Some Ways of Producing Artificial Low

A Romance or she Pserage.

The death of Lord Dunboyne recalls
one of the romances of the peerage.
The twelfth Lord Dunboyne was Ro
man Catholic bishop of Cork, when the
peerage unexpectedly deyolyed upon
him through the death of a nephew.
Wishing to perpetuate the family and
the title, he applied to Pope Plus vi
for a dispensation to retire from the
episcopate and to marry. The reply he
got from the vatican was couched in
the severest terms of censure. He
thereupon broke his VOW of celibacy
and married Protestant young lady,
afterwards publicly seeding from the
Roman Catholic church. There was.
however no issue to the marriage, and
shortly before his death, he was re-
ceiyed baca into the Roman Catholic
church by the Rev. DR.. Gahan. The
widow of the ex-bishop survived him
for sixty years. dying in August. 1860

BALTIMORE PROVISIONS.
STOCKS AND ONDS.

New York, ~ct. 15.-There was an
outburst of large and buoyant specuia-
ton in the stock market today, which
lifted prices during the course Of the
day from one to over three points.
The buying came from many divergent
elements, but the patent fact was that
an enormous number of stocks were
bought in an eager and confident man
ner on a rapidly rising scale of prices
Forced covering by a largely extended
short interest had something to do
with the rise. Bull speculation by a
number of powerful cliques, some of
them newly formed, this morning,
aided the advance. The commission
houses reported that they had large
orders to buy from outside sources.
What proportion these various
elements had in the aggregate
OF the days trading it is
not possible even to esti-
mate, but no merely technical condi-
tons could have resulted in so con
siderable a rise In prices and in such
a widely distributed strength. The
true basis of the advance evidently
was the change in the money outlook
and in the promise held out to the
speculative spirit in the general condi-
tons. There has been steady growth
of confidence in Wall street for some
time past in the general outlook for
business. 1t has been firmly held that
as soon as business uncertainties were
disposed of there would be a renewal
of bushes activity up to the high level
OF the recent prosperous period. On
the other hand, the growing constric-
ton of the money supply left room for
doubt whether the intervening period
could be bridged without such a mon
ey stringency as would be disastrous
to speculative commitments. The con-
Viction crystalized today that the dan
ger of money stringency was miti-
gated and the expected post-election
demand for securities was discounted
on a very large scale. Saturdays bank
statement demonstrated that a very
large contraction of loans had been
effected without serious harm to the
stock market, thus conserving the sur
plus reserve. The gold engaged in
Europe last week is expected to ar
rive in time to show in next Saturdays
bank statement.
The large additional engagements
of gold announced this morning prom

that the gold comes from South At

change was due simply to the pur-
chase of bills against the gold imports.
