Helena. July 7.-One of the most re-
markable cases of misplaced conf
dence that has ever come to light in
his state has just come out, in which
State Senator B. d. Phillips, a
wealthy sheepman of ChOteau county,
is said to have been fleeced out of
$4,000 by two fake foot racers. The
money is gone and nothing has been
heard Of the racers.
According to the tale that has been
told. and there is no doubt as to its
truth. gambler from MinOt n. D.,
came to Havre, in the northern part
Of the state. and represented himself
as foot racer. He recOunted his
prOwess to a Havre saloon keeper.
who offered to back him in a race, if
one could be arranged. Other Havre
persons who admire foot racing also
offered to back the MinOt man. In
all $4,000 was at the disposal of the
foot racer.
Another Foot Racer.
Soon afterWard another man came
to Havre and said that he. too, was a
foot racer He showed that he had
some ability in the sprinting line and
cCnfided to Senator Phillips, so ii is
said. that ne could easily defeat the
first man The only thing that pre-
,ented him from eating up his pros
Dective opponent was the fact that the
opponent had $4,000 behind him and
ne had only $500 with which to sup
port the high estimate he placed on
himself. He demonstrated to MI
Phillips that he could run, and it IS
said that Mr.. Phillips agreed to back
him for the amount necessary to make
up the $4,000 or $4,000.
The foot race took place June 10
a. Havre. The two men ran even for
a distance and then ran into each 9TH
ar. Both fell and the race was decIar
ed no contest and it was decided to
run on the following Saturday. The
whole town had turned out to witness
the race.
In the meantime the money had
been placed in a sack. in the hands OF
a stakeholder. The TWO foot racers
appeared in the presence Of the stake
holder and stated that they had
doubts about the money being in the
sack at all. The stakeholder produc-
ed the sack as evidence that the
money surelT was there. The two
sprinters seemed 10 be satisfied and
gave the stakeholder back the sack.
They left the place ana have not been
seen since.
Was Another Sack.
1t is stated that when the men had
possession of the bag containing the
stake money they kept it and handed
the stakeholder another sack, when
was of the identical pattern with the
genuine one When the sack was
opened later it was found to contain
a roll Of an old newspaper and three
or four One-dOllar bills.
The two men are reported TO nave
left for Canada and now, 1t is sald.

Senator Phillips is one OF the Iarg-
est sheepman in Montana and his

Monday, July 6.
SPIRITS-The turpentine market de-
veloped an easy tendency at one time
during the day. but strength was later
reported and after the closing the ;it-
uation was pretty we'll cleaned up at
the official price. The opening at the
Board of Trade was firm at 471ac, sales
152 casks, and the closing steady and
unchanged, no sales. After the clos
ing it was reported that factors hold
ings were well taken, and the market
again placed upon a firmer basis. In
the street frequent attacks are looked
for and the, intention is to guard
against declines where possible on
weak spots by either Withholding as
far as possible, or absorbing the Of
ferings for the accounts of interests
friendly to the market. This has been
the policy of the tank people. From
the country reports are rather fav-
orable, and the prospects for a fair
volume of receipts promising. though
there are few, if any, who estimate
this seasons production equal to that
of last year. To-day's receipts We're
500 casks, and the exports 30S casks.
ROSINS-There was little change in
to-day's rosin market, which opened
firm and unchanged from last Friday
no sales, and closed firm with water
white firm, $780, sales, LOOP barrels.
The demand was satisfactory on the
whole, and the offerings we'll taken.
While the demand does not appear to
be of an urgent nature it is sufficient
to impart resistance to any tendency
towards declines. The receipts were l.
637 barrels, and the exports 1924 bar

New Orleans, July 6.-Spot cotton
was quiet and weak. Quotat tons were
reduced 1ac per pound on all grades, in
fiuenced by the decline in futures.
There was quite panic in the future
market, especially in the September
option. After the opening July sold
up to 1860, then down to 1890: Au-
gust, 134Sc to 12.S5c: September, 1179c
to 1886: October, 1O.24c to 9S6c; De-
cember, 9.S3c to $3.50, and January, 9.77c
to 9.56c. In the declines July lost GA
points, August 60, September 49, Octo-
Der SO, December g. and January %.
There was a partial recovery from the
lowest point, the list at the close show
ing net losses of So points on July, Au-
gust 81, September 81, October 26, No
vember 49, December and January each

bles were decidedly favorable, letting
off wide advances in both spots and
futures. The weather map was decid-
eddy favorable. however, and it was
claimed that this started some short
selling in New York and also caused
some weak longs to get scared Fol-
lowing upon this was an advance of
selling orders.

New York, July Our market
opened with sales of August at 12.52c,
and after selling at 12.55c, 11.61c ruled
at 1850, at l D. m. From the opening
to the close our market has been
scene of intense excitement under the
heavy liquidation in September.
Whatever declines the other positions
have recorded they are only due to
this heavy selling, which naturally
caught stop orders in every direction.
As this selling came largely from
commission house identified with New
Orleans, many rumors were current
that the bull pool was liquidating,
which we understand is denied Ger
tainly to-day's liquidation created
that impression and led to sharp SELL
ing by outside holders, who are dis
couraged by the absence of any sup
port. Liverpool was unexpectedly
good until the selling here brought
about the weakness abroad through
arbitrage selling. Distant deliveries
did not decline so sharply, as they are
much oversold as September was over
bought The spot market was quiet,

slightly regaining about to II points
Of its early loss, but showed every
indication of extreme nervousness and
uncertainty. In some quarters it was
believed that the heavy New Orleans
selling noted during the decline was a
forerunner of the end and that the
clique had become alarmed over the
improvement in the crop outlook We're
actually attempting to get out, not
Withstanding their heavy holdings of
spot cotton On the other hand there
were those who were disposed to be-
lleve that the break had been brought
about for the purpose of attracting a
new short interest with the expectation
that show of renewed firmness on the
part of the clique would again send
values kiting and force these shorts to
cover. In the last hour, however, the
market again became very weak I'M
der further New Orleans selling and
this time Wall street houses were
heavy sellers of August and September
apparently rejecting their confidence in
the retreat of the bull pool. Under
this combined pressure prices were
soon down to a new low level for the
session, August selling at 11.6tc, Sep
TENDER at 10.69c, and December at
9.70c.

December were rallied a point or two,

New York, July 6.-Cables were

was quite unsettled at the close on

larger aggregate of transactions than
that of last Friday. The few MEM
bers present on the floor were almost
idle and the small trading among
themselves was listless and inconse-
uuential There was an aimless drift
of prices downwards, then upwards
and finally yielding, making the clos
ing tone easy, but the average level
was at no time far away from last
weeks closing Part of the dullness
was attributable to a diversion of spec
ulative interest into the cotton market.
Wall street was reported to have made
important operations in that market
during the day, putting out short lines,
and. it was supposed, contributing TO
the sharp break in that market.
The regular reports of railroad earn
ings made some hattering showings,
but the only stock to respond appre-
eiably was Norfolk and Western. That

June showed an increase over the same
period of last year of s25S, 204, or 60 per

has hardly recovered from the effects
