that interesting serial is so cut up noW'
or in other words, only four chapters are
shown every Monday evening, that 1t IS
difficult for one to grasp the story. We
understand this is no fault of the Man
ager of the Theatre, but we hope some
effort will be made to adjust this matter
for future serials. Let US have SIX chap
tiers twice a week. We are sure the act
ing Manager will do his best for his pa
irons.
In conclusion we beg to inform other
patrons of the Tn atre that the famous
Lowande and Gardner Circus, we'll known
here, is expected in st. Thomas tomor-
row (Friday). We hope these artists
will not leave out St. CrOix in their tour.
We extend a cordial invitation to them.

regard to delivery of Films there will be
no show Thursday night" DO we I'M
derstand that to mean that there Will be
show on Monday nights only, or what !
Patrons Of the Theatre had got quite &C
customed to these entertainments very
instructive at times, and we are sorry to
see that one of the nights seems tc have
sunk into oblivion.
Our sister island st. Th'mas is we'll off
for cine shows. There are the Cine
America and the New Apollo Theatre,
in which some very up-to-date dramas
are being shown. What are the new
arrangements'? If the Creole" gets
here on Wednesday morning, isn't that
time enough TO geC the film here for
Thursday evening. If ever that is not
satisfactory. can't arrangements be made
with Porto Rico, and have our films come
direct. There are some fine pictures we
see advertised in the St. Thomas papers
that we never see here. Must we always

in that otherwise quiet little place. Thus

CHICAGO, April AL deliveries of
wheat. corn and oats tumbled down to-
season. Liquidation on the part of hold
ers developed again in the wheat market
after shorts had covered at the opening
and had left the market without one of
the usual sources of support. The in
crease of the bearish sentiment was
ascribed in considerable degree 70
nervousness regarding European political
and economic affairs. especially the Brit
ish coal miners strike. Opening prices.
which varied from unchanged figures to
y higher. with May 1881 to 1.39 and
July 1.19A to 1.20A. were followed by
moderate general gains and then by
sharp breaks all round.
Corn sagged with wheat. After open
ing a shade off to y advance. including
May at 6O14 to 60A. the market hard
ened little more, but then descended
we'll below yesterdays finish.
Oats were depressed by the downward
tendency of other cereals, starting haA
to u up. July 40 to 40b. and later
scoring material losses.
Lower quotations on hogs weakened
