ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHI

NEW YORK. Oct 21-Stocks rose buoyantly today. Not for weeks has the street seen such an outburst of strength. The leading shares gained from two to four points, with atl- Yances as much as eight points in some cases. The amount of business t1 the first hours of trading was nearly as great in total as yesterdays entire session. It was a bad day for the bears. Short covering was re- sponsible for the heaviest buying, es- pecially in Steel and Union Pacific. sharp rise in American stock in London gave the market it's first impulse upward. The upward move ment was accelerated by news from Washington that the interstate com increase in certain freight rates in the Missouri river district.
 The reports from Washington of important amendments to be made to the currency bill affecting the pro- visions which have met the hardest opposition, also helped to stimulate the market. Increased speculative activities were facilitated by the con- ditions of the money market
 Bonds showed a general strength with good inquiry for some low price issues. Total sales represented a par value of $2,000,0O0. United States twos advanced a half, fours a quar- ter and Panama tWos one point on cvall.

 Extorting Money
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Chemfsts em- ployed by the postal authorities dis covered today colonies of germs in a letter sent to extort money from Mrs. Frederick Steele, a wealthy su- burban resident.

Every member of the company comes in for a share of the applause and each one seems well suited to the role he essays.

Fifty operatives will be idle during

The blaze starting from some UNI

Explosions of gas and steam were

Water Issuing from sprinklers was
