FINDS TREASURE IN TREE
And May Sue for His Share Because
 Owner Hid It There as a Joke

From the Philadelphia North American.
 William ]. Stewart climbed tree in
 Magazine lane the other day prodded
 around the hollow trunk with stove
 poker and found bag of hidden treas ure.
 Shouting with joy. he descended and
 spread before the astonished gaze of VII
 liam Shellem his employer. the contents of a bag There were five diamond rings.
 bracelet. breastpin and penny coined In 1s0S.
 You promised me one fourth of any treasure I found" he told his employer
 on whose place the treasure tree Is lo- cated. "1'1l take a couple of rings for my share"
 Shellem was unaccountably seized with a violent laughing spell. He laughed sc long and so loud that neighbors were at
 tracted. They laughed, too, when they
 saw the treasure. But Stewart couldn't see the joke. Then Shellem explained. T planted that bag up there he | said "a couple of hours ago. You can tell that to the judge" said Stewart. T want my share and I'm go- ing to get it
 | He went to lawyers office, deposited
 retainer and told his story. Unless he sees the joke in tho next few days suit will be entered for one-fourth of the treasure.
 Shellem explained that Stewart had read a great deal about the early set tiers hiding their valuables in trees. The house Shelem occupies was built before the revolution and is surrounded by a grove of old trees. Stewart often ex- pressed the belief that treasure might be concealed in them. So his employer
 decided to play a joke on him Giving him permission to search all the trees, he agreed to allow him share
 of tho treasure if he found any. Shellem put the rings and other trinl<ets In a bag. climbed a tree and dropped the bag in the first opening he saw.

COTTON RALLIES
 AT NEW YORK Close Is Steady At Net Advance of 1 to 2
 Points

New York, February s5.-After 6 com parative early slight decline cotton ral- lied and closed steady at net advance of to points.
 Reports that war risk rates had been temporarily suspended pending the ad- justment of new and higher schedule seemed to be largely responsible for some scattered selling during the early trad ing. Liverpool did not fully meet yes terday's advance here. and after opening unchanged to I points lower. the local market sold about to points under last nights closing figures.
 Local traders appeared to find little to indicate that the expected advance in war risks would cause any material check In the export movement how ever, and the market soon steadied on a renewal of Liverpool buying. presum- ably to undo straddles. The demand from this source slackened off after the close abroad, but offerings remained l.ght and the market became rather more active again during the afternoon on a renew al of Wall street local and trade buy ing.
 <NttlNt lllontuS sou tO polhtS Het higher on this bulge or 26 points above the low level. of yesterday on October contracts. Realizing caused reactions of to 3 points in the later trading.
 There were rumors that little cot ton owned by exporters in the southwest was being offered for resale. but there was little or no southern selling or hedg- ing against actual cotton reported around the local ring and the supply of con tracts appeared to be comparatively scarce after the recent more or less gen eral liquidation. Private advices from various points in the belt reported a less active spot demand. but quite gen erally claimed that holders were not pressing their cotton for sale.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, February 25.--(Special.) Liverpool did not fully respond to our improvement yesterday. but there was a steadier undertone throughout the day, closing to points higher. The action of the government in practically closing the war insurance bureau on cotton to North sea ports was advanced as against the export of cotton. On the other hand 1T the foreign governments find the Uni ted States will not insure why they will find some method or means by which the danger may be avoided. In other words. they may be compelled to take the risks of importing their cotton and foodstuffs, which we refuse to do any longer.
 The trade does not appear to be so bearish tonight, but they think it quite possible that the fortunes of war may cause another decline at any moment.

SHOWS STRENGTH
 AFTER A DECLINE
Cotton Market At New Or leans Steadied By Re-
 ports From Europe

New Orleans, February 25.--After de- cline of to 8 points in the early trading today the cotton market showed decided strength in the afternoon on reports of European buying.
 At the best of the day the trading rionths were to Il points over yester- days last quotations. The close was at a net gain of to g points. Scalping longs were profit takers in the last half hour Of business which pared down the ad- vance somewhat.
 Poor cables stimulated selling around the first call, but the desire of shorts for profits checked the downward move ment. Organized bull support was lack ing, owing to the disposition of leading bull interests not to attempt to bring about higher prices until after the new crop is in the ground. Later brokers be- gan to get buying orders. when were generally considered to come from spin ners and spot merchant buyers abroad. They gave the market firm undertone

'RUMORS CAUSE
 WHEAT ID TREMBLE
European Situation Again Affects Market. Close
 Is Unsettled

Chicago. February 2a.-Embargo rumors and the prospect of the Russian surplus finding an outlet through the Dardanelles made wheat tumble in price today after an early advance. The market closed un- settled, 3isc 10 sis43iae under last night. Other leading staples, too. all finished at net decline. corn down 17sd2c to 21sG 2Ac; cats. 5sd1c to 1c. and provisions 1ou 12c to 65e.
 Corn took the same path as wheat. As sertions that exporters at Baltimore were reselling corn to the west led to heavy unloading here
 Oats were upheld by notice of European purchases tha. were estimated at 1000, 900 bushels. In the end, however, oats gave way in sympathy with corn and wheat.
 Weakness of grains appeared to strip tho provision market of nearly all sup port.
