MESSAGE In A BOTTLE.
No One Has Yet Been Able to Trans
late the Letter.
Considerable Interest and Speculation
About the Monte Taber.

PRovINcETowN Mass, Sept. 15.-The
senational incident attending the wreck
of the Italian brigantire Monte Taner,
on Peaked Hill Bar, at midnight. Sun
oay,and the narrow sa ape from death in
the wave OF seven members of the crew
who came ashore uron wreckage yester-
day morning and by signs, for they
could neither speak nor understand Eng
lisb, made known the fact that the car-
tain and mate had committed suicide,
have not lost interest as matters Of spec
ulation and comment here today.
The mysterious note found in bottle
bearing tine name OF the barkentine and
signed by the captsin. l.. Genaro, for
which no satisfactory Interpretation has
yet been secured, whicn was picked up
by Captain Lewis of The life saving sta
iion, is being scanned again and again.
but 1t Is still untrsnslated. The message
Is not in pure Italian evidently, for those
who are sufficiently acquainted with the
language 10 attempt 10 read can find only
here and there word which is intellig-
ible. Under these circumstances, the
most that can be made OF the writing is
that ii is q last statement OF the captain,
In view OF impending death. 1t Is plain
that the note was written In latitude 40
north, longitude 20 west, and III, ir az
pears TO be a fragmentary description of a
Storm in which Quantity OF light
ming" was seen- after which "great
rocks" were seen after having been
driven 30 miles in tempestuous weather.
Then follows an appeal TO Providence for
mercy and forgiveness, which in tho
light of su subsequent events seem to indi-
cate that suicidal intent was then present
and the noto closes with farewell to
several persons who are mentioned by
the writes as II they were members Of
the writer's family or lniinn fricnos.
One of those uentioned is a woman.
With this intcm )lete sio'y N mind tie
sbipwrecked sanors have been approached
by intere ted persons who r. by signs
TO learn still more about the strange
atiGir hut the at mps has so far been USE
less. An effort will be made today TO
bring the men before an interpreter, from
whom it is hoped, the whole story will
he learned.

American Stocks Sell
Higher in London.
No Material Rally in the Home
Market Today.
Financiers Are Content to Let Well
Enough Alone fOr'the Present.

As intimated yesterday, there was no
sensational advance Ia the price Of stocks
todsy resulting from the splendid re-
turns from Maine.
That Republican vote made every busi-
ness man and tnancier in the country re-
joice but it did not make them reckless
and the tendency today is to let well
enough alone. The stock market hangs
just about on the healthy level, which it
went up TO two weeks ago and at which
point il has been supported. partly by
the influence of gold importations and
partly by the anticipation of the Maine
vote. therefore the good effects OF yes
terday's election were felt in advance ard
there is no solace for the Bryapites to
point TO today's change and say they are
no better than they were yesterday at the
best.
ToDAY's TRANSACTIONS.
The receipt of higher London quota
tions, together with moderate purchas-
ing orders for foreign account Of promi-
nent international shares, contributed to
a strong and highe opening OF the stock
market, substantial gains being generally
scored. Burlington rose a to eS, Sugar
.1-S to 1l5lo, Rock lslsnd to e0s.
Trading was In good volume and was
fairly well sustained.
Opening prices for the active stocks were:
Sugar, 115; A.chisoD, II; Tobacco 63 7-S;
General Electric, 27l4; Chicago Gas. GO;
Burlington, 6s; Rock Island, 60A; st.
Paul, Il; Northwest. 9S; Louisville &
Nashville, Al; Western Union, 81;
Leather preferred, 81; Southern prefer
red, 211o; Wheeling q Lake Erie, 6 3-S;
Manhattan, s4ll; New Jersey Central,
1C0 7-S.
Realizations tended to retaro the i'm
proving tendency. and although support
was evident 10 some OF the specIaliies,
the general list soon succumbed to re-
sumption of bear pressure induced by
foreign advices indicating q reaction in
securities on the London Stock Exchange
on renewed concern as TO the eastern
political situation.
The Changers and Industrials bore the
brunt of the sales. The concessions
otherwise were a point or therea bouts
with many stocks receding below ysster-
days close. Considerable activity is
noted, with large blocks OF shares chang
ing hands at important variation in value.
