 Virginia Girl Is Missing.

Now York. Sept. 11.-Nirtually .hondoning the theory that fragments af young woman's body found near uobokeu are the remains of Ella ctornemann, whose eccentric father ',.os located in a Newark hotel, the New York police are centering their oforts on an attempt to find a man ond voung woman who bought quan- ,;ties of white tar paper in two differ ent drug stores in the same locality in Harlem where the pillow case found wrapped around the torso was purchased.
 The police believe that the young woman was murdered in a private bouse in the vicinity of Eighth ave nue and 147th street.
 Inspector Faurot, in charge of the investigation. is searching the shore of Tottenville, l.. l., for woman s skull which was seen in that vicinity hv John Reid. a 13-year-old boy. The hoy was rowing near the shore when he saw a strand of dark hair in the water He pulled it out until he brought to the surface a womans scalp The hair was about a foot long. The boy became frightened and dropped his find.
 Inspector Fauret also is investigat- ing the disappearance of Ida L.. Bowes, whose father, w. E. Bowles, has telegraphed from Charleston, w. Va, that he believed the victim of the murder to be his daughter.
 Bowles is said to have received a special delivery letter from his daughter, mailed on Aug. 2S, from Times Square station. This letter con- tained $500 and read:
 q am living a life of hell and do not want to live. By the time you receive this letter l will be dead"
 Miss Bowles formerly was a tele- phone operator in Cleveland, and mar ueo John Davis, according to the in formation given the police. The cou- pie separated and later the young woman took the name of Ida Bishop
 The police do not seriously regard Peter H. Sternemann, the cratic ped der of mllinary feathers, as having any importance in the case. Tele- phone messages have been received

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STEEL SHOWS WEAKNESS. Drop of Two Points in Stock Unsetties
 the Whole List.

New York. Jan 23-Weakness /of steel was the conspicuous feature of 1 today's stock market. Pressure was l directed steadily against this stock and it's loss of more than two points was perhaps the principal factor in the unsettlement of the whole list. The strength exhibited on the two days vanished and material iproa ds were made on the recently established gains The selling converged on Steel Reading and the Hartman stocks and standard investment issues and spe- cialties sold down with the speculative leaders A spirited rally late today lifted prices considerably above the low point
 The sharp upturn just before the close yesterday, following announce ment of Turkeys acceptance of the peace proposals, aroused hopes of bull traders that the upward movement would receive further impetus today but the course of the market indiea ted that the announcement had been dis counted, Wall street has c1ung per sfstently to the view that hostilities would not be renewed and in the ab- Sence of a sharp response in the Lon don market. where Americans rose only slightly before the opening here, trad CTS were not inclined to take the in itfaffve fin bidding up prices on this score.
 Resignation of the Turkish cabinet in consequence of it's action, made known late late in the session, was a further unsettIing influence
 Pressure against Steel was assocf- ated with the revelations made in the governments dissolution suit, partic- ularly the admission of a former pres 1dent concerning an international rail pool. Hartman shares were de- pressed by intimations of serious ob- StacleS in the way of carrying out the dissolution decree, The weakness of the general market seemed to rad fate from these issues, the technical position of the market having been weakened by extensive short cover ing on the previous two days.
 Offerings of $15,866, ,086 convertible four and half per cent. St. Paul bonds caused a break in both the stock and bonds. The stock broke 1 3-4 and the outstanding four and a halfs tive points.
 Bonds were irregular with a lever trend. Distiliers lives made up the recent loss. Total sales, par value, S2,7S5, ,06e.
