Continued from Page one)

The work of the police here today brought to light the fact that on the evening of May 31, a young man familiarly known about the Italian re- sorts raided by the police Saturday night last, is the supposed count. He travels hereabouts under the name of James Cicerone.
 On the evening of May 31 he and the girl who corresponds in every way to the description of the lost Philadelphia girl arrived at a fur nished room house at 102 South ave- nue, and he secured @ room for a week, paying for it in advance.
 He left the girl in the house, say ing nothing to the others in the place as to his business or his plans, and she was really prisoner there all week. She didn't even leave for her meals, for he brought them in from neighboring restaurants.
 He said nothing of his intention to leave the city until early Tuesday morning he received a telegram, and promptly made preparations to flee; The police are now trying to find where he went from this city, and the Philadelphia detectives left to run down clues that led to other cities nearby.
 The local police believe the girl has been misled to believe that her ab- ductor is really an Italian count. It was learned that. she told another boarder in the furnished room house that she had run away from home to wed the man. Knowing his habits. the local police believe that if there was a ceremony it was mock mar- riage arranged by Cicerone to deceive the girl.
 Elizabeth is described by the Phil adelphia police as appearing about IS, wearing a tan colored suit, and when she left Bridgeport she wore no hat She wore an elaborate head dress with a number of artificial curls. She is of medium stature, with brown hair and eyes.
 Cicerone is swarthy, of medium size, and he wears f1ashy clothes.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

\ CHICAGO, July 23.-SignS that wheat
would be pouring into Chicago next week
made any idea of hosting prices today
look absurd. Then, too, there were rains
in the Canadian northwest, helping the
crop situation In consequence, the mar
ket. except for a little display OF firm
ness in the last few minutes, was weak
all day, and closed with net loss Of IL
to ssa1z cent. Corn, which received only
secondary attention, finished at Il to y
above last nights level. Oats at the
wind-up showed a decline of Aa1s to 70
cent and provisions ~ to 17la cents. :.
Primary receipts of wheat for the week
were run up to 1881 600 bushels. against
2.s60CO0 bushels the preceding seven
days. Acceptances of bids to the cOun-
try today were the second largest on the
crop. Illinois and Indiana were the chief
sources of supply for wheat bought to
arrive Much of il was for immediate
shipment to this city. Although hedging
sales were considerable. the deferred
options at no time exhibited as much
strength relatively as the near months.
but this fact was largely due to lessened
trading in the far deliveries. Not much
heed was given to bullish news about
European crops, foreign exchanges
seemed to be ignoring the weakness OF
prices this side of the Atlantic.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. July 23-The cotton mar
ket was very nervous and irregular today,
with the old crop months off under a lit
tie scattering liquidation, while the new
crop ruled firm and higher on bull support
and covering. The close was easy on near
and firm on distant positions, the former
being to IA points net lower and the
latter 6a13 points net higher. The mar
ket opened steady at unchanged prices to
an advance of Z points in response to
higher cables, reports Of a better demand
for cotton goods and the continued bull

withstanding the improvement recently
noted in the weather in the eastern belt.
The bull leaders gave the new crop

but there was such good buying of the
new crops on scale down that after
selling back to within 2a3 points of last
nights finals they quickly rallied. Some
excitement was caused in the late trading
by rumors that steamer from New
Orleans with 5000 bales Of cotton for
months rallied from the lowest, although
the rumOrs were denied. The new crop
continued very firm in the late trading,
owing to the indications for dry weather
in Texas over the week end with Oc-
tober contracts selling at 1921 and De-
cember at 1906, or at a new high level
for the week. The close was only little

The Financier will say:
The New York clearing house banks
continue to accumulate cash, their pres
ent surplus reserve being by far the
highest of the past year. The statement
of the banks as made July % showed,
taking the actual condition report as a
basis. an increase of $16.O11, 400 in specie
and legals. treaceable to the heavy move
ment from the interior and to favorable
operations with the subtreasury. Loans
showed slight decrease of. 1867 400,
while deposits, as the result of the cash
movement, increased $13,92S, 800 The re-
suit was an expansion of $12,51927J in
reserve. bringing the present surplus to
s46,O19,60O. The statement of averages,
rejecting operations of the previous week,
indicated a loan decrease of $6,O13,9OO,
but the reserve rose over $13 600, 600. The
summary of outside state banks and trust
companies showed decrease of 1884,
200 in loans, contraction of about $780,
600 in cash and a decrease of nearly ten
millions in deposits. With their reserve
so far above the normal of the past year
the banks of New York are in excellent
condition to meet forthcoming fall de-
mands upon them, and fears of monetary
stringency may be dismissed for the
time being. The period is at hand how
ever, when cash will begin to flow out Of
New York, but the effect of this move
ment will be counterbalanced in part, at
least, by impending gold imports. The
returns of all the national banks of the
United States, as compiled at Washing
ton, show more favorable condition
than had been hoped for.
