TETRAZZINI MAY
SING IN NEW YORK
Woman Who Is Being Paid $4,000 An
Hour Is Expected to Make Her
Debut-CoDreid May Prevent
Her From Doing SO.

New York, Jan. 15.-Mme. Luis
TetraZzini, the second Patti, who
was engaged by Herr Oscar Hamer-
stein to sing at his Manhattan opera
house at a wage OF $4,000 an hour will
make her American debut Thursday
night There have been reports that
Herr Conreid, of the Metropolitan
opera house, would attempt to prevent
The appearance of the famous prima
donna on the stage of his operatic RI
val. Over two years ago Nine. Tet-
razzin signed three years contract
to sing for Herr Conreid at the Met
ropolitan The singer declares that
Herr Conred was responsible for the
breaking of the contract which is no
longer binding Mr. Conreid is equal
ly positive that Nine Tetrazzini was
wholly at fault. 1t is declared, how
ever, that Herr Conreid is not envi-
GUS of his rivals success and will not
seek legal means to prevent or curtail
the singers appearances at the Man
haitian.
Those who know Nine. Tetrazzi
would not willingly change places
with Oscar Hammerstein, despite the
seeming victory he has won over his
hated rival. The Italian singer is a
creature of moods and fancies, and
the next steamer may find her on the
way back to Italy, Or perhaps singing
before an audience in a ten-twent'-
thirt' theater in Kansas City or Kali
amazoo She is a Bohemian, this see
ond Patti, and not cotton wrapped
aristocrat, as was the first Patti. She
would be more at home in a Bow
cry music hall than in the Manhattan
-or the Metropolitan, and Herr Ham
merstein knows it and watches her
like a fond mother does her child.
THE $4,000 q performance she receives
from Hammerstein would not prevent
her from again breaking her contract.
If she pleased. Herr HammerStein
can only wait and hope and pray that
he may keep his now treasure.

There was some selling here on this

futures are at such a decline unoeT

that the following on the short side
soon gave out. OF course, II there
should be a general strike in Lancasn-
ire, demand for spots would be reduced
and this might affect spot holders on

futures can only come when spots give
way and there is no indication or that
vat There is no concerted bull specu-

the Japanese prime minister and part
of his cabinet had resigned which was
at once brought in connection with our
naval demonstration, started war talk,
some more selling and decline to lilo

prevailed and prices soon steadied.
Yet all this shows how timid bulls
are.
The spot market is very steady, good
demand; the f. o. b. basis for good
grades is strong. No weakening in
any direction among holders is in evil
dence. This and the drop in the
movement caused futures to turn about
sharply and by 1890 a. m. March sold
around II. %. Port receipts so far for
the week are $1,000 against $4,000
last year. Today's ports are estima-

Houston expects 1000 to 5000 tomor-

ey and believeing himself unable to
stop gambling, E. j. Laymen, a young
mining engineer of this city, who has
been employed at the Veteran mine,
