Market MOVEMENTS
OF THE DAY

New York. Nov. S.-Thc initial up
ward impetus of stocks came today
from professional buying to cover
short contracts. and was based on
the decision of the Imperial Bank of
Germany to leave its minimum dis
count rate unchanged. The closing
was easy. The weekly return of the
Imperial Bank of Germany. while
showing an Improvement in condition,
went but short way toward making
up the deterioration Of the previous
week in connection with the Novem-
Der settlements.
The Bank of England secured the
800 900 of South African gold avail
able in the London market. but the
London control of New York's gold
was reasserted in the resumption Of
the outgo Of gold to South America,
engagements of more than a million
on Wednesday.
The Bank Of England also borrowed
from the London open market. The
Paris money market is the most
abundantly supplied of all the inter-
national money markets. and the dis
crepancy in the interest rate in Lon
don is prompting purchases of finan
cial paper in London by French
bankers.
The influence of the cotton specula-
tion upon the international exchange
market became perceptibIe today i'm
connection with the violent slump in
the prices Of cotton. a notably
strong feature of the market was
Amalgamated Copper. The influence
back of this movement was the per-
sistence Of the rumors toward the
working agreement of the various i'm
portant interests amongst the copper
producers.
The London price Of the red metal
rose In connection with these reports
and i'm spite of the expectation that
the statistics for october of the Cop
per Producers association would show

THE details in the Gould di-
vorce suit are nauseating in the
way of showing how wasteful the
upper classes deem it necessary
to be. The wife of Gould AYERS
that it was absolutely necessary
for her to spend from 500 TO $500
for her gowns and wear them only
once as it would have been bad
form to wear the same dress twice.
She gave them away after that
one display and purchased more.
Her wealthy husband protested
over her extravaganza and the
divorce suit followed. We can't
help thinking that a woman of
Mrs. Gould's sort deserves
id good licking but that too
is bad form and likely Mr.. Gould
chose the better part. Still
barrel stave worn out on her
hustle might have preserved

the darkness was partially dis

will be three months probably be-
