NEW YORK.-Lloyd's, which will
insure you against most anything from
a rainy day to a grease spot on your

new risk. During the last few days 1t
has been writing policies on the cleo
ton of William j. Bryan.
The agents have placed already over
half a million dollars worth In he
Wall street district since Tuesday.
They insure at 10 per cent.
The policies have been taken out
mainly by brokers and financiers who
are long on the market aud who were
anxious to hedge against q smash in
stocks In the event OF Bryan's cleo
tion.
In other words, at the 10 per cent
rate a policy-holder has bet, say, $40,
900 against 100000 that Bryan will be
elected. The only difference is that
IN either event Lloyd's keeps the $40.
