Americans Steady Abroad.

The London stock market showed more
cheerful tone than has been exhibited
there in some days, and for the first time
in more than a week the American depart
ment participated in the generally steady
tone.
Operations here for foreign account were
IN greatly reduced volume, but with pur-
chases predominating notably in United
states Steel common. The local stock mar
ket showed many extensive swings in prices
IN both directions, and generally irregu-
far appearance throughout the business ses-
sion. Both Northern Pacific and Great
Northern preferred were under pronounced
pressure during the forenoon session, and
many othe active issues during that time
showed declines of l per cent and over.
Even during that period, however, many
stocks were well supported. cases in point
being Baltimore and Ohio, Atchison. Union
and Southern Pacific and the United States
Steel shares, and after midday the market
at large showed an irregular disposition to-
ward recovery.
There was no further change in the bet
ting odds offered against the democratic
candidate, the only stock market evil
dence of confidence as to the outcome
OF the election was furnished In the ex-
ceptional strength of Brooklyn Rapid
Transit. There was a further material
increase in the volume of business trans
acted but again undue conveyance
OF interest upon a small number OF
stocks. These were notably Reading,
Anal gamated Copper. Union Pacific and
United States Steel, common. The pres
sure exhibited in the case of Amalgamated
Copper seemed to be based chiefly upon
a further decline in the quotations for
the metal in the London market.

Lake Cities in the Lead.
From the Cleveland Leader.

All recent tests show that the ports of
the great lakes are leading the progress Of
the United States. Chicago. Cleveland.
Buffalo, Detroit and Milwaukee, with Du-
luth and Superior thrown in at the head of
the greatest lake and many thriving ports ON
Lake Erie added, are a unique section of
the urban life Of America. Their rate Of
growth is the highest maintained in any
group of cities. Their death rate IS phe-
nomenaliy low. Their proportion Of home
owners Is extraordinary. Their totals and
gains in savings bank deposits are almost
Unparalleled. They are handsome cities as
group. full of enterprise and activity.
fairly eloquent with the spirit Of prosperity
and progress.

New Headwear.

From the Tattler.
Most becoming to the majority of faces
are the turbans and toques of various furs
draped with crepe and chiffon scarves in
different shades. Few women can afford
to run to sable in their headgear. but the
art of reproducing the becoming sable
shade in other furs has been brought to
such pitch of perfection that it is pos
sible to wear an imitation toque with a
genuine stole without outraging good taste
in the least degree. The newest Idea in
fur headgear is not toque, however, but
hat with an oval mushroom brim A
model in sable has rather close folds of
thick blue crepe de chine surrounding the
crown and forming a veil of moderate
length behind. The tout ensemble Is
charming in the extreme, and this model
is, moreover, one that may be worn with
effect by most women.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS

There was not much done in the bond
list at today's meeting Of the stock ex-
change. Some of the 6 per cent gas GER
tif1cates were sold and brought as high as
112, which is about 2 points above the bid
price of yesterday. However. at that time
there was no offering. The demand for
them continued on a higher level as at the
close the bid was Ill.
A couple of the bonds Of the telephone
company sold for 104A. and there were
more to be had at the same price. but the
bid did not go beyond 1O4h.
There was pretty good buying for the
common stock of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company on q range of from
1871 to 3SA. but the supply at the latter
figure was not exhausted.
A bid was made for an option at 39h for
four months for 1000 shares. but there was
no offering made Of such block.
The preferred stock sold on q range OF
from S7h to S7A and at the close OF the
trading there was no stock offered at less
than S7H, thus leaving both the asking
price and the bid on a slightly lower range
than was the case yesterday.
There was not much of consequence done
in the rest Of the list and the changes
made in the figures were not Of any special
significance.
