Little Theatre Idea Spreads

= iVih Aht New 1Ofk Herald.
lhe craze for little theaters is spread
ing rapidly throughout this country. They
are already to be found in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia and another
VIII soon be openeds with a producing
stock company in Los Angeles. In many
cases these miniature play houses are
merely the hobbies Of wealthy amateurs,
but there is no reason why some of them
should not succeed in the hands of ex-
perieneed managers. especially IL they
are not too small TO hold an audience
that will pay expenses.
New York's most famous theatres have
been large ones as Il rule Booths thea
tire. Wallaok's, Daly's, the Union Square
and the Grand Opera house all had a
great seating capacity. Harrigan and Hart
became famous I'm small house far down
in Broadway and dissolved partnership in
a larger one further uptown. The San
Francisco minstres were prosperous for
many years In small hall up one flight
of stairs in Broadway. The Madison
Square theatre and the Fourth Avenue
lyceum were both popular in their day.
But not one of those old-time houses
was as small as the little theatres that
have lately come into fashion. These are
admirably adapted to the so-cs lied "in-
innate drama, and not every one Of our
playwrights has learned the art of writ
ing plays of that class. That is why
they are so often given over to the
works of foreigners.

SOME FRESH LONG
BUYING IN COTTON
Inspired by Bullish View of
Census Supply and Dis
tribution Figures

New York, February IA bullish view
of the census supply and distribution fg-
ures today seemed to inspire some fresh
long buying in cotton, and there was also
moderate demand from trade sources.
Advances were held in check. however,
by realizing for over the weekend, while
general business was probably restricted
to some extent by the storm. Late posi-
tions were relatively duh and easy, is
the bulk of the fresh buying went into old
crop months, and the market closed
on the old and from to points lower
on the new crop deliveries.
Cables were disappointing, and the mar
ket opened steady at a decline OF
points TO an advance of l point, but soon
worked upward. The opening prices
showed an advance of about Is points
from the low level of last Monday and
attracted good deal of profit taking by
recent buyers but after some irregu-
larity May contracts sold up to L. Ole, or
points over yesterdays close.
Subsequent fluctuations were more or
less irregular and closing prices were a
shade off from the best. The census re-
port showed domestic mills consumption
540,S14 bales for January, a total larger
than any on record for the month. and
exceeded only once in the history of the
reports, namely. last October, when the
consumption was 542,S09 bales. Domestic
mill stocks of 1851, 1896 bales at the end of
January, compared with 1.9l2, ,99S bales
last year, and was considered equal to a
little less than four months require

SALES BR|NG'
ABOUT WHEAT RALLY
Corn and Oats Virtually
Close Unchanged-Re-
ceipts Large

Chicago. February 14.--Export sales,
which were said to have reached large
total. brought about rally today in
wheat. The market. after having shown
declining tendency most of the day.
wound up steady at the same price as
last night to a shade off. Corn and oats
also closed virtually unchanged In pro-
visions the outcome was a setback of %
to 221f points.
Buying of wheat for European ship
ments took place chiefly here and at Du-
luth The bullishness was about evenly
divided between the two cities. and did
not receive any publicity until near the
end of the session. Previously the mar
ket had been depressed by continued snow
falls in the winter crop region and by
reports of rain throughout the central
provinces of India. Moreover. receipts
for the week at Chicago were the largest
in five years during this part of the sea-
son.
Estimates that country elevator stocks
northwest had been depleted 100000 bush
els since February l, helped the late re-
covery. There were also statements that
much of the wheat in Montana had been
sold to go to the Pacific coast.
Corn swung upward when wheat de-
veloped returning strength. At first,
however. the corn market was heavy.
owing to overnight offers having failed
to attract eastern buyers Prime wealth.
er for shelling and hauling counted also
against the bulls.
In oats the trading consisted chiefly of
hedging against rural purchases.
Hogs prices at a higher level gave a
lift to provisions. Stock yards inter-
ests led the buying.

New Orleans. February lathe week
end session in the cotton market de-
Neloped great steadiness as the result
OF the bullish showing OF statistics on
consumption this country and reports
of Improvement in the spot demand in

market was held down by profit taking

but the net change for the day was a
gain of points nevertheless.
Considerable short covering was

showing consumption OF 54o,s7i bales
OF cotton in this country In January

The markets inertia discouraged specu-

Central leather continued the advance
begun yesterday and Runely rose
strongly on the report that the note
holders committee was meeting with sue

The early advance was all but cancelled

unimportant.

today by circumstantial report that

of his higher assistants in the treasury.
At the department 1t was said by some

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, February 14.-Whie It was
quiet week in the cotton market a
good tone was preserved and prices closed
at net gain over last week of is to %
points. Short lowering in rather large
volume and moderate fresh long buy
ing contributed to the advance.
The highest prices of the week were
made on Saturday and the lowest on
Monday At the highest the trading
months were IS to 27 points over last
weeks close; at the lowest they were I
to IA points under. The range was 25
to 80 points.
A better feeling in the spot markets
of the south. a smaller movement into
sight, increased mill takings and larger
consumption of cotton by American mills
during the month of January as com
pared with the months preceding and
the same month last year were the main
bullish influences of the week. On the
bear side much was made of the large
stocks at ports and interior towns and
of the large supplies of low grade cot
ton still for sale
In the spot department prices gained
five-sxteenths of cent. mddling clos
ing at 13 cents against 70 11-16c last
week and u 9-16c this week last year.
Sales on the spot amounted to 649 bales
against 1902 last week and 1851 this week
last year; sales to arrive amounted to
4721 bales, against 66T last week and 1888
this week last year.
