Cables were not up to expectations and many telegrams were received from Texas and Oklahoma stating that the recent rains had resulted in preparations on a huge scale for the new crop. The market held its barely steady tone for some time after the opening and the trading months were put 4 to points under yesterday's close. At this level profit taking by shoits was quite general and the tone steadied. At the end of the first half hour of trading prices were unchang ed to 1 point down compared with yesterdav's close. Until the middle of the morning the uncertainty over the Scott anti-future bill now before congress had more or less of an unsettling effect on the market. Speculatively, attention has been drawn to this bill by the de parture for Washington of a delegation of cotton men from this market to at tempt to_ward off the threatened legis lation. and bears are finding it a wea pon of considerable power. Through out the morning the bear element seemed to ha\e control of the situation and but for a pronounced disposition to take i)rofits, might have held prices down. .\s it was late in the morning and tracing montlis were unchanged to :5 points up compared with yes terday's close. At noon the list was to 3 points underyesterday s close. Opening New Orleans Futures. New Orleans, Feb. 15.—Cotton fu tures opened ijarely steady.

New York Stocks New York, Feb. 15.—Missouri Pa cific was the feature of the opening of the stock market today by reason of the pending contest for control of the property. The opening sale of 6.000 shares was at 60 as compared with 59 1-8, last night’s closing and 2.000 more shares sold at 60 1-2 and 60 1-4. The general list was dull and irregular. Reading and United States Steel declined fractionally, American Car fell 1-2 and Tennessee Copper !-4. National Railways of Mexico first and second preferred advanced 1 1-4 and Great Non hern 1 3-8. Missoui'i Pacific continued its rapid advance on heavy buying until it had gi^ined nearly 4 points. The Hurry in tiiis stock checked the improvement which was in progress in the general list and there was a slight reaction. -V good df>al of long stock came on the market when Missouri Pacific readied and it reacted to 61 1-4. It subse quently iallied a i)oint. The general market took a brisk upward turn un der ihe lead of the Hill stocks. North ern Pacific rising two points and Gieat Northern preferred on point. Overnight developments gave a ner vous tone to trading throughout the morning. Definite news of a pending contract for control of Missouri Pacific was the chief disturbing factor, caus ing a feverish movement in the stock and hesitation in the general market. Passage of the Canadian recfi)roci- ty bill by the l.ouse of representatives was reflected in divers movements in s’tocks affected by its provisions. Some stocks of the Canadian group advanced and International Paper, pfd., sustain ed a further loss of more than a point. During the better part of the second hour the mark'^'t displayed a down ward tendency, Missotp’i Pacific relax ing to 60 1-S and various other lead ing stocks, including United States Steel. Ama eamated Copper and Read ing declining a fraction below last night’s close. Honds were steady. Traders wore reluctant to do any thing In the market until the Gould Ktatement came out and fluctuations wei’o without much significance. Mis souri Pacific v.as steady at 61. There was an increased demand for National Railways ot Mexico second preferred lifted It 3-4 to 38 1*4. U. S. Rubber also bounded up 1 3-4. Prices improved after midday but the demand abated after the list had worked back to about yesterday’s closing. Missouri Pacific became very qr.iet and hovered around 60 1-2 pend ing the expected issue of a formal statement by the president of the company. The market closed heavy. Erie stocks were freely bought in the last hour, the common and sec ond preferred rising a point. The rest of the market wis listless, but shad ed somewhat In the final dealings with Missouri Pacific breaking to 59 1-2 after the Gould statement was given out. Chicago Grain Chicago. 111., Feb. 15.—Lively buying today counteracted a declining tenden cy in wheat. It was the idea of the purchasers that a rally might natural ly be expected following the recent long decline of 10 cents a bushel. Sell ers on the other hand fixed their course by the reciprocity outlook, with a view to favorable European crop advices, poor cash inquiry and expect ed improvement of winter wheat Southwest. Offerings, however, were only scattered. The bulls showed an aggress'ive spirit and soon had prices back above last night's level. The op ening was weak, 3-8 lower to a shade higher. May started at 92 1-8 to 92 3-8, a loss of 1-8 to 3-8 but swung upward to 92 5-8. Corfi trade was slow with prices stead.v in the face of changes either way on the part of wheat. May open ed the same as last night to a shade up at 49 1-8 to 49 l-Sal-4, touched 49 and recovered to 49 1-S. Pit speculators sold oats but failed to make much impression on the mar ket as a v.’hole. May started a shade lower to a shade higher at 31 3-4a7-8, reaciied 32al-8 and declined to 31 3-4. Provisions advanced following a rise in hog values. First sales were 5a7 1-2 to 12 1-:^ up with May options at 1770al77.5 for pork, 95J for lard and 950 to 952 1-2 for ribs. Chicago Grain and Produce. High. Low. Close. \\’TIEAT— .May July ....

Suzanne Willa, who plays the “emo tional ingenue” role of Cicely Rand in “The City,” which comes to the Acad emy of Music next Monday night avers that she is moce stage struck at ))resent, after five years of experience, than when she first made her debut. “It’s really quite awful to be so ter ribly stage struck,” she declared, when chatting the other evening off stage after her supposed death at the end of the second act. “I find that so many people in the ‘profession’ or ‘business’, or whatever you want to call it, regard acting simply as a means of earning a livelihood and apparently lose all their enthusiasm after the excltemcnt of the first plunge subsides. That is only another way of saying that they lose their inspiration, for surely the actress v/ho goes about her work in a spirit of bread-and-buiter prose can not hope to fulfill any high artistic mission. “I have always believed that a real genuine actress should be at least as thoroughly stage struck as a matinee girl, and, preferably, a great deal more so. If she isn’t ‘struck’ with her own profession, how can she expect the peo ple on the other side of the footlights to be ‘struck’ with her performances? I am willing to wager that such great actresses as Bernhardt and Julia Mar lowe are even more in love with their work today than they ever dreamed of being. The moment I stop bein stage struck—if that moment ever comes—I am going to leave the stage, for then I will know that my chance of ever reaching the top of the ladder has come and gone.” Want Paroles.

Butt & Co INSURANCE HEADQUARTERS “My Cinderella Girl.” Given a good brisk farce dealing with college life, and add to that a good baker’s dozen of melodious musi cal numbers, and you have William Norris’ “My Cinderella Girl,” which will come to the Academy of Music next Tuesday night. This attraction abounds in ludicrous situations that are provocative of con vulsive laughter. The scenes are laid in and about Si wash College, and the students play all sorts of j»ranks, and perform all manner of funny tricks, and in such a manner as to keep an au dience in laughter for three hours. In the midst of all this laughter, from time to time, melodious mtisical num bers are introduced and a prize beauty chorus sings and dances with striking effect Fleischmann’s Cooking School Opens. Mrs. E. W. Sloane, domestic science teacher, arrived in tbe city today from Wilmington, where she has just com pleted a most successful Cooking School.. The ladies of Charlotte are cordially invited to attend each after noon at 2.30, in the Y. M. C.

A minor oper ation has to be performed on her throat, and Raymond conceives the idea of mental-suggestion by means of “an atom.izer.” The girl believes she has lost her voice and is crushed. When she hears Pietro play “The Song of the Soul,” the girl tries to sing it and is delighted to find that her voice has “returned.” The situation is one of freat dramatic strength. “The Cli max” will be seen at the Academy of Mti.sic next Wednesday, matinee and night.
