New York, Oct. ia more bullish
feeling characterized the trading at the
stock exchange this morning, the result
of better prices from London and of the
statement by Senator Quay OF the Re
publican national committee in regard TO
the outcome of the Presidential election.
There was little outside business, however
and the advance of IA to rs per cent
which followed was due mainly TO pur-

One Was Caused by a Man Smoking
His Pipe in Bed.
