NEW YORK, October 30.-Actiyity re-
sulting from increased confidence on the
part of the professional trading element as
TO the vGlnerabIlity of stock values, result
ed in substantial concessions in all parts of
the active list this morning. London cables
reflected a lower range of prices for the
favorte international issues, and brought
some small selling orders into the local
market.
A sensational decline in the Philadelphia
market in which the shares of the Storage
Battery Company figured for 20 per cent
concessions, was utilized to further the re-
action on the theory that other securities
would be sacrificed to protect crumbling
margins. The phenomenal rise in the shares
named was of the character and proper
tons usually precede such events as
were recorded today.
The stree 9Th of the foreign exchange
market with rates trif1e nearer the eX-
port point than at any time of late, was
also potent factor in the decline. The
supply of all classes of bills continues small

FIGHTING OVER THE WILL.
Controversies Over Testimony in the
OlmStead Case.


In the contest over the will OF the late
Mrs Katie Hutchinson O.mstead, wife of
MIR. John F. Olmstead and daughter of the
late Hayward NJ. Hutchinson, the testi.
mony of the mother of Mrs. Olmstead oc-
cupied the attention of the court today.
Much of the testimony given by Mrs.
Hutchinson at the first trial of the case
was today excluded on the objections of
Mr.. Olmsteads counsel. Messrs. Henry E.
Davis AMI Jere. NJ. Wilson.
Indeed, most of today's proceedings con-
sisted of legal controversies between them
and Messrs. Enoch Totten and z. Ross
Perry, counsel for Mrs. Linda Hutchinson
Webb. sister of Mrs. Olmstead who is
seeking to break the will made in 1889, in
which Mr.. Olmstead was made the prac.:-
cally sole beneficiary.
The object OF introducing Mrs. Hutch:n-
soas testimony. it appe lred, to sun
port the c-nteation OF Mrs. Webb that Mr..
Olmstead soma six years prior to the max
ing of his wife's VIII sought to secure fGI
his wife her share of her fathers estat e.
and aiSo endeavored to create q ascension
between Mrs. O!mstead and her mother ana
sister.
Judge Bradley held that such testimony
was both irrelevant and too remote to affect
the questions 81 issue in the case on trial.
His rulings. of course, were invariably eX-
cepted to by Mrs. Webb's counsel.

During the past few weeks several small
