BERLIN, March @.-The bourse wore a
holiday aspect during the past week and
there were Few transactions, but quotations
were mostly well maintained. The market
builds great hopes upon the successful
outcome OF the peace negotiations in South
Africa and yesterdays strong Kafhr market
In Paris reacted favorably here.
Irons were from ! to 8 points higher. Coal
shares were likewise several points up,
Notwithstanding the fact that trouble is
brewing between the coal syndicate and
several members Of that organization,
which threatens the partial dissolution OF
the syndicate, and that coal operatives con-
apparently not yet recovered from the ef-
tects OF the crisis. II now transpires that
the Siegen Pig Iron syndicate voted March
70 TO increase the restriction of the output
10 80 per cent and that one OF the furnaces
there .dampened its fires because of the lack
of orders.
The directors OF the North German Lloyd
steamship company have voted to increase
the company's capital by 10000, 600 marks,
The f~rankfurter Zeitung declares this I'm
crease to be in addition to the increase OF
100000 marks voted one year ago, but
which has not yet been issued. This total
Increase of 20,000,O00 marks brings the cap
ital OF the North German Lloyd company
up to 10000, 600 marks, or equal to that OF

LONDON LOOKS TO AFRICA
Stock Exchange I'm Tentative Condi-
ton Pending Developments
for or Against Peace.

LONDON, March S0.-The knowledge that
the Easter holidays would close the Lon
don Stock exchange for four lays from
last Thursday, had a SOLDERING effect on
What doubtless would have been a decided
outburst of activity when the unexpected
esumptlo OF peace negotiations was an
nounced last week. As a result of this
condition the enthusiasm with which the
news from South Africa was received spent
itself in two days and the remainder OF the
week was given to adjusting, accounts
against possible contingencies before the
reopening of the exchange April 2.
,Ihe cheerfulness over the South African
situation resulted, however, in substantial
advances In home rails, consols and Kaffirs.
The, general situation of the South African
section was little affected by the death of
Cecil Rhodes. Americans were quiet but
cheerful. Money remains scarce, thus dis
couraging speculation, but the large gov
eminent disbursements at the end of this
week promise temporary relief. Conse-
quently there Is q prospect of a consider
able broadening of the market after Eas-
ter. 1t is thought that the chancellor of
the eXchequer will avail himself of that
situation to submit a new ioan, which. as
Stunning that the war continues, cannot be
less than R50.0O0,000. 1t is also quite certain
unless the peace negotiations are success
ful, which few people dare hope, that the
chancellor must fix the price of issue for
the new loan at a much lower rate than
that of previous loans.

MANILA BANKS KEEP GOLD
Refuse to Sell Large Quantitie. Re-
cause of Scarcity of Yellow
Coin,

MANILA, March 3O.-The United States
Philippines commission yesterday fixed the
government rate of exchange for silver for
the second. quarter of this year at 81. d
Mexican silver for one gold dollar. The
rate OF exchange yesterday at the banks
was VIZ Mexican for one gold dollar, but
the banks refused to sell gold In large
quantities, not having sufficient coin TO do
SO. The banks have notified the quarter
masters department that IL is impossible
Tor them to cash quartermasters' checks,
The scarcity OF American money is attrib-
uted partly to the banks and largely to
Chinese SPECTATORS, who always buy Amer
lean gold at a quotation 2 points higher
than the bank rate. This action OF the
commission in making the government rate
higher than the bank rate OF exchange has
created much discomfort among importers.
They are unable to obtain SUFFICIENT gold
to pay import duties, and must conse-
quently pay these duties in silver at the
government rate of 1921.
The employees of the civil government are
elated at the new rate of exchange. as IL
means a considerable increase In their
salaries. 1t is the intention of the com
mission to e%ndeavor to obtain the gold i'm
the archipelago. The bankers of Manila
say that the monetary situation IN the
Philippines, cannot be helped by govern
mental action, and that a region as i'm
portant commercially as the Philippine
archipelago must affect the worlds mar
kets.

KANSAS, CITY, March So-Most of the

Grand american handicap live bird tourna-
ment at Blue River park In this city are
here tonight. Delegations rave arrived on
every train during. the last twenty-four
hours. Among the large delegations today
were $50 wing shots from Chicago, who
came in-this evening on the Rice special"
Nearly all of the prominent wing shots
in the United States will participate in the
big shoot this year. Many who are here
have participated in every Grand American
handicap since this annual shooting event
was inaugurated. The unprecedented entry
list brings to the 'front.' many aspirants for
wing shot honors who have never been
heard of before. Manager Shaner, who
has managed every Grand American handi-
cap since 1898. says that almost half Of
those entered are strangers to him..
The preliminary events Will be the Kan
sas City sweepstakes at twelve birds, to be
shot from the thirty-yard mark, and which
will take place tomorrow morning, and the
Nitro Powder handicap, at sixteen birds,
on Tuesday. The handicap in the latter
will be the same as that in the Grand

FATTENING A MOORISH BRIDE,
Quaint Preparations for the wedding
Celebration.


The moment a Moorish maiden is en-
gagged 1t is the bounden duty Of her parents
to fatten her up like a lamb for sacrifice.
And this is where man intervenes to thwart
the plans OF nature. The male Is generally
slim, wiry, sinewy, all bone, muscles and
thews. and he likes his mate to be as com
plete a contrast to himself as possible, says
an exchange.
So she has to train for 1t, and persevere
until she becomes a woman OF four dimen-
sions, an unwieldly bolster OF solid flesh,
wherein the soul is entombed forever. Every
morning she takes the soft part Of her
wheaton bread and rolls It into long round
pieces about twice the length of her little
finger and of the girth OF her thumb.
After each meal she eats three or four
Of these. gradually increasing the dose. A
frst, while the spirit is willing and the flesh
still weak. she is allowed to wash them down
with milk or green tea. Later on liquids
are tabooed. Most girls manage in time
to put away fifty or sixty OF these aids TO
obesity every day. BY the time the wedding
day comes around the brides have wholly
lost their slimness. and after a few years
they have irretrievably forfeited the female
form divine, and resemble huge sacks Of
down.
One OF these ladies having emigrated to
Spain, her friends there had to have a huge
crescent hewn out Of the dinner table to
accommodate her. In Morocco tables are
not yet the fashion, no more than knives
and forks.

Thus Far h Canadian Finds No

There are on record many Instances Of

with a laughingvtace, and thought she'd do.
l did not know how to go about getting her
interested in me-. but Just spoke a word or
two with her and when we came out into

her a kiss.
Says she. How dare your Says I, Il

she says laughing, why, l don't know you
No more do I you, my DEAR says /, so

know how to put a stopper on that, so she
only laughed and said she could not think
of it. Not think Of 1t, says I, artful like,
not when you've come all those thousands
of miles for the purpose?'
What do you meau?' says she, starting.

it's to get work; when a woman emigrates
it's to get married. You may as we'll admit
it at once
We'll, she protested and held off a bit, but
we were married two days after and
guess neither Of us have been sorry for It
since. You see It was my knowing the

Ex-Governor Grows Certain of Victory Over

LATTER DOES NOT coNcEDE HIS DEFEAT
Estimates Give Clarke Twelve Ma
jOrity I'm Joint Legislative Ballot,
but Jones Claims linz
proved Outlook.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March SO.-Ad-
ditional returns from a majority Of the
counties Indicate a victory for Ex-Governor
James p. Clarke for United States sena-
tor over Senator James K. Jones. though
his majority on joint ballot probably will
not exceed twelve.
Complete returns are not yet in and
In several Of the large counties the vote is
so close that the official count is awaited.
Senator Jones will not concede Clarke's
victory.
He left this afternoon for his home in
Hampstead county, but his headquarters
remain open. At Clarke's headquarters 1t
is declared the contest is settled in Clarke's
favor, the only question being as to the
size OF the majority. There are about ten
counties which cannot be heard from yet
owing to no wire connection. Partial re-
turns tend to show that Jones has lost How
and and Nevada counties, adjoining his
home county. He has lost Union and
ouachita counties. both in south Arkansas.
Jones Won't Give Up.
At Senator Jones' headquarters it is said
that he is satisfied with the reports re-
ceived here today. Instead of conceding
his defeat, as has been widely circulated,
he feels that the situation has materially
improved. His representatives allege that
they have received defnite Information
from f~orty-three counties, twenty-seven Of
which have been carried by lin. OF the
remaining number they expect Senator
Jones to carry at least twenty, insuring him
between So and 80 votes on Joint ballot, 67
being necessary for a choice.
So far as definitely reported Governor
Davis has carried two-thirds of the coun-
ties against Colonel Z. w. Rector for the
gubernatorial nomination.
The latest reports tonight indicate that
the following congressman have been nomi-
mated:
