IAN ADVENTURE IN HEARTS"
FEATURES ROBERT WARWICK

Major Robert Warwick, a screen
star since his discharge from the
Army, Ices considerable fighting IN
his new picture, "An Adventure in
Hearts," showing at the Dltmas Thea
tire. One~of his battles is particularly
violent and picturesque. In his role
as Captain Dieppe, an adventurer be-
ing detained by a foreign government
hazardous work, Warwick escapes
from the council chamber in which no
Is confined. He leaps up in the mid
die of the table of state, snatches one
of the officials swords, and cuts OH
the whiskers OF the Prime Minister,
then he proceeds to put all the folks
present out of the running, flooring
the guards and diving out of the
castle window into the moat below,
swimming to freedom.

mate of a sanitarium. Only she has
been satisfied to pass life in a pad
ded cell but has seized the cap and
insignia of a nurse and Is ministeTing
to the mentally sick. A roliCking
love story and lots of that unique Gish
humor are said to be entWined in the
plot, which gives disturbing Dorothy
ample opportunity to exhibit her
laugh-making wares.

ANOTHER ALL STAR SHOW
FOR CRESCENT THEATRE


The great thrills which are insep'
arabic from the motion picture work
of William Farnum have been given
in abundance in This stars latest
~photoplay. Evolves Of the Night"
which will be seen for the last time
here at the Crescent theatre today.
m of the most thrilling points
In the story, Is the great mine scene
where Farnum is imprisoned in a
mine through an explosion OF dyna-
mite intended to destroy him.
Another hair-rais.ng scene pre-
scented is a terrific fight by Farnum
and three men who have plotted his
ruin and have almost accomplished

The romantic element Is an i'm
portant factor In the play.

row and Saturday.
Friday and Saturdays program
also includes Elsie Ferguson in THE
Avalanche" She hated the sight of
a card or a roulette wheel as she
hated the sight of a venomous snake,
yet she cou d make no effort to re-
sist their call.
Then the avalanche of debts en-
quilted her, and made life a torture.
But there was one too fine and true
to desert her.

few exceptions the accumulated stocks
have been cleaned up.
There has been decline In Bessemer
pig iron. which Is quotable down $3.50 TO
SAT valley. the former price of S4S.50
being established in August and having
been of late only nominally the market.
The SAT price becomes quotable through
producing interest offering Bessemer
iron in 1000 ton lots. There was on sale
yesterday carload of Bessemer at that
price. Several merchant blast furnaces
In Western Pennsylvania and Ohio have
received suspensions and curtailments
from customers whereby those furnaces
have lower shipping requirements than
their capacity. which means that several
of them will be banked for a time.
Standard grade Connelsville furnace
coke was sold yesterday for spot ship
ment at SIS. and that figure is quoted
as the market. The day before decline
20 Sic had been reported. and therefore
II is seen that a So decline in one week
Is recorded. as $17 was clearly the mini
mum of last week and Of the preceding
week. Foundry coke is quoted for SIT
to SIS. but there Is practically no doubt
that foundry coke will respond to the
decline In furnace coke. so IL is likely
to sell for so cents to 81 lower In a few
days.

reserve Ratio. Decline.

With the aid of rediscornts with other
Federal Reserve banks TO the extent of
S25.000,000, the Federal Reserve Bank
OF New York was unable to withstand
last week a slight decline In reserve
ratios. Notwithstanding the fact that
local member Clearing House banks
were permitted to show a deficit of
nearly S24.000.000. In other words. had
the local Reserve Bank not borrowed
from other Reserve banks and had the
local Clearing House members main
tanned only bare surplus. the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York would have
revealed record low reserve ratios. With
the aid of artificial stimulants, the ratio
OF total reserves to deposit and Federal
Reserve note liabilities combined was
$3.50 per cent. against 1877 per cent and
the ratio OF reserves to net deposits af-
ter deducting 40 per cent. for gold
reserves against Federal Reserve notes
In circulation. was 36.7 per cent. against
81 per cent. in the preceding week.
Member bank borrowings Increased ST.

s25, 600, 900 from other Reserve banks,
the local banks gold holdings fell off
$22, 100000 1t is noteworthy that
member banks are borrowing nearly
$500. 100000 in excess OF their cash re-
serve with the Federal institution. There
was a slight contraction In reserve notes
in circulation.

the week of s50.233. 200. and the point
of view taken In market circles was that
it was at least difficult TO stage an

shown despite contraction OF S90.S43.-

and a shrinkage of deposits OF s112. 1885,

to the settlement of the Anglo-French

was due to the withdrawal of United

to lose s65.454.0o0 Of their cash reserve
In the Federal Reserve Bank. United

ness yesterday amounted to s64,919.00
and further Withdrawals are expected
