New York, Nov. IL-Wise technical
traders Of the conservative East had To
pay tribute In Wall Street today to, buoy
ant bulls Of the wealthy West The boom
IN stock came from the same place that
gave Democratic President to the coun-
try. Wall Street made wry faces, but
after trying for more than four hours
to stop the advance finally surrendered
and became even more bullish than the
West 1t was a day of great surprises
and Of numerous high records.
So bewildered did Wall Street become,
and especially members of the New York
Stock Exchange, that dump was taken
seriously. which some jokers started, to
the effect that Hughes was gaining rap
idly in California and would win with
several hundred votes to spare. Thou
sands Of telephone calls were received in
brokers' Offices inquiring as to the truth
of the report.
OF stocks to make a new high record
today the most important were Atlantic

York Air Brake, Lackawanna Steel,

Maxwell Company that It had covered
its requirements for raw material up to

alto is still under influence Of the cam

Cotton's advance was due partly to an
nOuncement by the government that ex-
ports this season have been q per cent
in excess Of last season for the same
period. Traders IN commodities are talk
ing Of 81 corn, $3.50 wheat and 30-cent cot
