STOCKS ON TOBOGGAN
The Distrust Of the Market "Ensenderee
Last Week Is Kept Up--Whole
List Goes OF

New York, March Stocks broke
badly today on a heavy o~utpouring Of
liquidation from all quarters. There
was a we'll centered zeal attack on a
humble of stocks which have become
Vulnerable by the building up of ex-
tenSive pool accounts and manipula-
ton in the market.
! Dissatisfaction with the outlook, con-
tinued withdrawal Of banking reserves
and the necessity for scaling down
credit accounts to keep pace with de-
clinlng reserves were responsible for
most Of the selling.
Unstable condition in stocks which
developed last week u wide
spread distrust and was the cause for
sending out calls for large additional
margins o speculative holdings. Fail
ure to respond to these induced the
throwing over of ON holdings by
commission houses. The offering down
of the prices by bears had the effect of
~exhausting margins and ~uncovering
3,op loss orders. The weight upon the
market was thus increased.
Whole List Is OF.
Lenders of honey also exercised in
creasing discrimination against some
stocks whose market position was dis
trusted when they appeared in collat-
eral for loans.
Reading was especially weak and fell
nearly 6 points below Saturday. North
western went down 6 points; Northern
Pacific and Amalgamated Copper
showed q loss: Sheffield Steel went off
ga to az. Colorado Fuel AZ, and St.
Paul, Union Pacific, Illinois Central.
Delaware and Hudson, Atlantic Coast
Line. Smelling. General Electric, Hide
and Leather preferred and some others
dropped 2 to 2&.
The average level in the whole list
yielded between I and 2 points. Occa-
sional rallies in the market were due
TO hasty profit taking by bears buying
60 cover shorts.
Liquidation continued intermittently
in the afternoon at the extreme decline
in Reading of over 8 points. Anaconda
was carried down 1914. The market
was quiet and showed evidence of re-
turning strength in the latter part Of
the day.

CLAIM FIELDS WEALTH.
Swiss Family Wants to Share in, Mer.,
chants Estate.

Geneva, March Careful Inquiries
concerning the claim made by a Swiss
family to Marshall Fields millions
show people named Marschall, living at
Sion. first approached the authorities
of the canton of Valaiscen on the sub
feet, and now the Swiss representative
at Washington has been instructed to
prosecute inquiries.
The Marschalls base their claims on
the fact that Friedehn M~arschall,. their
father. had an uncle, born in 1861. who
in 1851 left Switzerland and took a sit
uation as interpreter of a transatlantic
liner. He eventually became a specu-
lator In wheat and "a not been heard
Of since until the newspapers an
nounced the m~illionaire's death.
The Marschalls considered that
Fields earlier history tailed with that
OF the emigrant Of 1861.
Frfdehn Marschall. who was q shoe
maker and music COPPER, was killed in
1894 by the explosion Of a paraf1ns
lamp and left a large family. The,
claimants are miserably poor.

London Court Says Misrepre'
sentation In Whisky Trade
Is Increasing.
STIRRED UP
Output of Whisky in Scotland Is &c,
100000 Gallons, and Point Raised
Is of ~Stupendous Importance
to the Producers.

London. March IA long trial was
held at a North London police court to
decide what whisky is. A long array
of Scottish inc Irish experts We're ex-
Fordham has stirred especially the
Scotch whisky trade to it's depths.
Fordham decided that while pot still
whisky is real whisky, the patent still
spirit, of which some blends are large
ly composed, is not whisky. Fordham,
in giving the results Of his personal
experiences as a judicial whisky faster,
said:
"I find that the medicinal properties
of patent still whisky are not so great
as pot still, and they differ In contents,
flavor and scents.
Fraud on Increase.
Misrepresentation in the Irish and
Scotch whisky trade has greatly in
creased during the last few years, SO
much so that as shown in this case the
public gets the patent still spirit with
h dash Of whisky thrown in to give it
the name.
at is time his fraud upon the public
in the matter of whisky was stopped.
and no doubt. though this has been q
costly prosecution, the result will be
valuable. The prosecution was in ev-
cry way justif1able. Blenders a talk
EN- upon themselves to issue to the pub
lie a new raw patent still spirit with
a dash of the old pot still, and called
it whisky pot still. Distillers of the
Highlands are jubilant, but h Edin-
burgh blenders are most indignant. ar
guing tina it IS impossible that a stroke
Of q magistrates pen should deprive
of It's name an article which for sixty
years has been known as whisky"
Most of Product Affected.
Ono leading expert says 1t is the most
momentous legal decision ever pro-
nounced in connection with the whisky
trade and would strike at the most power
full branch of the industry and at prac-
tically every one Of the great distributing
firms. The present output of whisky in
Scotland is about 26,00N, 900 gallons annu-
ally, and Of that fully two-thirds is rep
resented by the product of the patent still.
There, moreover, 10000, 900 gallons OF
whisky in bond in Scotland and nearly
half that quantity. or 100000 100 gallons,
was made in patent stills, and under the
magisterial decision had no right to be
sold as whisky.
The opinion generally is expressed in the
trade hat a new name will lave been
found for whisky made in patent stills, but
there also is a feeling of indignation at
the condemnation of the patent still itself.
Archibald Williamson, NJ. P, has given
notice Of Il bill to amend the law relating
to the sale of whisky and to provide for
the marketing of casks and others vessels
containing whisky.

C"ONGRESSMEN CUT
OUT THE FREE SEEDS
House Committee Drops Appropriation
Item for Next Year Shutting Off
Distribution.

Distribution.
Washington, March This is the
last year of free garden and flower
seeds SO far as the committee on agri-
culture of the house is concerned.
BY q vote of 8 to Z the committee de-
cided to strike out the $3.50, 900 appro-
priation made annually for the free dis
tribution of seeds by members Of the
house and senate.
Free seeds are one of the last of the
petty perquisites of members. Each
year they receive a vast quantity for
distribution among their constituents.
Many Of the seeds sent out are never,
planted, while in some instances farm
ers n gardeners ave come to depend
upon the annual contribution from the
government.
Secretary Wilson, of the department
of agriculture. when he was before the
committee, was only half-hearted in his
support of the annua seed distribution,
and when the committee heard Mr.. Gal
loway, chief of the bureau of plant
industry of the department of agrIcul-
ture, there was formed a movement
to do away with the distribution Of
seeds.
The annual seed distribution has been
one of the most vexatious problems Of
many a congressman's career. Gener-,
ally the member does not receive
enough seeds to go around. and If his
predecessor was anything Of a trader
he had established the precedent Of
sending some to all his constituents.
Secretaries TO congressman will well
come the abolition of free seeds, as It,
will save them from having to address,
each year from four thousand to ten,
thousand slips to be pasted on the seed
ma ckats

sell, of Texas, opposed the bill. They
