STOCKS IN RALLY /
ON EASIER MONEY
Drop to 5 Per Cent Rate
Marked by Resumption
of BuIIiSh Drive.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.


NEW YORK, October s.-Frequent
f1urries of selling swept through to-
days stock market, indicating the
nervousness of professional traders over
the possibility of a secondary reaction,
but a drop in the call money rate from
6 to 5 per cent, the lowest official rate
since August II, 1928, revived specula-
tive confidence. and brisk rally got
under way in the early afternoon.
Early selling was based on fears that
the recent revival of bullish activity
would place a further strain on the
credit situation, but the drop in the cali
rate, accompanied by further easing
of time loans, stimulated a resumption
OF operations for the advance Wide
guesses are being made on the Federal
Reserve brokers loan statement this
week, with the majority of observers
looking for decrease of between $780,
100000 and $200,0O0,00O.
The days business news was mixed
In character. Iron Age reported that
steel production has declined further,
but developments of the week lend sup
port to the belief that the low point in
demand may have been passed"
Opening Is Lower.
Prices were irregularly lower at the
opening, when selling pressure was re-
newed against several of the high
priced specialtieS. Westinghouse Elec-
trio dropped ga points, American In
ternational and Sears-Roebuck, st.
Paul common, Montgomery Ward,
Studebaker, American & Foreign Power
Otis Steel and National Lead yielded a
point or more. st. Louis Southwestern
jumped 3la points and Erie and Inter
national Telephone advanced a point
each.
Except for the announcement of new
financing by the Texas and Pennroad
corporations, there was little in the
overnight news to influence the price
movement. Some of the commission
house letters suggested that the recent
advance had been too rapid, and tina,
the market was again in a weakened
technical position. while others called
attention to the possibility of disap-
pointing brokers loan statement on
Thursday.
Early selling was most effective in
the electrical equipment and public
utility issues. Westinghouse Electric
and American & Foreign Power ex-
tended their declines to more than 4
points: American Water Works drop
ped 2s4 and Columbia Gas 2. Heavi-
ness also cropped out in Texas Corpo-
ration, Standard Oil of California. Al
lied Chemical New York Central,
American Telephone and General Elec-
trio.
Specialties Advance.
Pool operations we're resumed in sew
eral specialties. Commercial Solvents
ran up more than 10 points to $685.,
and the American Tobacco issues, which
were heavy yesterday, quickly rallied
about points each. American Type
Founders advanced 81 points in the
first half hour and Standard Gas 6,
Electric, May Department Stores, Best
& Co. and Otis Elevator sold or more
points higher Electric Storage Battery
and Warren Bros. moved into new high
ground.

He said that 1.-The changes in the
American banking sentiment in the last
three years mark the greatest transition
in the history of banking psychology in
our own and in any other country" He
traced these changes from the time that
American banks were set up in indie
pendent units to the development of
the consolidation of numbers of ma
tional banks with the State banks pos
sessing numerous branches and then
the more recent trend of chain banks
whose affiliated institutions spread
across State lines and, in one or two
instances, across the country from coast
to coast" According to Mr.. Traylor,
only time alone will determine whether
the present tendencies ARE designed to
improve general banking conditions"

Grenofen and SomerfieId learn the reck- less gambler of Ostend and his companion were the men con victed in the Dover affair Pell and the pseudo Cousin John. They return to England and find Laxton perturbed- Marling has flown. But Laxton has discovered that PelPs real name was P. E.

Laxton, con- vinced that the escaped con- vict, PelPs "ghost," holds the key to the Pell enigma, asks Grcnofen to write Veronica, a request to inform Cousin John that all charges against him will be dropped if he returns to England. Then Laxton huris an unexplained bOmb-sheii- the ghost at the keyhOle was not involved in the murder Of Pell.

I walked to Hollam Bay. I en- gagged a big car to bring us back. The train came in at last. And Veronica shot out of carriage into my arms. That is to say l had held out my arms to take her hand luggage and in my eagerness had included her with it.
 Hello, Veronical" said I, holding her for three seconds.
 Hello, Tom!' said she, not wrenching herself away with any great violence.
 Afterwards we agreed that this was my formal proposal and her ! formal acceptance. Out of the carriage behind hel stepped Miss Vandenessen. raised my hat to her.
 "We've met before" I said. Veronica stared at me incredu- lously. Then she burst into laugh ter.

added words of my own which had nothing to do with LaXton's mes sage.
 "Now,' said Laxton, T want the black bag!"
 "You can't have it." I replied. "It's burnt. It was burning in the garden while Hallett hunted in the safe"
 And the contents-carried away under Hallets nose by MT. Somer- field. l hope it's hidden in a dry placer"
 Why, professor? Rust won't cor rupt that stuff," said Somerfield.
 You said something like that t Bruges," Laxton remarked. What stuff"
 We gave him sketchy inventory of the treasure. Laxton was a hard man to startle, but that gave him a shock
 You didn't know about it?" l asked.
 About it-yes, in a general way. But that it was in the black bag no. I expected to find set or tools and an old book"
 We told him they were also in- cluded in the collection.
 "The book" said I-"well, your friend Hallett overlooked it in my bedside library. I'll go and get it.
 Laxton was still shaking his head when I returned and handed him the manuscript of Abbot John Dea- con in the binding that had oe- longed to Sheldon.
 Here's the whole thing" said Laxton, tapping the book. Heres the cause why Pell and his friend went to prison, why Pell was killed and why we've all been gropine about in the dark for two or three weeks"
 How do you make that?" asked Somerfield.

 It seemed a strange request, but what happened when we fulfilled it was stranger. Somerfield and I paid an unobtrusiye visit to the wood and came back with camera lease. LaXton was waiting for us in the road with spade under one arm and a package under the other. He led us under the wall of Newplace to the little tourelle.
 Same program, MT. Grenofen, , he said. And same silence" | A quarter of an hour later, we stood in MT. Fotherbury's diggings near the place where the "fresco'' had been found. And in half an hour from the time when we got over the wall the contents of Lax tons package were neatly buried among the debris of the excava- tions. Laxton then led us back 1 by way of the cloister. He paused there and made little sound "Sst!"
 A shadow detached itself from the shadows and approached us.
 Nothing doing tonight, HallettP said Laxton in a whisper. All o. K.," said the shadow.

 Where are we going?" asked Veronica, when I had them both settled in the car. "Woodcot first? Oh, how lovely!"
 "Woodcot first and last" said l. where else?"
 well, Woodcot first anyhow. Af- ter-we'Il talk about it."
 Miss Vandenessen was a differ ent creature from the puzzled and anxious school teacher had seen for few minutes in the Rue de la Grenelle. A beauty, indeed,-rather oueenly in striking contrast with Veronica's impish attractiveness.
 Veronica did not give her much time to study scenery.

 During the afternoon I got two minutes alone with Veronica. We sat on the garden seat behind the hedge of escallonia.
 I turned and Veronica was look ing me straight in the eyes, and those blue ones of hers were full of dancing lights and a little smile was on her face.
