Nov. 11—Today's bo- quel to yesterday's tnarket perform ance In the two Harrlman Paclflo stocks opened the eyes or the more conservative element to the fact that speculation was entering on a reckless and hazardous stage. There came a pause to take stock of the situation and a development of greater caution In the conduct of market operations which was shown by the evident les sening of speculative holdings and de cline In the rates of activity In the market. There was a belief prevalent in the financial district that these re sult* were caused to some extent by regulative measures amongst the largo financial interests. Sales of Southern Pnclflc recorded today numbered 183,300 shares on which the price fell baak t<» 11414. closing at 116. The two days' dealings In Union Pacific reach a total of 460.- 200 shares with a total capitalisation of 1,964.879 shares. It was the r«a sonliig.from these facts that caused 1 lmsty unloading of speculative holdings and invited professional attack which broko the murket. News from all quarters continued uniformly unfav orable. The time money market con tinues to harden and there Is reported u notable Increase In the supplies of mercantile paper reflecting the enlarg ed activities of the jobbers and manu facturers. A date wag fixed .today for the sale on November 23,^at *12,500,000 of four per cent corporate stock of tho city of New York. A widespread general demand con tinued In evidence and helped to ah- sorb the profit taking. Foreign mar kets wore relieved by the clearing of the International outlook. Vigorous supporting measures were employed at all stages of the seeing, showing the continued control exerted by the ga nixed force* on the speculation. Low-prleed stocks were strong at various periods of the day. some gains reaching to substantial proportions. Bonds were steady. Total sales par value 34.728.000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

It will be seen that the play has been given tho handsomest production over utilised for a drama of the south. No expense wua spared on tho part of the management and before on* piece of scenery was pointed. Frank Plataer. tho well-known scenic nrtlnt, loft his work In the height of Ids buay season to spend a week among tho foothills of North Carolina and at Milwood. tha ancestral home of Gan. Wada Hampton In South Carolina, for tha pnrpoaa of making de signs and sketches for the stage settings of tho new play. Of courie, this all meant expense. Quite often on# hears of a scenic art ist making a trip to secure scenery of I atmosphere for the settings of a condo .opera, which la after all purely Imagi nary. while a play which Is baaed on historical facts. Is often left to shift “• any scenery that tho art- from his Imagination. In asmuch as the power of "The Traitor" |largely Ilea In Its close adherence to the truth of history, ns was the case with "The Clansman," It can rendlly be seen that there la much Importance In hav ing the soenln sotting* an exact repro duction of tho acenea presented. Proba bly tho most picturesque of the stage settings painted for "The. Traitor*' Is that of tho second act, the homo of Gen era! Hampton, allowing the devaatatlon that had been wrought by General Sher man on hla march to the sea. It Is more than likely that Mr. PlaUer'a example will be followed by other scenic artists In the future for the demands of the drama- tlat and producing manager aro becom ing more exacting every season.
