NEW YORK, April 12.-Todays stock
market did not fulfill the promise held
out. by the violent relapse in rates yes
terday caused by the news of the heavy
shipments of gold for import. With call
loans opening at 10 per cent, and large
amounts loaning near that rate. yes

afforded by the gold engagements was
modified, although, the, money, rate ran

stocks or attempts to advance prices.
Notable strength was. limited to a few
individual stocks and the movement was
hating and irregular The impression
was given that relief from the stringency

a large extension of the gold movement.
Discounts in London hardened appreca-
bly, and conditions moved distinctly away
from the position which offered a COM
mand by New York of the Bank of Eng
lands supply of British gold coin.
An important relief of the local bank
ing tension has been secured by the large
transfer of speculative holdings of stocks
from New York to London.
Readings strength today was connected
with hopes of labor settlement ana
was followed by n reaction in that stock.
This was the mainstay of the whole

Arrival of Twenty-Five Carloads of
Potatoes From Beyond the Te-
hachapi - Butter Shows
Further Weakness

On the produce exchange yesterday
at the daily call a strong effort was
made to advance the jobbing price of
local ranch eggs, candled to 22c a doz-
en-, but the action of the quotation COM
mittee was unshaken, and the official
prices remained at 21c and zoe.
1t was stated that many sales had
been made at 22c. Possibly there will
be an advance today. The receipts were
$50 cases, a quantity in excess of the
daily consumption.
The sales ON the board included five
cases of case count eggs. 25. sacks of
pink beans, No, /, and one carload of
fancy Highland potatoes.
Butter was weak on heavy receipts.
Demand is active, but not sufficient to
clean up the daily supply.
Potato receipts reached twenty five
carloads. The local market now is
flooded with spuds. but as a large quan-
tity of the delayed shipments had been
sold the present heavy supply Will not
seriously affect quoted prices.
In the line of vegetables the jobbers
are well stocked with full variety.
Poultry appeared to be plentiful.
The fish market was overstocked with
large fish, sardines and catfish. Notice
is given fishermen not to go after large
fish on Saturday and Sunday.

is YOUR NECK THIN2

To make the throat full and round. the
best exercise is to bend the head slowly
forward until the chin touches the neck
and then slowly raise the head TO it's nor
NAL position. Repeat these movements
until you are tired. Then bend the head
sls far backward as possible. Sitting erect
in a chair bend the head from one side
TO the other and then roll the head 10 the
right, left and forward. Another good po-
sition is TO let the arms hang loosely at
the side Raise the shoulders as high as
possible, then forward. down and back
ward until circle is formed. Continue
this for a time. and then reverse the mo-
ton. DO this every day for five or ten
minutes.
Again, stand perfectly erect with the

WILLIAM II. TAFT,
Secretary of Peace.

He's the brother of the little brown
He's the uncle OF the Panama Canal,
He's the cousin of the lingo who re-
sides In San Domingo
And he's srandsire OF the Moro cam
And he has the Porto Ricans on his
And he has the San Domingers on

While his heart is beating Juba 10 tho
As his waistcoat cries: "Expan-

Your heart is chasing datos in the
And the east-wind whispers gentle
with an accent oriental:

And his tailor cries with pleasure as

o william. don't you hear the gu-gu's
From the palmy Guam and IIo-ro

From the scribes OF Pingo- -Pango
And the tribes OF Zamboango;
Come back. Bill. and take the
