Tne show is better than ever and it
would seem impossible to improve upon
it. In the fi st place Al. G. Field him
self is a good show and this the audi
ence never fails to realize and appreciate.
Around him be has placed the artists
ot the country, not one ot them being
without some marvellous or many trait.
-The costumes were ot the. latest style
and colors and in their verv artistic ar
rangement they showed off with good
effect. . ' ;
. The curtain rose on the old fashioned
mythological first part, the ' court of
black l faces with Mr. Allen May as in
terlbcutor.
The two Trilbys. where Messrs. Field
and Donnelly are attired in bloomers, is
new and original with Mr. Field, as well
as the songs they sing. .
The close was a farce circus and if
nothing else was funny this was enough
to split one's sides. A better pleased
audience never witnessed a performance
than did the one last night which was
measured by the walls of the bouse.

Patnrea Advanoed on Ooed Bnrrpean Ad
.vleee. -- Wheat Baled High Bat
Weakened on Selling Order
Special Star Telegram
New York, Jan, 8. The early cotton
advices from abroad were feverish, but
soon changed color and created a more
peaceful feeling on this side. Our open
ing here was at a slight decline from
yesterday's final figures, but prices grad
ually climbed, recording a net gain' for
the day of fifteen points a most satisfac
tory advance for the bull contingent.
But the feeling after the. close is one of
uncertainty; many conservative opera
tors think the advance too rapid con
sidering the unsettled state of affairs,
and that a temporary reaction is proba
ble. Port receipts are much lighter
than, expected. This, coupled with a
fair amount of strength at New Orleans,
aided the improvement that was first in
spired by good European advices. !
The wheat market to day ruled as
high as 8t lor May option In Chicago,
but Weakened on a psrfect fusilade of
selling orders, evidently to secure profits;
but summing up tire situation for ulti
mate purposes, wheatjis good : property
and will yield substantial profits.
