Fortune in Jewels
Stolen from Body
of French Actress

PARIS, Dec. pam extraordinary sem
sation was caused in Paris today by the
announcement that the tomb of the celeb
brated Partisan actress Mime. Lucie Lam
telme, In the cemetery of Pere La Chaise,
was broken into last night and valuable
jewels wrenched from her body and car
ried off. The gems included a pearl neck-
lace, which alone was valued at $4,000.
One OF the robbers apparently was
wounded while forcing the metal casket,
for trail of blood was left near the
tomb and along the pathways leading to
the gates of the cemetery.
Upon investigation the report that
ghouls had stolen the Jewels in the
vault proved untrue. The examining
magistrate entered the tomb and found
the jewels enclosed in an envelope under
the head of Mime. Lanteline.
Mhe. Lucie Lantelme, who was of Door
parentase, achieved great success as a
comediehne and became known as the
most beautiful woman in Paris" She was
married to Alfred Charles Edwards. the
first proprietor and editor Of the Matin, a
millionaire. While she was yachting with
him on the Rhine near the Dutch frontier
on July "A of this year. she fell over
board and was drowned.

DUN'O REVIEW OF TRADE
Large Holiday Trade Indicates Cons

GENERAL BUSINESS EXPANDING
Expectation of Heavy Buying of
steel Rails by the Railroads Gives
strength To Iron and steel
Trade.

NEW YORK, Dec. PR. @. Dun and
company's Weekly Review Of Trade to-
morrow will say:
The holiday retail trade has been sat-
isfactory and in some Of the cities in
excess OF former years revealing note
consumers to sperrh Wholesale opera
tons are naturally held somewhat in
check by the holiday trade and by the
settlements incident to the closing OF the
year but there Is no indicated change in
the more. favorable situation in busi-
ness which has been progressively man
ifested during the last few months.
The bright outlook in iron and steel is
enhanced by prospective large purchases
ot rails, orders for fully 10000 tons be-
ing expected in the immediate future.
This tonnage will embrace contracts from
several prominent roads, while in addi-
tion, other equipments are being freely
taken. Considerable bridge work Is COM
ing out and the Pennsylvania car order

find II possible to establish a firmeF
price basis and the recent low quotations
IN structural material have disappeared,
although attractive business in still open
TO concessions. After a marked squirt
OF activity, pig iron is more, quiet. but
ucally the minimum on Bessemer al
though small lots have changed hands
below this figure.
While Immediate business is seasonably
quiet, the undertone of the cotton goods
market indicates slow but steady Inn
provement In the volume of distribution.
Drills for converting purposes are in
steady demand. and some heavy sheetings
are being ordered moderately, while light
sale sof print cloths and convertibles are
reported. Mills are generally adhering
to prices based upon 3-16 cents for 4S17
inch IS CAS-, but occasional concessions
are reported
Exports to miscellaneous ports continue
good, and small Red sea buying is being
done, while shipments to China last Week
aggregated 3,4O0 bales.

pentary orders, many manufacturers are

SOUVENIRS OF BATTLESHIP
MAINE IN GREAT DEMAND

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22-Sentimental-
lists and souvenir hunters. as we'll as
town governments and patriotic organi-
cations, have been pouring requests into
the Navy department recently for relcs
from the ill-fated battleship Maine. AS
the department has no authority for dis
posing OF any part OF the vessel. OF
course all requests to date have been
turned down.
No attempt has yet been made TO as
certain just what parts OF the wreck
might be available to be given away.
although It has been suggested that such
articles as the staff. gun mounts, guns,
whistles and even the bell would make
interesting adornments for the head
quarters OF patriotic organizations or the
naval museums, The department is
awaiting action OF congress before max
ing any plans for the disposition Of the

Volume of buying.


NEW YORK, Dec. 22-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will says
While the weather has. not been the
best for holiday shopping and country
trade especially has been retarded, holi-
day influences have been instrumentalin
Including large volume of buying at re-
tall, and early reports of volume of this
department of activity are generally as
favorable as last year in most sections
Least satisfactory advices come from
the south, owing to low prices of cotton,
and parts of the Pacific coast, where the
represslve influences which have trav-
erped the entire country, still linger
In the larger fields of basic endeavor
the events of the week have been mainly
favorable. Good effects of the late seri-
GUS decline In cotton goods are found
In an enlargement of demand for certain
varieties OF the latter, with some ad-
vances Of the prices of leading makes.
The iron and steel trade continues to
evince the cheerfulness hitherto noted
ana good trade has been done in steel
rails during the week. In general whole-
sale trade, the tendency has been td
quiet down, as the year draws to a close,
statesmen come in from the road and in
ventory time approaches. The boot and
shoe trade sends irregular reports as
eastern and western reports are examined.
The best reports come from the western
country, while the east notes that weather
conditions have not been favorable to
distribution. The leather trade is strong

changes effect calls for patent grades,
The lumber trade sends varying reports

SHEEP-Trade In sheep and lambs was
limited to a supply OF only $500 head,
mostly corn-fed lambs and ewes. De-
spite this small estimate none of the
regular buyers took very much interest
in the market and movement seemed al
most as lifeess as II frequently Is on a
day when receipts prove excessive.
Steady prices were maintained. but the
task of keeping values at unchanged
levels was more or less difficult.
Good native lambs sold at $3.50 and
some fed westerns that were nothing TO
brag about landed at $50. Strictly
choice lambs are quotable up 10 the
