REVIEW OF THE
STOCK MARKET
Prices Firm as Shorts Re.
tire-Bank Surplus Up
Loans Less.

The short interest was subjected to
renewed attack i'm yesterdays market.
with the result that prices were firm
and fractional gains general at the
close. Trading was restricted i'm vol
ume and again mainly professional.
The London market, though dull,
gave irregularly higher prices for
American securities. and the opening
here was at fractional advances from
Fridays final figures. Prices rose in
the early trading, reacted slightly at
the end Of the first hour then hard
ened. and weakened a little at the
close. Specialties were prominent and
wide changes were made on small
transactions in such comparatively in
active stocks as Homestake Mining,
Delaware & Hudson. Louisville &
Nashville National Biscuit and Pitts
burgh. Cincinnati, Chicago & st. Louis.
Smelling and Refining and Westing-
house made substantial gains.
New Haven was weak, contrary TO
the course of the market. depressed by
the report that the Department of Jus
tice would require the road to divest
itself of its wharfage properties and
waterfront terminals. This water
front control was an important part OF
the roads former policy to monopolize
the transportation by rail and water of
Southern New England. The stock
| declined over > points, closing a frac-
ton higher.
United States Express made up its
loss of Thursday and added another
point on the overnight news of the
vote of its directors to retire from
business. This decision, resulting from
reduction in rates by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and increased
competition by the parcel post makes
the stock now sell on a liquidating
basis, some 80 points higher than when
it was being traded in as that of a
going concern.
North American shares continued to
rise, though the General Electric de-
MED the report widely circulated that
it was TO purchase control Of the
company. The oliver Chilled Plow
Works denied the rumor that it was
considering the purchase of the Rune
ly Company, whose peculiar note ex-
tension policy has been subjected to
so much adverse criticism. Rumely
shares were erratic on small transac-
tons. the common losing over point
and the preferred advancing 3. Rail
way Steel Spring, whose profits have
started discussion of increased divi-
/ dends, advanced over point.
The bank statement was much more
1 favorable than had been expected
loans being contracted toward the end
of the week, so that in the actual
statement of this item they showed a
decrease for the first time since early
! in January. Larger cash holdings
were the result of better gains in cur
rency from the interior and the cessa-
| ton Of the gold export movement to
France. The statement of the actual
conditions showed a gain in surplus

SAYS HUERTA SHOULD
have been RECOGNIZED

Ellis ID. Frigar, a son of John Fri
gar. of BOothwyn. Pa. recently re-
turned home for a short vacation
after two and one-half years spent
in Mexico, where he is employed as
superintendent of a pumping station
for the Husteca Petroleum Company,
at LaLega a short distance from Tam
pico. During the entire trouble in
Mexico Mr.. Frigar way in the danger
zone and has had many thrilling adj
ventures.
He says that the revolutions are
simply mems lust for power and that
they will continue until there is de-
cided change in the hearts and ideals
of the leaders of the Mexican people.
Mr.. Frigar asserts that from his
own experience and from the knowl-
edge that he was able to gain at
close range. a great mistake was
made by the American government
in not recognizing the Huerta gov
ernment. Huerta was a strong man
and his government would have been
stable Had it been recognized all

ayerted and HIerta would have been
able 10 crush his enemies.

BABY SHOW AT PLAYHOUSE.

Probably the most unique feature ever
used in connection with a theatrical per
formance in this city will be the baby
show which Manager Allemann has ar
ranged for at The Playhouse in connec-
tion with "Baby Nine" which will be
played there next week. There will be
gold prizes for the prettiest, second
prettiest and third prcttiest babies and
the entry list will close on Monday
evening at o'clock. The contest is
limited TO babies not over one year old.
Each person who enters a baby will
send a photograph to the theatre. Each
photograph will be numbered and all
the photographs received will be placed
on exhibition in the lobby of the theatre
There will be a ballot box placed there
and each person purchasing a ticket will
be entitled to vote for the prettiest
baby. In this way there can be no
favorites. The contest will last through
ont the week. II Is expected that it
will result in the biggest exhibition OF
photographs of pretty babies ever made
in Wilmington. The baby contest is
expected to attract unusual attention.
Another contest will be held in "liaby
Mine" ANY person who can keep from
laughing during the entire performance
will be given box for cover Night" i"
the show which viii follow "Baby
Nine IL is expected this will be a
hard prize to win.

ATTRACTIONS
At The Theatres
aSINNERS.1

The company with Alice Brady in
sinners" is making new friends each
day at The Playhouse. Wilmington
has never before seen an attraction of
this character at such remarkably low
prices "Sinners" will open an engage
ment at The Playhouse in New York
on Wednesday next for an indefinite
run and the prices there viii be three
times what is being charged at The
Playhouse. Wilmington is certainly be-
ing offered a dramatic treat during the
holidays. There will be matinees and
evening performances each day for the
remainder Of the week, except that the
matinee will be omitted today. The
show is entirely out Of the ordinary and
Wilmington has not seen better com
pany than the Brady Players. Today
there will be no matinee in order that
the company may rest.
The attraction for next week will be
"Baby Mine" There is no question
that Baby Mine" is one of the very fun
niest shows which has ever been written
and in the hands of the capable COM
pany which will present it the theatre
going public will find something which
is in every way as attractive as the
one now being presented. Wilmington
has never had a season of stock which Is
the equal of this in any respect and the
theatre ought to be filled at every per-
formance. William A. Brady is giving
Wilmington bargain season of drama
and it is very doubtful il he ever al
lowed company cf this calibre to play
before at anything like the low prices
which are now being charged at The
Playhouse and Wilmington ought to
take advantage of the opportunity.

proud to be associated with such a
splendid army of fellow officers and

But to produce a thing so big and
fine involves many sacrifices. The

AT THE GARRICK.

The strongest acting in vaudeville
seen here in long time is that in the
new act of Blanche Walsh, which is
being given its premiere at the Garricls
Theatre this week, marking the entry
of Miss Walsh in the varieties. The act,
as has been stated, is condensation of
the drama, "The Woman in the Case"
and it is the general opinion of those
who have seen il that it has been ad-
mirably done, both as to the framing OF
the act and as to the work of the com
pany. which is particularly strong and
in keeping with the Blanche Walsh
standard. Miss Walsh is assisted by
Marie Horton, jerome Bruner, Lawrence
Sterner, Sydney Rigg, w. NJ. Travers
and AL Corlne, all of whom are expert
enced in dramatic work. 1t is intensely
interesting and is making a big hit
