ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
Denies That He is a Delegate to the
Peace Conference.

Rome, Jan. 30.-Archbishop Ireland
went to the vatican today. where he
had a conference with Cardinal Ram
polla. papal secretary of state. Many
cardinals and other high ecclesiastics
visited the archbishop at the Hotel
Bristol, where he is staying.
In the course of an interview he de-
clared that there was absolutely no
foundation for the statement that he
had been charged to represent the
United States at the forthcoming con-
ference regarding the limitation of ar
maments. The United States, he said,
had not yet nominated a delegate.
The archbishop was very reserved in
his replies to questions respecting re-
lgious problems in America the
ground that it was necessary for him to
wait for the Holy See to pass upon such
matters.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
Disturbed Foreign Markets Cause q
nFeak in Prices.

New York Oct 3.--The disturbed condi-
ton Of the foreign markets for securities
and the upward tendency of foreign dis
counts caused break in prices at the
opening Of The Stock Exchange here. The
selling movement was quite active in the
first hour. and low prices for the day i'm
the majority of stocks were made in that
Time. There was some pressure later i'm
the day IN obscure quarters Of the stock
list. But prices generally were better by
the end of the first hour.
In the latter part of the day the small
volume Of offerings invited the bidding up
OF prices. The level OF many stocks were
carried above that OF last night both in
The railroads and industrial department.
No large offerings were brought out by
the advance, and even the violent upward
leap in the money rate 10 10 per cent after
2 O'Clock caused only slight setback in
prices. They hardened again. and the
closing was very firm in an almost stag
nant market, and only slightly below th5
best Of The day There Is a very fair mix
ture OF net gains throughout the list. The
stock market was strikingly Indifferent to
the gyrations.
There was considerable calling of loans
in the early hours by national banks.
whose reserves are below the legal limit.
But the money rate did not get above 20
per cent during this period, and at the
opening loaned at 6 per cent. Before the
afternoon furry il had fallen back again
20 per cent II was after O'Clock when
the rate got to 20 per cent, and then
dropped back again before the close The
urgent demand for money seems confined
10 the Stock Exchange. and the small dis
bursements created by to-day's high rate
indicates narrow limits of need there.
Time loans, though they do not respond to
the high rates for call loans, are not Of
fefed IN large volume Call loan rates at
neiehboring financial centers showed some
disposition to advance to-day. But the
severe stringency seems confined to New
York, and TO a narrow speculative circle
IN the stock market. There Is no evidence
as YET Of any disturbance Of the course
Of general business for lack OF money.
The action OF the London and Berlin
money markets to-day and weekly return
Of the Imperial Bank OF Germany Indicate
an urgent need for money there. Obvious

news depicted pronounced weakness In the
English market our market responded
at the opening with a drop of to -
points, The decline uncovered numerous
limited buying orders ana a ful-nedged
BUN movement soon supplanted the initial
weakness. Prices jumped to a level of a
point or so above the c.ose Of last night,

was period of recuperation. but the mar
