THE BUTTERFLY DANCE IN
THE EYES OF THE WORLD

Naturally opinions are varied on
the most outstanding feature Of
Cluuc's beautiful production. The
Eyes of the World" ont a few pa
irons of the BUou theater have ex
pressed themselves az most charmed
by the sylvan butterfly dance OF
Sibyl Andres which has a double ap-
peal because OF the extreme beauty
of the scene as the girl trips with
light-footed rythm under the spread
ing branches OF great sycamore tree
with the notified ftoCks of sunlight
playing on her through the leaves.
This charming and unusual bit Of
poetic animation is the more delight
full because of the very remarkable
accuracy of the coordination OF the
music with the girls flying feet As
the large orchestra plays the music
the audience. at first perhaps uncon-
scious Of thA fact soon realizes that
the synchronization is reduced To the

but In the Clune production a full or
Chestra was employed and as much
care exercised in its playing AS was
put upon the banquet by the ex-
pert caterer engaged to prepare the
festive part OF the scene. Much Of
the effectiveness of the scene was
due to the influence of cadence. The
players found that they worked
much more EARLY under the spell OF
music and felt for the moment that
they were at an actual banquet
among the social upper ten.
The making of the dinner scene
resemhled in small way the real
performance as it is now seen at the

as would be employed il an audience

FINANCIAL NOTES.

Production in some of the agricultural
states is seriously threatened by the with
drawal of farmhands to secure the larger
wages offered at centers of industrial ac-
tivity.
Crude oil stocks amounted to 1877 1884,
600 barrels on January 81, compared wit
127, $4,000 barrels on December 81,
1919. decrease of 703,000 barrels.
Re6neries in the United States owned
by the Standard Oil companies represent
third of the total daily capacity.
As a result of the stock dividends de-
cision last Monday and the sharp rally
in foreign exchange, which helped senti-
ment in general, there were some sensa-
tional advances IN the market In general.
The average price of twenty-five leading
industrialv shares recorded gam OF "a
points during the week, the average at
the close being 9O.S4. On December 81,
1919. the average was l00.44.
Foreign liquidation in American rail-
road stocks, well-known New York
broker said yesterday, has given investors
an opportunity TO pick up stocks which,
if held, will make their children and grand
children saw, Guess the old man knew
what he WAS doing" II am not saying
we are not to have any more scares re-
garding the after-war situation here and

are failing to take account OF the progress
that has actually been made. But the
time will come when we will catch up and
go ahead of that improvement. am not
talking about margin trading, but about
out-and-out investments"
The actual showing in the New York
weekly bank statement was of an increase
of more than S26,O0,000 in the excess
reserve to above S29,0O0,000. Deposits
ran up by S62, 100000, and loans were
increased by S27.000,000. 1t would seem
that there is unlikely to be any further
strain on account of the federal tax pay
ments due today, as the last day tor
the first settlement, and IN some banking
quarters the idea Is entertained that the
money situation has become such as to
enable reasonable credit accommodations
In connection with the better classes OF
securities.
While business and earnings of the
Midvae Steel and Ordnance Company ha

THE SUGAR SITUATION.

The American Sugar Bulletin for the
week sayB.
The arrival Mt Atlantic ports Of large
quantities of Cuban sugars during the
week, resulted in slight pressure To
sell as the arrivals included several I'M
sold cargocs. The market has consequent
ly gradually grown easier and prices show
moderate decline for the week.
The heavy receipts Of the past two
weeks are reflected in increase rehner'
stocks of raw sugars which are now 137, :
900 tons ms compared to 10000 tons on
the corresponding date last year.
Business has been moderate with scv-
eral sales Of Porto Rico sugars at IL cents
delivered and of Cubas on Wednesday
at 10 cents cost and freight equal to ii O3
cents delivered duty paid. Some full
duty sugars also sold earlier in the week
at IL 1915 cents duty paid, while in Cuba
the Royal Commission on The Sugar Sup
ply was almost daily purchaser. Start
ing at 1925 cents free on board at Cuban
ports, they bought down to 9.75 cents
(. o. b.
The first sale of st. Croix sugars for
the season was reported on "Wednesday
at 1880 cents delivered. st. Croiv sugars
do not pay duty and occupy the same
position IN the market as Porto Ricos
This lot as well as the first new crop Hayti
sugars reached New York during the
week
THESE sales appear to have absorbed
most of the sugars offered for early de-
livery and at the close the market is
steadier with light offerings.
According TO press report of the week,
there are heavy accumula tions of sugar
in Peru awaiting shipment.

Paris, March Both government and railroad officials were optimistic today as to the outcome of the strike which began last week on the Paris Lyons Mediterranean road and was followed Saturday by an order for a strike on all the railways of France. All accounts agree that the united railway federations have been unable to make this general strike order eff fective, reports from various quarters
 telling of the failure of the men to walk out in a body and even of Iameliorated conditions in some sec tions.
 The order of the government for the mobilization for military duty of the railroad men, adopted as a meas

FAILURE TO GET
 SUGAR RESULTS
 IN S5,OOO SUIT
Local Concern Shy Material To Make Ginger
 Beer

Alleging that the failure to receive 16,00O pounds of sugar caused them to be hampered in making their special brand of ginger beer, the Booth & PIatt Go. of this city today started suit against the Continental Sugar & Products Go. of Massachusetts for $5 900 damages. Papers were filed in the Superior court and are returnable to the March term.
 It is claimed that on December 8, 1919, Julius Fleischer of this city made an agreement with the Continental Co. whereby the latter concern was to furnish Fleischer with 1t, 600 pounds of Brazilian white crystal sugar at 3-4 cents a pound
 FIeischer says he paid $2,6So to the company and was promised immedi- ate delivery as the company claimed to have secured a large amount ot Brazilian sugar.
 Fleischer afterward assigned his claim to the Booth & P1att Co.,. who were unable to secure delivery of the sugar and had to buy 1000 pounds in the open market at 20 cents a pour in order to continue the manufa cture of ginger beer.
