NEW COUNTERFEIT
FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES

IT[UCnHL nE0thvt EUlt1
The Treasury Department calls at
tention to four new counterfeit Fed
eral Reserve Notes. described as fol-
lows:
$40 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE
On the Federal Reserve Bank of
Cleveland, Ohio; check letted "D";
plate number missing; d. F. Houston,
Secretary of the Treasury; John
Burke, Treasurer OF the United
States; portrait of Cleveland.
This counterfeit is a Photographic
production on two pieces of thin pa
per. between which silk threads have
been distributed. The colors of these
threads have run. giving the threads
the appearance of being too thick.
The number of the specimen at hand
is D133537S0A, and the coloring ap-
piled to this number is purple instead
Of blue. Green ink has been applied
to.the printed portion of the back of
the note, but the original black of
the photograph can be seen in many
places not covered by the green col
oring. The portrait of Cleveland has
a moth-eaten appearance, and the
seal is very indistinct.
S5 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE
On the Federal Reserve Bank of
Cleveland, Ohio; check letter IA;
plate No. 10S; d. F. Houston, Secre-
tary of the United States: portrait of
Lincoln.
This counterfeit is apparently
printed from a wood cut, or very
crudely zinc-etched plates, on a single
piece of ordinary bond paper contain
ing no silk threads nor imitation of
them. The portrait of Lincoln is so
unlike the genuine that 1t should i'm
mediately detect the counterfeit. The
lathe work in the border is composed
mainly of straight diagonal lines. The
number of the specimen at hand is
D17S95473A, and while the figures of
this number are somewhat out of
alignment they are well formed and
of good color. The back of the note
is very poor.
$50 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE
On the Federal Reserve Bank of
Cleveland, Ohio; check letter 3D.;
plate number indistinct; d. F. Hous-
ton. Secretary Of the Treasury; John
Burke, Treasurer of the United
States; portrait of Cleveland.
This is a very poor Photographic
production. The face of the bill is
brown instead of black, the seal be-
ing almost solid celor. The num-
Der K77155737A is printed in panel
of brown ink. The back of the note
is blue instead of green. and the
printing Is indfstinct. Altogether the
note should not deceive any one ac-
customed to handling money.
$40 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE
On the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco; check letter "B";
plate No. "a; Carter Glass. Secretary
of the Treasury; John Burke. Treas
urer of the United States; portrait of
Jackson.
This counterfeit is avery crudely
executed zinc-etching, on a single
sheet of poor quality paper contain
ing no silk threads or imitation Of
them. The number of the specimen
at hand is LS9S473SA.
The work on this counterfeit is so
poor that more detailed description

Wave of Selling
Depresses Cotton
Is to % Points
Wall Street and Western OPP
orators Liquidate; British
Labor Troubles a Factor;
Market Steady at Close

Disappointment over the failure of
the reparations agreement materially
to stimulate demand was considered
largely responsible for ths decline in
cotton yesterday. The heaviest selling
WAS supposed to come from two or
three prominent Wall Street and West
ern operators who were credited with
having purchased contracts q week or
ten days ago, and the liquidation for
one of these accounts was estimated at
fully $4,000 bales.
Doubtless the decision 70 sell out was
promoted by the unsettled feeling in Wall
Street and the increasing seriousness Of
the Brttleh labor troubles Otherwise, the
days news was coneidered generally en-
couraging, with O. broadening business re-
ported In the domestic goods market and
continued unfavorable weather in tho
South. These latter influences were shown
In the absorption OF the heavy early offer
lnEs on declines OF about 20 to 40 points
from Wednesdays closing figures, but buy
ers showed little disposition 70 follow up
rallies, and later fluctuations were irregu
lar. The early break carried July con-
tracts ~ to 1900, making decline of 40
points from the high price. OF the previous
