Bryan and ChanIer money is getting scarcer
every day among the layers of odds The prices
quoted Yesterday ranged from 412 10 319 to 1
on Taft and from 10 to 5 to even money on
Hughes It was reported that in one brokers'
office 81 ODO had been offered at 312 to : on
Taft. with no takers. On the curb ~ to l was
offered on Taft and there $500 to 500 was bet
on Taft
The sum Of $500 at even money was wagered
in the uptown office of a well known commits
sion house on Chanler
At the Stock Exchange small bet of 500 to
500 was placed on Hughes. on the curb mar
ket bets were reported TO have been made at
even money on the result Of the state election.
although some Lettors tried TO get 10 TO on
Chaner during the forenoon.
Two bets were made yesterday at even money
that Bryan would get more electoral votes this
year than he got in 1896. They were both small
wagers.
Between members of the Cotton Exchange II

other members there had been wagered $1,000
TO $1,000 upon Taft.
The amount of TAT: and Hughes money
offered in Wall Street yesterday was about

even at that price.
