NEW YORK, Oct 13.-Higher levels

higher prices. relieved OF the dread Of
trust decisions in the near future and
with good earnings in sight as a result
Of the agricultural prosperity Of the ma

porary reactions are looked for.
Whether the rise has been brought
about by legitimate accumulation or IS
the work Of some clever manipulatOrs
IS question on which the Street Is d.
vided, but it is welcomed whatever it's

afternoon
The program, which extends over to-
morrow and Saturday, IS scheduled to
start each day at 2:30 O'Clock.
On the ground that II Is Of a scientific
and educational nature, the Commits
sioners have decided that there IS no
regulation prohibiting an aviation ex-
hibitiOn on Sunday.
This decision is in accordance with an
opinion rendered by the Corporation
Counsel. and is in response 10 a letter
from J. s. Berger asking permission 10
give an airship exhibition on that dav.
In his letter 10 the Commissioners Mr..
Berger states that ne has received in
quiries from TIE railroad company as TO
his intention 10 give an exhibition on
Sunday, il being the intention TO run
special eXcur siOns TO Washington or
that day.
1T would be the only day they could
bring large crowds 10 Washington"
that the business and labOring men are
actively engaged during the week. It
will afford also an opportunity for the
Baltimoreans 70 come to Washington 10
