 Associated Press Financial Editor
 New York. Oct. 26 R-The stock market displayed . firm undertone today in the face of 2 recurrence of 8 per cent call money and an in- crease of $107.00O.000 in brokers loans. Buying was again rather selective in character, but . long list of merchandising, copper. pub lie utility and aeronautical issues registered substantial gains, several of which ran from to 12 1-4 points. Weekend profit taking was again rather heavy but, with few exceptions. the declines were held to from to 3 points.
 Call money renewed at 1-2. but advanced to s as banks called $20.- 100000 in loans. Wall Street found some comfort, however, in the re- cent reassuring statements on the soundness of credit conditions by Charles E. Mitchell and other lead ing bankers. Except for the usual month-end firming up of money rates, bankers generally look for relatively easy monetary conditions for the rest of the year.
 Considerable stress was laid in commission house commend on the excellent character of . large majority of the earnings reports now being publihsed. This, togeth- CT with the fact that no signs of any marked recession have yet de- veloped in any of the basic indus tries. helped to maintain bullish en- thusiasm.

PEGGY JOYCE NAY
 MARRY ONCE MORE
Fifth Romalcs Budding With Edinburgh Nlorce of Northek

New York, Oct. 1s (UP)-Peggy Hopkins Joyce's fifth great romance seemed a-budding today after news came from Edinburgh that Lord David Northesk and his American wife. the former Jessica Brown of the Follies, had been divorced.
 The lovely Peexy-who four times has been married and divorced didn't want to be bothered by tele- phone calls so early in the morning but Lord David. who accompanied her from Europe recently. was willing te chat.
 He was told of the divorce his wife had obtained.
 Thank you." he repAed.
 Hopes She'll Wed Him
 He was asked whether he was going to marry Peggy.
 That is for Miss Joyce to say" he replied. Then after q minutes thought he answered:
 ''I hope she will marry me-"
 Peggy's romances have delighted the American reading public. By the time she was 25 years old she had married three millionaires.
 She was Marguerite Upton. When IT she met and was wooed by David Archer. a Denver millionaire. They eloped to Maryland. The marriage lasted six months.
 In 1913 she eloped with Sher- burne Phillbrick Hopkins. jr. . wealthy lawyer of Washington. That marriage lasted two years.
 In 1919 she met J. Stanley Joyce. Chicago lumber millionaire.
 He proposed the first night he met me-" Peggy said later. She told of the lovely gifts he had given her. but Peggy was dissatisfied.
 He wanted to show me on-to put me on parade" she remarked. "He wanted the world to be his doll house and he wanted to make me the doll"
 January q. 1920. they were di- vorced.
 Then she met Count Costa Morner de Moreland. 8 Chicago tooth paste manufacturer. Peggy was then playing in the "Vanities" and the pobleman's wooing was so ardent they were married in Atlantic City in June. 1924. Peggy got, her d. vorce from him in Paris in 1925. ;:
 Always Peggy said "never again.
 Relents Once More
 She relented no so long ago and said she wanted to be real wife, to have a home and to be happy. Rumors flew. :
 Half a dozen men were mentioned but Peggy shook her head.
 Last summer at Deauville Peggy and Lord Northesk were familiar figures on the sands Of the great so- cial gathering place. They wouldn't comment about reports they were to be married although it was known that Jessica Brown, the Lady North esk. was suing for divorce in Edin- .burgh.
 Lord David and Peggy came to New York together where both were a bit demure about the reports of their marriage.
 Then came the divorce today and Lord Davt's statement he wanted to marry the beautiful blond Peggy. This in spite of the fact that Lord David once said after he married Jessia Brown:
 T do not belie' marriage be- tween English and American Is the best thing. for the simple reason that our attitude on life is differ ent"
