The New York Curb Market.

NEW YORK. July 15.-In sympathy
with the sharp fall in prices on the stock
exchange the market for outside securi-
ties in the early dealings today wss de-
cidedly heavy and scme decided declines
were scored, though later on when the
general market rallied prices on the
curb did likewise. Standard Oil,
though not freely traded in. suffered the
most severe break, the stock at one time
selling 10 points under Saturdays closing,
with a subsequent rally of points. The
American Can issues, however, were the
principal features of speculation, and on
active trading they fell away 212G3A
points for the common and preferred re-
spectively, later moving up 1d1l5 points
from the low figures. Consolidated To
bacco As were also very active and broke
29s points, though they afterward fully
made up this loss. The Seaboard Air
Line securities were likewise notably
weak features of the morning session,
but during the afternoon rallied in COM
pany with the balance of the market.
Transactions in them were light

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Heavy Liquidation Felt in Both
Wheat and Corn.

CHICAGO, July l5.-Wheat was firm
early with corn and steady Liverpool ca
bles, which were I'D higher. When corn
weakened wheat quickly followed and de-
clined cents. Owing to the heavy COW
erius of shorts on Friday and Saturday
the market was in weak speculative
condition and local traders took advan-
tage of it and sold freely. Commission
house trade was light and featureless.
With the exception of the large primary
receipts statistical returns were bullish.
ClearanceS were 10000 bushels. Seaboard
reported lG loads.
Corn opened higher because there was
practically no change In the Western sit
uation, but the market felt the effect of
ually weakened The bears were more
courageous and sold on reports of scat
tered showers in Kansas and Nebraska.
There was lack of support and the
market acted as though there was still a
liberal long Interest. On the decline a few
local bulls took back some of their lines.
The heavy outside trade so conspicuous
last week was absent. Local stocks OF
corn increased 33e, 900 bushels. The visibly
supply decreased 495, 600 bushels. Country
acceptances are little larger. There was
no cash business. Receipts were 459, with
$50 cars estimated for tomorrow.
Oats opened strong, but turned easier
with corn. There was no special feature
to the trade. The outside continues a
fair buyer. The closing was fairly strong
and is showing a disposition to act indie
pendent of other grains. Local stocks
of oats decreased $4,000 bushels. The visi-
BILE supply decreased LII. 600 bushels. Re
ceipts were 104, with $50 estimated for
tomorrow.
There was a weak opening in provi-
sions. Commission houses sold rather
freely then and throughout the day for
scattered longs who were influenced by
the large hog movement. lower prices for
same, and easier grain markets. Packers
started buying at the early decline and
this demand caused a partial reaction and
the market closed steady. Today's cash
trade was moderate,

 and clear weather prevailed In the South. Bullish crop news was the rule. The average estimate of 1O,55O,O 900 made by 135 members of the Memphis Cotton Exchange Is considered fair one. The lowest estimate was nine and three-quar- ter million and the highest I,200, 900 bales. It may be said that a round 1O,- 800, 900 Is at this time regarded as a very good guess for the crop considering the claims on one side of considerable back and on the other side of the frost hay ing ended the growth and shipments being made with the usual promptness.

New Orleans, November 25.-In the spot cotton market today, although a legal holiday, there was a very fair movement. After hours Saturday some thing more than 1000 bales of f.

 Ordinarily a purely local legal holiday that has the effect of suspending of ficial workings in the market for con- tracts leaves the field wide open for curb trading and the brokerage element works almost as hard as during open hours in change. But today was an exception to the rule. What little Dusi- ness was done on the curb here was fairly close to Saturdays closing level, the fluctuations ranging back and forth 8 to 4 points, with leaolng operators on

FINDS THE NINETY
 NINE SILVER MINE
ONCE FAMOUS SILVER MINE IN
 THE CATSkILL RANGE AGAIN
 LocATED-EFFoRTs MADE TO KEEP THE DISCOVERY SECRET.

New York. November 25.-The Tribune prints the following: After being lost for seventy-fve years the "Ninety1nine" silver mine, once famous through the whole 'Catskill range, has been found again.
 At least that Is the belief of J. O. Poole, a mining expert, who Is said to live in Trenton, N. J. He has discovered a cave in the heart of the ShawangunlS mountains not far from Ellenville, Ul- ster county, New York, which exposes a wide vein of peculiar ore. Numerous assays show heavy value in lead. silver and other minerals.
 Every effort has been made to keep the discovery secret until mineral rights to the surrounding mountain property could be purchased. Poole and New Jersey men who are backing him are said to have secured such rights on more than 300 acres and are preparing to start ac- tive mining operations. The story of the accidental discovery of the mine was brought to this city from Kingston Judge J. A. Clearwater of Kingston re- turned from Ellenvile a few days ago and brought some specimens of the ore. Judge Clearwater said:
 "The mine takes its name from a Wa warsing Indian named NecDhakiptic, but better known as "Ninety-nine." The In dian lived near Sockasinni, and was ac- customed to come among the settlers of the valley with chunks of almost pure lead and silver, which he exchanged for provisions. He says he dug the ore in a cave in the Shawangunk mountains. A white friend Ben Deputy succeeded in persuading "Ninety-nine' to lead him to the cave with his eyes tightly bandaged. Deputy returned with tales of a wonder fully rich ledge. He did not succeed in finding the mine again, however, and "Ninety-nine" died with his secret un- told"

But the figures of the government to be published a week from tomorrow will be accepted as a good index and pending their receipts. trading is dull and people hesitate. Open ing today was generally shade higher except December, which was pressed for sale, causing three points less. The re- ceipts for the day at all ports promised to reach only 44,000 against 45,00O last year. An increased demand for account of continental spinners was reported at Liverpool today.

WEAKNESS IN LIVERPOOL

New York, November 25.-The cotton market opened steady, with prices 2 points lower to 8 points higher, and im- mediately turned firm on a scramble of shorts to cover.
 At the beginning of the call the room was bearishly influenced by weakness in Liverpool, but before the call ad- journed light interior receipts and short crop estimates from the south turned the tide of sentiment in favor of cotton. Jan uary advanced to 767 on buying for both accounts. Business from the outside pub lie, however, was not large enough to keep the market up, and by midday prices had slowly settled back to Saturday s final bids.
 Whereas the port receipts were moder- ate the interior towns fell far short of equal date last year. The weather south was generally fair. but temperatures con- tinued very low over important areas. In the afternoon the market was dull most of the time, but steadily held on scatter ing demand from room shorts and ab- sence of bear pressure. Prices kept with in a point or so of Sundays closing. As an offset to a light estimate for tomor. rows Houston receipts, New Orleans ar- rivals were predicted to be large and con- siderably over last years.
 The export movement exceeded the total receipts by a large margin. At the close the market was quiet and net 1 to points lower, having eased off a trifie under light selling for profits by room opera tors.
