the game with the university last Sat
urday. But for a few inexcusable
fumbles by Wake Forest, the score
would have been smaller. The team
will present a slightly different APP
pearance from any previous game.

Two Points Below Satur-
days Final.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-Recessions
from Saturdays closing prices were
general among the active stocks when
trading was begun today. Both Lehigh
valley and American Telephone de-
chned a point.
II a. m.-The decline in the market
was arrested by the marking up of the
active coalers nearly to Saturdays
high prices. Reading brought 154ls
and Lehigh Valley 179&. United States
Steel and several of the Western rail-
roads rallied to above last weeks clos
ing figures. Consolidated Gas was I'M
usually active, and improved two
points.
Noon-Interest in stocks Jagged to-
day. The course of the market encour-
aged bear traders to renew their oper-
alton. Prices advanced again before
noon, but the chief gains were limited
10 a handful of stocks, such as the
coalers and the Hill group. Bonds were
irregular.
/ D. m.-Bull manipulation was sus-
pended for a while, and when profits
we're sought the whole list broke sharp
ly. Lehigh Valley r~elinquished all but
a small fraction of its forenoon ad-
vance, Reading dropped back to a half
point under Saturdays close. U. s
Steel a point and Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific ia.
2 p. m~.-Speculation became very
quiet on a fractional rally from the
lowest. The recovery brought up most
of the list to a trifie above Saturdays
close. American Cotton Oil moved up
IA to as, which was higher h the
ruling figure at the time the dividend
was passed.
3 p. m.-The market closed weak.
Large selling orders were distributed
in the last hour and prices sagged
sharply to the lowest of the day.
Profit taking vas on a large scale
and there was some aggressive SELL
ing.
Union Pacific was depressed more
than two points under Saturdays final
figures, and losses of about half as
much were established in u. S. Steel,
the Copper stocks, st. Paul, Chesapeake
and Ohio. Atchison and Canadian

AGED WOMAN CHARGES
FRAUD IN $4,000 ESTATE.

TRENTON, Nov. 13.-Thomas e.
Raub, a former director of the Mercer
County Board of Freeholders, is
charged with fraud in a suit brought
in the Court of Chancery by Martha
Geddes, 80 years old, to acquire title to
seven properties in this city. These
properties are worth about $4,000, but
the disposition of the entire estate,
worth about $40, 900, of Mary Marshall,
a sister of Miss Geddes, hinges on the
outcome.
BY a will made in 1904 Mrs. Marshall
left the entire estate to Miss Geddes.
Another will, made in 1906. left only
the life estate to her and upon her
death all of it was to go to Raub, who
was referred to as her trusted neigh
Dor and confidential advisor" For
seven years prior to her death in 1910
Mrs. Marshall vas a p%aralytic, deaf and
blind and belfast. Her sister came
from Philadelphia and nursed her those
seven years. The Court of Chancery
is asked to perfect Miss Goddess title
to the whole estate.
