 MansWOrth.

During a hearing In probate court yesterday regarding the disposition of sS,900 of the estate of the late Edward Mansworth, it was neces- sary for Judge B. F. Gaffney to call for an adjournment when Mrs. Elizabeth Mansworth, against whom the petition was brought by her son, Edward Mansworth, nearly col lapsed.
 Mansworth, as executor of the estate of his uncle, asked that money in the bank, claimed by his mother, be admitted in the estate. Mrs. Mansworth claimed that the bank account was held jointly by her brother-in -in-law and herself and that, at his death, the money be- came hers.
 In hearings of this type the judge of probate acts as an umpire, those presenting the petition being at lib- erty to bring witnesses into the court and question them. No action is taken by the judge. If those spon- scring the move see fit, they may bring a civil suit in the superior court.

PRICES CONTINUE
 RISE ON MARKET
Call Money Rate Cut Stimulates
 the Recovery

New York, Nov 1 CF-Construc-
 tive forces were again at work in to- days stock market which forged steadily upward under the leader
 ship Of high priced industrials. Soft
 spots cropped out here and there but
 they were disregarded. Lowering of
 the call money rate from to 3 1-2
 per cent stimulated the recovery,
 which was featured by active short
 covering operations in number of recently weak specialties.
 Temporary weakness Of the rub
 Der shares was due to the lowering
 of certain tire prices by one Of the
 leading manufacturers. Special strength Of Marine preferred was as sociat,I with reports that the com-
 pany would be liquidated as a re-
 suit of the adverse curt decision
 on the proposed apitalization
 plan. Directors of the Brown Shoe
 company raised the annual dividend from g to s25o.
 The general rise in prices today
 was not associated with any special developments in a correction of a temporary over-sold condition. Spec ulative opinion is still sharply divid- ed over the future trend of prices. which probably will depend chiefly upon the course of trade and crops. within the next few weeks.
 Pivotal industrials, such as '. s.
 Steel common, General Motors, Gen. eral Electric and American Smelt- ing, and leading rails such as New York Central and C. & O., took q prominent part In the upturn. Wide fluctuations again characterized the
