DAILY 0 JAHUAltr 11, 1503. ijOiiim V jl--...' ft ii 1 V 4 - ' t' r Ey C. WINTHROP AMES. The mifle nhlc on th New York r!is art a subject of constant dlscus f "ni by tome ot the musical magaztnes, foremost among which In The1 Musical t mirier. This maaasin has. adopted a joncy of using excerpt from the critic Wis of the newspapers to how how un reliable ura the reports offered by the t-rltics..- On . th appearance of-- Nordica . tue following contrary criticisms were n'erd by the New York dallies: "Seldom If ever nave w . beard Madam. Nordlca'e throat give out such -sharp and strident tones, a H did last, night, -Nordlca'e voice showed signs of wearvi Madam XJordlca was not in good voloa last even ing." The favorable side 1 represented a follows: .'How luscious and peautiful la the voice fof Nordics-, e ,fc is as i opulent and ravtHhing as ever. '' She rose ' to the height of her powers, singing the music with v opulence of voice and real dramatlo fevor.--. Nordics,- was .herself, which Is to say a singer of rarest ex cellence with commanding brilliancy o)l soprano .tones.' ' j r Ot Bembrtch the, following difference el opinion were expressed: - "'The music ot Mlml taxes vat'i times Madam Sembrlch'a . lower register, which, shows distinctly the . ravages of ' time. Bembrlch's gestures and facial expres sion seemed somewhat exaggerated and artificial. Sembrloh slmultation of faint-' ; Ing auggeated the acting of a marionette. The other, side Is-indioated thusi'Tt is always with a delightful shock- of sur prise that we hear the lovely vocal art of Madam -Sembrioh adjust! itself to the hot blooded style, of these young Italians. Tep lmnArona.tlnn in now develoned In all its details. All the work of Bembrtch was good. But her art Is always with her, and those who- know what -really good singing Is enjoy hearing-her great skill when she has to contend with dif ficulties. The 'Caro Nome' she has never rendered more" brilliantly," ' . Of Haoul Pugo. the- great Trench pianist, the critics differ as follows; "A brutal,- noisy fortissimo took - the place cf pr-claslcl reserve. He was frequ ently rude and generally 'prosaic. Some times his) tempi were so fast that the ear could not separate one tons from another Unllvely contrasts and bursts of loudness give his play an explosive ef- ftv - PiinTla ' NnhnulI h' hwlf ill '.not , to imitate the- noise made by Pugno. -.Hi art a final splitting- of the atmosphere with the crash of cords." "The listen ing ears, are ravished by the sparkle, the radiance, the - sheer beauty of Pugo'a tone. Pugo . was at his 'best yesterday. Thersi was slurring! every not was-.a gem of phrystalllne' clarity.'"-! It was a gracious, ' delicate performance, sosv ex quisite that criticism was disarmed. He . wakes a, specialty of delicate effects.' Of Jan Kubellk,," the famous; Bohemian violinist are-: the- - following criticisms: "Kubellk charms have not matured. .His mood was cold and Impersonal. His In tenatkm 9 was occasionally, at fault, There was a certain sort of restraint in tils playing of the Mosart concerto. There 1s sttU much of the dross of the virtuoso about his artistic methods, y Kubellk is -not ef ths Interpreters who can make the Brucht -fantasy seem worth playing.' "In Avieniawski Kubellk was in bis element., -There was-in his playing a .spirit, ' an abandon, that go. by the- comprehensive name ., of temperament, His - art v has matured. Ho -was never, at fault as to the pitch. -k Before all things Kubellk is -a virtuoso. Mr.ii KubelUb has the- funda-. mental- requisite of a lovely Mozart style, a singing tone and a fluent contilena, " "For buty -absolute,, In auallty ot tone, Irt symmetry of phrase, in equanlmltty of timbre' from - the lowest tone within the titterance of the violin up "to the -highest "reaches, in a sustained and easy grace. In a repose fulness which banished ail thought of effort, Mr. Kubelik'e perform ahee was impeccable." Of th woik ,of Alice Nielsen: "Mies Nielsen's voice is shrill in ths upper register,, 'Her voice was pallid, not smooth,- She- would' possibly have been squat to 4 the 1 demands of ths ' Paris Grand Opera in summer, if they ever did the work there, but it was not fluits up tj ths level o( ths Casino stage,- not eVen v i t t f '., 4 I - .. v.

She- certainly has the personality and the youth ana freshness of voice that go far toward success In light -opera -of -nt-choL' He colorai turu is almoHt faultless.' JHer voles is an benutlfui and mellow as. before." f- - The foregoing are but a few samples of the eritlclsm. that . have been offered by the metropolitan critics a to the quality of art representedby the leading muslcal artists. ' Other crltlclems .of ; a similar nature will, be oltered.from tiros to time, One Of ths musicat magaslnesr , is : re sponsible for the following item: ' Every child, particularly -the girls. In the Philip- ?ine Inlands, has a piano when it 1s 6pr years old. if its parents can afford to buy or hire one: and the Manila directory contains a long list of teachers, of in strumental tnuaio, who seem to be busy.

' " r New Orleans, Jan. 11 The chief feature of the cotton market this morning was the rumor, that Price had covered all his shorts and was about to- turn bulU- This Just about' suited the humor of the trade and, for 'a Baturday,- a very fair advance was established, - the active positions in the' trading up "to 11 o'clock, advancing nearly a dollar a bale ahoy the level of yesterday's closing.

The trade paid no- attention to the bearish visible supply siBitmn v.-x rom iaa upeums im market' had an undercurrent of bullish ness which seemed to be based on the be lief that the cotton convention In sesBion in tnis ciiy wouin reauiv in iikuwv uius up. the cotton remaining in the country.. During the first part of the morning the market' was very idull but very steady with but little business doing and prices at an advance of a fw points above the level of yesterday's closing It only needed ' the : telegrams . from New York concerning Fries to start the ball rolling and when, they rame the ring immediate ly beoame active.' Both bulls and bears bought and the result was to put prices up quickly until March and May were IB and 11 point higher, than yesterday's close. Tttl carries the trading up to 11 o'clock. ' ' Many bears did ttbt believe that Price had covered his shorts and in support of their belief produced - oonfidenclal tele grams from iNew York In which Price waa quoted as stating that he had not bought a bale of cotton during the morn ing.

Special to TJb Observer. New York Jan. 18. The concern shown In some quarters over the rumor of a -possible squeese In March seems to have let a good slsed eat out of the bag For months past- we have heard that there was no short Interest in the market; that bulls had loaded themselves up with longs while the contracts sold them rep resented hedges against spot cotton held by . merchants and middlemen who could find no sale for It, and therefore that QMMEMT .GBO. STEPHENS, Ghaiir '-f ''It liquidation of- the long infereat was a t-erUinty, and a big bieak In prices must naturally "result. The covering of short March's in great quantities during the pust few dnvs and their - transfer Into May at a diflerence of ? to points die pelled alt such illusions and demonstrated beyond a doubht th existence ot a large unprotected short interest, if Bpot peo ple wer short of March against their holdings, they would certainly deliver the cotton for the simple reason that they could buy It back again in the shape of May contracts at a cost of only i or points while the actual cost of carrying the same cotton from March until May valued to points. No spot holders would dream of . deliberately ' throwing away 880 on each contract by shifting nis hedges from March Into May. Probably this discovery,-: as much' as the harmony shown in the deliberations of the New Orleans convention has had much to do with' th uneasiness exhibited by shorts. It is cer tainly remarkable to find prices 10 points higher in the face of an estimate Of 10, 896,870 by the banking house of R. T. Wil son & Company, whose railway effila Hons throughout the South lend more than nsual weight to their figures. : During the past week the Improvement In prices has not been more than a few points but,' tHe "repeated attempts to reach a lower level than the previous one. were, defeated, and the closing -ts about 15 to 18 points higher than the lowest of the week. - -.v; ' :' The moat striking feature haa been the relative strength of March, the discount on which from May decreased from 17 points to , only 7 points.
