NEW YORK, November 27.-Wall
Street came down to business follow
ing the Thanksgiving holiday in a
highly optimistic frame of mind. The
action of the New York Federal Re-
serve Bank directorate and that Of the
Bank of England in maintaining the
rediscount rates of 312 and 4 per cent
respectively, was a source of encour-
aeement for the speculative element
working on the side of higher prices
and operations were resumed with re-
neved confidence as trading started.

at the Onwentsia Club with the

In the program of the national
open event of the United States
Golf Association the above men,
toned provision is made for qualify
ing, and 1t will be interesting to
see how many of the professionals
and leading amateurs will take
advantage of the opportunity. In
asmuch as only ninety, and those
tied for last places, will be allowed
to play in the championship pro-

the qualifying pace will be terrific
