WorldCom's bid for MCI got the market's motor running early this morning, and word that manufacturing activity fell in September - suggesting that inflation will remain tame - kept things going through the afteroon. The Dow rose 69.99, to 8015.25; the Nasdaq climbed 4.61 to 1690.30. MCI (up big) and WorldCom (down modestly) were far and away the two most active issues.
