THEATRICAL

On last Saturday night Pullman
was visited by one of the best musical
comedy satires that has struck the
town this season. THE Sunny Side
of Broadway" in all Its pomp and
splendor held the boards at the Au-
ditorium and is well deserving of
the slogan that nifty song show"
The show was we'll received by the
large audience and every song, of
which there were many, was a hit in
itself. The most catchy air and the
one that has the dash and swing of
good musical comedy was Every
Town Has Postoffice and a Wise,
Wise Gal" The leading role was
carried by Miss Marie Montrose in
which part she was charming. Max
Bloom. as Abbey Tiredheimer he
brew, carried the leading male part,
and with Michael O'Toole and Hen
messy O'Brien, bricklayer and hod-
carrier respectively, kept the large
audience in an uproar of laughter
from start to finish. The show which
was very much "Cohanish" in its
makeup left a good impression on
Pullman's theatre-going public.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, April 2l.--Extreme confusion of
the speculative temper was caused by the ac-
ton OF the stock market during the earlier
part of today and the result was a declining
tendency in the dealings and the adoption OF a
waiting attitude to see what the mysterious
movement might pretend. suspicion OF mahipu-
lative purpose In some OF the most obvious
movements increased the feeling of doubt and
uncertainty.
Alternating declines and advances kept the
market in such wavering state as Is rareiy
witnessed. Some of the early selling OF STOCKS
was reported as coming openly from sources
credited with leading the advancing movement
The suspicious trading element saw IN TINS
selling n bull device to take the market away
from the bears and to force the latter to sell
short at low figures
The bears, instead Of taking courage from
this appearance of liquidation OF long STOCK
therefore took alarm and bought to cover their
short contracts At the period when prices
were advancing there was an equally suS-
picious scrutiny of the selling and signs tnat
long stock coming out would be tolowed
by quick reaction. Announcement OF plans TOT
n summer trip abroad by u. II. Hartman ana
modified restrictions on the Erie bond issue
by the New York public service commission
were unexpected Developments The rumors
regarding Mr. Harrlman's health caused some
selling of shares In the companies with Whcn
he is most closely associated. The erect on
Union Pacific was pronounced ana the WeaH-
ness of New York Central was also traceaple
10 the large expectations that have been formed
of the effects to be looked for from Mr.. Har-
rimans future activities in the management
of that railroad. 49,, =
Relaxed requirements to be complied with by
the Erie to secure permission for the proposed
bono issue were considered sufficient TO insure
the success of a proposed financial PLAN me
Erie stocks responded and there was some
sympathetic effect in other parts OF the hst. a
special source Of speculative CONFUSION was
the arratic fluctuations in Reading.
There was considerable comment on the TAX
ing of gold here for shipment TO Holland a
very unusual proceeding. 1t was inferred from
this gold movement that Dutch investors In
American securities attracted by the high leVei
of prices here had been sending home their
holdings to market. The incident made de-
cided Impression on speculative sentiment pc
cause OF the substantial character attrlputeu
TO the Dutch financial insight.
A decline in the sterling exchange rate az
Paris was towards the point calling for gold
exports from New York. but the sterling ex-
change rate here made compensatory decline
Weather conditions here were move favorable
on grain crop prospects and anxiety was less
acute over the fate of the winter wheat crop.
Bonds were irregular Total sales, par value.
HT2OOo. Government bonds were unchanged
