MARCH 26, 1915. 2 a The ancient "Suanish prisoner" aine almost caught another victim, when Jusepu A. Feeny. of 6343 Foster Road, ent a cablegram to Madrid in response to the frautic appeal of the "wealthy Russian banker." supposed to he serv ing a smtence in a Spanish prison for manslaughter. Air. Feeny got a bulky rply with; instruction; to leav for MadriQ once. He read the rply and took it to iistrit-t Attorney Kvans office. "I've decided eomeone is trying play a joke on me. I think I'll Jeave thse things here, he said, and went an-ay. Conies of the "Russian banker's" ap peal for help arc common in all parts of the United .States. The stock letter, which Is sent in response to the cable- gran i. however, is rare, and District Attorney iivans says none has ever fallen into his hands before. When a "victim" ?oes that far he usually "falls' the rest of the way, or if he doesn't, he keeps quiet about it, because be docs not want it known that he spent liis perfectly good money to send a cablpram to Madrid. I'llght In lIcHCrlbed, OM as it is. the Spanish prisoner "bunko" frame may still need explain ins". Tho tir.st letter sent out irom .Madrid informs the recipient that he lias been recommended as a man of good heurt and one who will be trust worthy in an important mission. Tiie Russian banker, in this case named Serge JniloviefT. Incloses a newspaper clipping which tells part of his story. Jlo absconded from Ht. Petersburg and wont to America. I lo deposited $41. OftO in a Chicago bank and took a certificate of deposit. He went back to burope and found himself in Spain There he mt an old enemy, had s quarrel, and shot the man dead on the street. He was arrested, tried, and sentenced to prison for manslaughter. Jus luggage was still in the railway station accumulating storage charges and dust. J lis portmanteau, contain ing the precious certificate of deposit Is In the hands of some man who has a claim against It. The Russian banker Isn't anxious a bout himself. He cares only for his beautiful daughter. Will the kind .Americans please procure the certifi cate of deposit, cash it, pay the daugh ter $320,000 and keep the $160,000 for his trouble? The mission requires secrecy. Direction h Given for Jouraey. The first letter contains a request that the recipient cable to a certain mysterious address in Madrid. The second letter, sent in response to the cablegram, further elucidates the ti tuition. It contains a long list f directions for the journey to Madrid. It contains an official-looking docu ment purporting to be the Russian tmnker's commitment papers. It con tains a long letter explaining many things and expressing many thanks. The kind American must send a cable gram when he reaches New York and another when he gets to Gibraltar. A lso. he should bring along $"000 to pay the bad man who is keeping the Russian bankers' portmanteau. The cer tificate of deposit is in a secret pocket of I h is portmanteau. To make the second letter even more impressive a number of Spanish news paper clippings which might or might iiot have a bearing on the case are thrown in for good measure. Needless to say. the fSOOO which the kind American pays to the man to get t he portmanteau is the key to the whole situation. Mr. Kvans has filed for reference the new series of letters. :'ROVEME-T IV VOLUME TRADE -T VARUS. Good Light Hogs Bring $7.45, Alckel Better Than on Pwedinff Day Cattle Steady.

The market for all kinds of leather, as well aa hides, continues weak and prices seem to bo m the process of adjustment to the new conditions. The boom brought about by large purchases of leather by Euro. pean governments during the latter part of lust year has passed. During the lata Fall and early Winter months, largo con tracts were made in the United States by several of the European governments for many different varieties of leather goods suitable for military use, and there was tlso unusually heavy buying of leather by Indi viduals abroad, especially those located in Great Britain. Thia great Increase in for eign trade caused such, demand for certain lines of leather, particularly heary shoe upper, strap, bag. collar, saddlery skirting and harness, that prices advanced to a point almost beyond the reach of domeetlc users, and now that the foreign inquiry has prac tically ceased tanners are commencing to realise that unless there Is a resumption of European buying on an extensive scale val ues must return to a more normal level. Along with the rapid advance in leather hide prices rose in proportion and tanners fear that on the downward swing of the market material losses will have to be sus tained on hides worked up at the high prh es. During the past five or six weeks . American hide prices have declined from 2c to 2,4c, but that tanners consider the market as still too high is evidenced by the fact that only small scattering sales are effected. Of late thero has been some trouble re- gardJiig; deliveries of leather military equip ment to Great Britain on contracts made late !ftt year and numerous shipments from Western factories of these goods have been rejected by the English government agents in New York, despite the fact that they had been passed by factory inspectors appointed by the British govemraei U Buying for European account is probably not at an end but it is doubtful If the high prices of last Tln ter are restored. Dun's Review believes that if the war in Europe is to continue for any length of time there can bo no doubt but that American leather will bo needed for army shoes and other military equipment, but that there will be any such scramble or any such prices paid as was the case during tho early stages of the conflict is extremely doubtful. Most of the European belligerents are In a more favorable position now to produce a good part of their supplies than was the case formerly and the different countries have also made better arrangements for buying abroad. Go-betweens and fat commissions have been largely eliminated and in most cases responsible parties have been ap pointed as agents who are In a position to see not only that the buyers receive the right quality and kind of goods they desire, but that prices will not be on an extrava gant basis. v ACTIVE APPLE SEASON IS PLANNED North Pacific Fruit Distributors Will Main tain Organization, Announcement is made by the North Pa cific Fruit Distributors that the organ! tlon will be maintained, notwithstanding the withdrawal of the Apple Growers' Asso. elation of Hood River. The Hood River association has given no official notice to the Distributors of Its 'in tent to leave the fold, but the Distributors board of trustees has been meeting in Spo kane for several days and, it Is stated, has been proceeding on the assumption that such action will be taken and also that H. F. Davidson, of Hood River, will retire from tho presidency next month in conformity with an announcement recently made by him. The trus tees present at the Distributors meeting were firm in their determination to maintain the organization and go ahead with new plans for the coming year. "A number of problems that have hitherto perplexed us were worked out at the meet ing," said J. H. Bobbins, general manager of the Distributors. "Some of these prob lems have been referred to the executive committee to put into definite form for pre sentation at the next board meeting, April 6. While It is not thought advisable to Intimate the direction these plans will take just now, we can say that they are de signed to effect greater unity, simplicity, economy and efficiency. They are based Ju a large measure upon the two years actual experience of the Distributors."

According to La Prensa of Buenos Aires the 1015 wool clip of Argentina will yield 85,000 bales, which, if current prices are obtained, will produce $19,000,000 United States currency. Never In the business his tory of these countries has wool realized such high prices as are now being paid, due entirely to the urgent need for this raw material in certain of the countries engaged in tlve war in Europe. Although this year the wool dtp Is less In quantity than last year, its greater value compensates tor this shrinkage, so that the proceeds should amount to about the same as last year's. The highest price paid for wool in the Sydney market this season was established yesterday, says the Sydney Herald of Feb ruary IS, when 15 shillings 3J cents) per pound was realized for six bales of crossbred. Merino wool usually takes pride of place In quality, quantity and price, but the war has placed crossbred wool on a far higher plane than it previously occupied. This season's previous record price was 154 shillings (30 cents) paid for merino wool. obtained for the leading lines of two or three famous clips, yesterday that was superseded by the 13 shillings (31 cents) for six bales of the WLS brand, a fine, bright, and light crossbred hogget wool.
