NOTES or THE MARKETS.

Cuthbert & Co. report as follows con-
corning yesterdays markets:
Wheat started off firm under good
buying by large interests on bullish pri-
vate advices from Paris and Liverpool
which were backed up by liberal buy
inc orders. The French crop is said to
have deteliorated considerably of late,
and any further decrease. in condition
would bring France into our market as
a good buyer for both cash wheat and
futures. Later in the day the market
reacted and closed IA cents below the
closing on Tuesday. The export de-
mand was light, and this, together with
absurd rumors that the White Squad
ron had been ordered to Havana, ac-
| CELEBRATED the selling in the late trad
| ing.
| The stock market started off firm this
morning under the bullish influence of
more favorable advices in regard to the
European political situation and con-
tinued covering movement in the indus
trials. notably in Tobacco. Sugar and
| Leather. The statement of earnings
| of the st, Paul company for the third
week in February showed an increase
of STOP, which was a very favorable
exhibit, as a decrease of fully $4,000
| had been expected.
Nothing startling emanated from the
Lexow investigation, and the better
prospects for the granger roads helped
| prices. The introduction, however, of
the Cuban resolutions in congress and
their warlike tenor unsettled prices and
the market closed weak.
The immediate course of prices will
depend to a great extent upon what
congress does in regard to the Cuban
! question.

Cleveland, July 11.-John d. Rookie
Teller has been sued in the common

the vessel owner, for an accounting.
Corrigan, who was In Rockefeller's
debt, gave the latter as collateral Sc
curity, it is asserted, $500 shares of

The petition is not on file in court,
but it is said the stock was credited
at the rate of 1888 a share. 1t sold yes
terday for 1913. Corrigan declined to-
day to discuss it. He said he had
asked for an accounting, and when
asked the amount of his claim he said:
II can not tell; l don't know how
much 1t will be. L contend only that
was not allowed what the stock was
worth. The Standard Oil Company
is a trust and I was on the outside"

DOWNPOUR OF WATER
NEAR NEWBURG, n. Y.
Hudson River Railroad Track WASH
ed Out-Many Buildings
Torn Down.

Newburg n. Y, July l5.-Melzinga res
ervoir, in Fish mountain, near Mattea-
wah, burst at o'clock yesterday morn
ing, owing to the heavy rains. The water
ran into the creek, and two miles below,
near Butchess junction, it washed away
the brick yards and buildings including
boarding house occupied by laborers. 1t
is reported that nine are drowned and
others missing.
The flood at Duchess junction washed
away 200 yards of the Hudson River rail
road track Trains are stalled on each
side of the break. There were two reser-
yoirs in the mountains, the lower one
mile distant from the other. The upper
one gave way, letting a volume of water
into the ravine The Van Buren, and the
Timin brickyards, on the Hudson just be-
low Duchess Junction, are mile distant
from the site of the lower reservoir With
out warning the flood reached them
through the ravine and created havoc.
Buildings were torn in pieces and their
occupants carried away in the raging
flood.
The water works system was operated
by a private company, and supplied the
villages of Mattewan and Fishkill on the
Hudson.
A temporary trestle has been built at
the break in the Hudson River railroad
track. and the Montreal express, south
bound, passed over. 1t will be late this
afternoon before trains can be run on
time
At o'clock seven bodies had been re
covered. Two of them were those of Peter
Mulligan and his wife, who kept the
boarding house for the brick yard labor
ers, that was swept away by the flood.
The names of the others are not known.
1t is reported that 20 are still missing.
Tons of earth and sand were washed
down in the flood and the men are dig
ging into this mass to recover the other
bodies. Trains were stalled all the way
from Fishkill to Poughkeepsie, One of
these was a Cook excursion train, the
passengers on which expected to start
for Europe today
The reservoir, the breaking of which
caused havoc at Duchess Junction, is
situated in the Fishkill mountains a mile
east of the junction. 1t collects the wa
ter from the north side of South Beacon
and the south side of the neighboring
mountain and is 500 feet above tide wa
ter. It's overflow reaches the Hudson by
way of a small stream known as Towanda
creek. At the west end of the ravine are
the devastated brick yards The reser-
voir is of oval shape and about 500 feet
long and 300 feet wide and 80 or 35 feet
deep. 1t is used as an auxiliary supply
to the regular waterworks system of
MatteWan and Fishkill Landing, from the
main source of which it is distant about
four miles.
The largest reservoir of this system is
Il considerable lake near North Beacon
which has massive masonry and is intact.
a second reservoir situated much lower
down the mountain, which was built to
reduce the pressure into the pipes, is also
unbroken. These two have direct con-
nectiOn with the Duchess junction reser-
voir, though all three feed into the same
pipes.
