siexei Very Much worried.

Siegei looked very much worried. Sew
erai detectives were conspicuous on the
platform. There was also a battery OF
newspaper photographers who took fash
light pictures Of Mr. Siegel as he passed
them on the platform.
At first Siegel declined 10 say anything
in reply to questions by numerous report
ers. but while the party was on the way
TO the Great Western Hotel. which adjoins
the station, where they tried in vain to
obtain rooms. he absolutely denied that
he had consulted former employee or his
In regard TO the possibility OF his cxtredi-
ton from various countries.
Siegel admitted that ne had received
n wireless message frcm District Attorney
Whitman concerning his unexpected de-
parture on the olympic and said that his
response was that he would definitely sail
for the United States on his return TRIP
on May 20.
Continuing. Slegel said his trip was tn
result OF n quick decision. He hurriedl,

HOPE FOR PEACE GROWING.
Washington Hears That Dictator IL
Trying 10 save Ills Face.

WASHINGTON, May 15. - The South
American mediators and officials of the
Washington Government were more
Hopetul tonight Of a settlement OF the
Mexican situation through the confer
ences at Niagara Falls than they have
been at any time since the efforts toward
peace began. This optimism was main
;alued in the face OF practical confirma-
ton OF tho execution Of Private Parks by
Mexican troops and the failure of Huerta
to keep his promise and produce United
States Consul John r. Sllliman. who had
been imprisoned at Salt!llo.
This hopefulness was based altogether
upon the crumblng state of the Huerta
Government. Word came to European
diplomatic ENJOYS IN Washington from
reliable channels in Mexico city that
Huerta would consent to retire from the
provisional Presidency. He would In
s.st, however. that this should be brough,
about by the medIators at Washington
In such way as to save him from
humiliation.
Under no circumstances would he have

rama. II Is understood also that Huerta
would insist upon a voice In the selec'
ton Of his successor and also possibly
upon an opportunity to become a candl.
date for the Presidency at the mex
election.
The mediators and Washington Off
cIals declined to indicate whether the,
had received similar information from
Mexico city, but It was apparent that II
both quarters important developments o
favorable character were expected il
the near future.

No statement from Siegel was received
by Stanchfield & Levy up to the time their
ofrlce closed last night. John II. Stanch-
field said over the telephone last night
that he had not heard from his client In
the last few days Louis S. Levy could
not be found but Slegfried +. Hartman
of the lawyers Office told THE SUN that
he had not been notified that
Siegel was sending a statement. although,

England. Mr.. Hartman said his office
would probably receive word from Siegel
this morning. In which case statement
will be given to the press.

Sudden Liquidation and Bears.

The Bache Review" Of last week said
When the market is passing through a
long period of dulness. with more or less
or sagging tendency. inexperienced
spectators. who have good margins and
are perfectly able to hold on, do so for
long time. But as the weeks pass on they
become very tired nevertheless, they re-
main resolute. This class is usually in
some other business and the persistent
dulness in their own business and the
suppression Of encouraging confidence in
all trade make them still more weary.
Then comes some acutely bad news. like
the Mexican crisis with pronounced sag
ging in prices. Now all at once and at
last they sell out precipitately This is
real liquidation. which has been absent
from the market for a long time. but has
shown itself IN the last few DAYS
THE bears scent this thing like carrion
from afar. and hurl their weight into
drives TO push prices lower. So we get
the kind Of market We have been having
this week. The bears are. after all. the
salvation OF it, and after they have used

The Norslinger circular Of the 18th

tarded the distribution Of seasonaple
merchandise and caused considerable
accumulation Of goods. Commercial
paper is still unusually scarce for the
time Of year, despite favorable rates.
Failures were somewhat fewer than the
previous week. but more than the cor
responding week of the year before.
Bank clearings, which had been max
ing favorable comparisons with 1913
fell off. but this unfavorable compari-
son may be due 10 the fact that this
year included holidays at some centres.
Bank Of England Stronger.
The Bank of England's return OF last
week showed some Improvement
Though, after some competition, the
new South African gold of the week
was taken above mint price by the
Continent, bullion holdings Of the Bank
at last made an increase, amounting 10
a little over 100000. Deposits de-
creased and circulation was materially
contracted. The proportion Of reserve
TO liability. which had been steadily de-
creasing. went ND from 1874 the previ-
GUS week to 4199 This is, however,
still considerably below the seasonal
rate. as are bullion holdings.
In Paris the Bank of France added
about 100000 francs to its gold.
Circulation was further reduced some
81 coo, 900 francs, and with an increase
of 100000 in general deposits. dis
counts and advances were l3IWO,0oo
less. The Imperial Bank Of Germany
added 100000 marks TO its gold and
reduced its circulation by 100000
Deposits increased about 100000
marks, while loans and discounts de-
creased 161, 100000 marks
Money here was in its customary
abundance. Call loans again were
made within a narrow range of 1a4 TO >
per cent Time accommodation was
little sought at slightly easier rates.
Sterling exchange held generally firm.
closing on Saturday at 4.8G95 TO 1850,
against 4S6SO to 4.S6S5 the week be-
fore.
The Clearing House statement Of
actual conditions showed rather less
effect of the weeks financing than had
been expected. Cash increased over
50, 800 900 and surplus reserve nearly
100000, with loans up $2S.0OO000
and deposits S3G,O0OO0O. Excess re-
serve, at sol, 67S, 400. is above the fig

lrregularity in Cotton.

There has been a good deal Of shifting
around In the cotton market I'm the last
week. with the May option the centre OF
the movement There was a slump Of SS
points from the close OF Thursday in
Mondays trading. and the other mouths
had TO come down little. Later there
was some steadiness with n partial re-
covery on Thursday and Friday. only 10
be followed by a break on Saturday which
wiped out almost the entire recovery and
left the market at close to the low OF the
week
There seemed 10 be no reasonable ex-
cuse for the sharp selling movement of
SATURDAY. but reasons are not always
available to explain cotton's fluctuations
The weekend figures made moderately
bulish showing. trade advices from
abroad had a cheerful tone, the export
movement was shown 10 be about 10000
bales ahead Of last years. the worlds
supply Of American cotton IS only $4,000
bales larger thau II was a year ago. the
government weather report, while not so
bad as some had looked for. was none too
favorable. and these facts led TO the con
clusiou that the drop OF Saturday was
mainly speculative. There is lurking
belief that the May option is still duo for
sharp advance. after the manner in
which March acted before all the shorts
had covered.

TRADE REGULATION
AT THIS SESSION
Corporate Financing Is Not Aided
by City Bond Sale-Bank
Surplus Less.

Securities continued their decline last
week TO low levels for the year. whlle
general business showed little sign Of
Improvement. The threat Of further
federal regulation Of trade was put into
concrete form IN a bill embodying the
administrations antitrust programme
while the expected time for the freight
rate decision was further postponed.
Success Of the city bond sale was not
so great as TO demonstrate any marker
change in investment conditions. The
approach of a crisis in Mexican affairs
produced little effect IN security mar
kets.
Hone that Congress, taken up with
the dispute over the Panama Tolls
question, might postpone antitrust
legislation until after the November
election was dispelled by announce

Intent Hard TO Prove.


Price discrimination in interstate
trade with the intent 10 injure or de-
strov the business Of a competitor is
forbidden. though such intent seems
rather difficult Of proof The pro-
vision that Leasing. selling, fixing
price or making a rebate is unlawful II
done on condition that competitor
shall not do likewise seems also hard
to enforce Prohibition Of improper
holding companies and IN a separate
bill. the establishment Of an interstate
trade commission are along the lines
already laid down.
The approach OF Congressional cleo
tions IS seen I'm provisions designed 10
placate the labor vote by freeing unions
IN some degree from regulations against
restraint of trade and in limiting con-
tempt proceedings and the issuance of
interlocutory injunctions. The specific
permission that labor unions may carry
out the legitimate objects OF their as
sociations IS, from the union point Of
view, a rather dubious concession. IT
apparently makes nothing lawful that
has already been held unlawful, and
leaves in force such decisions as that
prohibiting boycott through blacklist
rendered in the Danbury hatters' case.
Municipal Bonds Popular.
The great popularity of municipal
bonds, free from the income tax and
from state and federal regulation, was
shown in the successful sale by the
