America's Finest Opera Company
 Coming.

Joseph F. Sheehan, the celebrated tenor, does not need any introduction During the years that he was the leading tenor of Henry w. Savage's companies he gained the reputation of Americas greatest tenor, and his praises have been sung in every part of the country During the past four years at the head of his own company he has added to lis glory, and the Sheehan English Opera Company is today known as the finest opera company singing in the English language.
 Not satisfied with all this the grea, tenor determined to do what has never been done before; make an all star production of Bohemian Girl the most popular opera in tas realms of music. With this end ln view he picked from his various ar tists those best equipped for the diff ferent roles in the Bohemian Girl. with the result that critics have stat. ed that never before has the per formance of "Boaemian Girl' beer given to equal that of the Sheehar Opera Company this year.

The weather map reflected much rain in the cotton bels and the forecast promised rain again in every state in the south. Complaints from the belt over the backwardness of new crop prepara- tions stimulated buying. At the end of the half hour prices were 12@24 points over yesterdays close.
 Reports from nearly all sec,lons ol the belt were to the effect that the new crop can not now, help getting a very late start. Along with such re- ports was the news of greatly inn proved spot demand at the basis of the season, which 1t was claimed was being met by very scanty offerings Many points in the interior stated that the best part of their stocks was already owned by buyers.
