 day at 90. Late in the morning there
 was quite an inquiry for stock and
 all that was offered at that price was
 bought and taken out of the market.
 The opening on Monday was wild, 1O5
 being freely bid and sales started at
 that price and stock rapidly advanced
 to 115, with reported sales as high as
 l25. This was too fast to last and
 quite a little stock was put on the market and stock reacted during the
 week to 100. At this point buying or ders came in again and advanced the stock into the neighborhood of 1O5. The market closed today 1O4 bid, 106 asked. Union Manufacturing com pany sold as high as 40 and reacted to 125 and is now quoted 12S bid, 132 asked.

American Brass has sold from 375 to 37S ex the November 18th dividend of five per cent. We believe that this stock is in line for further advance. At present prices the stock carries the five per cent. dividend payable the last of De- cember to stockholders of record Mo- vembcr 3Oth. Colts Arms remains quiet at SS0 bid, s9O asked Bristol Brass has been very active during the whole of the week, with sales ranging from S7 to 93. The market closed today 91 bid, 921a asked.

Former German Attache At Washing ton Is Now Amba ssador to

(CCrreSpondence of the Asso. Press
 The Hague, Netherlands, Oct. 21.- Doctor Richard von Kuhlmann, who since the outbreak of the war was at tached for a short time to the Ger man embassy in Washington and has as minister at The Hague, is leaving shortly to take up his new appoint ment as ambassador in Constanti- nople during the absence of Count Wolff Meternich lon urgent private business"
 pr. von Kuhlmann, who is in his fortyfourth year, Is said to enjoy high favor with the emperor and his promotion to this important post tes- tifies equally to satisfaction influ- ence on the economic policy followed and to the high esteem in which his abilities are held in Berlin.
 Curiously he was born in the Turk ish capital, his father having been general director of the Anatolian rail- ways, and he has an intimate knowl- edge of. eastern affairs. The "absence" of Count Wolff Metternich is likely to be permanent; the count has now reached his siXty-third year and served for thirty-four years in the German diplomatic corps.
 Doctor von Kuhlmann's successor at the Dutch court is Doctor Friedrich Rosen, who has represented Germany success;ve1y in Abyssinia, at the court of King Menelik Tangers Teheran Bucharest and lastly, Lisbon. He it was who, with the eX-French gover- nor general of Algiers, M. Revolt helped to lay the foundations TOT the Algeciras conference.
