AMUSEMENTS , cccceccccccccocceeooooe Farce comedy has not been tccclved lately In Omnhn with .n very great degree of con sideration , but from the en hurlnsm pro voked nt the Crclghton yesterday by the .inlrth-produdnK nffnlr entitled "Olrl Wnnted" Ita \ apparently being restored to favor. The thread of humor scarcely de pends upon the plot of Ihc story , which U not well denned , bur , on the contrary , Is Ignored nnd rendered unnecessary by n , series of comical tltuntlona nnd side Hants which chance v.llh Iho rnpldlly of the kaleidoscope producing In &uccons-Ion n fccrlen of attractions which nmuso nnd dcllcht. Frank Hush's vcrrntlllty contributes to n consldEwblo extent throughout "Girl Wnnted , " While by no means a one man show , Mr. Hush Illustrates his artistic use * fulncsn by appearing In tovon distinct roles. Ho chances from a rube of the Vermont vintage to a Ocrmap lassie of the satim- kraut variety with about the same degree of faclllly thnt the average man mlcht ex- hllllt In treating hlmiiclf lo Hie luxury o ! a shave. Hut aside from this Hie entire company , an evenly balanced nggrcgntlon of clover people , figure In a very entertaining way throughout. Farce comedy well Interspersed with good songs , artistic dancing and a generous num ber of graceful figures nnd pretty faces , finds greater favor In Omaha than any other Kind.

' " Hoyt'H dramatic efforts have never been received with oilier ttian nn Indifferent de gree of nttcntlon By Omnhn theater patrons. With the possible' exception of "A Texas Steer" and "A Trip to Chinatown , " his works have never been p"atr6nlzed to any consider able extent here.'Despite- ' fact , an en thusiastic house { jrdotcd "A Milk Whlto Klnu" at Eojd's las't night. This la Hoyt's intest nnd was presented , for the first tlmo In Omaha. It has lind jincnomcnal success elsewhere. It Is prdnuunceil , Hoyt's best. The ear mnrk > < j ( tl/o'author , are too nu merous to permit''any one familiar with Iloyt's work tc mistake the builder , though It borders on the spectacular. However. U differs materially from all other productions of his pen In that forty people are reaulred to complete the cat-t. The * staging of the piece Is also much' more elaborate than any thing previously attempted by Hoyt and the costumes nro richer and moro elegant In detail. The feature , however , which probably Im presses the average observer us the wildest freak of the author's Imagination Is thnt the mirth of "A Milk Whlto Flag" Is sup posed to begin In n contest over n corpse by rival undertakers. Many of the offensive features of this part of the play , however , huvo benn obliterated ; still , there Is nothing funny or artistic In this phnee. That "A Milk Whlto Flng" contains much ( hat Is pleasing along with some things that nro not so coed Is certain , however. Thla could not be otherwise with the presence of the old favorites , imch ns Frnnk Law-ton , John Mnrblc , Charles Stnnlcy , George Heanc , B. S. Wcntworth , Sallle Mncldern , Charles Warren and Alllo Warner In the coat , to- rothcr with several other clever artists. The special features of "A Milk White Flng" nro pleasing nnd the many pretty glrla , now BOIIKB and dances nnd great quan tity of special scenery combine n production much out of the ordinary , at least * or Charles A.

Wall struct having fully perxuadcd Itself that all danger of reac tion was over , the reaction hna come. It hai been sharp and hag reached almost every slock quoted on the Stock exchange. A week ago It. was pointed out In the o dispatches that however much U might ap pear that the reaction crisis was past there wag ntlll peed reason for apprehending that the Petback which was overdue would be uuro to come. The rank and flic of Wall street trailer * have been caught , however , unprepared. They were pretty generally con vinced that the market wan going to sweep on upward without any recession whatcvc for some time to come. Speculators wh had accumulated paper profits on a prett big wale got over conservatism and In th early part of this week's renewed slrengl plunged , The remit ha * been when th reaction did arrlvo It did devastating wor among thin class of accounts , t know on man who on $100 margin In hand at Ne\ Year's was able by the pyramiding procesw to round out over { 50,000 , having playei Sugar trust flock on Its recent contlnuou rises. Kvery penny of this accumulation ha thlu week been extinguished. Today he ha not even his original $100 margin loft. Thl Is an example not by any mcins Isolated. In the ernn hes of yesterday and In sue reactions nt ) were continued today , however there was evident buying by romc of th most Important financial Interests In Wnl Mrcet , Interest * which wore largely In at th beginning of the recent bull movement , hu who got out at figures lower than the top They Eccm now to be disposed to get In again through the opportunities which the quick de cllnes at the end of tlie week have offered Of couno there Is much division of sentl ment In the street as to whether OP not the reaction has upcnt ItH force. It 1 certain that there Is moro nervousness on the Stocl exchange now than for some time past , bu then that Is not unnatural In view of th rapidity with which the reaction developed. DIG OPERATORS UUSY. At present It looks ) as If few of the big operators will try to yuplaln prices for some time to come , tho&o who arc dlppoecd to buy on the decline. ) being anxious to get stock on the downward acalo and as cheaply as they can. There Iti no such feeling In the street now as followed the historical Venezuelan mecenge by President Cleveland. At the same time the anxieties which do exist are rooted It whnt Is being clone at , Washington and have to do almost exclusively with the votes whlcl accompany the Incendiary Inlk In congress Whllo local traders have been alllng stocks freely on the Cuban Incident , It Is noteworthy that Europe throughout the weakness has bc > 2ii a conspicuous buyer. While stocks wcro weakest yesterday London bough1 heaviest. Its purchases were much more clearly displayed than nt any time In months One of the elements which will bo likely to help along the development of the bul market , If finally we are to have a bull mar- ckt. Is llio fact that Europe has pretty wel balled herself out of American securities London nnd Paris , Berlin and Amsterdam have all been Belling American stocks ever Elnco 1803 at every opportunity which the market has offered. Today It Is probably true that Europejn traders arc really ohort of twice as many American stocks as they are carrying on the long side. They have been educated to believe that the panic limps of 1893 are bound BOOH to be repeated , amen on this theory they have sold promiscuously and In many cases alkogethcrreckloEHly. 'If now for any encouraging reason the foreigners t/liould / be Induced to take favor able views of the American situation nm as a consequence begin to buy In considerable quantities of our securities , the prompt result la bound to bo that our market would be given a tonlo assistance , which It has not enjoyed for many a long day. Wall street banking houses with close for eign connections seem generally to be per suaded that such a cheering condition of thli gs Is quite within the range of possibility. Some very Important firms Insist even that the prospect of European purchases on a large scale this spring Is moro than a pos sibility a certainty. Outside of Washington there Is nothing new In the situation to alarm anybody. Every reason which cheerful bulls have been quoting for weeks past Is Just as forceful now ns ever. Hallways arc < Increasing net earrings. Operating economies are belns continued. Dividend results have superseded the deficit fashion. To Wall street this means much , for In net profits Is after all found the key to satisfactory stock market conditions. The commercial situation Is not what It should he. Merchants are. still hampered by the lack of accommodations which they de- BOIVB. Manufacturers are being held up by much the same sort of thing. But In every department of trade and commcrco there semis to be a growth In wholesome con fidence , nnd In banking circles at last there Is an Increasing expectation that the com mercial atmosphere will BOOH , be quite clear.

The cattle situation could be pum- mcil up In n very few words about the usual Snluidny's run and the usual Snlur- daj's market. Owing to the snow stoim It was rather disagreeable In the yards nnd every one wns ready to do business nnd get Ihrough with It as soon ns possible. The buyers wanted it few cnltlc and they were not lone In making selections , paying about steady prices. The most ot the fat steers on silo were only fairish stuff , but there was ono load good enough to bring $3.K ! ) . llutchers' slock went nt nbaut yesterday's prices , theie being no change In values of any Importance. Everything was sold be fore the close. Stackers atid feeders brought fully steady prices , and , while the offerings were alt taken , the market , ns usual on the last day of the week , was without feature of any Importance.
