EMPRESS EUGENE
 JEWELRY FRAUDS

Paris, September -(Special.) )--The Empress Eugenie. widow of Napoleon III. was popularly reported to have taken jewels worth s1.S30,0O0 with her when she fled from the Tuileries on Sep tember 14, 1870. These jewels. the popular fairy tale added, she entrusted to a spe- cial envoy, Manuel Periz. who disappeared with them. The rumor of 40 years ago is being used as a means to fraud even to- day.
 Last week photograph of an inventory of jewels, with documents describing their hiding place. reached the Matin of fees from Madrid. Everything was ar. ranged in orderly and convenient fash. ion. The inventory described the jewels In detail and the documents related how the envoy, hard pressed by pursuers hid the treasure in certain spot
 These documents were submitted to the Empress Engenies secretary at Earns borough M. Franceschini Pietri Nearly 40 years ago. he said documents like this began to reach me- They originated In France, England, Germany, Italy and other countries, particularly Spain. Many were dated from prison In Madrid and were addressed to people who were of fered half share of the treasure if they would advance money to effect its re- covery. Recently such attempts at fraud have been few and far between, but l still hear of them occasionally"
 Other inquiries show that that venera- ble fraud, the Spanish prisoner,' has constantly used the imperial treasure' as the means of obtaining money from his innocent dupes.

MHEAT GOES LOWER
 UNDER BEAR ATTACK
Losses Are Not Heavy Because
 Bears Lack Nerve
FOREIGN CROPS GOOD
Corn Weakens on Promise of Good Crop Weather and the Close Is Lower-Oats and Provisions
 Are Also Weak
BY JOSEPH F. PRIrcHARD

Chicago, September 24-(Special.) )-The bears in wheat lack nerve. This fact was fully demonstrated today when the mar ket was in a position to be sold to a much lower level with a strong bear at tack. As it was, there was no reeupera- tive power shown and prices closed with losses of 1sQ7sc for the day. There was no encouragement to the bulls from the markets of the old world. while the news from that side was mainly beaHsh in character. Not pound of wheat was sold on this side of the water for export, bids being generally out of ltne with real values. Australia and India were of fering wheat more freely at Liverpool and on the continent, and zaey were ask ing lower prices for their grain.
 Crop conditions in the Argentine Re public have improved during the past fortnight, and it is now expected that the republic wifi have one of the largest crops ever raised with favorable weather. The trade Is looking for a bearish set of statistics Monday.
 Besides the bearish statistical position of wheat, there Is no outside trade to speak of and the professionals are in the market from day to day only in a scalp ing manner. At the moment trade is the smallest noted in months, even surpass- ing midsummer for dullness. The bulls are waiting for an export demand to de- velop, and they are also looking for smaller receipts at primary and other markets They expect better demand for cash wheat on milling account, end the bullish feeling which they are look ing for is to come from the southwest.
 The bears believe that with increasing stocks in all positions and @ visible sup ply. much larger than year ago, cou- pied with heavy stocks on ocean passage are fully equal for the time being to any thing that may develop of bullish character.
 While there were additional rains over considerable portions of the corn belt rising temperatures were promised by the weather bureau, which means Inc frosts' for the present. On this there was heavy selling in the way of liquida- tion, as well as the selling out of short lines by some of the houses which stand close to the interior The buying was scattered and was mainly by shorts hay ing profits. It is believed that there is more being done In the export corn trade than Is generally reported.
 May oats closed at the low point of the day, which was 37ssc. and nearly 1sc under the resting spot of Friday. The early months showed less decline.
 Generally speaking, sentiment on pro- visions favor the bear side of the mar ket The larger packers at Chicago are holders of the stock of meats here, and they will endeavor to dispose of as much of their hogs next month as possible The smaller packers as well as the out siders feel that we are to have larger run of hogs in the near future and unless there Is big picking up in the demand for cash meats, the entire list is likely tt sell downward

SMALL ADVANCE
 IN COTTON PRICES Downward Turn Is Followed By General Recovery BUSINESS IS VERY QUIET Private Cables Report That There Is No Longer Danger of a Lockout
 in Lancashire, Which
 Causes Recovery
BUSINESS IS VERY QUIET

New York, September 24.-There was further reaction in the cotton mar ket during today's short session as a result of realizing for over the week end and little selling by spot peo- pie, accompanied by unconfirmed ru- mors of rather easier offerings from sections i'll the southwest. The close was steady at a net advance of Is points on September and of to points on later months.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of to Il points owing to later cables than expected and reports that operators were selling in Liverpool. These reports tended to confirm the rumors of easier spot offerings to local people and there was some selling here during the early trading by spot houses. But the offerings were not heavy and prices soon rallied from the opening figures on covering by recent sellers and little support from the bull leaders. Business was very quiet later and last prices were 2 to points off from the top.
 Private cables reported that there was no longer much danger of lock out In Lancashire as the working men had agreed to arbitrate their differ ences and that tho British board of trade was expected to decide the ques- ton in dispute. There has at no time been any real apprehension of an actual lockout, however, but the report had some influence. Nor was there much at tention paid to the weekend figures while weather reports remained about the same as recently.
 Sentiment hero was rather mixed over the interior shipment situation but the futures were not active enough to suggest any real change In the situ- ation.
 The report of the census bureau giv- ing the supply and distribution Of cot ton for the past season will be is- sued on Monday.

NOVEL SCHEME TO
 DEFRAUD AUTOISTS

From the Baltimore American.
 Here is a brand-new original way to
 make living.
 bilists. Dig a deep, wide hole in the
 road. Fill the hole with water with clay. it filled. Mix the water with clay.
 Mud deep and treacherous will form. The unsuspecting automobilist will plunge his machine into the mud and there it will stick. Help will be forth coming, and the mire-imprisoned au- toist, in his gratitude at his release,
 will part with a $10 bill.
 The serious charge is made that such a hole is maintained near Contee, on the Baltimore Washington boulevard The hole in question Is said to be on the brow of a hill, where water Is not apt to accumulate voluntarily The presence of the mire pit is not suspected by automobile drivers un- quaintance after their machines are
 nearly submerged in mud. Then rus tics appear and proffer the assistance of their teams. The machines are ex- tricated. Sums ranging from $10 to $15 are handed out. The automobilists
 resume their journey, and the rustics await another victim. Complaints about the Hluu HOle nave Deen made 10 the state roads commission, which has re- piled that 1t has no Jurisdiction over that section of the road on which the pit exists. The commissioners have referred the complaining autoists to the Prince George county authorities.
 Gov. Brothers unexpectedly met one of the mud hole victims at the Hotel
 Rennert yesterday. While at dinner
 and while discussing good roads a stranger left an adjoining table and ap- preached the governor.
 'I have heard you talking about your good roads in Maryland" he said by
 way of introduction. 1T know where your good roads are not. I left Wash ington at o'clock one morning recently in my automombile for Baltimore with
 my wife and three children. My ma chine got stuck in 8 mud hole before we reached Laurel. I did not get it ont of that hole until 4 o'clock the next morning. I had to pay $15 for the use of a team. My wife and child ren had to be conveyed to Laurel and there take a train for Washington" It was after the recital of the strang- CTS experience that the charge that the mud hole was deliberately maintained near Contee was made.

THE HOBBLESKIRT
 IS BACK NUMBER

London, September 24.-(Special.) )-How long will the ladies go on tying ropes and ribbons round their ankles? Prophecies are conflicting. One, soothsayer foretells that the shackleskirt is dying out.
 A fashion that is dropped by the stage is dead, and you will see no more hobble- skirts on the stage. What the next fash ion will be we cannot disclose. We are meditating, and the outcome of our medi- tation will not be known before October But one thing is certain. the shacke- skirt is dead.
 Another prophet says exactly the con- trary. His alarming forecast Is that the ladies will tic, their ankles and knees round more tightly than ever. Skirts will be so narrow that in order to enable women to walk at all we are now de- vising a system of expanding folds" The improved shackled skirt, more shackled than ever will apparently be built some what on the lines of a concertina.

UNCERTAIN TONE
 IN STOCK MARKET
Prices Move in Almost the
 Same Sluggish Current
MONEY RATES PRIMER
Finances Are Tightening Up in Prepar- alton for the October Settlements. = Bankers Are Cheerful at
 the Outlook

New York, September 24.-The halting, uncertain tone of the speculation in the stocks was unaltered today in the ab- scnce of any conclusive developthent to point to the course of events which are awaited. Quite general evidence of the tightening of the money markets was feature, the influence being the prepara- tion for the October settlements.
 In Berlin especially these are"always heavy, and the rise in the private dis count rate to the level of the official rate of the Imperial Bank of Germany pres ages an early rise in that rate.
 The private rate in Paris also is harden ing, and demands upon the Bank of England caused discussion of a possible early advance in tn rate. Today B. 25O, 900 was withdrawn from the English bank for shipment to Egypt. Ninety bills of exchange to arrive in London over the end of the year show discount charges above the present bank. rate, re- Necsing the clear conviction that the of ficial rate will advance before the end of the year.
 The cotton bill dispute complicates the existing situation and is responsible also Tor some extra ueDlanuS ITOHl Ds1hhS III the south for rediscounting in New York. Bankers In New York profess confidence in the resources of the banks to finance the cotton movement. The opinion Is held that the standing of foreign bankers will rise in throwing the cotton export financ- ing into the hands of the largest banks and take the business out of the hands of smaller exporters, rather than inter rupt the movement.
 Another reduction was reported in the surplus of idle freight cars as a result of the rapid movement of grain to mar kets The net surplus was thus brought down to the lowest total touched since March 30 of this year.
 There was some movement in stocks of minor railroad properties in reorganiza- tion. btu the general list was inert.
 The loan expansion shown by the bank statement was expected In view of the rediscounting- of southern banks, but the cash decrease was less than expected. The actual surplus Is thus left at N7,- 964 900.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales. par value, $1 .042. 800.
 United States 2s have declined is per cent in the bid price on call since last week.
