The Stock Market.

New York, Nov. 9,-The market was very active and decidedly irregular during the
 morning session on the stock exchange and
 at one time the list took on quite uniform, evidences of strength and even buoyancy. But by 12:30 o'clock the demand for securi- ties seemed satisfied and the market fell into dulness and somewhat reactionary ten dency which persisted to the close. Lon don, In spite of the dullness and heaviness of the general market there, had confidently
 marked up prices of Americans yesterday and today while the New York exchange was not i'll session, The British interpreta- tion and understanding of the American elections, always more or less obscure and confused, prompted them to do this The showing below the London parity. The in- ternatonal arbitrage brokers seized this op- portunity to cover sales made at higher level in London.

Ta-Ra Ra Boom-De-Ay Dancer Cuts
 Her Throat-She Will Live. London, Nov. 9.-Lottie Collins, the music hall singer, attempted to commit suicide to-day by cutting her throat She was taken to the hospital, where it was found that her injuries were not serious,
 Lottie Collins gained her reputation in night. She sang "Ta-ra-ra Boom de-ay" one evening in a London music hall, and the next morning woke to find herself famous. There were soon scores of others singing Boom-de-ay, but there was but one Lottie Collins. She had had long, hard fight to lift herself above the level of the ordinary music hall singer, and she meant to hold her vantage ground. She did until the song had run its course. Then she began to drop out of sight. Now and then she has been talked of since; but not for long.
 Lottie Collins was born in England When only eight years old she made her first appearance on the stage. With her appeared her sister the pair doing a skipping rope dance. At seventeen she began to dance in skirts, introduce ing the skirt dance, which gained so much popularity later. She appeared in this country in 1889, but attracted no great attention. Tara -ra- Boom de- ay" started it's run in 1891.
 In the fall of the following year Lot tie Collins returned to the United States and when she went back home in the next spring she took with her $25,000, which she had earned in the course of her visit She appeared at the Hyperi- on theater in New Haven several times in late years.
 In private life Lottie Collins is known as Mrs. Samuel Cooney. She is the mother of three children
 Miss Collins attempt at self-destruc- tion is attributed to the fact that do- nestle troubles have been preying upon her mind.
