UNA VERSION MAS REAL


otra de las vecinas mujer menos SUI
persticiosa, nos refiri6 que tai historic,
revivida en- ell ano de 1918 por algunos
.vecinos timoratos no tenia mas orige1
que el. siguiente:
Una anciana llamada Margarita oeu-
paba precisamente Ia habitaci6n de
donde Sc ve.a gurgir Ia silueta de la
monja Elvira Esta anciana era bruja'
es decir, vendia bebedizos' y fltros,
tenien5o una abundante clientela que
la visitaba frecuentemente. segin nos
refieren, concurrian y la casa de dofia
Margarita, como solian Ianarle, per
sonas de alta sociedad metropolitana
de souella epoca, encontradas mujeres
y galanes que creian aun en- ''bruje-
rias'' Cuando lie reunion de estas per-
sonas era abundante, la viejecilla ha-
cia exorcismos Y quemaba hierbag o1oro-
sas.
Por las noches, al flo de las doce,
esta anciana bajaba de su cuarto para
arrojar un cesto con cenizas en- un an
gulo del patio y este dio lugar para
Greer que Sc trataba de un "espanto'.
Ademas coincidia con la silueta que
EN- las noche habfan visto los vecinos;
era alta, delgada y con el cabello blan-
CO.
. Para terninar, nos decia que otra an
ciana cuyo hijo era un parrandero con-
suetu3inario, esperaba la llegada de es-
te todas las noches hasa ell alba su
silueta era semejante la de la vieje-
ella.
MIy bien puede suceder que efec-

Stock And Commodity
 Prices Drop Sharply

NEW YORK. July 2s.-Sharp breaks. In the stock, wheat and cot ton markets and the further col lapse of tho German marks to a rate below $1 a million were the outstand- ing features of this weeks financial and commodity markets.
 The decline In the stock market came after long period of dullness in which the main trend had been upward. Selling pressure which orig mated largely from bear traders was most effective in the northwestern rails and oils. Offerings of the rails were inspired by the failure of some of the large systems to earn their fixed charges in recent months, the Minneapolis and St. Louis receiver ship. the expectation of reduced earn tngs because of low wheats, the growth of the farmer-labor movement with the increased prospect of radi- cal railroad legislation and the ex- pected demands of the Dig four" brotherhoods for higher wages. Oils were sold on reports that several small companies were in need of new capital to provide storage facilities for the surplus product.
 Fear of political uprisings in Ger many also has been a depressing fac tor on all markets.
 Money rates continue relatively easy with no indication of any tight ening for some time to come. New bond offerings were again unusually small with no sign as yet of any extensive July reinvestment demand

Cotton Goods Primer As Demand Increases

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Cotton goods have become firmer and more business has been done in gray cloths and in finished cloths. The reprtc- ing of percsIes on a basis of 12h c for 4x4 64x60s has given buyers more confidence that reductions now rep resent the lowest to be hoped Tor In the near future at least. The read tustment of spot and future cotton values has also removed some part oi the cotton uncertainty that has been Affecting cloth merchandising. About 500. 900 pieces of print cloths have been bought in the past week at low prices that are no longer obtalnabie' the advances from the bottom rang ing from hc to Ac yard Offerings of colored cottons from stock at lower prices are being taken up. New singham lines are being shown ana buyers are expecting that new prices may ba named on them. In some m stances new business Is being oookeo at prices to be named later. b4eacneo cottons are steadier and nave soIu little moro freely. There Is stlil great deal of curtailment or pr0ouc- ton going on and some very large noilIs will enter upon curtailment plans next week, to last inter HI ''ei' iy through August.

Curb Prices Sag On Late Week Selling

NEW YORK, July 28.-After irree- ular movements in the first few days tho week wound up with 6 general selling movement that carried prices or some issues down to new low rec ords for the year. The market re- sisted to a material degree the wa Vering tendency shown in other trad ing groups, but as declines in other markets progressed, weakness ex- tended to the Curb securities and there was a general contraction of demand in the last few days. Petro- leum Issues were naturally fn- tluenced by the unsettled condition of the crude oil market following the statement of record-breaking production last week, and when fur ther declines were announced in crude oil and petroleum products the supply of those stocks increased to a considerable volume. The heaviest loss was in South Pennsylvania Oil, which dropped IA points to 105. The high price of this stock for the year was 196. Prairie oil and Gas, Mag nclia and a number of the high priced issues also sustained declines. Dealings in Standard oil of Indiana were on a large scale, that stock being offered in round amounts and declining points. Vacuum, which had been steadily held early in the week. later dropped over points. Similar losses were sustained in the independent oil stocks, but trading in those issues was of a more or derly character. Seaboard was stead fly held and was In good demand when other issues were weak.

BOND PRICES TURN DECIDEDLY HEAVY IN SHORT SESSION

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Bond prices turned decidedly heavy in today's brief session of the market, the largest losses being recorded In the foreign and railroad groups.
 Liquidation by investors who are worried over the outcome of the Ger man political and reparations situa- tion resulted in recessions of a point or more in Bordeaux 6s, Belgian Ss, Prague 711s, Chinese 5s, Mexican 5s and Bolivian Ss, while number of others yielded fractionally.
 United States government issues registered recessions of one-thirty- second to five-thirty seconds of 1 point.
 St. Paul mortgages were pressed for sale, the convertible AIS drop ping 19s and the refunding 41as 2%. Losses of point or more also were scored by Chicago and Eastern Hi nois 5s, Southern railway 61ss and Interborough Rapid Transit refund- ing 5s stamped.
 Industrial liens offered better rel slstance to pressure, the active Issues showing only fractional recessions.

Wheat Drops FolloU Downturns En Stocks

CHICAGO, July 2s.-Material de- clines in the value of wheat this week has been closely associated with downturns in price on the New 4ork Stock Exchange. Compared with week ago. wheat this morning was 1 Cent to Ar cents lower, with corn at k cent decline to & @31s cents advance, cats varying from 4s O 1e cenx off 70 1 cent gain, and provi- sions showing a setback ranging from cents to 20 cents.
 With wheat traders generally hold ing to the view that the new crop movement this season would virt- tually be over before preliminary ar rangements could be made to put into wide operation the Amer.can farm bureaus plan for government finan- ced farm storage Of wheat, tae mar ket showed declining tendency nearly every day Sharpest declines. however, took place on the days when weakness in securities in Wall street was most evident, especially whep values gave way after lead ing Chicago banker expressed bear ish opinions regarding prospects of improved trade with Europe
 Increasing receipts of wheat here and at other primary points were reflected by persistent hedging sales and with harvesting already begun fin Canada and a liberal yield there was expected, buying orders lacked sufficient volume to maintain the few price rallies which were witnessed. One such rally came in connection with reports that black rust was tmpairing the crop outlook in the Canadian northwest, but the effect was soon offset by word that Great Britain was selling back United States wheat and taking Argentine wheat instead.
 Dearth of rain during much of the week. together with scarcity of pres ent supplies of corn. made prices of tcorn and oats average higher.
 Provisions were depressed by ur- favorable advices from Germany and by heavy domestic marketing of hogs.
