active. while territories have moved
moderately well
The new wool clip has attracted the
greatest attention OF the trade, the

center OF ATTRACTIONS, Dealers have
shown more aggressive attitude to-
wards the new wool than hitherto,
contracting quite generally in the sec
ton around Soda Springs and paying
for one clip, IL is said, better than II
cents. Some buying Is being done in
Ohio and Michigan, but on a more
limited scale, Is and is cents for
medium and fine woods being the re-
spective ruling prices.

Commissio men reported no change
in prices this morning. Receipts OF
both dressed calves and live poultry
were next TO nothing, but the demand
was no better than the supply and the
market was rather easy in tone. Old
potatoes are also a little easier at the
moment Butter and eggs are called
steady but there are indications that
the storage demand for eggs is get

her foot at the -whiskered Hen

reeling out OF the window, insults
her majesty the queen, and, to cap
the climax, dresses op as a boy to

tasteful alliance with King Louis, OF
France, or "old Louie" as she is

serious sort.
The Charles Brandon OF the play Is

GAYETY.

Rose Sydell, an old tavorite on the
burlesque stage, with her London
Bellies company, holds the boards In
the Gayety theater this week, and the
show Is fully up 10 the standard OF the
London Bellies attractions. The star
OF the performance Is Johnnie Weber,
who plays the conventional German
comedy part without with usual ex-
asgerations, though losing none OF the
effect. One can believe that they
would be able TO find something ike
him in real life.
Another very important feature OIL
the show Is the chorus, particularly
the broilers, VINO put a great deai
more than the usual vim and snap
into their work. The hit OF the chorus
numbers is Since Miss Salome Came
10 Town." led by virgie Royden. Inc
audience was enthusiastic about the
oriental touch introduced. Another
big number was Please Don't Get so
Cav" by Rose Sydell, Johnnie Weber
and the chorus. There Is plenty more
tuneful music in both acts.
The skit Is called THE Girl from
Sherry'sr but there Is considerable
difficulty in finding out why rn- 80

makes a speciality OF divorces.

examination his administration of the gen

and the numerous industrial concerns IN
which he and his associates were inter

II reckon he knew as much about it a

cornerstone of the defence's case In refuta

Mr. Moss brought out that CGmmns and
his associates had guaranteed paper right

money to them and their companies. Cum

the amount OF his private fortune never
added up the amounts he had previously
guaranteed before giving a fresh guaran
