zeisler easily surpassed all piano virtu-

The audience filled the hall, and a more
appreciative assemblage was never seen
here. 1t was indeed a notably musical
crowd. There was no whispering any
where in the house and the applause
showed fine discrimination.
Madame Bloomfeld-Zeisier is one of

romantic instinct for the modern.
Her dainty passages were PLAYED with
exquisite finish and her grand climaxes

Madame Observation-Disclosures received an
ovation. The audience remained seated

CLILIANS WILL
PROBABLY QUIT
SOME THINK THEY ARE BLUFF.
ING BUT TIME ALONE CAN TELL
WHO WILL YIELD IN THE CON-
TRoVERSY.

Mexico City, January Though the ar
bitration difficulty is not settled the sit
uation Is improved but still remains prob
able that If the Chilians are as good as
their word, they will withdraw from the
conference. The Chilians have presented
to the officials of the conference a memo
randum stating that In whatever form
the compulsory plan Is presented to the
conference they will withdraw. In max
ing this statement the delegates of Chill
recall the conditions under which Chill
accepted the invitation to the confer
ence, viz:
That II any attempts were made to In
troduce into the conference vexatious
questions openly antagonizing Chill, the
delegate and W. 1. Buchanan, the Amer
lean member of the arbitration commit
tee, has been pursuing during recent ne
gotiations have been to find way by
which the compulsory plan might be in
troduced in such a shape as to satisfy
its adversaries and at the same time not
offend the Chilians. Now, that the latter
say that in whatever form the plan Is in
troduced they will withdraw, the friends
of the compulsory plan are all the more
insistent to have II -ir convention intro
duced into the conference so as to concur
on any exactly the same footing as that
projected by the Hague convention II
they have their way and the Chilians car
ry out their threat, then the conference
will have to finish its labors without the
Chilians But there is an impression here
that the Chilians are playing bluff.

LATE MONTHS ATTACKED

New York, January 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened steady, with prices to 6
points lower, and for a time resisted
all efforts to break May through the Sc
level. Opponents of the market attacked
the late months on the idea that the port
movement, which was nearly 100 per
cent larger than the same day last year,
and the weak cables from Liverpool war
ranted a decline. English selling orders
and some pressure from the south added
to the confidence Of the shorts. Wall
street refused to believe in a lower mar
ket. and increased its line of long cotton
mostly the May option, but as the morn
ing wore along commission houses be-
came large sellers. and the English mar
ket sold lower. Before midday local
longs sold excitedly and commission
houses sold on stop" orders. From Sc
May broke to 1920. After this the mar
ket was trifie steadier on profit-taSing
by room shorts. and light scalpers de-
mand for reaction. Nevertheless the I'M
dertone of the market remained weak.
and on every bulge more long cotton came
out Estimates for big receipts at New
Orleans and Houston tomorrow, and a
bearish semi-weekly interior town state

weakness.
