MANY LIVES ARE LOST
 WHEN STEAMER SUNK
No Clue Yet to Fate of VaIbanera'S Passengers. Many Boats are
 Seeking Survivors.

Key West, Fla, Sept. 20.-With a wrecMng crew and divers examining the Sunken hull, and with scores of boats searching surrounding waters vivors, the fate of the 450 passengers and members of the crew of the Span ish steamer Valbanera, which found- cred during the hurricane last week, is expected to be cleared up soon. The naval station here has offered all fla cilities and with two Cuban gunboats will aid other craft in the search
 The Valbanera, bound from Spanish ports to Havana, was last heard from on the night of September & when she appeared off the entrance to Havana harbor. Yesterday a steamer bearing be much smaller than the missing yes sel, was found sunk off Rebecca shoals l light, 40 miles from Wey West The wreck was located by the coast guard cutter Tuscarosa and the sub marine chaser 203 and was resting on a bed of quicksand in about 40 feet of water Divers sent to examine the hull by the Cuban consul here report 1 ed that the wreck pore the name "Valbanera', but said the vessel ap- peared only half as large as the miss ing liner
 Ensign B. Roberts, commander of the submarine chasers, also said he had seen the name plate Valbarera on the wreck and his statement confirm ed belief that the sunken vessel was | the one sought. There were no bodies in the vicinity of the wreck and nothing to indicate what had become of the 300 passengers and 150 mem bers of the crew.
 :, Further examination today of the wreck is eXected to show whether those on board got away in smal boats. None has been picked up, but search of the surrounding waters anC adjacent islands is being continued in the hope that some survivors might have reached land or that bodies vii be found Most Of cnese on the ill fated steamer were Spaniards or Gu bans.
 Reports that during the last severa days faint wireless calls supposed tt be from the ValbaneTa had been pick ed up continued today to be mys tery. The calls were said to have been picked up here and at Havana but were so weak as to prevent an. effort toward locating their source.

9xse2H &&5zssszaK&ss1 '~'- " WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 TIE COTTON MARKET
Net Gains During Past Week Are About Ten Dollars a
 Bale.

New Orleans, Sept. 21.-Except for a short period on tie opening session of the week, the cotton market last week stood at an advance above the close of the preceding week, and at one time the net gains were about $10 bale. Closing prices showed net gains of 12S to 139 points, The higher prices were due to widespread reports of a better demand for spot cotton to the tendency of slight recoveries in the market for foreign exchange and to reports of crop deterioation from most sections of the belt
 The threatened steel strike was a constant check upon buying and serv- ed to hold the market within reason able bounds At times it was re sponsible for fairly wide reactions from the advance and toward the end of the week was the most conspicious feature in the situation.
 This week the opening of the mar ket, and possibly the course of prices the frstcouple of sessions, probably will be governed largely by what de velops in the steel industry. Thurs day will end the final condition period of the season and also the second gin ming period.
 From the middle of the week on, private bureau reports and forecasts on condition and ginning are bound to attract a great deal of attention. Spot developments and changes in foreign exchange rates also will be watched closely.
