Price movements on the stock EX-
change were mixed IN to-day's ses-
sion Of the market. pront- taking be-
ing In evidence in some pnrts OF the
list. while hull pools were suCcCssful
in marking mp their profits in oil and
oil-rnil shares.
In the early trading there was an
effort to mark up tho price OF steel,
but on account Of persistent selling
which was reported to be coming
from a pool which is cndeavoring to
unload thoir holdings. not much head
way was made and for the remainder
OF the day steel moved within q
comparatively narrow range.
Hopes of n compromise In the steel
price dispute have all hut been aban-
doncd. However. It is the concensus
OF financial opinion that tho steel in
dustry will be benefited rather than
Is that II prices are governed solely
by the law OF supply and demand
higher quotations will soon prevail.
Steel stocks other than u. S. steel
ruled flrm throughout the session.
Bullish speculation day centred
largely In oil stocks. in which II Is
comparatively easy to attract a large
public following. Royal Dutch, which.
according to report, lis being accumu-
lated By English interests. moved up
to 9s 8. u gain OF 5-S points over the
final price OF yesterday. Texas and

Of more than points over yesterday.
The sharp upward movement in thls

Outwardly, little attention liz being
paid 20 the crisis that has developed
at the Peace Conference. The opn-
ion persists that the matter will in
some way be amlcably adjusted
Equipment shares under the leader
ship OF Baldwin were in better de-
mand, Coppcrs were irregular.
During the last hour further ir-
regularity developed and II seemed
that the markets technical position
has again become weak or that fresh
favorable news Is needed before the
rise can be resumed on an important
sale.

CUMPSON DISPLAYS
PROGRESS AT PIANO
ShoDs Merits in Recital at
Aeolian Hall.

Harry Cumpson, a pianist, formerly
OF Buffalo, but now living in New York,
gave recital yesterday afternoon at
Aeolian Hall. He played in the same
hall last season.
Mr. Cumpson opened his programme
with Mozarts F major sonata, which he
followed with Liszt's in B minor. His
performance Of Liszt's music was by
far the more successful. Mozart's sonata
was given with careful regard for
note and phrase, but there was a lack
of the proper spirit.
The Liszt sonata evidently taxed the
pianist's powers to the utmost, and in
this work there was some lack of techni-
cal finish and of broad sweeping style.
But these defects aside. the player de-
livered 1t with a good understanding of
dynamics and general intelligence. Sim
liar merits were shown in three preludes
Of Rachmaninoff, opus 80, Nos. IL and
s. and opus 90, No. ..
Several pieces by Palmgren were In
his list and two etudes by Moszkowski,
who was one OF his teachers Mr.. Cump-
sons art shows progress.
