NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Sept. 13-With the CON
firmation Of the report that the Anal
gamated Copper company would Shut
down all their mines in Montana, the
bears took advantage Of this bit OF
news to es tablish d new low record in
Copper. 1t sold down from GO TO So
on free selling by the professional ele-
ment. Shelters also suffered another
sharp decline, selling off from 81 to
S6H. All Of the weakness was con-
fined to the earlier part Of the session.
In the late afternoon shorts finding
the market bare Of stock made de-
termIned effort to buy back stock sold
at lower values resulting in a sharp
rally throughout the list
1t is pointed out, that everything that
could possibly effect the Copper shares
is known to the public and therefore
it is more likely that these shares are
due for a substantial rally as the pub
lie generally are imbued with the idea
that the stock cannot advance.
The railroad shares also scored fair
gains at the final close. The over
sold condition of the market brought
about the sharp rally IN the whole
close. The close was strong for the
standard rails while the industrlals re-
covered the early losses.

OLD RECORD REMAINS
Lusitania Fails to Beat Rec
ord Of Deutchland-Ar-
rives at 8:43 A. NJ.

New York. Sept. 13.-The Lusitania
crossed Sandy Hook bar at 1908 a. m.
today, thereby failing by narrow mar
gin to beat the transatlantic record of
the Deutschland, but surprising the
record of the Lucania for the Queens
town-New York trip and beating the
Deutschland's average speed.
The Lusitania has, however, estab-
hshed new record for the time pas
sengers are actually on board ship.
At the hour when the Lusitania was
due to arrive at the Sandy Hook light
ship thick haze overhung the lower
bay, which prevented the marine OBJ
server at Sandy Hook from seeing
either the liner or the lightship The
Lusitania was not visible from the
Hook until she reached Sandy Hook
bar, which is i've miles inside the
Hghtshtp.
While the Lusitania has beaten the
Queenstown to New York record Of 5
days. hours and % minutes. held by
the Cunarder Lucania, the fact that she
failed to beat the record. held by the
Germans has proved a disappointment
to her owners and the British public
generally.

ECONOMY RUN IS ON
Cars in Interesting Contest
from Chicago to Valpo
Cross Hammond.

Twenty-four cars of all makes, kinds
and descriptions pulled and wheezed
and glided through Hammond early this
morning and returned this afternoon on
the Economy run of the Chicago Motor
Club and Trades association from Chi
cago to Valparaiso. A new route was
picked out through the city owing to
the work going Oh at the Holman
street bridge. The tour came from
South Chicago and from Holman street
they went to Calumet avenue by way
of Gostlin street.
The first car over the course con-
tanned the officials and was driven by
r. p. Rice. 1t came into Hammond
about 1880 O'Clock and the confetti was
spread by the occupants along the
course. Car No. I, and the first ma
chine in the contest to enter Hammond
was a Pierce driven By J. V Lawrence.
The other cars followed at intervals
of about minute and were soon speed
ing on their way along Hammonds
best auto path. Among the cars was
the Maxwell Sealed Bonnet" which at
tracted considerable attention along
the route, because of tie remarkable
record.

CHICAGO LETTER.

& Chicago, Sept. 13.-WHEAT-Has
shown remarkable perversity today in
view of the news Influences playing
upon the market. There has not been
an adequate volume of support as 10
cal pit traders have been very bearish.
Weather was somewhat milder this side
OF the Canadian line and there was con-
siderable cash contract wheat trans
ferred over night from private to pub
lie elevators. with these exceptions
there was little except bullish news
current. Late influence of strength
was large, cash sales here and south
west and the fact that clearances from
former cash sales are now being made
on a liberal scale
CORN-Has been weak today on fine
weather over the entire belt, higher
temperatures northwest indicating still
further delay in frost and because of
the weak wheat market and the liber-
al run OF receipts from the country.
There has been considerable selling by
cash interests. but this was over early
in the day. Since then the holding of
large local speculatOr has been com
ing out. Actual sales reported were
distributed among larger number of
houses than yesterday. Seaboard.
twenty loads.
OATS-Have been nervous with trade
very light and traders trying to catch
the changes sympathetic with those in
other grains. Cash oats have been as
irregular as the trade in futures. Best
oats sold at an advance OF one-half
cent over yesterday and poorer grades
ranged down to one cent lower.

CIRCUS A BIG SUCCESS
Whiting Has Taste Of Har
greave's Show-Large
Crowd Attends.


Whiting, Sept. 13.-The great Har-
greaves show, which was given in
Whiting last night, was a bowling
success. The circus was first class in
all respects and several thousand peo-
pie were out to welcome it, so the
large tent was crowed to it's utmost
capacity. limbo H." the largest living
elephant, weight 1850 pounds and
12h feet high, seemed to be the main
attraction, and Mile. Mabel Hall, the
only lady elephant trainer" in the
world, was also accorded a hearty well
come. Prof. p. Carrescia's arenic band
and thirty eminent Italian musicians,
was another feature. The other fea-
lures consisted of horse races, trapeze
performances. in which many daring
feats were performed, and also of
clowns, who held the amused attention
of the spectators. From the opening to
the closing of the performance there
was not dull moment
The side shows were also open and
were well patronized and the affair
was a circus. menagerie. museum and
hippodrome combined.

CHAMPION HOODOO TALE
Purdue Glass Finds Itself
Inextricably Mixed With
Number Is.
Especial to Lake County Times,


Lafayette, Ind, Sept. 13.-This be-
ing the thirteenth day of September,
and Friday at that. the champion hoo
doc story of the day comes from Per-
due university, and it certainly takes
the leather medal along those lines.
Out of the six hundred students, thir-
teen of the number found themselves
in hard luck fix. SO peculiar did the
circumstances strike the student bunch
that the unlucky gathering was COM
PEELED to stand the guying and tor
ment of their brother "freshies" and
they are now ready to cut the classes
and in fact some of them are ready to
cut it out entirely and return to the
parental roof.
A recitation in mathematics was call
ed on Friday, the 18th, by a professor
who has served in the faculty just
Is years. What was his surprise when
he gazed on the class he found that
there were just Is pupils. The class
was in section 13 of the freshman
body, the recitation was in room Is,
and it now looks as though there
would be 13 missing students.
The class Of 13 students who faced
this Jonah cannot get the thing out
of their minds and for the present
studies are out Of the question.
