THE Merchant of Venice; Wednesday,
Much Ado About Nothing; Thursday,
Macbeth; Friday. Romeo and Juliet"
Saturday matinee, Twelfth Night, and
Saturday night, Hamlet"
Mr.. Sothern and Miss Marlowe have had
convincing proof during the past week
that they made no mistake in deciding on
a two-week stay in Washington. Large
and enthusiastic audiences have greeted
them at every performance with proofs
of the esteem in which they are held by
local playgoers.
This week will see the only presentation
Of Macbeth" to be given here. The re-
vival of Much Ado About Nothing" has
been heartily welcomed. 1t enlists the
services of Mr.. Sothern and Miss Mar

captivating roles in the Shakespearean
series. and it is destined to become one
Of the strongest bills in their repertoire.
Miss Manowe,. archly radiant as
Beatrice. shines to unusual advantage,
while Mr. Sothern carries his audience
back to the days when he was regarded
as one of the most finished light come
dams on the American stage, before he
had essayed the tragic roles of Shakes
peare.
The support Of the stars is excellent.

CLOSE IS FIRM IN COTTON AT ADVANCE Activity Shown in Market. Sharp Advance in Prices.
 Steady Cables

New York, April 1.-The cotton market was active today and there was a sharp advance in prices which made new high records for the movement, with Decem- Der contracts selling above Il cents On urgent covering and fresh buying inspired by spprehenslons of serious floods in the central belt. The close was firm at a net advance of from IS to 26 points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 2Ql4 points in sympathy with steady Liverpool cables There was enough re- allzing to cause som3 irreguarity right after tho call, particularly with the weather map favorable. but the flood situ- ation in the Mississippi valley, private estimates of a 20 per cent reduction in acreage and the western belt forecast for increasingly cloudy or unsettled condi- tions soon inspired active covering. The advance was checked around 1o.soc for July or about 16a17 points above the clos ing figures of yesterday by realizing, but shorts evidently continued very nervous and following reports from New Orleans that Ievees had broke below Memphis prices firmed up again.
 IfaulnB was partlCulhrly acllNe III the last hour, when the advance uncovered stop orders and the highest point was reached in the late trading when July sold at .S6c and December at 1l.02c. The close was only point or two off from the best under realizing. While trading was very active fresh business was un- doubtedly restricted by the holidays. as all the contract markets will be closed from today until Monday morning and Liverpool will remain closed until Tues day and the buying was supposed to be chiefly in the way of covering. Reports of a continued firm spot situation in the south, and rumors that the British coal mines might resume operations after tho holidays, probably added to the strength of the market. Tho talk around the ring. however, attributed the advance chiefly to scare of shorts over the reports of serious floods in the south Memphis was large buyer here during the day and it was reported that large Wall street and uptown shorts were covering.

TOPMOST LEVEL IS
 REACHED IN CORN
Prices Bounced Higher Than at Any Previous Time
 Since 1908

Chicago. April 4.-Corn bounced higher today than at any previous time since 1908 Excitement in the trade ran up to corresponding pitch with closing prices strong at the topmost level reached, o, ssa1Ac above last night. Wheat made a net gain of i4d11sc and oats l4qssc to &c.
 Tn hog products the outcome varied from 10c decline to a nickel advance.
 New investors bought corn freely on nimsy offerings despite the alarming fig ures the cereal was held. Unity became apparent in the fright of the short sellers and they saw in dismay the cash prices race ahead of the preferred future deliv- cry.
 The secret was that industries depend- ing on corn as raw material had bid in over night at what was thought to be remunerative limits. but fin most cases received no better response today than blank.
 The feeling in the pit seemed rather easier later on when fine weather was of fered. Recent buying was said to have been due to the prolonged winter feeding. The reports were believed overdone. The signs now are that the elevator and other powerful concerns were aDSorDing all ot- fers of any degree. This wrenched values suddenly against the bears. The market then had a severe test In the final hour,
 At St. Louis the sale of 100000 bushels of corn was reported as having been with out avail to prevent an upturn. Between the opening and the close fin Chicago May options ranged from 74Ac to 7s9sc, and fin- ished at the last named figures. 1lsQi1Ac higher as compared with A hours earlier.
 In wheat scattered crop damage reports supplemented by the strength in corn and by the fact that prices had declined con- tineously for five days, brought about a decided improvement. The assertions of damage to fall sown wheat came chiefly from northern Kansas and from south ern Illinois,.
 Improved demand at Liverpool, includ- ing cargoes from the Pacific coast of the United States.
 July ranged from 95ssc to 965sc. closing firm at s69sQ96s.c, a rise of 1Ac net.
 Hope that seeding was near at hand eased oats at the outset, but the corn bulge and the increasing call for cash grades hoisted the market as the session wore on. Upper and lower cost for May proved to be 55iac and 54Hc, with the close 5sa94c up at ,55ssc.
 The provisions market was practically bare of support. In the end prices aver aged about the same as last night. but mainly on account of the advances in
