

 Advance In Wheat
FiRMNESS IS DEVELOPED
Corn Advances Sharply, Due to Active Covering By Shorts, and Prices Hold Well-Oats and Pro-
 visions Close Steady.

Chicago, July S.-Further rains in the southwest, the bullish government corn report and unfavorable news from Argen- to ssQ1c higher. The close was firm, Ss6D1ac better than yesterday. Corn opened steady, AQasc higher on deferred options, and 1ac for July position. The close was 11kQ2e up. Oats were unchanged at the opening to 1sc higher and closed steady about lac up.
 Additional rains in the harvest belt caused firm opening in wheat, prices be- ing a shade lower to lac higher compared with the previous close. The market, how ever, broke sharply early in the day on liberal sales of the July delivery by To- cal longs, but soon rallied again on cov- ering by shorts. In the 15 minutes follow ing the posting of the government report the market developed moderate firmness, the official figures on the new crop being less bearish than expected in some quar- ters. Unfavorable crop reports from Mary land and Virginia and some bullish for eign advices. including reports of con- tinued drouth in Argentina were minor ldCtOrS lHaL Hdu d SITenStnenlnS eHeCt during the day. The report from Kansas indicated larger yields than usual.
 The feature of trade in corn was an advance. of more than 20 in the price of the July delivery, due to active cover ing by shorts based to a large extent on sharp bulge in cash prices. Corn was in demand by eastern shippers and prices ranged from 1c to Pc higher.
 The deferred months were inclined to drag owing to favorable crop reports.
 During the day the July option sold be- tween 671sc and 691ac. The close for July was 1sc lower to 1aq1ssc higher.
 Conditions in the oats pit were some what similar to those that existed in the corn market. The July delivery was ex- tremely cratic but the distant deliveries were inclined to weakness owing to re- ports from Southern Illinois which claimed that the crop had suffered only slight damage as a result of recent rain storms At the close prices were asc lower to asc higher than final quotations of yester- day.
 Provisions were weak at the start be- cause of loo to 15o decline in live hogs, but moderate support by local packers caused a steadier feeling during the final half of the session. At the close prices were 5c higher to 10c lower.

PARISH HANGS TODAY.
Decatur Negro Will Pay Penalty for
 Murder at Decatur.

Decatur, July S.-(Special )-Jim Parish, a negro, Is to hang tomorrow at Il clock for the murder of Lem Lane, another negro, some three years ago. Up until the last two days Parish has been very talk ative and has frequently said he would not hang. Now he has broken down and Is spending his time praying, and at times he breaks completely down and cries.
 The history of Parishs case is one that perhaps does not have a parallel in the entire country While under sentence of death he escaped twice from the county jail here, and each time was recaptured. The last escape was last Tuesday, only few minutes after Gov.i B. B. Conner had signed respite giving Parish an- other week to live, while the governor n- vestigated the charge against him with view to committing his sentence to life Imprisonment. After hearing of Parishs escape Tuesday, Governor Conner with drew the respite which he had but short time before signed, and on which the ink was hardly dry. Therefore, Parish will be hanged tomorrow morning at Il o'clock.

OFFERINGS GOBBLED UP

New York, July S.-The cotton market recovered part of yesterdays loss dur ing the days trading owing to less fav- orable weather reports, and while late fluctuations were somewhat nervous and irregular the close was steady at a net ad- vance of to 10 points The market opened firm at an advance of 5 to F points on better cas~s than looked for and reports that heavy rains had fallen In parts of the eastern and central belts. After selling about 10 to 12 points net higher right after the call, the market eased off or points under renewal of heavy realizing and local bear pressure. but when the detailed weather reports be- gan to come in showing that precipitation. had been rather more general and heav- fer than suggested by the early map, the market again rallied on covering by those who sold early for turn and rebuying by sold-out bulls. This advance carried October contracts up to 12.2Sc, and De- cember to 35c, or about 15 to 19 points net higher, but was followed by increas- Ing nervousness and irregularty, as each bulge seemed to bring out a larger volume of realtzL-5. Offerings were well ab- sH@5ed on scale-down, but last prices were some to 10 points below the best Of the day. Southern spot markets were unchanged to 1sc higher Reports of high CT temperatures in Texas, where wet weather would be desirable, helped the midday advance, while the eastern belt forecast was for continued local showers or rain in sections where warm, dry weather is supposed to be needed.

A STOCK MARKET
 IS STILL INACTIVE Government Crop Report Has
 No Effect Upon Prices DECLINES ARE GENERAL Expansion in Iron and Steel Gives Strength to Industrlals But Other
 Stocks Show No Disposl-
 ton To Advance.

New York. July s.-The lethargy of speculation was strikingly demonstrated by the sluggish response today to the highly important government report of July 1 condition of the cereal crops. Evi- dently this was partly due to the plain predictions of the favorable character of the report which came for several days from official state reports and from trust worthy private estimates. This gave op- portunity for the speculation to anticipate the government report. From the action both of the stock and cereal markets, after the appearance of the report, 1t ap- peared that this preliminary action had been overdone, and the realizing move ment forced prices in direction contrary to the sgnification of the crop figures as a consequence.
 Thus 1t happened that prices of stocks declined and grains advanced on a pre- diction that promises a cereal crop ex- ceeding in value any ever before produced in the country. The promised yield of corn rising to 3.1s1, ,174, GOO bushels reaches above the 3000,0O0,000 bushel mark for the first time in the country's history. This gives assurance of an enormous tonnage to be moved by the railroads, and in that way Is or primary importance to the hold- CTS of railroad securities. The oats crop also, which with an indicated yield of 962. 33,000 bushels, comes to within 100000 bushels of the country's largest crop.
 The condition of wheat, while promising a crop considerably below the bumper crop, shows the winter wheat so far inn proved as to have made up in large part the earlier deficiency and to have brought the yield well above the 10-year average. The indicated total wheat crop of 663, ,500, 900 bushels, estimated on the basis of the high prices reported today, promises so profitable return to the country's ag ricultural interests as to afford a substan- tial guarantee for the countrys future prosperity, founded as that is on the welfare of the farming classes as start ing point.
 The great expansion in the production of iron and steel and their products, and the healthy state of that industry, indi cated by the firm prices maintained with this enlarged output, were an impressive exhibit of the prosperous progress of the country's great basic industry.
 The dropping course of prices of stocks in face of these important proofs of pros perity, both in the present and in the, prospective, was taken to show a predom- inant disposition on the part of holders of securities to sell stocks to realize profits when good news promised sustaining de- mand to facilitate this opinion. Today's such demand, and this fact gave rise to some anxiety on the part of holders who had bought stocks with the intention of

 Futures opened steady, to points above the close yesterday, as a result of high temperatures in the south west. Weather reports showed a continuance of the hot dry weather in that sec tion of the belt which has been in need of rain, and these reports would have brought about a much steadicr advance had 1t not been for bearish ad- vices from Liverpool. Cable reports of a drop in the English spot market and a more or less easier future market held in check the tendency of the New Orleans future market to seek high CT levels. Lack of rain In Texas, how ever, continued as the predominating feature of the market and prices held their own fairly we'll The local wealth CT bureaus forecast for showers in the northern portion of Texas tonigh t, served as a small bearish factor and retracted slightly from the bullish weather adviccs from Texas which had been posted earlier In the day Gains which were scored during the morning were partially wiped out during the afternoon. At the close, which was steady the market was to points above the close yesterday.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York July S-(Special.)-Fo the first time on this advance the cratic movement of the market appears to be of uncertain nature, due rather to insecurity than to temporary excess of supply. or demand. Prices seemingly have found a level to which the trade will slowly have to adopt itself If they are to be main tained. Constant buying will force an advance to any figure desired, but with the improvement comes the precariousness of the situation. Now the high prices appear vulnerable, later they may no longer appear even high. This lies in the development of trade conditions and the ability of spectators to hold their recent purchases. Weather conditions are not wholly satisfactory as yet. but the ad- vance has been so sharp that the trade Is restless.
