Two Omaha girls, who were re
ported missing from their homes,
turned up yesterday afternoon and
fell into the clutches of the juvenile
court officials. i
Mrs. Jack Wilson, 5805 South
Fifteenth street, appealed to South
V Side police Tuesday to institute a
search for her daughter,- Alice Mul
' ford, 15, who, said, had dropped
from sight after leaving- home to go
for an automobile ride with a young
man. . '
Police search for the girl availed
nothing." The mother became frantic
J with grief and according to neigh-
Voors, refused to eat because of the
absence of her child.
Yesterday morning, Mrs. M. Ralth,
2763 South Ninth street, told police
her daughter, Mane, 14 left home
Wednesday with two other girls of
the neighborhood. :--r-V
About 11 yesterday morning, Mrs.
Wilson received a telephone call
.from Alice. " 5 '
"I'll be right home," the girl told
. her mother, according to police re
ports. Don't Worry, I'm all right."
Patrolmen Jackman and Pleming
of the South Side station were noti
fied.
But the girl did not appear at
her home until about 1:30. With
here were Marie Ralth, daughter of
Mike KaJth, Union Pacitic watch
man, and the girl reported missing by
her mother yesterday morning, and
a youth who gave his name as John
Barwich, 19, 3354 T street.
When Officer Jackman and Flem
' ing reached the Wilson home, they
found the trio seated in the parlor.
None of them would give any ac
count of their absence and police
took them in custody to be turned
over to the juvenile authorities.
Meanwhile police are seeking an
other youth believed to have been a
member of the quartet of runaways,

New York Coffee.
New York, Sept. IS. The coffee market
'vened at an advance of 4 polnta to a
lerllne of 3 points but soon turned easy
under further scattering liquidation of
December, part of which waa In the way
of switching to later months.
Reports that the crop of Porto Rico
had been damaged by a tropical storm
failed to create any buying power of
onseouence and th market worked still
lower during the afternoon on report of
easier cost and freight oners.
December sold off to 7.27c or about
S3 points below the recent high level and
closed at that figure, with the genersl
market ahowing a net decline of 13 to
I points. Sales were estimated at aft

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES,
tlileagw Trfbaas Qamaaa Ism Lea) Wart,
H'rw York. Sent IS. Despite
reactionary trend of pricei on the
atnrk rsrhanoa and in the llfte
commodity market, todiy'i financial
incident! were singularly interfiling.
Thty comprised a further decline in
call money rates lo 4Ji pt cent, the
lowtit of the year, except for a unglc
day in late July: decline io the Ger
man mark to the new low price, of
90-100 of a cent, and rise in
the reserve percent! to tha
vnr's highest fia-ure both in the fed
tral lyitem aa a whole and nt the
New York reserve bank. On the
face of things, the day'i developments
pointed to easy money throughout
the autumn; not leu 10, r"np,
when the low rate for money occur
red on the dar of quarterly pay
menti on the $2,600,000,000 federal
tjxei.
Tk. .,,ii,hii use af tha weekly fed
eral reserve report was the reduction of
k.00.ot In rediscount of the entlr eye.
tern, and of 6l.ot.o at the New York
bank alone. Such reduction has occurred
In other Seotembere. but the utr.mely
lee point ta which the rediscount pspir
has beea brought thl year, had led la the
belief that tha first return to autuma aa
ivttiaa would enlaraa the account. In
lass mt that, tke total af rediscount now
en th books af Ih system Is not t-nly ths
smallest af tha year, but the em.ll.wi since
four month before the armistice. con
circulation, too, has decreased almost ss
rscldlv ss It Incrsescd In ths previous
week; reserves held for private bsnks was
Imllerlv reduced, and theee changes In
liabilities, coming along with lit.OOO.OaO
addition lo gold reeerve. brought th
whol ystm pessrva percentage from
II U to 110. and th New York bank'a
from llo to 76 4tc. In each case tha
present ratio la much tha highest of th
year.
Decline on tha dock market ranging
from small fractions to 1 or I points In
the artlvs Blocks. Indicated little except
the oroflt taklna- of speculators who
judged thst the market had loit Ita up
ward Impelu with tha recent extensive
rlolng out of belated speculations for tha
decline. Traneactions were mum emaiisr
than en any prevlou dy thl week.

rit Note.
It I Ih view of two of the leader
in the escort trade In wheat that tha
tatlatica on wheat will again be a aource
f disappointment to operators in this
rain before the end of the crop year.
Moat or tha buying at tne preaent time
la baaed on the belief that supplies of
wheat will be eatremely low six months
from now.
This is not the belief or the export
ere referred to. They concede a big de
mand throughout the crop year, but are of
the opinion that unless there Is a taillcal
crop calamity In the southern hemlsnntre,
Europe will ne a Die to nuy its supplies
without difficulty, and will refuse to pay
any more for wheat than absolutely neces
cv.
Native crops In Europe, It la said, will
be- used more economically than oer
before, and while Rueela will require some
wheat and other grain. It Will be avail
able. Thla view la contrary to that held
by many ot the leading grain men of
the country, who believe world suppll
are too closely adjusted to permit any
confidence In lower prices prei,ling.
There was no chsnge In cash wu si pre.

cline along with th rains in Argentina
and the weaker tone ot our nortnweec
and Canadian markets put a damper 0-1

for local bears to depress price for

sided than it hss been for nomt t.m.t.
Country offerings of wheat wars re

Canada were mora favorable, and thresh

cially bearish on corn this morning, due
