MARQUIS cohDoVA large Spanish es-
tate. Since then in every city he has
visited his life has been one of per-
petual terror and murderous assaults
have been made on him.
The Spanish estate is valued at ST.
100000 and belonged to another branch
of the marquis family. Before setting
out on his quest for the lost papers.
which had been stolen from the Catta-
PAM home in Italy. he employed French
detectives. These after n time. sum-
moned him to London, believing that
they had located the papers there. The
marquis was then at Monte Carlo. One
night before he set out for London he
was fired on. The incident did not
greatly alarm him. as he was then ig-
norant of the conspiracy against his
life.
On reaching London he received an
anonymous letter in Spanish, threat
ening him with death of he persevered
in his efforts to secure the estate He
laid the matter before the Italian am
bassador but no clew could be found
to those who threatened his life. A lit
tie later, while in Birmingham, he was
assaulted by three men on one of the
streets of the city. He was found,
later, lying on the pavement uncon-
scious. When he recovered he returned
to London and there received word
from one of his detectives in New York
tn hnt nth
parently his enemies learned of his Inv
tention of sailing for the new world,
for few nights before his departure
he was assaulted in his room. His as
sailants bound and gagged him and
then tied him securely to the bed, after
which they lighted a fire in the CRATE
and turned on the gas at full pressure.
Meantime they had ransacked his pa
pers. Fortunately the janitor of the
building smelled the gas and traced
Its escape to its source in time to re-
lease the marquis.
During April, 1901, the marquis sailed
for New York and took up his quarters
well uptown. Here, one day, he re-
ceived letter asking him to meet the
writer at South Ferry and take his
papers along. The letter went on to
state that If the marquis claims were
well founded he could have the missing
papers then and there.
On reaching South Ferry he saw a
carriage in waiting and was invited by
two men to step in and drive with
them to an Office where the matter
could be arranged. This was at 10
O'Clock on Monday morning and when
again the marquis was conscious Of
anything it was Friday night and he
found himself lying in bed in a hut.
near what he subsequently found was
Prospect Park. Brooklyn When he en-
tered the carriage he was apparently
hit in the head by some weapon, for
he carries a scar as a memento of the
occasion. He believes he vas also
drugged
When he regained consciousness in
the hut he heard voices in an adjoining
room and heard the question of his kill
ing discussed. This thoroughly aroused
him and he made his escape through a
window. Subsequently he tried to find
the hut. but failed. The police were
also unable to solve the mystery.
The marquis has not yet found the
lost papers and apparently IS as far
from attaining the Spanish estate as
ever.

OUTSIDE SECURITIES.

There was a continuation to-day of that
bearsh sentiment which dominated the
market for unlisted securities Saturday.
Extensive liquidation carried prices down
to a much lower level. In several cases
it resulted in the establishing Of lower
records. Pressure to sell regardless Of
values was shown and numerous wide
changes occurred. The earliest declines
extended from u to a maximum of S
points. Subsequently a moderate recuper-
ative power was shown, but none of the
opening losses We're cancelled. The re-
cesSionS were heaviest in the Standard

COTTON GOSSIP.

Cotton market opened to-day quite &C
tive. but on a lower basis. The first call
developed an easy feeling. with prices IN
changed TO nine points lower and ruled
quite weak, but active; during the early
forenoon underselling following disap-
pointing cables and generally favorable
weather reports from the cotton belt.
Many trader expected quite general
frost in the cotton belt over Sunday, which
this mornings weather map failed to
confirm, while leading to increased crop
estimates in the local market field is only
partially offset by increased estimates re-
sarding the worlds requirements of Anne
rican cotton. Selling later in the session
was checked by. indications Of small re-
ceipts with the official port estimate for
the day $1,000 bales. New Orleans con-
tributed less than expected. The most
potent influence is the fine weather, which
keeps the undertone of the market weak
against all other considerations.

In the spot market, offerings We're

due in part to the continued prevalenCa
of cotton-making weather in the belt. and
IN part to the downward tendency at
Liverpool. The opening was followed by
further decline of ) points, and at that
level there was q slight development of
reactionary sentiment, and preponder-
ance OF buying orders caused prices to

tuated a few points in both directions.
