Special Cablegram to The Star.
MADRID. September 27.-Dispatches from
Malaga state that the rains which caused
the disastrous floods in that city and neigh
boring towns continue. At last evening
the river Gualalhorce had risen another
meter. Should 1t rise only one-half meter
more there will be a terrible catastrophe
The flooded quarters of the city are in an
awful condition They in total dark
ness, and agonized cries for help are heard
from the windows on ell sides.
The governor telegraphs that at Lacierva
seventy-two persons have been drowned,
and sixty-eght have been injured. The
vines in the surrounding country he says,
are buried in mud.
Worst in Years
Unprecedented rains In Andalusia have
caused immense destruction of life and
property. The Guadalmedina river has been
converted into a raging torrent three miles
wide, and bridges. houses and even entire
villages have been swept away by the food.
The streets in the lower part of Malaga,
capital of the province OF that name In
Andalusia. have been inundated, and many
families have been rendered homeless.
Considering the heaviness of the floods,
the loss of life has not been great. Thirty
persons were drowned at Malaga, twenty
three at VeleZ de Benamargoza among
them the mayor of the town; thirteen at
Coleman. and about one hundred elsewhere
in the valley.
Railroad communication has been de-
stroyed. The governor of Malaga has APP
pealed for assistance from the government,
fearing that the decaying carcasses of cat
tie and other animals drowned in the flood
will create an epidemic
Fresh foundations Today.
MALAGA, Spain. September IA re-
newal Of the rain today is causing fresh in
undations, and a suspension of the rescue
work. Several wharves here have been
swept away. The picturesque valleys of
few days ago are now covered with water
and desolation reigns on all sides. This
city Is almost isolated and is without gas
or electricity. Gen. Del Rio has arrived
here on behalf Of King Alfonso to assist the
homeless. A bread famine is feared unless
supplies of -four are soon received. The
bodies of about one hundred drowned per-
sons have been recovered here and in the
immediate vicinity of Malaga.
Destructive Flood at Grenada.
GRENADA, Spain. September 27.-The
lower quarters of this city are flooded. The
water is five feet deep In the streets, and
there has been much destruction Of prop
erty in the surrounding country, principally
at Lola. Many houses have been wrecked,
a large amount of stock has been drowned,
the fields are ruined and communicate ns

On the other hand. there does not seem
to be anything in the immediate outlook to
warrant the expectation of an upward
movement of any considerable extent In

day to day. Should the bear party be sue
cessful in bringing about a further down.
ward movement Of a point or so today, the
best opinion is that the market will then be
due for moderate rally on technical con-
ditions. Up to this time the Industrial
shares have been subjected to the greatest
pressure, but the drop in prices In these on
the recent drives has not been sufficient to
seriously disturb sentiment, and 1t Is now
understood that an attempt will be made in
a more aggressive form against the railroad
issues with the hope of upsetting the mar
ket's equilibrium. It Is seriously doubted,
however. If that will be successful.
-
AS the time approaches for the deliver
ance Of the various addresses scheduled
to be made by President Roosevelt the sub
ject matter of these will naturally become
tho object Of much speculation, and
although 1t is generally conceded that he
cannot say anything for which the finan-
cial community is not already prepared. a
degree Of hesitancy toward fresh commit
ments on the long side Of the stock mar
ket Is expected to result therefrom. The
November disbursements taken in connec-
ton with the outflow of currency to the
interior, which is now gaining heavy pro-
portions. brings the time money market
into more prominence speculative fac
tor. Attention is again directed to the re-
newed fall in exchange to a level not far
above the goiu importing point, and It Is
contended by bankers that losses OF cur
rency by the local banks, should such reach
large amounts will be offset by an influx
of gold from Europe in the not distant fu-
ture. Confidence in ehis theory Is strength
ened by the recent large engagements Of
grain and cotton for export.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
NEW YORK, September 27.-Although 1t
was generally conceded that yesterdays
attack on prices by the bear party provoked
little or no liquidation, the temporary suc-
cess which followed the selling in certain Is
sues was expected to encourage a renewal
OF similar tactics in the market today. The
declines recorded, however. do not seem at
all disturbing to those committed to the
long side In the absence Of buying power
on any considerable scale it is believed
that the professional element will be able for
time to make some Roadway in its cam
paign for lower quotations. That the gen.
eral situation, however, warrants any pro-
nounced further depression from this level
Is not admitted by the more conservative
banking element. audit should be added
that the latter class does not believe such
will occur.

AN OLD EDITOR
Found $4,000 Worth of Food.

The editor of paper out in Okla,
said: "Yes, it is true when l got hold
of Grape-Nuts food, it was worth
more than a $4,000 doctor bill to me,
for it made me a well man. l have
gained rs pounds in weight, my
strength has returned tenfold, my
brain power has been given back to
me, and that is an absolute essential,
for I am an editor and have been for
35 years.
"My pen shall always be ready to
speak a good word for this powerful
nutritive food. / had of course often
read the advertisements regarding
Grape-Nuts, but never thought to ap-
ply the food to my own use, UNTIL in
my extremity and sickness the thought
came to me that it might fit my case.
The statements in regard to the food
are absolutely correct, as have proven
in my own case. One very fortunate
thing about the food is that while it Is
the most scientifically made and high
ly nourishing, concentrated food have
ever known, it has so delicious taste
that it wins and holds friends"
