DAUGHTER A.. f 1 - New York, Nov. 17.?In her six teenth >ear, MIbs Kugcuta Marie La denburg, daughter of Mrs. Emily !*adenburg of the Meadow Brook ao celty colony, must needs go to Eu rope for the finishing of her educa tion. In a petition to Surrogate Jack son at Mineola, L. 1., yesterday, Mrs Ladenburg made an estimate of what It would. In her opinion, cost annu ally to give the finishing touches of education to a debutante. 8he named a sum larger than the sal ary of the mayor of Now York. She thought that 917,000 a year would be required for the purpose. Surrogate Jackson decided that the papers were not drawn up prop erly and would not pass on them yesterday, but he will In a few days name an amount, now problematical, to be devoted to little Miss Laden burg's tutoring snd living expenses abroad. Her father was Adolph Ladenburg He was lost at sea nearly 15 years ago In a hurricane off the Florida coast. It Is believed that he was washed overboard from the steam ship.

Nov. 16.?Full bins* of corn and oats have had ouch to do with the fall in meat prices In the opinion of Secretsry >f Agriculture Wilson. "The present break In meat prices mid Secretary Wilson in discussing :he reports from various cities. "Is lardly a normal market develop nent. While it Is true that we ihould expert a downward trend of prices because of the great crops of "orn and oats we have had. the pres pnt sudden drop In meats is too pronounced to be an effect from that ?auoe altogether. I believe the douth In the southwest and the consequent shortage and high price of hay are responsible for an unusual move ment for this season of farmers rushing to market with their stock. They tiee that It pays better to ?ell now than to feed through the winter. They probably are also In fluenced by anticipation of a lower market. "It's too soon after election to connect politics with the decline of prices. The country is full of corn and oats; that's the reason funda mentally for a lowering of prices."
