Ainstrelsy at its best is exempli-
fed by the Price and Bonelli Greater
New York Minstrels, which will ap-
pear at the Opera House Friday night,
January 12. This company is known
as an organization of merit, which is
proving itself to be an attraction for
the average playgoer who enjoys good
singing and dancing and good hearty
laugh. The children, too, are not for
gotten. as they always enjoy the mar
velous feats of the acrobats and Jug
glers. The Price and BonelE company
numbers thirty performers, all white,
who have been selected for their ablli-
ty as minstrel artists Of merit; sin
gers, dancers, comedians, musicians
and novelty artists vie with each 9TH
er to make the performance bright
and entertaining. Good comedy is a
prominent feature of the programme,
and has justly earned for Price and
Bonellis minstrels the title of the
Big Laughing Show. The production
is all new; scenically and artistically
brilliant, and is known to present a
good, clean show, free from vulgarity.
A grand parade, with the band an en-
tire company will be given at noon;
also, concert in front Of the theatre
at 7:30 D. M, free to the public.

was in a state Of seige over there

the strike but said Mr. Gossett was very
determined about what he called hav-
ing the seige around the Brogon mill,
and that he wouldn't agree TO do any
thing or promise to have any meeting
or anything else without the pickets
that the union have placed around the
mill being removed. Then he said it
might be that Mr.. Gossett would
agree to start a part of the mill, claim
ing the mill could not raise money to
start all Of it at once, which thought
was a plan to start part of the mill
so the national union would with
draw their support from the operative es
of the Brogon mill, and then they
could work what they wanted to and

Daily Stock Letter,

[Unted Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Trading in today's stock market
was lighter than in any previous SEES
sion this week. The course of the
price movement through the fore
noon was highly irregular. with a
few outstanding strong and weak
spots. Generally speaking. the rails
were again under heavy pressure,
although at intervals there appeared
to be a better demand for many Of
those issues than has been apparent
for several days past.
Up to midday there was little net
change in the industrial list. Trad
ing died away as usual, although
prices in the early afternoon tended
to stiffen gradually. United States
Steel was illustrative Of the rise and
fall OF the standard shares. That
issue opened Il down at 10eN, adj
vanced to 1908. sold as low as 109ss
and then moved up again to 110as.
The motor stocks were in fair de-
mand at rising prices.
