COUNT BURIED IN POVERTY.
Spent His DECLINING Years In Vainly
Awaiting an Inheritance.

New York, March 25.-Edward Henry Count
Won Stadnitzki, So years DID, scion of one of
the oldest and most distinguished Polish fam
lilies in Galicia, Austria, who date their ances-
try back to the eleventh century, was buried
yesterday from the st. Nicholas Roman Cath
olic church, IN Second street, near avenue A.
Count Won Stadnitzki died in Bellevue Hos
pital last Sunday and was buried at the ex-
pense Of n poor German who had befriended
him for year-John Goetz, an employe on
the Ninth avenue railroad, who lives with his
wifs and three children in a rear tenement at
l2i East Fourth street.
The count had for the last few years lived
in the hope of receiving the proceeds from the
settlement of the estate of his mother, but on
the day preceding his death he received word
that nothing would come to him. The counts
friends maintain that he was the cousin of the
wife of Ladislaus Hengel- Muller Won Henge-
var, Austrian ambassador at Washington.
The latter, however, has announced that
Count Stadnitzki was in no way related to his
family, and that he knows nothing of the

day, cotton opened ON this side barely steady,
with little buying by local operators and
somo by Liverpool. There was some liquida-
ticn OF April stock, tomorrow being notice
day. but the April interests were not very ex-
tensive. There was also some covering by
shorts i'm the new crop positions.
The Liverpool advices were rather better
than expected. Futures showed slight do
cline but the spot demand showed a slight i'm
crease. The sales atoday aggregated 10000
bales and the port receipts were about 7OOO
bales, against 1921 last week and 6630 last
year.
Wheat was inactive, but fraction higher at
the opening today, and there was some infor-
nation that seemed to give ground for the be-
lief that there might soon be an advance in
the stock.
In Liverpool this morning wheat and col IN
were firm, but little lower. In London off
coast wheat was quiet, but steady; passage
wheat was dull. The English country markets
were quiet and steady.
At the noon hour there was no decided ten
dency to the wheat market. According to
the dispatches 10 Sullivan Bros. & Co., trade
was very light and the offerings were small.
The crop news was still bad, but there was
good buying, and the information that 25O,-
900 bushels of No. Northern were sold late
yesterday from Duluth for export was well re-
ceived.
The wheat reports are m ore gloomy from
Illinois. and there Is consider able complaint
from Indiana and Missouri, but the news is
generally favorable elsewhere. The recent
weather has been favorable for certain locali-
ties. Iowa expects a large increase in the
spring wheat area. Oats seeding is retarded
bv the moisture.
Beerbohm attributes the lessened flour de-
mand not to corn substitution, but TO an
abundance of vegetables and cheap colonial
meats obtainable at to cents per pound.
