Having secured Il schooner there they returned to Peru. recovered the treasure and sailed to the westward intending to make Australia their des- tination. The fact that they possess cd no papers presented an insur- mountable obstacle to their gaining entrance to any port without rigid in vestigation. So they determined to bury the treasure on an uninha bited island in the Paumotus until such time as they could charter in Sidney n schooner for some alleged trading enterprise and, sailing with proper pa pers. return to tho island.
 When afterwards in pursuance of this plan, they reached the coast of Australia they sought an unfrequent- cd part of the coast. scuttled their schooner and coming ashore in the guise of shipwrecked sailors, endeav- ored to make their way to Sidney overland. Two only by name, Kill rain and Brown. arrived in Sidney; tho other two having been killed in fight with bush natives. Such is the story of the burial of the treasure.
 The tale of the attempts for it's re- covery begins in 1912 or 1913 when one day on the streets of Sidney q man by the name of Thompson was accosted by an elderly beggar seek ing aims. On giving the man small sum. Thompson was surprised by the request for his name and address. which he carelessly gave and thought no more about if.
 Some time later he was summoned 10 one of the hospitals of the city. There he discovered that the one who had asked for him was the beggar whom hc had befriended some time before. The old man told him that he had sent for him to disclose to him the resting place of a great treasure which he and three others had buried on Il lonely island many years before: | hat they had fallen on evil days and were never able to return to the is

 New Orleans, La, September 2S.- It was session of quick and mod erately narrow price changes in cot ton today, with fluctuations both above and below the level of yester- days close. Last prices were at net losses Of II to 26 points, At the best of the day the active months were II to 29 points higher than the close of yesterday and at the lowest they were 16 to 26 points under De- cember traded as high as 2115c, as low as 20.70c and closed at 2O.75e a pound.

FURTHER ADVANCE
 |NCOTTONM MARKET
 HELD PART OF DAY
General Staple Market Closed Barely Steady, Net Six Points Higher to TWen-
 ty-five Points Lower
By Associated Press

New York, September 29.-There was a further advance in the cotton market at the opening this morning but heavy realizing and rather more southern selling was encountered above the 21-cent level for winter December contracts closed at 21.05c compared with 21.o1c at the close yesterday. The general market closed barely steady net points higher to 20 points lower. Late months were relatively easy under selling against purchases of the nea. positions.
 The market closed steady at an advance of r to 37 points under a continuation of yesterdays buying movement which was stimulated by the firm showing of Liverpool and re- ports that British trade sports were becoming alarmed over the prospects for small crop estimate from the government on Monday. A few more October notices had no perceptible effect, but the opening advance en- countered a great deal of profit taking. while southern hedge selling also seemed to be more active.
 This combined with slightly higher private condition reports than yes terday led to local selling for a re- action in advance of the bureau as the result of which october eased off from 21.45c to 21.03c and January from 21.10c to 20.73c. Trade buying steadied the market at this level and prices firmed up again after the publication of bullish weekly re- port with many of the earlier sellers covering on the advance which car ried some positions into new high ground for the day. October sold up to 2130 and January to 21.0S but there was renewed liquidation late in the afternoon and another wave of selling orders from the south.
 Trade interests continued buyers of December but sold late months against it, and most of the southern hedge selling was also in the late de- liveries. Last prices were within a few points of the lowest. Of the two private crop reports one made the condition 41.3 and the indicated yield 361.000 and the other placed the condition at 43.5 and the yield at 6,736,000

FRESH DECLINES
 IN PR|CE0F WHEAT
 GRAIN PIT FEATURE
Corn Fell With Wheat, While Oats Followed the Down. ward Slide of the
 Other Cereals
By Associated Press

Chicago, September 28.-Uneasiness reigned in grain with financial and industrial conditions and had much to do today with bringing about fresh declines in the price of wheat. The market closed heavy at 2A @2Ssc net lower with December s1.20% @$I21 and May $1.25A @s125h.. Corn lost %cd 7sc and oats hc@ 5s to s4c. In provisions the outcome varied from Dc decline to s1.75 advance.
 With a spectacular new break in the value of the German mark, and with further evidence of great strain in the British unemployment situa- ton, wheat traders showed apparent lack of confidence in the buying side, Tn addition reports were current that Switzerland had decided to obtain all her cereal supplies henceforth from Rumania instead of from this country, because of the. difference of exchange rates. Then, too, the re- cent cut in ocean freight rates waa said to have depressed consigned number two hard winter wheat at Liverpool to II cents below the cost of replacing. Under such circum- stances the market here displayed no lasting powers to rally. notwith- standing word of active export busi- ness with the Orient. On the other hand, after the close gossip was cir culated that 2.000,000 bushels had been worked to Europe, including presumably 1900 900 bushels of Canadian wheat for Greece.
 fQ1 wifi tember delivery touched the lowest level since 1912. Oats followed the downward slide of other cereals
 Exhaustion of stocks Of pork here led to continued anxious bidding from shorts, and to sharp new jump in pork quotations.} Other provisions however were easy.

DIVERGENT VIEWS . .OF PROF ESS|ONALS
 MUCH IN EVIDENCE
Money Was Easier to the Ex- tent That All Call Loans Were Made at Five
 Per Cent
By Associated Press

New York, September 2S.-.Dea1ings in the stock market today continued to reflect the detached attitude of che public and the more divergent views of professional interests. Lead CTS rose and fell, mostly within con tracted limits and the operations Of bull pools in specialties were ig- nored.
 More than half or the business centered in favorites of the oil. steel, equipment and affiliated groups. Aside from fairly heavy offerings of Reading and Penna at 1 point de- clines, rails were relatively dull The tentative plan of the interstate com merce commission for a consolidation of the country's transportation sys- tems occasioned little comment.
 fine bond market lost some of it's recent activity and strength. Trad ing in liberty and victory issues was fairly extensive, but further specu- lative profit taking was in evidence, especially among liberties. Sales, par value $17,775,000.
 Wide fluctuations in cotton and grains again diverted attention from che securities market. Commission houses with connections at western and southern centers were most prominent in these commodities in which extensive exports were re- ported
 Money was easier to the extent that all call loans were made at D per cent against yesterdays maxi mum of 5h, but withdrawal of local reserves by interior banks reduced available supplies of time funds.
 Another slump in the German mark Tn the new low of 07S, with moderate recovery later was the distinguish ing feature of the foreign exchange market. British and French rates were barely steady. Italian plils eased and central European remit tances weak with the more ad- verse German rate. Slight improve ment was shown by Japanese quoe tations and the further advance of the Chinese rate, as represented by Shanghi, was ascribed to increased purchases of bar silver for that mar ket and East India.

Athens. September 2S.-(Special.) ) The gates of the Limestone county fair grounds were opened this morn- ing at g o'clock, with a small at- tendance compared with the preced- ing years of the association, due to the heavy rainfall throughout the county yesterday afternoon. The live stock and agricultural exhibits have not as yet been completed many having not yet been able to enter their exhibits, but the outlook for these who have not been able tc come is good today. There Is to be a splendid series of races this year and the track will be in fine shape by tomorrow, if the present weather continues,
 The ladies' aid societies of the diff ferent churches of the town are on the ground to servea dinners to the visitors, and there will be almost everything one could wish for along this line served at moderate prices.
