STORM SWt[PsIOVER
ATLANTA ABOUT THE
OPENING OF MOVIES

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. IA bitter
controversy broke in a storm this
morning over the practice of opening
many motion picture theatres every
Sunday this month for Christmas BEN
eft and charity performances.
For several Sundays past, including
.>esteday, the majority of the down
town picture theaters have been run
ming full blast, for charity, charging &
contribution at the door, instead of
selling tickets.
Sunday Bishop W. A. Gambler de-
nounced the practice, being particu-
larly bitter in his invective against
the proprietors of the picture thea
tiers. He compared them to Esau, to
Judas Iscariot, and number of equal
ly unsavory Biblical characters, de-
nounced them as hypocrites, asserted
that the charity end was simply a
cloak to make money under. These
show men profess for the poor, bus
it too plain for dispute that their
real concern is for their own peck.
est" He assuced them also of vio-
lating the laws of the state, and said
they ought to be punished He also
referred to the picture exhibitions in
general as "shoddy shows"
So much for one side of it.
The response of the picture theatre
proprietors is equally interesting.
They say that the bishops remarks
are in the first place a SANDER and in
the second place full of falsehoods,
which are either due to ignorance of
the facts or bigoted malice.
Proprietors of the leading theatres
came forward to show that they al
lowed their theatres to be opened on
Sunday reluctantly after first refus-
ing, and only after being begged again
and again by such charitable organiza-
tons as the Kings Daughters, var
ious branches of Womens clubs, the
Empty Stocking Fund, and similar
worthy charities. In numerous in
stances, they say, they have received
nothing for this but actual expense OF
lighting, electrical current, operators
and door men. In other cases, they
say the percentage the theatres have
received is merely nominal. They say
that they would much prefer to keep
their theatres closed on Sundays than
to open them for charity, so far as
the mere business aspect of it is con-
cerned.

GREAT UNEASINESS

Feeling In Wheat IL Irregular and
Course OF Market

CHICAGO. September 1.-THE feat
urc OF the wheat market to-day was
tho great uncasincSs shown by shorts
ana the heavy covering by that inter
est Some of the buying waa in tho
way or securing profits. but most OF It
showed losses. The feeling was quite
irregular and the course of the market
uncertain ON the hard spots in all OF
the futures the flood gates of commits
sion houses. as we'll rs some of the
larger elevator concerns, were thrown
wide open. and the result was heavy
price reccssions from the highest levels
The opening was as much as ste high
or when the market showed little cx-
element and little scarcity in the way
Of offerings. Buying power soon de-
vclopcd. however. and before the adj
vance was checked there were gains OF
3 TO 3 SIC with shorts swampcd and
eager to buy. The Increased offerings
carried the market downward rapidly
and tho days change showed September
resting at the same spot that of
Friday night. December up &c, and
May l-2c higher.
Western receipts Of wheat last week
showed net gains over the previous
week of 1901 900 bushels. These condi-
tons point to the fact that with ia
vorablc weather throughout the cOun-
try. tho farmers and others holding the
winter and spring wheat VIII sell 1t
freely. The cash transactions were dis
appointing at Chicago. amounting TO
only $1,000 bushels, while the seaboard
said that the bids there from abroad
were out of line. generally speaking.
although some sales of Manitoba were
made for shipment abroad.
Corn was irregular with the Sep
tcmbcr 5-Sc higher and the more de-
ferrcd months IS to 3-ic lower On the
advance in wheat there was more
strength shown In corn. Those on the
bear side of the corn market call at
tention to the fact that tho pastures
are in better shape for supplying cattle
with food than at any time in many
years, and this is reflected by the ar
rivals at the stockyards here of fat
grass-fed cattle from Western Canada.
Cash sales OF corn here were 10000
bushels.
oats closed with September 1-2c
higher, December unchanged. and May
Use better. The strength shown in this
grain was only temporary and was
mainly in favor of the strength in other
grains. Cash sales here were 10000
bushels.
There was light trade in tho market
for hog products and part Of the list
was shade higher while part of II was
trinc lower. There was some de-
maud for January ribs and October lard
by commission houses who sold the rest
Of the list.
