stitutionalist agents here expressed the hope of one of the mediators that as soon as the northern chief became ac- quainted with the mediation propos- als he would be ready to join with other elements in a common effort to heal the republics scars from i've years of war. The attitude of some of the constitutionalists was indicated by the statement of Luis Cabrera that without the constituencies the Niagara conference cannot come to definite solution"
 We feel that we ought to be rep resented" he said; out he contended that any other man than Carranza as compromise candidate for provisional president would fail.

FINANCIAL NEWS
ANTE-HOL|DAY ASPECT
 SHOWN IN MARKET Variations More UnimpOTtant and
 Dealings Exceedingly Light.

Wall Street, 10:45 A. M.-Unimpor- tant variations were the rule in the early stock market dealings today. The leaders were mildly reactionary and General Motors yielded two points of its recent advance. Dealings were in exceedingly light volume and the list as a whole bore the familiar ante-holiday aspect. There seemed to be some disappointment at the lack of more definite details regard ing the Mexican negotiations, this feeling finding reflection in London. where Americans were mostly lower.
 Closing-The market closed irregu- lar. The dull and uneventful day was rartly relieved in the latter dealings after publication of President Wilson's address to the manufacturers, in which he bespoke their cooperation and his desire to further business interests. This was qualified, however. by his expressed determination to carry out his antitrust program.
 The following quotations are fur nished by c. Edward Graf, stock broker, National Bank building. F. N. Gilfillan, local manager:

taries would continue in charge of the other departments.
 Desire Speedy Settlement.
 Belief is expressed confidently that an agreement or protocol will be drawn up and perhaps signed within another week. The mediators are anxious for speedy settlement as are also the Mexican delegates. The MeXicans hope, too, that no time may be lost in setting up the new govern ment after signatures are fixed to the protocol. Already they have General Huerta's approv al for the main points in the plan. They came with plenary powers but, nevertheless have been referring vital issues to him and he has been giving his approval to their work. Interests of the constitution alists are being kept in mind by the mediators. Names agreed upon for the new provisional government are expected to be such as the constitu- tionalists might endorse.
 The mediators do not expect the question of constitutionalist represen- tation here to be reopened. The con- ferences have progressed too far for that. The general belief is that the American government already is sounding out the constituencies on details of the plans being discussed.
