courtesy French; a first, a second and
a third attache; a marshal, a courier,
a butler, a chauffeur, and, for good

New York, Oct 6-There was
much nervousness manifested in to

fluctuations of prices followed each

resistance to the prevailing depres
sion Of the foreign markets was made
at the opening, when heavy buying
orders forced prices upwards with
some violence. Aggressive operations
in Union Pacific led to the supposi-
tion that leadership of the market
was being reasserted by forces long
supposed to be in control. Buying to

freely in the final break yesterday
was an element in the spurt.
News from abroad by that time
also was of reassuring character

as Offering a means of a peaceful
