The flood gates of apecutatiun staggering under the load of swollen streams of buying orders, pouring from all sec tions of the country burst upon tho floor of. the New York stock exchange today and swept prices upward in one of the wildest sessions witnessed in recent years. The deluge reached Its maximum Intensity In motor stocks, which were whirled upward one to seven points on sules running Into the hundreds of thousands of shares. Total transactions of nil stocks In the first hour probably ran over 700,000 Khar en, with the official ticker at least eight minutes behind tho mar ket, The decline came with unexpected suddenness around the end of the first hour. Floor traders, aensing that the buying power wns showing signs of exhitusthm, suddenly threw tens of thousands of shares into -the market' which wns unable to absorb them, ex cept at material concessions in quoted vslties. The tape was so far behind the market that many stocks were setting one to three points below prices ap pearing upon the ticker hefore the hundreds of customers, crowding the larger commission houses realized (hat the break had come. Many of them were punlc-strleken nnd threw stocks overboard In n nmd scramble to get out of the market at any price.

Fifty-one anxious men have thua far offered themselves to play the husband role for the mysterious "Jordan" who ad vertised in the Capital Journal that to comply with requirements of a will and secure an estate she will pay t-t00 for a man to wed her in name only, the marriage bonds to be severed In four months. From as far east as Cincinnati and Milwaukee, and as far south as Bis bee, Ariz., rush telegrams have come from individuals offering their ser vices. O. Moore, Hlsnee, Artie., tele graphed "If husband still vantedv wire me." Tie sent the telegram rol leet with a forty-eight cent charge on it, presumably to come out of the $400 when he . collects It.
