WALL STREET IS .. LESS PESS|M|ST|C Trading in Stocks Increased
 Last Week SEVERAL REASONS
SEVERAL
Provisional Acceptance of the Disso- lution Plan of the American Tobacco Company the
 Most Potent

Few York November 5.-Through many weeks of depression in the stock market ano iineaainess over the political and in ,lu,:trial situation, Wall street gave itself over to gloomy forebodings. Trade was shrinking, stocks were falling and the future of the great corporations was re- gerded as uncertain. Last week witnessed change.
 Sentiment became more hopeful. Trad ing in stocks increased and the most rapid and extensive advance of several months was achieved.
 Ol the several influences which brought about the change probably the most po- tert was the qualified acceptance of the American Tobacco reorganization plan by tlIe Attorney General. Stock market op- orators jumped to the conclusion that thls action foreshadowed approval by the courts of the plan with the safeguards insisted upon by the government.
 Deduction was made that should the dissolution suit against the United States Steel corporation, or similar suits which may be instituted against other large cor pCrations, be decided in favor of the prosecution, reorganization would be pos- siole upon the general lines laid down in the American Tobacco case.
 Especial interest attached to the fixing, of the 40 per cent of any particular line o' the tobacco business as the justifiaele limit of control.
 The first concrete example is thus given of the views of the department of justice as to the precentage of the coun- try's business in any one branch in which combination might extend without con- travening the provisions of law.
 The earnings of the Steel corporation for the third quarter exceeded all expecta- tions. The character of the report was a. strong influence in bringing about a more cheerful feeling. Reports from the steel trade were more cheerful.
 Reasonable weather has stimulated business, especially in the west. The tendency to conservatism is still apparent
 The November money settlements re- suited in the advance of call money to 3 per cent for the first time since January The rates soon relaxed and discount rates abroad ran off in spite of the heavy de- hands there for the November settle pent
 settlement of the Moroccan question emphasized that tendency. It is not i'm probable that the conclusion of this. agreement will release large sums of money which have been hoarded in France S'hce the war scare, and that repayment to American lenders will follow.
 With the present ease of money here such move means little more than the prospect of piling up idle funds.

QUIET WEEK FOR COTTON PREDICTED Trade Waiting for Census
 Bureau Report TO , ADVANCE RATES By the First of the Week the Mar ket Will Be Flooded With Re- ports of What the Cold
 Spell Did
TO ADVANCE RATES

New Orleans, November 5.-The first part of this week in cotton promises to bc as quite as last week chiefly because the trade is waiting on the report ol the census bureau to the 10th. This re- port will be published at 9 o'clock tNew Orleans time) Wednesday morning.
 Thus far the market has not come 10 any very decided opinion as to what the figures will be, except, however, that they will be somewhere between 9,000,00l and 100000 bales. with sentiment favor ing the larger rather than the smaller amount.
 After the ginners' returns are known, the trade will be bound to pay special attention to the November spot demand. By that time there will be plenty of cp- portunity to find out if it is going 10 be larger than usual. November usually Is dead month similar to February, but the bulls have claimed much for it this fall, and it is said that freight engage ments are large enough to warrant the assertion that exports this month will be big.
 Apparently confirming this opinion is the rumor that ocean freight rates vii, shortly be advanced.
 By the first of the week the market will be flooded with reports of what the cold spell of the last week did but it Is hardly probable that these will affect prices to any great extent, although they ought to have steady influence on the whole.
 Cotton factors have reached the con clusion that this crop was too early to be injured seriously by cold weather At the same time the top crop in the mere northern portions of the belt was hir by frost and reports of this ought to have sentimental effect.
 The Chinese situation will be closely watched because of the many reports oi cancellation of orders of cloths by Chi nese importers. These cancellations it Is claimed by the bears, have become an items of importance to many southern mills as well as to the mills of Manca- shire and it will naturally be claimed that cancellations are on the increase if tho rebellion in China grows to larger proportions.
 Cables from Shanghai on the week end said that business in cloths was not good. Time is fast approaching when the more serious crop estimates will come out.
 The government estimate is less than a month away and by the end of this week private estimates ought to be made public. They have considerable influence one way or the other on the course of prices as proclaimed by the recent con ference held here.

THE COTTON GOODS MARKET IS ACTIVE Lower Prices Are a Stimu- lant to the Trade in
 Gray Goods

New York, November 5.-Trading in cotton goods is still moving along conservatively. Many of the large orders for the balance of the year.
 Lower prices are an effective stimu- p]ant of trade in gray goods and con- certers and printers have been c,l,-i ing contracts. Fall River sold 22O,. poo pieces of cloths during the week, Of which 14O,000 were for contracts or delivery. Several of the ccnverters have been placing contracts on spe- oialty cloths and the impression IS growing stronger that values are near or at the bottom on many staple num- bers.
 Jobbers are still out of the market for anything except goods required for immediate distribution but steadiness of filling in business causes the move inent of merchandise 10 assume very satisfactory proportions.
 Less complaint Is heard of the vol ume of business, but the margin of profit Is close. In fine and fancy cot tons duplicate orders for spring are coming along so slowly that some oi the specialties mill ars shutting down looms.
 On the other hand some of the heavy goods mills are steadily increasing their forward business. Far eastern trade is at a standstill but miscellan. eous buying for export is good. The resumption of operations by mills as whole has increased the de lnand for actual cotton and the per. sistence of resistance 10 further cot | ton declines is causing some buyers tc feel that cloth values will not go mucr lower for a time

Phrases and Their Use

From the London Chronicle.
 How is 1t that the phrase well alight," is used in all descriptions of disastrous fires; in the news items. in the underlines of illustrations. in the very report of the fremen to headquarters? Whence this suggestion of satisfaction? Does 1t come from some sympathy with the energy of fire, such as St. Francis of Assist con- fessed when he would not deprive the sjocund fire' of it's prey-his shirt: "Chaste water" 'jocund fire'-what a poet was that saint. by the way. But '.well alight' seems rather to have more obscure reference to some unsaintly pleas ure in tyranny. expressed also by the common phrase "a good whipping, "a good ducking." The latter savage Journ- alese is applied to i'll fed and Ill clad little boys when they go thr<~,gh the ice. We'll fed skaters sustain immersion

COUDREY ARRESTED ON FRAUD CHARGE Former Missouri Congress- man Used Mails to Pro-
 mote Business

New York, November 5,-(Special.)- l Harry Marcy Coudrey, democratic con- gressman from the Twelfth district of | Missouri until the last term, was ar rested in this city today by agents of the department of justice on an indictment returned against him and eight other of | Ecials of the Continental Life Assurance company and the International Fire As surance company by the St. Louis federal l grand jury, charging him with using the ! mails to defraud. He made no protest and said he would go back to Missouri at once.
 Coudrey until three weeks ago, was president of the Continental Life Assur- anco company and International Fire As- surance company of St. Louis. A move l rnent was then started by the govern Coudrey and eight other officials of the companies and plunged both into the hands of receivers.
 Coudrey has been missing since the ln- dictment and agents of the department have been searching the country for him. He had been in New York almost since he investigation started, and was stop plLg at the Piedmont hotel in West Thir- tN third street
 Harry Marcy Coudrey is one of the best known men in St. Louis, is a member of dozen clubs and generally regarded as a millionaire. He was elected to Congress in 1905, but was not seated until the close of the first session because of an en- tanslement in the counting of votes He was elected again in 1907 and again in 1909, finishing his term last March. He size of women's hat pins in the District of Columbia and also introduced bill which called for a fine of $50 for the own- CTS of public clocks which did not keep correct time.
 Among other things that are charged against Coudrey, according to the depart ment of justice, is that while a member Of Congress he promoted various busi- ness schemes, using the letter pad of the House of Representatives and other sta tiohery of tine government. It is charged by the department of justice that he used the congressional office building as an office to carry on the business in N Inch he was interested.
 When the investigation began in St. Louis into Coudrys connection with the Continental Life Assurance company it is said by the department of justice that he was promoting a concern known as the Lincoln National Holding company, which was to be capitalized at $15, ,00O, GOO.

The Prophet and the Auto

From the Paris (Mo) Appeal
 Another reason that the automobile is
 with us, Joshua, is that the scripture
 might be fulfilled. Something like 25o0 years ago when our ancestors were wear ing whiskers and skins and fighting fof existence among the wild animals of northern Europe, d gentleman by the rame of Nahum, who had contracted the habit of seeing things and writing books, looked down through the long vista of years to our strenuous day and saw these buzz wagons that are astonishing our
 Monroe county mules into climbing tele-
 phone poles. If you don't believe it bor- how Bible from your neighbor, turn ia
 the second chapter of Nahum and locate the fourth verse, and see if it doesn't read nke this: "The chariots shall race fin the | streets, they shall jostle one another in the broad way. they shall seem like torches; they shall run like lightning"

A Fly Sent Them to Jail

From the New York Evening Mail.
 Chicago-An ordinary housefiy caused four men to be locked up in the Cook county jail for treason. So Police Jus- tice John R. Mcdonnell of the village of Lyons says.
 The justice was summoned to appear before the county court and explain why he sentenced four men for treason in heu of fines. The offense classed as treason was cutting of some branches from drain age canal trees.
 He studied the statutes and found that section 269 related to cutting down trees. while section 264 on the same page re- lated to punishment for treason. Then he remembered that while mak- ing out the mittimus fly lit on his nose. His explanation Is that while brushing it away he placed his finger back on the wrong section and entered the wrong number on the mittimus.

Fr0n the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 A Los Angeles woman admits that she has received PIP proposals of marriage and of course no man should doubt the assertion. It may be different with Inc gentler and less susceptible sex however
 --s the average number of proposals e. oe.ved by the women of this nation is a traction less than one. no such overplu. of good fortune will be admitted witnou, a large amount of guaranteed proof.
 The first demand will be for the vo,,np woman's portrait and single glance can be counted on to prove sufficient

 But wait.
