Rome, Feb. Wagnerion opera has returned to the stage of the Costanz Theater in Rome without a protest. "Die Walkure" was ad- vertised as the second offering in a season which opened with Mas caghi's Iris" No criticism of the plan to produce the German opera appeared in the press. The theater was crowded and no objectors inter- fered with performance which the press of Rome commended highly.
 It is strange coincidence that Richard Wagner again walked across the stage of the Costanzi at the same time Austrian children came into Italy by the thousands to es- cape the hunger and privation of their unhappy country" one of the Rome papers commented.

New Orleans, Feb. 14.- Heavy buy ing was felt by cotton today and th, market scored material advances The inquiry was stimulated mojnlg by the favorable showine of Amer can mill statistics for January. Or, the first call there was hesitation. the market not knowing just how to take the resignation of Secretary Lansing, but after slight decline j determined buying movement set in. During the middle part of the se9- sion considerable realizing came on the market from the long side and prices reacted, but toward the close the demand became general again and the market fjrmed tip rapidly. The close was 32 to 40 up.
 In the mill statistics from the cen sus bureau the figures on consump- tion of 591 ,725 bales during January were mainly regarded Private c7ti- mates were around 587,G00 bales, but many traders hardly looked for such a total because eonsumptiou in December was only t,585 bales. Much was made of the fact that act we spindlee during January number ed 31,73o,07t, and broke all records
