Colombian Money
Circulation a Novelty.
Counterfeit Notes Become GENUINE
in Order to Save Money-Its
Value in United States
Currency.

The current statement that Colon.
bian money is not more valuable
than Confederate money was dur.
ing the last days of the, civil war is
certified by the testimony OF
Washington man * who recently
spent some time in Bogota. He
describes some phases of business
|inGolembia whieh,as lsast possess
the merit, OF, poyeltg..a The paper
money issued by Colombia has be-
come so depreciasedsthat'a,do is
worth only ] cent in United States
currency. Cigarettes cost $15 a
PACKAGE pair of shoes, $400; a
hat, $500, etc.
"A counterfeit note for $40 was
found to be circulating in large
quantities, their estimated face
value being about 100000. AS
the banks found it hard to dis
tinguish between the genuine and
the bogus, the government was
asked to. decide. Thereupon an
ingenious idea was conceived to
save a lot of money to the Column
bian government, which had be-
tween twenty and thirty millions
of that particular note in circula-
ton. The two notes were carefully
compared, and it was decided that
the counterfeit would better go for
the true note, thus reducing the
obligation from thirty to two mill
lions. 1t was regarded as a great
coup, and the author was rewarded
accordingly.

LOCAL MARKETS.

Cotton prices were unchanged yester- day. The local stocks and bonds mar ket was very quiet and there were no de- velopments in the list of quotations
 All staple grocery lines are steady Even dry salt meats and lard are un- changed for today. Trade in this mar ket is brisk at present, but all prices are holding steady and the situation is de- void of interest.
 With the approach of cold weather shipments are beginning to increase in volume along Morris avenue. Fancy fruits of various kinds are coming in regularly and seem to be finding a good sale. Concord grapes are much in evil dence. The fruit brings a good price and is delicious. Apples in small crates are to be found at several places, but the supply is not very abundant. Bananas continue plentiful enough to satisfy all demands. Oranges are rather scarce just at present owing to light shipments Pears and peaches are not so much in evidence as was the case a few weeks ago when the Georgia shipments were arriving in such large numbers.
 Northern onions arc selling for Pc per pound Peas, black and gray-eyed, are selling for $2 per bushel.

By Gilbert & Clay.
 New York September 17.-Although the bank rate was unchanged London was lower Good sharp recoveries devel- oped from the start in the grangers on more favorable reports regarding corn. and while further frosts were indicated through the corn belt for tonight warm CT weather was expected to follow. Shorts covered rather freely and there was an active demand for Copper Sugar and United States Steel H. c. Prick was reported as saying that the steel trade was in good shape and that United States Steel common was sure of its dividends for at least two years. For all this there was renewed selling in the shares and they came out in large blocks. The coalers were sluggish if not heavy while there was renewed selling of Brooklyn Rapid Transit despite the talk of the stock being taken over by Standard oil interests. New York Gen. tral was bid up a point but slump in Northwestern below 160 attracted atten- ton. Atchison, Union Pacific and coal CTS were in good demand During the afternoon depression was market in the general market. Steel common made new low level the laying up of the lake by strike and the Iron Age report of pig iron production overtaking consump- tion outweighing all other considerations. Nevertheless shorts covered very freely late in the session with the appearance of support; in fact a covering movement was in progress all around.

Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, September livery cool weather was reported in the cotton belt today, more especially in the southwest. Galveston reported one-sixth of last years receipts and the ports on the whole were so far behind last year as to attract attention, Deterioration reports are still coming in everywhere and the belief is that most of them are so we'll founded as to preclude expectation of a yield of such magnitude as "a prevent prices advancing
 An enormous short Interest is reported in all parts of the country but nervous ness is already being shown because of the cool weather and it would require ht- tie to bring about a great stampede among buyers who are especially anxious about the movement. Early prices de- clined to 9 points due in a measure to weakness in Liverpool where there was a small failure. but later they rallied on signs of cold wave tomorrow in Ark ansas The bull pool were buying again and the general situation as to weather
