N13W YORK. April 14. The seventh grand
American handicap nt live pigeon shooting
furnished an opportunity for Mayor Tom
Marshal of ICelthsburR , 111. , to make a rec
ord for himself by winning the event for the
wccmd time on the cloverleaf-shaped traps
at. Klkwood , N. J.
Two years ago Mayor Marshal won this
record from the twenty-clght-ynnl mark
after shooting off a tie with a hard Hold of
contentantr. und today his nerve stood him
in good stead when he was pitted against
some hard propositions In the Una ! round
of the live bird championship.
Scvon men were tied for llrst place , with
twenty-four straight kills , when the shoot
was adjourned lust night. When the shoot
was resumed this morning the weather con
ditions wcro most favorable for the marks *
mon nnd for n time It looked as If the seven
leaders would have a long argument to
establish the right to supremacy. Only a
light westerly wind was blowing ami the
birds wcro splendid , not , however , from a
marksman's standpoint , as they evaded
many of the loads of shot sent after them
by some of the bet shots In this country
nnd Canada.
At the beginning of the contest the seven
men who tied with twenty-four Htralght
kills were : T. A. Marshal , -ltlwburg , III. ;
hamuel Hoffman , Jr. , Atlantic , in. ; Kd
Jllckmnn. Kansas City , Mo. ; J. A Jackson.
Austin , Tex. ; Dr. J. O. ICnowlton New
) , k ; ' ' . MUrlmm. . Clear Lake , la. ; George
Hell , Chicago.
ThU morning 'Hlokman ' lost his twenty-
flfth bird , leaving nix men In the rare.
In the Bhootoff , miss and out , both Hoff
man and Hell failed to score.
Jackson and KnowUon each miffed his
sixth bird nnd Marshal and Grimm had the
fonttul to themselves. They shot a hot
race each killing straight until the thirty-
third round. Grimm missed a hlsh-llylng
In-comer. while Marshal killed his thirty-
third , which left the mayor of Kelthflburg
n two-time winner of the grand American
handicap.

the twenty-live birds this morning and who

NEW YORK , April II. n. 0. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say.
There is still nil Increase. In nil legiti
mate business , nnd the productive power of
I great Industries Increases oven though somu
of their stocks decline. The sharp roactloii
In speculation n week ago In no way affected
the producing capacity of furnaces or mills ,
and has been in part recovered , whllo the
disturbance ot business caused by the for
mation of great combinations has In largo
measure censed. The money market Is IN
safer nnd moro wholesome condition , nnrt Hi
splto of four heavy payments by large syndi
cates , amounting to about $50,000,000 , has
grown easier. The only stringency has been
In cnll loans.
It is not owing to speculation ntono that
payments through the chief clearing houses
have been SO per cent larger than in the
same ueek of 1802 nnd 103.3 per cent larger
than last year. New York transactions far
exceeded these of any previous week , $1-
408,502,709 In amount ; but outside New
York the clearings were 41.5 per cent larger
thnn In 189S and 41.6 per cent larger than lu
1892. The truth Is that no such expansion In
the general business of the country has over
been seen before , nnd It such records enl >
were considered there would , bo ground foi
1 fenr that a wild passion ot trading had again
lifted the whole business community olt lib
feet. Instead , there is an Increase in tlib
chief Industries.
Returns of raw materials imported give
definite indications. Rnw silk Imports In
creased 87 per cent for eight months of the
fiscal year over last year ; hides , 40 per cent ;
India rubber , 2C ; tin , 21 , nnd fibres , 19 pel
cent.
cent.Tho output of pig iron April 1 was 215,740
ions weekly , against 228.1US March 1 , with
11C,118 tons decrease In stocks unsold ami
10,600 tons in warrant stocks , Indicating a
consumption in manufacture of 1,056,013 tons
In March. The haste of forty other furnaces
to got Into operation , with their possible
output of 20,000 tons moro weekly , has helped
to keep prices of pig iron qulto steady , al
though strong , but the demand for finished
products Is far from eatlsllod. The Mary
land Steel company has orders for 75,000 tons
steel rails for the Chinese Eastern. Plates
have sold at 12.10 for sheared at Plttsburg ,
but the leading mills there and mills else
where are crowded for months , nnd many
will not quote nt nil. Largo contracts worn
closed In structural works , one for 5,000 tons ,
Just before the advance In prices ; but Chicago
cage orders thla week cover 0,000 tons ot I
bridge work , nnd everywhere there is much |
business in sight. I
Bar and sheet mills arc hindered by pros
pects of consolidation , but though few orders
for bars are taken just now at the west the
Philadelphia market is more steady , .btcol
bars raised $2 per ton nt Plttsburg anu the
heavy demand for sheets makes prices very
irregular , with many orders refused.
The Connellsvlllo coke product , 1.9,103
tons , for the week surpasses all records , and
prices are steady , as before quoted. Lake
copper Is strong at 18c and scarce , and tin
went up , with London declining only to 25
per cent.
In spite ot some strikes because wages
wore not raised as much as hands cxpecteci
the cotton industry has a very good demand
and most of the mills are working satisfac
torily. A southern combination of flno
goods makers is proposed , like that of Fan
Illver mills , which has kept prices quite
steady of late. Woolen mills have begun to
buy wool more largely , though at priwa
much of their own making , but there s an
Improving demand for coeds , with light
weight purchases continuing , surprising for
the season. Sales of wool at the three mar
kets have been 16,792,000 pounds in two
weeks , against 3,385,000 pounds last year.
Wheat advanced about Vt cent , accounts of.
Injury discovered since April 1 supplementing
the government report. Were the worst
ing
ofgthe stories true there Is yet spring wheat
seeding to make up for deficiencies , though
the season is getting rather late. Exports
have been reduced. Atlantic seaboard ship
ments , nour included , amounting to 3.060.-
380 bushels for two weeks , against " .p - ; ;
bushels last year , and Pacific to ob4&u-
iho week have been 188 In the
United'Stat , against 254 last year anu
against , eighteen last
twenty-two in Canada ,

NH\V YOHK , April 11. Urndstrcefs So-
tnorrow will sny ;
Heal sprliiRvcnthor has Improved the tone
of trndp , particularly retail , nnd correspond-
liiKly lirlpfd Jnbbtni ? distribution , but nt the
same time brought Inst winter's Injury to
the winter crop more In evidence. The res-
ulnr monthly government crop report proved
rather more favorable than expected , for"
shadowing on Hie basis of lost fall's largely
Increased acreage.
The unanimity of later damage reports
would seem to point to full Information re
garding the crop not being obtainable at the
date when the government advices were
gathered. The Indifference with which the
government crop report was received hna
apparently been shaded Into the belief that
ilntnaKo lias been done and wheat prices for
the first time this season may bo said IT
have actually rctlected crop damage reports.
Other corealH nro but little changed , while
the movement of our brendstuffH abroad at
present seems to bo on n lessening ncalo.
Among the favorable features coming to
light this week might bo mentioned the re
ceipt of continued good railroad earnings re
ports , advices of widespread Industrial nc-
tlvlly , accompanied by rather less than usual
friction ns rolloctcd In strikes for higher
wages nnd a largely Improved distribution
of wool , which appears to have wakened nt
last from Us long sleep. Sales of this staple ,
Indeed , are the heaviest reported for many
weeks past , both Inside nnd outside of the
combinations having bought freely of terri
tory and other domestic grades. Largo
quantities of wool have been bought for re
export , Ungllsh buyers bidding freely for
high grade Australian sorts.
Advices from the manufacturing Jewelry
trade nro In a high degree favorable , aomo
estimates pointing to 25 per cent more bus
iness being done this spring than n year ago ,
while collections are Improved ,
Current demand for dry goods nt the cast
Is quieter , though fall orders are reported
notably easier , and dress woolens are in sat
isfactory demand.
Hoots nnd shoes are firm nt the advance
made over the season's opening quotations.
The strength of prices In March renders
comparisons with earlier periods Interesting.
Compared with a year ago , the general level
of values is S per cent higher , while there
Is an advance shown of nearly -10 per cent

It was an exceptionally largo and qulto
a representative audlcuco that greeted the
great Polish tragedienne , Mme. Helena
Modjcska , who , Batter a prolonged absence
from Omaha , returned Friday evening to
present Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleo
patra" at Boyd's theater. Comparatively
unfamiliar to the ordinary playgoer is
Shakespeare's version of 'this ' great play ,
local theater-goers especially being more
familiar with the Sardou spectacular ver
sion , In which the late Fanny Davenport
scored Kiich a triumph.
Mmo. Modjcska presented iho play in a
manner that dramatically , at least , depleted
the crowning beauty of Egypt in a gulso
not so magnlhcout perhaps as Daven
port's , but as a powerful revelation o
the unique personality of the daughter of
the Pharaohs. Fickle , amorous , loyal , hate
ful , but delightful , indeed , and artistic al
ways was Modjcska's Cleopatra. In all ot
these different moods this great actress was
given a splendid opportunity to use her
whole art. She could put Ilnlsh Into bursts
of s.avago passion , she could supplicate with
dignity becoming a successor of the Pha
raohs , she could move with that grace that
walks still l > y the Nile's shore , Bho could
tease her mighty lover with u voice whoso
cultured sweetness might , Indeed , have
yoked Antony beside a Caesar. It was this
kind of acting that the largo audience ap
plauded oft and gratefully. Modjcska
seems to have lost none of the genius
that has won her such a largo following
among patrons of theatrical amusement.
Her reading of her lines is wonderfully
clever , she is always regal , oven in her omo-
.tlonal scenes , avoiding nt all times any
semblance of ranting. The strong dramatic
climaxes which the piny affords wcro so
gradually reached that not until the audl-
enco had been completely enraptured did
it become aware that art and not nature
had enraptured them.
Modjcska's supporting company Is an un
usually strong ono nnd ono that can hardly
fall to make any piny highly pleasing nnd
acceptable. Especially commendable was
the work of Charles I ) . Herman ns Marc
Antony , Frank B. Fanning ns Lepldns , Les
ter Lonergan ns Caesar , Lynn Pratt as
Enalmrbus , Anna Proctor as Caesar's sister
and Miss Grace Fischer as Churmlan. The
staging of the pleco must also como in for
additional praise , ns well ns the costuming.
Mme. Modjeska will present "Mary Stuart"
at the matinee this afternoon and "Mac
beth" this evening. "Mary Stuart Is one
of Modjeska's ideal characters , and this
will probably bo the last opportunity local
theatergoers will have of seeing her portray
