Board Of Trade War
Chicago March 2.—The resolutions
adopted by the directors of the board
of trade Saturday last cutting off the
gathering and distribution of quota-
tations after March 21 have created
much discussion. Nearly every
board of trade man has seme fears of
complications that the new order of
things would bring about. It is very
important they say to have
quotations of the produce exchange
from New York. If those people are
cut off from the Chicago quotation
they will be apt to refuse to furnish
Chicago their prices. The bucket
shop men are alarmed at the outlook.
If they fail in compelling the board
to continue to furnish the quotations
they will have to devise some other
means of getting prices made on
the board. Just what plans they
will adopt has not been deter-
mined but they declare they will
trade in produce in spite of
anything the board of trade may
do. The telegraph company have
little to say. but they are largely in-
terested parties in the fight." It
means a loss of enormous business to
them if the board succeeds in its
present intentions unless they meet
the contingencies that may arise in
some manner not yet determined
upon. One point al l parties interest-
ed seem to be agreed upon and that
is that no matter what may occur al)
contestable grounds will" be fought
over with determination.

Last night Lewis Morrison pro-
duced his sterling drama of “Faust”
adapted from the popular opera of
that title. With the advantage of
having superb scenery magnificent
stage effectsand lights Mr. Morrison
also has a superior company. The
version given by Mr. Morrison of
Goethe’s immortal poem is by Bayle
Bernard. It is well written and very
effective. Mr Morrison of course as-
sumed the character of Satan and his
conception of the pait showed the
most careful study and thorough
training. His mockingSatanic sneer
his grace his change of voice and
actions show him to be the actor in
all the term implies.
Tonight Faust will be repeated.
