NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York, Sept. Sin a quiet
market and in sympathy with a de-
cline of $50 reis in the Rio spot mar :
ket, prices on the call in the coffee
market here this morning we're Q to
IA points below the close on Saturday.
The market has developed into a
waiting affair. Bulls hesitate to be-
come aggressive buyers. owing to con-
tinued weakness in spot at Rio, coupled
with a poor demand for actual coffee
here. '.
Bears are not disposed to sell freely
after the recent sharp declines which
carried prices Z cents below the high
point of last June and because of the
fact that the Brasilian crop is now
passing through a critical period, and
any sign of frost might cause an up
turn.
Right after the call, few buying
orders sent December to II. .15c, March
to IL .06c, and May to 7cents, or to
IL points above initial figures.

MARFA, Texas, Aug. 1s.-Lt II. G.
Peterson and Paul II. Davis, u S.
army, aviators held captive for more
than week by Mexican bandlts who
demanded ransome of $4,000, were
rescued early today by Captain Mag
lack, Of the Eighth Cavalry, and are
safe in American territory.
Captain Maglack brought back with
him one-half the money. He said aft
er Peterson had been released Davis
was brought forward by the bandits
and the two mounted Captain Mag
lacks horse. The bandits demanded
the remainder of the ransom money
and Captain Maglack answered by rid
ing rapidly away with the two airmen.
Captain Maglack said the two avia-
tors landed in Mexico. He said the
aviators thought they had landed N
the United States and this impression
was not corrected until after they had
reached the border today.
The aviators, the captain said, had
become confused while in the air and
had mistaken their course. Instead OF
landing near Candelaria, as they
thought, they had landed at a point
near Salomir, Chihuahua, more than
forty miles up the Conchos river.
where they abandoned their wrecked
airplane after stripping 1t OF Vital
parts which might make it OF use to
the Mex.cans.
Thinking they were ON the Rio
Grande they started down stream In
an effort to locate Candelerfa and re-
port their accident to Headquarters and
were picked up Wednesday, morning
by Jesus Renderia and the band OF
five Mexicans. They were taken into
the mountain. They continued ON their
forced journey until Friday night
when the bandits compelled the avia-
tors to write messages demanding ran
som and telling of the death threats.
The messages were sent to the border
by messengers Sunday.

been opened to hotels, restaurants and

ed.
