prices. which ranged from unchanged
figures to y lower, with January 1.279
and May 1.25, were followed by a lit
tie further decline and then something
of a rally.
Oats paralleled the action of corn.
good deal of attention was given to
the prospect of liberal receipts when
railroad conditions improved.
Absence of buying orders gave
downward slant to provisions. Cur
tailment of the hog supply seemed to
be regarded as merely transient.
Offerings of provisions became scarce
after midday and the decline was more
than overcome.
Exhaustion of contract corn stocks
here led later to an advance which for
a while carried January delivery to
within q of the maximum price. The
close was unsettled at the same as yes
terday's finish to 1sal4 lower. with Jan

} he held at Fox's theater Tuesday
evening, May and all reports indi-
cate that the affair Is to be a tre-
mendous success, both from a f1nan-
cial and a musical standpoint
1t is not often that the public has
the privilege of combining entertain
ment and patriotic duty and the
spirit in which the people of New
Britain have responded to the oppor-
Unity to support the local Red Cross,
boost the town, and hear a splendid
concert at one and the same time
does them great credit and is very
gratifying to those who are in charge
OF the concert. The use of the thea
ter has been donated by the William
FOX circuit of theaters and the en-
TIRE proceeds of the concert over
what actual expenses there are will
De turned over to the New Britain
chapter Of the American Red Cross
society and If the house is sold out
as expected a considerable sum of
money will be realized. Just about
twelve hundred seats have already
been disposed of and inasmuch as
this will be the only musical event
spring in all probability the Stand
ing Room Only sign will have to
be displayed the night of the con-
cert. The program will be taken
care Of by the New Britain Choral
society, directed by F. r. I.aubin.
who will be assisted by Paul Alt
house, tenor, of the Metropolitan
Opera company of New York, Lucy
Isabelle Marsh, soprano, of the Victor
Opera company, Nellie Carey Revn-
olds, contralto, of Hartford Freder-
lex w. Latham, baritone of New
Britain, and the same selected or
chestra of thirty-five pieces which did
such splendid work at the spring fes-
tival concert last year under the di-
rection of Robert Prutting of Hart
ford.
Paul Althouse is the leading Amer
tcan tenor before the public todav
He has only been available for con-
cert work since the close of the opera
eantata 1.-The Swan and the Sky
work since the close of the opera
season in New York, but since then
has been billed to appear in several
De the musical festivals to be given
during the next two months in the
larger cities. Mr.. Althouse is very
popular and the demands for his
services are so very great that New
Britain Is fortunate in having an OPP
portunity to hear him.
The beautiful lyric soprano voice
of Lucy Marsh is probably known to
more music lovers of this country
than that of any other American ar
list. Her song records are tremen-
dously popular and she is received
All CT
appears. Miss Marsh's voice with its
liquid bird-like charm is particularly
suited to the part of the skylark in
the cantata and this, her first an
pearance in New Britain, will be
&c gerly anticipated.
Miss Reynolds and Mr.. Lathan
have both sung many times here
where they are very popular and
where their fine voices are very much
appreciated.
